The building, that dates 1925, used to be a bank . The decorations keeps traces from the bank , such as some drawers, and the ceiling. Good looking and friendly staff . And the food is great! Must visit

Connie Chiu

The lobster nik niks are so yummy. The Bloody Mary with some spice is perfect for brunch , but my favorite is the free sea salt chocolate chip cookies at the end. Make sure you grab a couple ;))

Try the fried chicken sandwich ...crispy with a great spicy tangy sauce . Brussel sprout salad also very good. And the chocolate chip cookie is icing on the cake at the end. A must stop place!

Rachel Clark

I came here specifically for the mac & cheese and I was NOT disappointed. Might be the best I've had anywhere. But it's quite heavy (and generously portioned ), so expect to leave with leftovers.

This place was outstanding. Eclectic and Very tasteful flavors. Highly recommend the avocado toast and prime rib dip . So good.

Kim Drusch

Great way to spend a couple hours on a Sunday. Order several somethings for everyone to share. Keep ordering until you're full. Half off cocktails twelve to seven. Out of town guests love it!

Christina Chin

Come for barfly lunch price! $7 lunch at the bar , can't be beat and normal dish size. Changes each day, but got chop chix salad tues..so good!

Rosalind

It can get crowded even on week nights, but they have GREAT happy hour deals ! 50% off cocktails until 7pm. Food is good, too. You can add an egg to your hamburger . Need I say more?!

Annette Hargan

I loved this happy hour place. It was rather loud and I had to get close to my husband to converse, but what a fun vibe. I recommend this place highly, especially if you're young. :D

Mike Taylor

Get the Kale and Quinoa salad with a side of Salmon and just die and go to heaven already. It's the best, healthiest thing I have ever eaten. Every bit was better than the last. Incredible!

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Cool space and great cocktails . Bartenders are friendly and talented too. Great bar for before or after dinner drinks, or for a date. Their food looks pretty tasty too.

Kevin T

Their misfit burger and fried chicken sandwich were both on the salty side, but delicious! And the complimentary sea salt chocolate chip cookie was so good!!

Nicole D

Not only is this place gorgeous, but the food is excellent! I had lobster & prime rib sliders , the prime rib was to die for! Also got shoestring fries which were the perfect amount of crunchy! Mmm.

Rachel K

The French fries with blue cheese dipped in the honey mustard plus one of the happy hour cocktails makes a good weekend afternoon.

Joelle H.

Amazing kale salad !!!! Ive tried the green vegetable soup , mac and cheese , lobster sliders , tortilla soup , shoestring potato sticks... All good! The best salted chocolate chip cookies ( complimentary )

Phil Biedron

Not much of a variety for beer for happy hour , but almost every cocktail is $7 and they are fantastic. Don't be shy to ask for another free cookie

We make a beeline for this bar every time we're in LA but no longer im afraid. Had a lovely evening the other day but we just tried to have drinks outside & were told that you had to order dinner too!

Adrian Phillips

Happy hour all day until 7pm. Get there around 5-ish as it gets pretty crazy at 6pm. The Misfit cocktail is highly recommended (it's like a Negroni )

Marie Jacobson

The Mac and cheese with chorizo was mind blowing. Large portions of food with a great selection of drinks. Loved the free cookie at the end of the meal

Angelina Zeppieri

Any of the cocktails on the menu are great! Many made with grapefruit and lavender infused honey .

The fried chicken sandwich was honestly just...unreal how good it was. Awesome beautiful decor. Green chili burger was also to die for

Sit at bar . The steak French dip niks (sliders ) are great. And definitely don't be shy to ask for the free chocolate chip cookies behind the bar - they rock.

Hajar

Mac & cheese , french fries , lobster slider , kale salad all are super delicious and don't forget the complimentary cookies ???? ????

Patricia Drexler

Brussel sprouts were excellent as well as the avacodo toast and prime rib dip . Serves great. A bit noisy . Oh forgot hamburger tasty too.

Eve Griffin

Misfit Burger(very wet/greasy)Lobster Nik Nik was lovely texture, Avocado Toast was the best, light & flavourful. Service wasnt great, too many servers, all sticking to themselves not helping ech othr

Q Lam

Dixie fried chicken was excellent. Shoestring fries are what you expect and charred broccoli is decent but not great. Cocktails are really good however. Bar is the best place to sit with comfy seats .

D K

Lobster sliders , curry cauliflower , mushroom carbonara , cocktails - all delicious!!
