Where do i even start? The place was lovely and made you feel like you were entering a cozy place that had an outdoorsy atmosphere to it. I loved the flowers surrounding the roof! My partner and I both ordered the filet mignon and my gosh was it the most delicious food we had ever tasted. There were so many unique flavors that I can't even describe. Everything on the plate had a purpose and went well the the meal. The presentation and taste were a 10/10. What a lovely way to celebrate my partners birthday.

The ambiance is very pretty and romantic! My boyfriend brought me here for our anniversary, partially due to the cat symbol in their name since I love cats, but this place did not disappoint! We got an appetizer (piri piri shrimp), a starter (housemade parker roll), a pomegranate margarita, and two entrees (herb crusted lamb rack and the filet mignon). I recommend all of the above. The piri piri shrimp has a delicious sauce and we used the parker roll to dip in it. All the meats were juicy and tender. The staff is also super friendly and quick to answer any questions.

Atmosphere, decor, ambiance, food, and service were outstanding... the inside of the restaurant is just as beautiful as you see on social media posts. My ONE and only gripe, just ONE, was the unexpected cost of "still" and "sparkling" water priced at $7 and $8 a glass, respectively. The no-cost water alternative was tap water. Had we known of the price of the water before ordering we would have just declined the water since we each ordered the pomegranate margarita, a soda, and hardly touched our waters. One other thing is the tables are set really close together so you can clearly hear your neighbors conversation and knees are nearly touching your neighbors. Other than these two very minor details, in comparison with the very positive aspects of the restaurant I would still return.

Only took me about a decade to visit LAs most romantic restaurant and it pretty much sets the vibe. Lots of warm lighting, the open air concept, the greenery, top notch service, and amazing food! They can customize the menu to have any heading u like for special occasions (birthdays/anniversaries) which is a nice touch. It's very moody romantic vibes and almost every table there was a couple. The waiter gave his recommendations and checked in on us regularly. For starters, missed out on the Parker Rolls (sad day) but the steak tartare was plenty and delicious. You could blindfold someone to try it and they wouldn't know it's raw meat. The oysters were fresh and bursting. It even came with a bottle of habanero on the side which was a great addition. The peri peri shrimp were large and juicy. That sauce was finger licking good , wish I had a little more heftier bread to soak it all up. The rib eye and filet mignon were both super tender! But I think the filet mignon plate trumps the rib eye plate. The mushrooms were bursting with flavor and overall was the better tasting of the two. Do yourself a favor and DO ORDER the chocolate lava cake. Oozing with warm chocolate!

Overall I loved this place. Parking was difficult so I just did valet for $14. It's very beautiful and romantic inside especially in the evening when you can see the lights inside. The bread was delicious (sadly did not come complimentary). The filet mignon was perfectly cooked and flavored. The portions were small but I was satisfied. The salmon was a little fishy at first but might have just been the skin. The flavors were amazing and the highlight was definitely the himachi crudo. It comes with four small pieces but they are beautiful and delicious. Service was also excellent. The only negative review is probably for the drinks. They are pricey and did not blow me away. They tasted like drinks you could get at any bar. Other than that it was a great experience and I will be back.

Beautiful inside, but very crowded. Yes, romantic but it's very hustle and bustle. Organic Chicken is super good, 5/5. The breaded chicken thigh and drumstick had so much meat on them; the pictures don't do it justice, it's very filling. The seasoning is not overly flavorful, which I liked because it didn't become something extra; it's seasoned chicken. Sometimes chicken can be overdosed with generic oregano and basil or be bland, but here is a perfect balance of flavorful skin with just pure meat inside. It came with a side of porridge with congealed egg and thin wafers. Porridge was delicious, it's not soaked in water like most, I think they used chicken broth because it's really flavorful. Service is great, everyone is very friendly! Plus, they answer calls right away and are really helpful.

So on her 50th we decided to come to this place as my wife loves to go to all types of places to eat and let me tell you about this place. 1st the atmosphere is amazing please check out the picture. 2. It's pricy and it may not be for you and it's ok but the experience with the place and how we were taken care of was amazing. 3. The food was great she got the rack of Lam Got the Sea bass. We also had some drinks to complement our dinner! The Lam is not my favorite but my wife loves the dish! The sea bass had a great tease but it was to my liking and fun fact never did it had that fishy smells so that was a plus! My wife love her lam and was very very happy and as for me I got to eat something that I enjoyed along with great conversation. The servers are so caring on making sure we had our waters filled and making sure we needed anything else. Just very attentive. My take of this place is over well!! Yes I recommend you visiting this place if you want celebrate a special occasion, just to eat and hangout, impress your girlfriend or just wanting to find something different . Hope this helps! I looking forward to coming back and trying more of this place has to offer! Thanks for making my wife's 50th pre dinner party a great evening!!
