Just visited Ketchup for the first time this past weekend with my boyfriend and had a great time. We were greeted by a very friendly hostess who promptly showed us to out seats. As soon as we sat down someone brought us some sort of Pretzels with dipping sauses. Soon after or server came over, introduced himself as Davis and told us about the drink menu. I had the Summer Loving and my boyfriend had some martini made with Patron. Our drinks came quickly and Davis began to offer some suggestions of what he likes and thought that we would like to start out with. We went with his suggestions and ordered the lobster wraps and mini tacos as appetizers and the Scallops and Ribs as our entrees. Our appetizers arrived and Davis came back over to check on us and make sure that everything was good, which it was. The appetizers were delicious and the portions were perfect. Soon after we got our entrees. My boyfriend ate his ribs so fast that I had barely started on my scallops. His ribs came with Mac and cheese which I only got a bite of before he finished those off as well. My scallops were cooked to perfection and the mash potatoes were delicious. I usually never finish all of my food but for these I had to. Our server came back to clear our table and brought us some dessert menus. I was so full, but he convinced us we should try the Ice cream sandwich. My boyfriend happily ate most of the dessert and Davis came back and brought us our check. I go out to eat often in LA and hands downs I had one of the most enjoyable experiences dining at Ketchup. Our waiter alone made us want to come back. He made us laugh and we truly felt like he cared about what we wanted. There was no sense of that LA attitude at all. The food was great and although some items are a bit pricey we had no problem paying the bill because we had an enjoyable time out. I definitely recommend this place to anybody and hope to make a return visit soon. This place should last a long time.
Pros: Service, Portions, Ambience
Cons: Parking, Price
