This is by far my favorite restaurant in LA. I've only been for happy hour and the place is almost always empty, despite great reviews. I can't imagine why - the ambiance is great, service is attentive, and the prices are great during happy hour. There is also always street parking at that time, but bring quarters for the meters, which are checked into the wee hours of the morning. Another tip: you can buy a $25 gift certificate on restaurant-com for $10 so you'll save $15 on a $35 meal (have to spend $35 to use the gift certificate). Also restaurant-com often has specials so you can buy the gift certificates for as little as $4. ****UPDATE**** When I went back recently, they had significantly reduced their happy hour menu, so I'm taking this down to a 4 star - still a great value, but much more limited in selection! I'm very disappointed.
Pros: Happy Hour, lots of street parking at meters, discount certificates available (see review), ambiance, service
Cons: Might be a bit pricey if you don't have the certificate or don't go at happy hour, recently reduced their happy hour menu
