“ I celebrated my birthday at this place last night for the first time, and wow, what an experience! First off, the decor is incredible--every corner feels like a magical wonderland. My friend and I indulged in the New Zealand Lamb Racks (so delicious!) paired with a Strawberry cocktail that quickly became my favorite. Our waiter, Giovanni, was an absolute gem! His vibrant energy made us feel so welcomed, and he was attentive throughout the night. I can't wait to return and explore more of the menu. Being here feels like stepping into a dream! ”

“ The cutest floral aesthetic I've seen in a restaurant! The colorful flowers everywhere gave it such a charming, enchanting vibe. Loved the Ambiance. Our server Augustine gave us a run down on the menu and some great suggestions on food and drinks. Ordered the Branzino which was delicious, the Brussels sprouts, meatballs, and the pasta Truffle Cacio E Pepe. I liked everything but probably could have passed on the pasta dish. The meatballs were good, but were not seasoned enough for my taste making them mildly uninteresting, but were saved by the sauce and breadsticks that accompanied. A little disappointed we could not visit the speakeasy after dinner like we planned due to a private party. Hope to check it out next time. Our waiter suggested we try out a bar/ lounge walking distance down the street called OR, which turned out to be a great move! ”

“ Valet parking was convenient, though the valet driver was busy chatting with a friend, and wasn't attentive. The ambiance is beautiful--I'd recommend sitting near the fireplace for a cozy experience. We ordered the truffle pasta, meatballs, and Brussels sprouts, and everything was absolutely delicious. The service was just okay. The staff did the bare minimum and weren't very personable. It also took a while for the waitress to acknowledge our table and give us water. Overall, it's a great spot for a romantic date. ”

“ Great looking venue with amazing food. We had the prix fixe menu for Valentine's Day and it was a lot more filling than I expected. The ambiance was originally what we went there for, but the complexity of their dishes is what surprised me. Their appetizers are packed with flavor and presented beautifully. Their sauces are expertly crafted. I had a sole fish with lobster sauce and there was a lot of lobster packed in there. The cocktails were good too. Service was good and the food came out very very quick that night. ”

“ Absolutely stunning ambiance. Chic and playful. We had exceptional service and the food and cocktails were delicious. I would highly recommend this restaurant! ”

“ Recently visited this place for Dine LA after seeing it pop up all over social media, and I just had to check it out for myself. The decor was absolutely to my taste--gorgeously adorned with flowers everywhere. The dim lighting and elegant tables create such an intimate, romantic atmosphere. Our service was top-notch, thanks to our server Augustine, who went above and beyond to make us feel taken care of. He was incredibly attentive and so pleasant, he gave fantastic recommendations, which we were so glad to follow. For appetizers, we had the Charred Octopus and Shaved Brussels Sprouts. My boyfriend really enjoyed the octopus, while I (a huge fan and critic of Brussels sprouts) was pleasantly surprised. The miso vinaigrette it was dressed with really elevated the dish. For dinner, we went with the Lobster Rigatoni and the Filet Mignon--both were absolutely delicious. We literally cleaned our plates! But my favorite part of the meal was the side of homemade focaccia. It pairs perfectly with any dish and literally melts in your mouth. ”

“ When there is even the slightest hint of a wintery day in Los Angeles, I grab a coat and run for some place fabulous to celebrate it, nearby. I had seen Arden a couple of weeks ago on my way to an event in Beverly Hills and made a reservation, feeling I would need something festive to cap off the holidays. I am so glad I did. First of all, it's beautiful. Yes, I know, it uses artificial flowers but with such flare and color sense that you are uplifted just looking at them. Imagine if they were real -- they would wilt in the December cold. I love them despite their being a bit of a throw back. Just downright colorful and pretty. Next: the menu is a dream for vegetarians and sophisticated carnivores alike. Have a look at it (see my menu shot). I could not decide which one sounded better. In the end, every single item we tried was exceptional. The entire vibe is fresh, fun, and festive. There was upbeat music piped throughout and so right for the frosty mist that covered the area in a pearly glow that people were tapping their feet -- I almost thought they were going to jump up and dance. Service was perfect. We were late. No problem at all, Charlie, the hostess simply changed the reservation time and welcomed us when we arrived breathlessly. By the way, we were there at our magic hour between 2 and 3 and were able to snag head-on free parking right around the corner. That was a sign of great things to come. Michael, our server, was the soul of customer care. He smiled and said "Yes!" to every request. Out came what we ordered with perfect timing. Portions are generous, the tab was really modest, the whole place was spotless and whimsical. We have to come back for dinner. Don't miss this little gem when you are in the area. ”
