"I was at Fia this evening with 3 friends for the opening night of Dine LA. Two of us arrived early and had a cocktail before dinner. The staff was lovely and accommodating. When we sat for dinner, we confirmed the Dine LA menu info and inquired about switching the first course for one lady who has a seafood allergy. We were told they couldn't make any changes but that we could order a separate appetizer at an additional charge. We agreed to that and happily enjoyed 3 of the 4 courses. The dessert was a disappointment, but even that was forgivable as the other food was so delicious. What was unforgivable was the awful way the manager addressed us after we questioned the bill which was 30 per person higher than listed on Dine LA . They have it listed it at 65. There are other restaurants that listed their menu at 95, but Fia's is 65. When we mentioned this to the server (who was wonderful) she immediately got the manager who greeted us holding a binder and seemed upset. When we explained the issue, she was accusatory and blaming us until we showed her the dine LA page including the menu with the price we expected to be honored. At no time did she apologize or offer any resolution. She just stood there blaming the website. Two of us work in hospitality with one being a former restaurant manager and a chef. The other is a server who works at a popular entertainment venue. We were all shocked at how she reacted. At no point were we rude although I wanted to be after your manager was so dissmisive, took no responsibility and offered no resolution. She just walked away. We eat out together often and have participated in Dine LA for many years to try out new places. We had even discussed returning for brunch or another dinner at a later date. That is until the manager made us feel so uncomfortable and unwelcome. We left feeling upset mad instead of satisfied and happy."

"We reserved a two person hightop near the bar (there were only two of us and we didn 't want to share a table since the pandemic is still a thing). I wasn 't sure what to expect, but there wasn 't a ton of bar traffic to bother us and we had a great view and breathing room. We weren 't too far back at all. I was really happy with our spot.The drinks we got were STRONG but good. As soon as we went to order food, the kitchen turned the food off to catch up with orders. We had planned to eat before the show and sip our drinks while watching but ended up having to wait until well into the show to order, which was a little annoying. I totally understand why they did it, but I think I 'd rather have ordered and then waited ages (though that 's just me). Also, we 'd looked at the menu online before going only to find out the menu was different when we actually got there. We were super looking forward to a s 'mores dessert but instead they had a strawberry one, so just keep an eye out for that!That being said, our server was great and let us know the second food came back up (this would have been a 4 star review if service hadn 't been absolutely perfect, and honestly everyone working looked like they were having fun, which was awesome and a great atmosphere). And once we did get the food, it was pretty good. We tried a seasonal salad, the parmesan fries, and the chocolate dessert mousse. Everything was fresh and delicious and the concert ended up being just a super chill and enjoyable experience.I 'd totally go back for another concert and do the hightop table again, we had a great night and a lot of fun (once I wasn 't hangry anymore)."
