"Came here for their soft opening and took my mother here for her birthday dinner. The location is gorgeous, they definitely did some great renovations with the place. They are a sister company of Cheesecake Factory, so there are a lot of similarities. The food portion is giant and you will definitely not be able to finish it all. You can share them most of time. They also have an extensive and diverse menu as well. They also do not take reservations, but the restaurant is pretty large and has a good amount of seating, inside and outside. I really love the chicken and waffles for brunch it's massive portions but also delicious. I would recommend that. The Pot Roast Cheese fries are a lot and the meat is tender, but my favorite would be the double stuffed potato spring rolls, it's like mashed potatoes in eggroll form. They are super good and probably not healthy for you, but worth a try. I wasn't too much of a fan of the french dip sandwich however. Their pastas are good and the fish and chips are good as well. The salad is too much for one person, I also wasn't too much of a fan of the southwestern salad, too much going on not much salad. The dessert is where it's at, the strawberry shortcake is amazing, and so is the butter cake. I would completely just come back for dessert. I enjoy the appetizers and the desserts the most each time. I haven't quite found a lunch/dinner entree that is parallel to the other foods."

"I stayed in the desert cuz I climbed near and I had to see what in place with the beautiful stained glass rose on the display for all, only two blocks north of sunset to Hillhurst. I arrived on a Tuesday, and by the way, DURING ONE of the BEST HAPPY HOURs I"VE COME ACROSS!!!! I wanted to have a starter and then go to a nearby restaurant. It didn't happen. The bartender, Nate, was very funny, personal and happy to offer service. The falafel Concoction Wrap-like) is very large and for $1.25 during the happy hour that interested, just get it. I'd like to pay $4 for it. beef carpaccio was deliscious; one of the best I had! All ingredients were fresh. The crostini was perfect in crispy and softness. Beef was on site. For $3!!!! Are you serious? I think my nectar Margarita was $5. The bartender crushed various fresh limes into the drink and seemed to know what he did. And he enjoyed it, the son of a gun. Beer $3 for lucky hour and I think it was 16 ounces. Peroni, Yeast Cutters, Fat Tire, Stella) Needless to say, after taking the amazing Carpaccio, I decided what the hell, I am like hell, why go? Besides, I was curious to try the Happy Hour Entrees. The $5 burger was excellent. Great bungalow. Attention to detail on shrimp. Bacon to boot. The fish and chips were good, not great. The Pommes were very good. The tartaric acid sauce was very good, but the fish just looked a bit off for my pallet. I was actually a bit surprised) I'd try again, maybe too. Friends are $3. Why not the fish for two extra? MAybe will be perfected during the next visit. I was on a role, so I also got the cream Brulee $7) and some Gelato $2 a scoop) The cream brulee was very generous in size and was covered with a variety of fresh, fresh fruits. It was a Ted Underdon, but very nice. And also got a cappacino $5) that was excellent. The whole staff was very warm and good moods were in the air. The glassware, plates and utensils were all beautiful, like the bartop. CHIMAY ON TAP! WTF?-NICE) The selection of high-end blood is also ridiculous. A wide selection of hard to find elevated alcohol at the bar. In summary - I was always pleasantly surprised. Can't wait until a complete dinner. This place looks like he has a bright future! And I was told that they would have live music on weekends and maybe sooner. The bill for two people, three courses and drinks was $40 during the Happy Hour. Happily this place is a walk away. HAppy hours 4-6 pm come there NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
