This was my first time here. It's a Thursday night around 5pm and it wasn't too busy, but we eat early. My family mentioned they wanted to come here and I was curious to checkout the happy hour. At the time of the visit, they didn't have cocktails (but that might change), but they do have wines, rose, Spritz and pizza. These are half priced from 4pm-5:30pm for happy hour. They do have beer, but it's not half priced. We tried the olive oil cake, which was different and I enjoyed it. It wasn't sweet and went well with my wine. They do have digestivos, which I think they call liquors
The restaurant has a very cute vibe. I love the bar area. They do have outdoor seating and it's heated. Parking is available, but this parking lot is super busy. There is also street parking available.
I do plan to come back to eat. I want to shout out the bartender, Jorge. He took good care of us. He definitely knows his wines and was very professional. I appreciated him sharing about the restaurant and answering my many questions. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My family will be returning. I'll have to wait until my next visit to LA.
