by Mellori V. on Recently wined and dined here for a birthday. Quick synopsis - it's "alright." Our entire party sat outside in the cabana-esque atmosphere. Decor is definitely a sight to stare at and indulge in with the marbled fire pits and mini palm trees. However, hold your breath... The service is mediocre at best with a stick insect of a waitress who exhibited the typical Hollywood-waitress attitude, "I'm serving you, but don't bother me." Awesome. Moving on to the food - meh. My bf and I split the N.Y. split steak and Spanish cheese stuffed potato cakes. Nothing special about the presentation, which would naturally make you think that the food was that good that simplicity in presentation fit. Not. The. Case. The steak was very fatty, lacked flavor, and was overdone. The potato cakes were pretty good - probably the only culinary highlight of the evening. Wine selection was poor and drinks were "okay." To boot, the food and drinks are ridiculously overpriced for what you're getting. I won't try to come back here anytime soon or in the future. If it happens that I end up here again, it'll be by inebriated chance, not exactly choice. Go here if only for the decor, otherwise you're better off spending your precious bucks elsewhere.
by Robert Z. on URB readers vote this place the club/venue of 2009 and on rateclubs it has three stars?!? Digweed. Special Event. After hours set. Almost better than sex. Sunday afternoon, I'm dropping off a friend and many things are apparent: 1) I'm still buzzed. (Strong booze) 2) I'm deaf in my right ear. (Strong sounds) 3) I have no idea how I'm going to find the Griffith Park Old Zoo. 4) I have no idea how I'm going to make my flight at 6:30pm. 5) John Digweed is God.
