We had a reservation at 815p. This place gets very busy. We had a great experience from start to end. From the hostess to our server, everyone did their part to make the dining experience memorable. Our server (sorry I forgot his name), gave us the best recommendations for dishes. The roasted leek and the scallop crudo were so delicious. The mushroom pizza, branzino, and the squid ink spaghetti were also amazing. And let's not forget the drinks! The search and destroy was my favorite drink. Thank you for a great birthday dinner!

Party of two promptly seated. We chose to sit indoors as the dining room was less crowded than the outdoors patio. Service was prompt. We ordered a few different rolls and small plates. Ordered a nice bottle of Sake. All in, a great time for a tourist couple seeking a great dinner. Eats & drinks + tip was $190.

Excellent service. Cooking is well balanced, nuanced, and elegant. So are the cocktails. By the glass wines are nicely varied. Lovely collection of amari. One of my favorite Italian spots in LA along with Antico Nuovo and Chi Spacca.

Took my staff out to celebrate medical staff week, and Flemmings greeted us with a congratulations, sign and little confetti stars and gave us a little chocolates, those little details made the event that much special. We’ll take my stuff again next year.

My wife and I planned dinner before concert here. I had the salmon and lager beer. My wife had lemon drop and Cesar salad with chicken and we had calamari to start. Every was delicious. The service was very good. The rooftop setting and view were great. We recommend and will be back soon.
