Tasty and creative dishes, excellent service and attention to detail, good wine list. The tables are close together and it's very noisy inside, but the food and service make up for it. The chef is very accommodating to diet restrictions and the staff is quite knowledgeable about ingredients. Very impressed! We will make this restaurant a regular on our dining-out list!

We were a party of 6 for brunch. We all got something different and each dish was so good. My son got chicken and waffles, I got the crab omelet, my husband got the shrimp burger, and my daughter and son in law got the salmon Benedict. Everything was delicious! The crab omelette was the only thing that could use improvement. It’s a little dry but loaded with crab meat which was a pleasant surprise. We will be back!

Bartender, Paul, is an absolute Superstar and way more than a bartender. Aside from being a very talented bartender Paul has got the right approach and attitude and gets the customer experience. Food is delicious and continues to get better each time we visit.

This is our second time visiting this restaurant, and the first time after their renovation, and they have never disappointed us! The food is delicious and the atmosphere is very cozy. Great cocktails as well. Great date night or couples spot.

The food was great, and I love that despite being fine dining the overall vibe is pretty casual. As others mentioned, it is very loud in the restaurant, but the service and food outweigh the noise. I think I will return in the fall and sit outside!

This was the first Friday they we’re open for lunch - and it was great. Food was superb: risotto balls, roasted beets, blistered Brussel sprouts, potato gnocchi with ragu, and a beautiful salad with farro and quinoa. Service was excellent - very attentive, and the chef came to check on us. And, it was quiet; we could talk! We will definitely go, again.

The menu here is somewhat limited. However, do not let that fool you - what they put on the table is creative and excellent. There are choices for both vegitarians and traditionalists. The atmosphere is a small neighborhood restaurant with patrons having robust conversations - it's little loud due the small size. It's a laid-back, hopping atmosphere with a combination of patrons ordering drinks to bottles of wine with their dinner. For an appetizer we had the Ahi Tuna Crudo, which was excellent, spicy too. As an entree the Egglant Lagsgna, is also excellent. The crowds here vary from young 30' to an older professional crowd. Their bar offerings are excellent and creative. This small neighborhood resturant is very popular with reservations suggested. Casual dress. Go enjoy.

Really enjoyed our night out at Park Bistro. Our absolutely favorite dish was the Crispy Shrimp (piquillo pepper, chili garlic crunch) appetizer. Man, serve this on a baguette with the house lemon aioli and you would have a great Cajun-Asian Po-boy! Also noteworthy were the crispy brussel sprouts, blistered shishitos, and Ricotta gnocchi. Loved the Nashville hot shrimp burger, but personally, I would love to see if the chef could ramp up the heat for me some. lol Good spot.

Very nice ambience and service. The cocktails were amazing as was the wine Spanish wine I enjoyed. We started with the risotto balls, which were pretty good but the tomato sauce was a little sweet for me. The tuna crudo was delicious and had a nice chili oil. The crispy shrimp may have been my favorite, just a “bang bang” fried shrimp with crispy chili. I wasn’t a huge fan of the gnocchi, however which used the same tomato sauce as the risotto balls. We sat outside, which would have been lovely if not for the heat and the flies, but it’s South LA what can you do? Our server was really nice and attentive.
