Joey Anthony: by far the best mac n cheese in la. omg. wow. blt also maybe the best one ever made. the drinks have all been good but the watermelon mojito is amazing. i also say the bread pudding if u do dessert
Dory Benami: Bread pudding yummy. Lamb Crepe double yum. A bit noisy cause of terrible acoustics so plan on shouting a bit if the restaurant is full so you can hear whoever you are seated next to.
Sam Licker: Lamb and fennel sausage flatbread was out of this world!
Chris Cookson: Nice vegan ice cream, I usually go for the chocolate, coconut, banana pudding flavor but they're all great. This is an excellent place to take someone who has food allergies.
Frozen Fruit Co - Plant Based Ice Cream: Say hello to our Chocolate FroFru. This combination of Coconut & Cacao is our signature & most popular flavor (the one we will never replace). Rich, chocolatey and best of all completely plant based.
Noura Mohammed: Loved that everything here was dairy free! The fountain outside reminded me of Barcelona, also the place was very cute haha
Megan Stluka: The garlic knot is a must for sure, also the margarita pizza is excellent. Also the desserts are delicious, specifically the pound cake and cinnamon bread pudding (special).
Shane Plossu: Go for the chicken meatballs each and every time - we always do. Great flavor, especially when the remaining sauce is scooped up with the house bread.
Eater: A tiny, always packed bakery and cafe from the Rustic Canyon team. Expect seasonal small plates, impeccable baked goods, and some of the best pizza pies in the city. [Eater 38 Member]

Lu M.: Gotta try the sticky toffee pudding!
Mike Penhall: The frickles (fried pickles), and oxtail poutine are just incredible. Pairs well with their great wine selection.
ZAGAT: Vegetarians can find a fair amount of selections on the menu, and the back patio is great during warm weather (it’s also often quieter than the main room).
