    The waiter was very nice but didn’t let us know the order of the food coming out would be out of order & didn’t remember or follow up about our remaining dishes until we had to ask. Food overall was very very good. I love this place, but just didn’t feel organized.

    This has to be one of the best dining experiences I've had in Los Angeles in a long time. This was the first time we came to this amazing restaurant. Everything we ordered was phenomenal. The service was great. The bartender I think is Ben and he was also the food server. The Maitre Day was coding and he was amazing too. Everything was great. The drinks were great. The food was amazing. The desserts are to die for! Do not miss Samba. It's the best. We had the steak which was amazing. We had the rockfish which was incredible. We had a duck Panh, which was super super good. We had Bucatini, which was amazing. We had some great kare kare tamales - tempura blossoms. Highly recommend. Do not miss Sampa.
