Venue was interesting . Huge parking lot yet still charge for valet also cash only ; 2017? Besides the expecting annoying parking situation the food was at best mediocre . I had the spaghetti and meatballs barely could taste the “stinky rose” and the sauce was not good. Last but not least my girlfriend had the pesto dish and save your self time and money and get the buitoni pesto at Ralph’s !!!! This place did not have good pesto at all. Either way thanks for the full belly and merry Christmas !!!!
Garlic everything! This place is awesome!! I loved the garlic ice cream. Our waiter was very friendly and the service was wonderful. If you love garlic, you gotta give it a shot!!!
Really great food - the bread at the beginning of the meal is terrific. Quirky and fun decor makes it a memorable dining experience. Food is great and service was fast. Would go back! To me the garlic ice cream tastes a lot like vanilla nothing crazy.
Very busy and popular. Wilshire was blocked due to street repairs making access complicated. They sit you up only when majority of party present, so we had to wait for nearly 25 min despite having reservation. Steak ordered medium well came well done and dry, but the manager exchanged it without hesitation. Valet parking was crazy, they don't give change even if you pay cash, if you want to pay with card it's same $8 but you have to pay inside the restaurant.
This is one of my favorite restaurants Fantastic food (LOVE garlic), eclectic Italian (that's a thing right? 😉) ambiance, & have always had great service! This is a great restaurant for a romantic dinner.

This was my first time here. So amazing. The service was outstanding. The food was out of this world. My husband and I highly recommend it. We will definitely be back.
Great service I came for dinner and I didn't know I was going to eat that much. Portions are big I ordered lamb and it was delicious. Good wine selection but could be better. Make sure you try their icecream.
My experience was outstanding!! I had never been but drive by place,all the time. Decided to take my sister on her Birthday, and boy was she excited!! She was stating how excellent to food was and how it was the best she ever had. I loved the Shrimp on the Grill dipped in Garlic Butter, one of my favorites and my daughter's too. Thumbs up!!
I'm waiting for my party of 10 to arrive and they are late 😮 But the staff here is WONDERFUL and this coffee I am drinking while I wait is on point Thanks ..The food here is just AWESOME all of the time. Hands down some of the BEST
I don't understand why I haven't come here sooner considering how big of a garlic fan I am. Ambiance and food were great. Definitely a good place for a date since the setting is very intimate. The service has been good. Their garlic ice cream is bombshell.
I had an absolutely delicious steak there. Everything I tasted was good, and we were able to bring our glasses of wine outside for a cigarette break. Not a big deal to most, but my date and I appreciated it. The staff was very nice and accommodating, and the interior was so random and whimsical, making for a generally fun dining experience.
Dinner was was delicious !!!
Their Cabernet HESS was very good the ribs were tender and moist
the ribeye steak was the best I've had in a long time and to top it all off the district manager Steve was so kind and generous !!
because we didn't have enough cash to pay for valet he put two dollars out of his own pocket to help us pay for valley parking!
Where do you see that ever!?
They deserve six stars not five stars
Of course their garlic ice cream is the best !!
and again thank you Steve so much for your kindness !!
You are a very good General manager
we love the stinking Rose !
We will be back for sure !
If you love garlic you will live this place. Note for groups they do not normally split checks but will run multiple cards. So be prepared to have someone figure out the bill for each person and bring cash for easier payment. Valet starts at 4pm and the parking lot is free until then. Try the garlic ice cream it's nice and sweet. They have non garlic items for vampires but everything there is good.
