3rd Base LA — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I went to 3rd base on a weekend afternoon. It's conveniently located 5 minutes down the street from Hollywood Blvd. I was grateful that there wasn't a wait so we were able to be seated right away. We went at 4pm and were told that we'd only be able to booth until 6pm. I assume it must turn into a party/club scene in the evening but that was fine because we only wanted to get a quick bite and keep exploring the area.

We waited about 10-15 minutes before we were even greeted by our waitress. We were told she apparently was still on break and hadn't seen us. Which I honestly wouldn't completely blame her, it must've been a lack of communication between her and the host + hostess but still it was annoying. We were literally seated right in front of the hostess table so to me common sense is if you don't at least see water on the table (of customers you just sat) perhaps you should check up on the customers.

When we finally did get service 15 minutes later we were able to place our food order. I ordered the waffle fries, Buffalo sliders and mango habanero wings and my bf ordered the Philly cheesesteaks sliders. My food came out pretty fast but another slip up unfortunately.. they didn't bring out the Philly sliders. We had to reorder and eventually all of our food came out. Overall the food was pretty good, so no complaints there. It was more so the lack of service at this restaurant.

This is definitely a party kind of atmosphere, a nice looking venue with loud music and a pretty nice looking cocktail menu. It's seems like a fun place to go with a group of friends but not exactly a place...

Went back and forth about whether or not to write this review.

I sat at the bar with a date, and the bartender seriously never approached us. We watched him walk around the bar numerous times, and each time we would get passed by or told he'd be right with us. When he did come over, and said "oh sorry about that". We eventually got our drinks, but before we could ask for a menu, he walked away with the credit card. I then noticed our drinks came in plastic cups, while everyone else at the bar was drinking out of glass. (This is important later on). I thought this was weird, and very disappointing.

A barback walked by, and although he was kind enough to hand us menus, he handed us happy hour and dinner menus that weren't available during the labor holiday. When we were able to flag down the bartender to ask, he rolled his eyes, asked where we got it, replaced it and left us again. We would have ordered food, but I felt like we should take our business elsewhere.

As we were walking out, I turned to look at the clientele on the other side of the bar, and I noticed one other person had a plastic cup, and that was a black man. I didn't mention, but I was on a date with a black man. I really hate to say it, and you can read other reviews I've written, but I've never experienced that before, and I hope the restaurant takes a good look at how their staff interact with their guests, and I would recommend you take your business elsewhere, just to be on...

First off, making it clear.. great food. But service is not great at all. First time there, they don't seat you. Yes, they walk you to the bar. But I didn't ask for the bar. I asked to be seated away from the bar. Host did hear me, but did he care (No). Also the bar was crowded. Also the place that was busy. So manager or owner see this post and says I'm sorry we were busy. No, only at the bar was crowded!! He clearly saw that. But I waited by the bar. Waiter saw me. He asked wanted to be seated. Told him what happen. He apologized. He sat me next Trejo tacos. Mine you again, no one was around. Tv was on. Wanted to watch the usc game. I asked the host or bouncer who was right behind me. Also drinking not water. But a pink drink? I asked can you change the game. He said ya, he went in. But came back right out. He said cant find the person who changes the TV? Waitress came around 10 mins later.i ordered simple stella and Flatbread. Food was great. But I asked her about the tv. Was it change? No... again. I was the only person in that area. Well I rate this place a 3. Only food was great. Service overall.. not so great. Service counts the most. So if owner or manager.. im sorry you need to have more communication with the staff. Also, again the bar was the place that was crowded. You had enough waiters and waitress to cover all...
