Short Stories Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I came for brunch on Mother’s Day and was honestly astonished by how nonchalant and unprofessional the service was. From the moment we arrived, it felt like the staff had no sense of urgency or care for the guest experience.

I ordered French toast, which came out extremely soggy and completely drenched in syrup. I told the waiter it looked like it had been pounded in the middle and asked if I could get a new one. After about 10 minutes, he brought what appeared to be the exact same toast. When I asked if it was the same one, he admitted he had just put it back on the pan.

I politely asked for a fresh French toast with the syrup on the side. He later returned to say that “this is how the chef makes it,” and if I wanted the syrup on the side, I’d need to wait another 20 minutes. At that point, I decided to cancel my order altogether.

Fresh, imaginative food in a beautiful courtyard. Great service. Fun cocktails. All around a perfect Friday night dinner. Fun enough for groups and romantic for couples.

Featuring the most succulent mushrooms and truffle oil. Loved that they used quinoa to reduce the hit to my waistline… Blue mussels - wow

I hope they add some dessert options. Easy to reserve on OpenTable. I ubered but my friend found street parking closer toward the farmers...

To start of with the positives: nice ambiance, delicious drinks, and nice staff.

The bad:

1. slow service: it took them about 45 minutes to bring out the drinks and appetizers.
2. food is not as described : we ordered the salad which in the description had beets and feta cheese but as you can see it was just romaine and tomatoes and 2 radishes.
3. The servers took awake my drink while I was still working on it so swiftly I didn’t even have a chance to say I was working on it.
4. barely any parking and a whopping $15 for valet.

All in all, I felt hungry walking out and upset by the service so I will not be...
