The room
1The room is small and bare, with a minimalist interior that gives most of the space to an open kitchen. The Michelin Guide notes that the interior keeps attention on the food, where each plate is a complex composition of flavors. The Los Angeles Times found the tables consistently full during lunch, with a line trailing out the door in the early afternoon. Eater LA describes the place as esoteric and thoughtful, though more approachable in both price point and cuisine.
