Blacksmiths - Los Angeles

Visited for a team dinner. It is a nice restaurant with some very nice delicacies. The presentation of each and every entree was beautiful. Most of the team members enjoyed their food. Only thing we didn't like was lack of vegetarian items on the menu. Most of the items included either bacon or alchohol, which made them very delicious, but few team members had limited options who didn't like to have bacon or alchohol. Ambience is very artistic and welcoming. Great bar. Loved it.

3.5 Stars...It is an improvement over the previous restaurant at this location, The Must, but I'm not overly impressed by it. Our order is as follows: 1) Heirloom Tomato Salad decent salad but nothing compared to the Heirloom tomato salad at Akasha in Culver 2) Grilled Octopus Best dish of the night but the purple accents had little to not flavor 3) Ravioli decent enough ravioli, but nothing noteworthy 4) BBQ Ribs enjoyable ribs, but pretty standard issue. The fries accompanying the ribs were excellent. Pros: The design of the restaurant is A+ and it has a energetic vibe. Cons: The food, overall, wasn't noteworthy.

Very delicious food, very well cooked. parking is not a problem because there is a lot next door.

The hash-browns were so oily and muddy from the oil in which they drowned it and the speck was 95% fat. the rührei was the best at the whole meal. the waitress was a bit cold and just gave us the bill while we eat without a statement, then back while we still ask if we paid them. I think she ended her shift, which is completely understandable when she just said that.

This place is perfect. From the ambiance, to the food, the drinks and even the parking set up. There are two structures literally right next to the restaurant. One is an open lot and the other is a structure. Both under 400 feet from the restaurant. If you’re an LA native you know this plays a big role in whether or not you actually go somewhere. “Never say die” is hands down the best bourbon drink I’ve had. My boyfriend got the **** Mary and that was yummy too. Overall their drink menu was impressive. The table ordered the Brie pancakes, short rib Benedict, chilaquiles, chorizo hash, and french toast. I would order each one of those things again. My favorite was the short rib and chorizo harsh. The service was great. From the host to the waitress to the bar tender. I would absolutely recommend this olde.
