Horses - Los Angeles

WOULD GO BACK IN A HEARTBEAT! You really do have to appreciate the whole vibe of this restaurant. It 's versatile, warm, fun, and enticing. I really appreciated the staff and their professionalism hospitality. If you don 't order the Cesar salad, then you didn 't really go to Horses in my opinion. Why is it not pictured? Yes, because I inhaled it. My Sazerac was well made, and I ordered their current take on a Vesper and enjoyed it very much. The burger was pretty good. I don 't regret ordering it one bit; just happen to be more of a smash burger guy. The dessert... goodness... the cheesecake with the pear w o w it was the right way to finish off my visit.

Arrived early for our reservation so we were welcomed to get a drink at the bar. The drinks were pretty good. The mezcal margarita was refreshing. In my opinion, the food was overrated. The cheeseburger in particular is not hype worthy, so I’m not sure why it gets so much praise. Wasn’t a fan of the raw onions and did not taste the caramelized onions. The generous serving of herbed fries on the side was good, but leaned salty. The steak tartare was so mid as well, not at all standout in any way. Wasn’t able to try the endive Caesar salad, nor the off menu pasta. If I ever go back, I’d give those a shot. But honestly, I’m not rushing to go back. Wouldn’t recommend it as a must go to restaurant.

Genuinely one of the best meals I've had in a long while. Horses is phenomenal and if you love a place that has great atmosphere, I recommend and DEMAND you go at least once to experience it. Order any crudo they have going on, the brown butter amber jack is life changing. Definitely order their signature endive caeser AND the burger. If the sungold pizza is in season GET IT. THE SWEETBREADS ARE A MUST (they are a little salty so fair warning). Honestly food would have been 5 stars, but unfortunately whatever abomination happened with the steak tartare made them go down to a 4 for that. IT WAS ABYSMAL, genuinely almost ruined my night. It's not your average tartare, the meat is not finely diced, but almost ground and gives off raw burger meat vibes. There was no acid, barely any salt and it genuinely made me feel sick. Thankfully we all only had a bite of it and moved on to better things, but holy wow... i don't think I'll be having a tartare for a while until that abomination of a dish leaves my memory forever. Service was okay, honestly our server had an easy section as we were outside and not in the busy area inside. They were pretty average, polite enough, but not welcoming and honestly didn't perk up until it was time to tip. We didn't even send the tartare back because it felt like they didn't care and seeing the full plate didn't even phase them. The host was great, super welcoming and just positive energy overall. I genuinely love horses. It's a great spot and worth it for any and all occasions! JUST DON'T GET THE TARTARE!

Best meal ever! The chef is a master of the charr ; The entire staff made my birthday sooooo special and even sang to me

Literally too dark to take good pictures inside this is what you get Caesar salad the best salad I’ve had in a long time. Served with endives and a very delicious dressing. Gotta get this!! Tartare loved this!! super savory and well seasoned beef. Loved how it paired with the super crispy bread Potato pizza like the crust! Unique Brussels sprouts fine Steak perfectly cooked to me Trout fillet too fishy for me personally but good texture Umeshu spritz super light and refreshing def rec Overall: I think the starters were better than the mains. The fish and steak were good but weren’t anything super unique. The atmosphere is very moody and more casual than other similar restaurants. Bucket list restaurant def checked off!
