Went for dineLA Restaurant Week.

A for Effort.
F for complete failure in service.
B for food because everything was so oversalted.

They brought out an amuse, very nice effort for restaurant week. What was it—IIRC, a tiny bit of soba and something, and a tiny shot of broth to pour over it.

I ordered:
1. Braised Pork Belly – Cranberry Beans, Mussels, Tomato, Broth. Was it really necessary to add a lot of salt to pork belly? If I could have removed the salt, the dish would have been delicious.
2. Seared Barramundi – Jerusalem Artichoke, Cipollini Onions, Chorizo, Shrimp. Barramundi was cooked to perfection. So moist and delicious. The rest, well, again with all the salt. Maybe they even salted the chorizo.
3. Chocolate Bread Pudding – Chocolate Sauce, Vanilla Ice Cream. I enjoyed this very much. Couldn’t detect salt! The bread pudding was pretty light even though it looked so rich.

The food would have been an A but for the very heavy hand with the salt.

Service. The waitress was cold and perfunctory. We paid with cash. She never came back with our change. We actually had to ask for it. It turns out she had just assumed that the rest was her tip. Excuse me? She never asked if we needed change back. Every server asks or just brings it back! The audacity of her to assume we were giving her a high range tip, when she wasn’t very good to begin with. Blunderingly unprofessional.
