Black Market Liquor Bar Studio City Restaurant Brunch Dinner Dine-in Or Outdoor Dining Outdoor Drinking

We went on Saturday as this place was in my list of restaurants to visit it looked in pics very nice inside, the bar area, ceiling and fans are very cool, but that 's it. The menu for was ok with lack of variety in the main plates so we only ordered some plates to share. The spicy Korean wings were delicious, the shrimp with aioli were not my favorite way too seasoned and the aioli didn 't really go with the dish, it would have been better to have a lighter dressing or just a lemon. Mussels were a disappointment, the sauce was way too greasy and heavy (usually we enjoy mussels and dip the bread in the sauce, well this was not the case, we both hated it) Service was bad and slow, we were waiting for our drinks and there was a bartender absolutely enjoying il dolce far niente , only one guy was really doing his job. Maybe our waiter forgot our order, don 't know. We had to wait between dishes when we ordered 3 small dishes to share, they didn 't bring a clean plate after the messy but delicious K-wings, had to ask for clean silverware, didn 't take the empty glasses on our table. The Strawberry cocktail was really good(red hot and unbothered), we ordered 2. The ginger cocktail (son of a beesting) -not my favorite- but the ginger candy was really good. Martini was good just as ordered(dirty and extra dry), no martini glasses but in a small glass that when my husband moved it to drink it got spilled on the table).The sticky toffee pudding was good. Bill for 3 plates to share, 3 cocktails and dessert $139. My reviews are always based on price, service, food and place/vibe. Won 't come back.

I was disappointingly surprised. The menu looks great, but the execution is not there. We spent more than $100 without drinks and left hunger. And the food was fine. Not terrible, but definitely not worth the cost. We ordered the short rib hash, which was $35 and it was tiny, plus was no hash, it was short rib on the top of the potatoes. We also ordered the chickens and waffles (which has a 25-minute lead time) and what arrived was a whole Cornish game Henne, which was fried like a softshell basket. I'll love the physical space. I'm sure it's great for expensive drinks.

Good food and drinks. I love the environment and I am a frequent visitor. I just had a complaint. There were many clean and empty tables (including our table) and they had waited outside to sit for about 30 minutes. You? not the only restaurant I? ve seen do this. I don't see any explanation, but maybe there was a staff/server shortage? Other than that, once we sat, food drinks and service were all excellent. I subtracted 3 stars above all because of the experience of entering. It can be a mood killer.

I was here for Brunch on a weekend and it was amazing! The food was delicious, and our group really enjoyed ordering and sharing several things, so we all have to try more of the menu. The cocktails were also beautiful and unique. Our server was cheerful and attentive, and gave us time to try every court before the next came out so that we did not overwhelm with all courts at once. In addition, the vaulted ceiling and the general decor was cozy and stylish. One of the best places I tried in LA!

I love this place. As soon as you go into you, fall in love with the place from the brick top to the shelf of the alcohol on the two table with candlelight. This place is amazing for every occasion. The food is amazing, nothing I tried was a waste. Drinks from this world. The crew renew how you feel welcome. Absolutely come back.
