I was invited here for the opening night of the restaurant with Michael himself however have not been back since that day years ago as Glendale is not my local hangout. That said, the most recent dinner was worth the distance through the SFV for an excellent dinner and to mark a special occasion. For ease of reading, I'll break things down as follows:
THE 'GOOD':
*I ordered the fish as I don't eat meat, shellfish and most definitely don't eat pork. The Branzino was EXCELLENT and perhaps the best I've ever had. The 12 oz fillet was very meaty and fresh and flavorful. I liked how they served it with the skin on top (and head removed) - although I don't eat fish skin, I did like how the sauces were soaking in the fish itself rather than to the skin like most places when they serve Branzino filleted with the skin down.
*The sides were incredible including a special shout-out to the Brussels Sprouts, Broccolini and Mac & Cheese. Now I wonder if they were actually vegetarian friendly.
*The bread and butter were memorable which is odd as bread typically isn't however both were filled with extreme flavor and quite yummy.
THE 'COULD USE IMPROVEMENT':
* It's an expensive restaurant (figure an easy $300 for two of you to dine here with normal courses, one glass of wine and no dessert). I, therefore, expect service to be TOP NOTCH and perhaps the best in the business however I, unfortunately, didn't experience that in my last visit for dinner. As stated above, I have food restrictions that are not difficult to manage and although the server did take the time at the start to inquire about those, there was really poor follow-through which is a problem. In an example, when they brought the fries which is complimentary at the start of your meal, I had to question twice about what they're fried in - which wound up being duck fat (um, ok?!) which is a definite no no for me. I'm used to servers taking ownership and informing me knowing my restrictions on what I should avoid eating - in this case, that didn't happen so why even bother asking if I have any restrictions.
*On a similar note, the chef uses too much animal-based fats and oils here for flavoring and therefore I would not qualify this as a vegetarian-friendly restaurant - they need to do better on that front especially in LA. (ie marking menus, better-informing servers, etc)
*My last experience had no flow to the dinner. The server went absent for a lengthy period, new floor staff approached the table with each serving (which doesn't help with information and consistency) and our bread and butter had to be requested three times, the courses came out of order at the start - overall it was too messy for a price point this high. The individuals apologized for the experience flow - one even responded that he was new and didn't know the answers although he did a great job by flagging for our (mostly absent) server to come and explain the steak sauces for my friend.
Would I return again? Yes, simply because I know Michael strives for excellence and this was perhaps just an off night during a weeknight AND the Branzino was really soooo good. Otherwise, I would prefer if they stopped down to work on training again with the staff.
