I have been really sick for years and haven’t been out in almost two years. So finding a restaurant to celebrate Christmas Eve for the first time in a while was pretty important to me. Once I saw the pictures of Arden on OpenTable I knew I just had to go there. Obviously, the food and service had to considered to. After a deep dive of photos, reviews, and reading their Christmas Eve pri fix meal options, it was settled. We were going to Arden! Making a reservation and special seating requests was so easy. They also are one of the few newer restaurants that actually answer their phone. I was running a few minutes late and they were really accommodating. The valet was cheaper than taking a ride share service and the gentleman was so polite. Walking up to the entrance was gorgeous. It just kept getting more and more beautiful as we ascended the steps and made it to the restaurant floor. Luckily, they also are very wheelchair/handicapable! I normally am in a wheelchair and would have easily just ramped up to their wheelchair elevator and been let out on the main floor. Once we made it up to the floor we were immediately greeted by a very kind employee who assisted in helping us find the perfect table for my needs. Water and my requested coke almost immediately showed up at the table! Our waitress, Mika, just made out night. She was extremely informed about every dish listed in each category on the menu. Food arrived promptly, hot, and with a smile. I needed a slight change to the dish I really wanted. And even though there were no substitutions, she came up with a great idea and made it happen for me so I could enjoy my meal. Mika had a fabulous disposition, was funny and kind, and was available/checked in the perfect intervals. Plenty of service without being smothered. We never felt rushed, even though they were busy. She kept my water and coke filled without asking, helped us adjust the heat when needed while keeping other customers comfortable, and was jus

This restaurant has been and continues to be a hidden jewel. The food, the service and ambiance is totally lovely and now they have opened a back patio. Time for me to plan a party back there for perhaps 30 friends and/or family members! Cannot wait to see how their brunch idea unfolds.

The waitstaff are friendly and helpful. The menu is varied and creative. The ambience is warm and welcoming and the food is delicious. For a good time, go to WEHO Bistro.

Lovely setting and really appreciated seating request at window. Glad we were away from lively (ie noisy) bar area. Food was very good and I loved the anchovies I asked to be added to the excellent Caesar salad. Service was attentive after a bit of a slow start. Good choice for special occasions or to treat visitors to a historical venue.
