Best Restaurants for People Watching in Hollywood

Totally packed on a Friday night, had to lean across the table to hear each other. Our server suggested we order 5 starters and two entrees for the 3 of us which felt like upselling. We got 3 starters and 2 skewers and the 2nd skewer was more than we needed. The menu prices are, like all restaurants in LA since the pandemic, dizzyingly, insanely high. Of the starters, the celery root was exceptional. The two skewers were delicious but, at the end of the day, they are undressed flame-cooked meat. We can make that at home. It seems Saffy's will be fine without us.

James, or server was outstanding — he explained the options (gave us recommendations) and was attentive without being overbearing. The food was excellent and the pace comfortable to allow us to visit with friends we hadn’t seen for awhile.

Magnificent service. Some of the best. The Yule log—sublime! The pigs in a blanket—imagine what that might be like with a master pastry chef! Shrimp cocktail—how often is it merely passable? Here it is of a uniformly exquisite tenderness. I want to say again, the SERVICE. This place is an industry standard but is generally underrated. Visit it again.

Madison was an amazing host. Her customer service and hospitality was top tier! Manager was also very kind enough to make accommodations for my autistic son. All servers were great as well but Madison’s kindness stood out the most. The food and drinks were also very good. I had a French 75 for the first time and it was enjoyable. I don’t usually drink gin because of the taste, but you can barely taste it.

You can never go wrong with a Steak 48 dinner , as a repeat customer my expectations are always high because just when you think the last time was top tier they out do themselves , this was my sister birthday dinner and it was nothing less of amazing , the Server was very professional and on point , but even when he got busy with other guests the rest of the team came through , they was always someone in the corner ready to make out dinning experience amazing , the food amazing is an understatement most of the party had steak ( Petit filet , ny strip ) while others had Salmon , everything was well cooked to personal preference , the side which we all shared where just enough for 6guests , might I add we where personally served which made the experience even more personal , overall the experience was a 10/10 .👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
