The Thanksgiving menu at Cavatina today was outstanding. I had the turkey and my husband the short ribs and both were absolutely delicious along with the side dishes and desserts. Our server David was excellent and took great care of us. Thanks for making our Thanksgiving very special!

Yet again, Tar and Roses does not disappoint. From the service to the food to the mock tails everything was wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. We were celebrating my daughters 20th birthday and they brought us delicious desserts. I think I would be happy if I could eat here every night, thank you Tar and Roses for another wonderful evening

Great service, food was awesome, tasty and no lagging bringing the meat around. All of the servers were friendly & courteous. Mgmt came around to check on us and asked if we needed anything. They were super friendly as well. The salad bar area had great salads and offerings. There was just enough to offer and not as elaborate as some others. That’s ok because we were there for the churrasacaria! Highly recommend this location. We had a better experience compared to DTLA location.

Great pick after visiting the Enchanted Forest of Lights at Descanso Gardens. Friendly, knowledgeable service able to help our 'wine guy' get the flavors he was seeking. We (4) selected a few tapas and an entree, decided we needed one more dish and everyone enjoyed all the variety and felt they had enough to eat. Food came out with relaxed spacing. Even on a drizzly night the covered patio with heat lamps was comfortable.

OMG those yogurt brunch biscuits with whipped tahini and jam! Heavenly! We also had the Shakshuka, a Grain Bowl and blissfully topped it off with Pavlova (for those new to this traditional Australian confection, imagine a fluffy cloud fell in love with fresh fruit and cream) Perfection!

The food for Thanksgiving was very good and the quantity of food was also good. The only negative was I couldn’t find the front door where valet parking was because my navigation took me to the rear door

The food was really outstanding, and the service was very, very good. The room is noisy and it was made worse by some of the music choices and the volume of the music. The lighting at night time is not ideal for a restaurant offering this quality of food. It would be nicer to enjoy the food and the service in an environment where you don't have to yell at each other. The acoustics of the room is difficult, so maybe it would be wise to tone things down a little bit.
