Waterloo and City


A new restaurant in Mar Vista! YEA!
So glad to FINALLY see this place open in our wasteland of a neighborhood- we are dying for food places- open more!
I loved this place except for the decor and HUGE stop sign in the parking lot( that I had to look at during dinner as it was facing me)very strange.
The decor is old-fashioned with grandma wallpaper and bad lighting.
BUT aside from these minor issues the place was excellent.
The bad reviews must have been on opening night or their first week when most places don't have the kinks ironed out yet. The service was great, friendly and professional- the food was very very good from the homemade bread to the expertly prepared entrees - everything we had was done beautifully, nothing over-cooked and very healthy portions but not grossly overdone. I say it is one of the better meals I have had, especially for this neighborhood. Most of the places around are either waaaay dated or over-priced precious trendy food.
This place has honest good food with a few trendy twists but they work. I will be back for more.
Oh- they also have a nice bar, YEAH! Finally a bar in the hood that is for adults not just twenty somethings.
Thank you!
