Messhall Kitchen - Los Angeles

The food here has never been great, but it's really gone downhill.

Our server was wonderful. As a writer on strike I really appreciated the discount.

I’ve been here half a dozen times. The food is good and the menu options are plentiful. The vibe is great and I love the music they play. Service always starts out great and then somewhere in the middle it drops. Every single time. I’ve had different servers who are pleasant, but the follow through needs some work. The bar makes a good drink, but they are slow. When you order your first drink get another one immediately. I have had to wait for a second and third drink ridiculously long periods of time. So much so that I had to send my husband to the bar to see if the order had been put in when server was nowhere to be found. I came in recently and had dinner and cocktails with my husband. I ordered 3 g&t’s with a little simple syrup, mint and cucumber garnish. Each drink that came the glass was smaller and smaller. I had to line 3 glasses of varying sizes to show the server before we left, to which he said the bar is busy. Maybe so, but what does that have to do with the size of the glass? And I had to wait a long time in between cocktails. Not okay. I’m out for the night before going to the Greek. I am ready to have a good time. This put a damper on the vibe I was going for. I am seeing more and more inconsistencies every time I come. I got the tuna tartare and the tuna to avocado ratio was way off. There was the thinnest topping of tuna that was gone in a few bites. If I wanted Guacamole and chips only, I would have ordered it. I want to like this place, but after the most recent trip, I’m not feeling the love.

The food is excellent. The burger was one of the best I've had and my wife's pulled pork sandwich was bigger than the picture suggests. The service was impeccable, especially considering we were heading to a concert at the Greek.

Luisa our server was amazing! The fried chicken sando did not live up to the hype but the pork belly cups were fantastic.
