great food, great happy hour (the home made potato chips are worth the trip alone). highly recommended. More

MacArthur Park was very good 20+ years ago. My last visit resulted in sitting for 30+ minutes before an order was taken and there was ALMOST NO ONE ELSE IN THE RESTAURANT. How does that work? Poor management, poor training, lack of employee interest. The food came 35 minutes after it was ordered and it was totally mediocre. I remember... More

I guess everything changes, but MacArthur Park had been so good for so long that I just didn't believe the very mixed reviews. Well I should have. Frankly, I don't know what changed here? New owner? New Chef? Old formula just working too well? What was once a rich and varied menu has been reduced to little more than 4... More

I had purchased a Bloomspot $60 worth of food for $30. We'd wanted to try MacArthur Park for quite some time, so this purchase ensured we would do so soon. The menu was varied and I quickly found my selection - lamb skewers. Unfortunately, our server informed us that the last order had been filled. Our reservations were for 5... More

You know, I love this place so it is hard to rate this so low. However, a recent experience there has completely changed my opinion of this place and caused them to lose my business. I was meeting a friend for some appetizers and drinks around 3pm one day, and we picked MacArthur Park. I arrived first and a little... More

Eat here with a colleague. Very nice food and a good atmosphere. Rounded off the evening with a good selection of scotches. Would definitely return. More
