I read lots of great reviews for the lunch and happy hour times but we were there for dinner. I do not recommend taking kids here; it's trendy and loud. Our son is a picky eater so we had to load him up with a pretzel before our table was ready. By the way, they notify you via text when... More

This place is busy and for a reason. The food is excellent, very fresh and well prepared. The Brussels sprout salad a delight. We had our meal outside which was nice. The only downside is the wait times snd service is hit and miss. Our main server was nice but some of the other staff were abrupt.

Without doing research we walked into this place and noticed the great menu and 'buzz' of the place. The meal did not disappoint and neither did the atmosphere. 4 of us went for dinner and got a variety of dishes to share - everything was tasty and high quality. We also went during happy hour which was great. The meal... More

Very nice bar, full of nice people. The bar looks fantastic and its really worth to go inside and have a sneak look. The food is very modern, and the drinks are cheap. I really recommend this place as one of my recent favorites.

The service was friendly, professional and efficient. The menu was varied - shoe string potatoes, parsnips. Ahi burger, kale salad etc. great beer. Everything you want in a fun reasonably priced night out

On a recent trip to California, my husband and I came across this restaurant on a recommendation from hotel staff, and we couldn't have been happier with the recommendation! We both have dietary restrictions (meat and gluten) and The Misfit was a fantastic restaurant for both of us. Many vegetarian and seafood options available, and the food all came with... More

Misfits has a fabulous happy hour. $5 well, wine and speciality cocktails. And their wells are of good quality. They have Tito's vodka from TX which is one of my favorites. And happy hour goes almost all day. I'm visiting the LA area on business. Today I played hooky and enjoyed their happy hour at 1pm. The food is quite... More

Fabulous dinner and drinks. If you like brussel sprouts, you'll love them here! The mischief beer was also great. Very cool atmosphere for dinner, drinks or both!

My friend and I visited this restaurant in early March. The waitress was a little sharp with us but that aside, it is a pretty cool place. I urge anybody eating here to order the Mac and cheese. The cheese was so stringy it took me about half an hour to prepare a mouthful on my fork. I love that!... More

We loved this restaurant. Our friend who lives in the area suggested it. The wait would have been a while but we sat outside which was fine with us. Our waitress was wonderful. She explained the menu and made really great suggestions. She was very knowledgable about the food and drink menu. Our favorite plates were the bacon wrapped dates,... More
