In Short – Located in the former Little J's club space--a past fave of Stevie Wonder and Janet Jackson--this sprawling 25,000- square-foot venue includes an upscale casual restaurant, sexy lounge with a 30-foot bar and DJs music, sprawling patio with fire pit, cigar smoking section, VIP cabanas and L.A. skyline views. Chef Ryan McKay's (ex-L'Orangerie) menu features traditional American comfort fare, such as fried crab cakes, ahi tartare, grilled rib-eye steak, fish of the day and braised short ribs.

Not bad...
by JonSoleymani at Citysearch
Not a bad place, but they did screw up our reservation. We had a party of 30 for drinks, and they completely screwed it up, suddenly charging people.
They ended up fixing it by refunding our money, giving us a larger reserved section, and comping us a bottle of champagne.
Fun place, worth going to and trying it out.
- Pros: HUGE area, good music
- Cons: Management

Nice Lounge area.
by v735 at Citysearch
Nice lounge/patio club indoors modern and well serviced.
It felt like more of an Asian atmosphere (did not mind it) for those who are looking for that type of community and spot.
overall i think it was nice and i had a great time.
- Pros: Great music
- Cons: Admission fee/ Drinks are high
