It's off the beaten track and not the easiest to find, but once you get there it's completely worth it. The food is impeccable, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is amazing. I cannot for the life of me understand maybell's one star either. I had a glass of Pegase Merlot, and the pour was perfect. The only thing I can think of is that maybe maybell is not a normal wine drinker and therefore doesn't know that a wine glass shouldn't be filled to the brim. Not only does this place exude taste, style, and excellence, it's overall charm is something everyone should experience. But don't take my word for it -- go see for yourself!
Pros: Everything
Cons: hard to find

I am pretty excited about this place, being in the neighborhood for a few years. It's exactly what the gentrified south-of-silverlake area needs, and here's why.. It's quite possibly the funkiest bar you can find in L.A. without being pretentious, has great tap beer and a full bar and it feeds people with really good food. It was a german german place and was hardly open most the time until the new owner came in. The lodgey, almost gothic interior is strange and intimate at the same time. There are a bunch or beers on draught (mirror pond being my favorite) and a menu that is very ambitious and delicious. I have not been let down by anything on this menu. Seriously, I cannot understand the review with one star. It's a tapas-style menu, but larger portions than other tapas places. Get the tomato stuffed with mac & cheese and the garlic shrimp to start and then treat yourself to the pork chop. Or the kobe burger. and the steaks have an excellent flame touch taste. Awesome all around. My only criticism is the music: the predictable pop-funk-dance-r&b lazy dj mix that is tedious, annoying and gets really loud on the weekend. A much better idea would be new alt-dance stuff. Or new alt-rock.(think ting-tings, vampire weekend, she wants revenge, etc). They will lose me and many more if i hear justin timberlake mashups once too often. Better, smarter music would put this place on the map. And I understand it's being built out to have an event space in back. I can't wait.
Pros: eclectic, chill, almost gothiic lounge feel. friendly staff. draught beer and great food.
Cons: when the dj 's take over, it's over. music is awful.
