excellent

by jamiecostanzo

My mother and i went during the day to have a quick bite to eat. the service was excellent, and the food was even better. I had the BBQ chicken sandwhich and my mom had the pan seared salmon. To make the experience even more enjoyable, our waitress was very accomodating.

Chilled at lunch time, hot at night time!!

by WSD74

This place is really cool. Good menu, rocking desserts and good vibe. Good value and they have special Monday and Tuesday night bargains - i think they have a special 50% off wines or something. DEF reccommend this place.

Understated but great atmosphere and service. Virgin Atlantic says it is a Top 20 Eaterie in LA!!

by ECS76

Well. Citizen Smith is very chilled, quite understated but is a great place for a date. Pre going out cocktails at the bar works too. In the evening it is candle lit and has a lovely vibe. I heard about it when i flew Virgin Atlantic. It is listed in their Top 20 places to go to eat in LA .... and i agree! Remember to book incase you have to queue ....

• Pros: Decor. Desserts. Drinks
• Cons: Um.... Can't think of any!!

Great spot for lunch, a far superior alternative to the fast food franchises and pizza joints surrounding it

by LynneYoung

A really beautiful location in what was once the rundown part of town. I had the ahi tuna salad and thought it was as good as any I had ever had, really fresh fish and not too drowned in dressing, altogether a great healthy lunch. The restaurant itself is far more glamorous than the run down buildings surrounding it would imply and being there made me think I was somewhere much more exotic than Hollywood. Reasonably priced for such good food in such an attractive setting.

Great food, hip atmosphere

by CSquelch

I would like to give this place 4 1/2 stars as I like it a lot. A lot of things are great about it and rather than go on about those things I'll touch on what I'm not thrilled about. I felt the lighting was a little dim and the music a bit low. The menu seems to lack a real identity which I kind of like because it gives you a variety but there is definitely no central local or theme to it. The service is good. All in all a really good, casual eating experience that I would highly recommend.

Great dinner date spot

by hwoodpopart

I love this place. The food the ambiance the staff. Everything about my experience here was amazing. I was skeptical to come as I don't travel to Hollywood a lot but once i walked into this place I felt like I was in a whole different city. The cow hides on the walls, the big gaudy chandeliers and the rustic metals surrounded by brick walls. This whole place looked like something from the midwest meets NY.

The food was great as well and I highly recommend the jalepeno mac and cheese along with the tower of onion rings to start. Then move to the steak or salmon for the main course depending on how your feeling. The food came on time and there was a friendly staff to help. and the selection of wine was just what i needed to satisfy my date and I. And to top the night off don't forget the brownie desert. YUMMY!!!

Do come and check out this place and I promise you wont be disappointed.

• Pros: food
• Cons: price

Really fun experience

by Greulsd

I was here recently for a party, and the layout of the place was awesome. There's a full back patio that opens up and you can fit quite a few people back there. Anyway, the food was really what made it worth it. It's a little expensive so I wasn't able to try all the wines they offer, and I didn't get the filet (i'm big fan of filet) but I did get the mac and cheese (As was suggested on here) and salmon. The salmon came on a plate with mashed potatoes, presented pretty nicely. I had that a blackberry mojito. If you haven't had one of those, get one. It's a flavor explosion in your mouth. Other people I was with got chicken fingers and sliders (these aren't the typical White Castle sliders) which I didn't get a chance to taste, but they seemed to enjoy it. The only other dish I had a bite of was the Summer Salad. Strawberries, Goat Cheese, Spinach and Almonds. It has kind of a sweet taste to it, and I'm not a big salad person either.

I don't know what else to say that hasn't been said about the atmosphere. It's unique and one of a kind even in Los Angeles. I'm really surprised more people don't talk about this place.

The worst part of the experience, other than the bill, (so I sound cheap? Cause I am) was that it was a little TOO dark. I had to use the candle to read my menu. I don't know if it was where I was sitting or if it's like that through out the place every night. Lots of candles in here.

All in all, if you want to go out for a nice meal, this is as good a place as any for an upscale dining experience. I will come back.

• Pros: Just a fun dining experience

Love It

by BradleyWilson

Finally went back after six months... It's the kind of place you forget how much you like it until you go back. I would have given it a five but the apps were fast and the food was a bit slow. No biggie, 20 minutes or so - the server (hot little brunette) told me their was a new chef in training, so whatever. I LOVE the citris shrimp! Maybe a bit slow but I thought the food was actually better than the last 2 times I went.

• Pros: ambiance
• Cons: trafficon fri or sat
