"The staff at Descanso Gardens Restaurant are attentive and kind, but the management definitely needs improvement. This review is based on my visit on April 14, 2019, when I celebrated my birthday, though I've encountered similar problems on other visits. Despite having a reservation for two on a Sunday, we waited 30 minutes for our table. When I reserve, I expect the table to be ready, but we waited just as long as walk-ins. To make things worse, it took over 20 minutes to get our check. Our server, Jamie, was incredibly sweet but was overwhelmed by a rude and demanding group, doing her best to keep up. These issues seem to lie with management rather than the staff. The food was decent, maybe even good, but the overall experience was disappointing and left a poor impression. As a Descanso member, I don’t plan to return anytime soon."
