"After securing a same day Llama Inn reservation, four of us excitedly walked into a vibrant atmosphere on a Saturday night and were seated in a row at a window counter. Unfortunately, I left largely disappointed. The beef heart appetizer was the first and ultimately my favorite item of the entire meal. Flavorful and tender, one order two skewers is perfect for two people to share. The Tuna and Scallop ceviche appetizers were decent, although much of the juices went to waste I would encourage the restaurant to present small bowls to the patrons ordering ceviche, so that the broth does not have to be awkwardly enjoyed directly from the communal plate.What brought the entire experience down was the Wagyu Saltado, their signature dish. First, this was extremely salty. When I say this, I do not mean bringing out the flavor salty I mean that it is overwhelmingly salty to the point where it is difficult to enjoy. Also, the amount of meat per person was barely more than the amount of meat per person from the previously mentioned skewers. Yes, the dish was served with lots of filler: rice, fries, guac, and unlimited scallion pancakes the latter of which was tasty , but to give so little meat and charge $160 !!! is absolutely absurd and a pure ripoff.We ordered the olive oil cake with banana ice cream for desert the ice cream itself was great, but the olive oil cake also was outrageously salty.I have no complaints about the service and staff, but the combination of exorbitant prices and underwhelming quality simply cannot justify a higher rating."

"A really delicious dinner, although not as good as the original location in northwest Santa Monica near the PCH. That location being Giorgio Baldi. This is the Beverly Hills and smaller location. Tonight was a very tasty dinner, although for the price I would recommend going to their original location in Santa Monica. Tonight I started with the Beef Carpaccio, which was very good, although not as good as the other location. For my entrée, I chose the Veal Tortellini in Veal Broth, and it was actually very good, albeit a small portion.The Positives: the food quality and the taste are top-notch. They also have a lot of great options on the menu and our server, as well as rest of the staff we encountered, we're all very polite. I also really like the atmosphere of this place, it's classy and casual at the same time.The Negatives: it is overly pricey, I am sure due to the cost of the rent being in this part of Beverly Hills. Each of the dishes could definitely be less expensive, also the portion sizes are not very large. The Beef Carpaccio Giorgio Baldi is one of the best I have ever had, but this version at e Baldi wasn't nearly as delicious. The restaurant is also very small on the inside, so the tables are very close together. Conversations between tables easily overlap and moving around in the restaurant feels kind of like you're inside an airplane. Also, there is a 10% service charge on top of all bills due to it being located in Beverly Hills, which is definitely a negative. Finally parking in this area is not the easiest. We were able to find metered parking a block away, but if that's not possible your options will be valet parking for $12 or a paid lot close by.Overall a nice dinner, but I would recommend going to their original location instead."
