"The flavors and the service were great although as many other reviewers have mentioned the 18% service charge is really unfair. They should just pay their workers more to begin with. The issue is the 18% service charge is baked into your subtotal which is what you’re expected to tip off of. They should just subtotal your items and then add the 18% service charge and the state tax after that. Expecting you to tip on top of a service charge is honestly ridiculous. I am a big fan of the Jon and Vinnys, Petit Trois, and Animal, so I was very excited to try this place. It’s definitely more casual than all the others mentioned, but also a lot smaller. As mentioned our server Cassandra was really great and very prompt. She did a great job. The portion sizes are very small however, so this is not a place where you will be able to share items, nor is it somewhere to go if you are very hungry. I started off with the Caesar Salad, and it was absolutely delicious. The portion size is actually very fair, and I would happily order it again. Next I tried the Tuna Melt, which was very tasty, although I wish it came with avocado in it, which would’ve made it even better. The portion size was very small however. Finally I also tried the Lobster Roll, and it was gone in literally two bites. Kind of disappointingly small even though the flavors were very good. We also ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and it was actually great in flavor and fair in portion size. The french fries are a actually a shareable size so you really have to be careful what you order. Overall a really good meal but the portion sizes and the service charge hold it back from being a five-star place. Especially when you compare it to Animal or Petit Trois it falls a bit short of those, or Jon Vinny’s."

Food was really good. I got the Nashville spicy fried chicken sandwich. Our server was Miranda and she was really nice and courteous. She recommended the Bourbon Crunch ice cream scoop and it was probably best ice cream I’ve ever had. Great experience, would definitely recommend.
Stephanie
Mini lobster roll, smoked mahi dip, and kennebec fries rounded out a seaworthy lunch. Very fun decor and extremely kind and professional staff. The lobster roll was petite but packed with flavour and lobster. The toasted bun was buttery and delicious. The smoked mahi dip is a must have. I had to pace myself so I didn’t devour it immediately.

No frills….this place is about the food, steak was excellent and the hot chicken sandwich is one of the best I’ve had in LA ; service staff was friendly….small menu means enough time to do the things they do very well…cocktails were aces too, a great casual date or pre-game comedy show dinner, all four in our party highly recommend this gem.

Son of a Gun never fails to impress! The food quality has remains consistently high, and their snap peas salad is a must-try when available. Don't miss the linguine pasta with clams and Uni aglio olio it’s a guaranteed winner. Their fried chicken sandwich with fresh quick pickles is to die for. The service is outstanding, and reservations are a must.

Quick trip to LA and our first stop was Son of a Gun. Each dish was delicious! We had the hamachi, shrimp toast, lobster roll (it's small so just order two), clam linguine, fried chicken sandwich and the bourbon crunch ice cream. When we go back, I'd order all of these dishes again but I know we need to try more of the menu so MAYBE we'll try new things. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Overall, wonderful experience.
