Damian Los Angeles Reviews
Definitely on the expensive side.
There's some street parking, though it doesn't feel the safest, so valet might be the move. The drinks were excellent, probably better than the food overall. A lot of the dishes leaned fusion, with some hits and misses. The guac wasn't

Huge CDMX vibes which makes sense because it comes from the team that does Pujol! The food was all very fresh and yummy. Portions are kinda small for the price but thats how most restaurants in LA are. The homemade tortillas are fabulous, especially
Never even made it !!! Called and on the answering machine
Never even made it !!! Called and on the answering machine it says there is a Sunday brunch at 1000am. So we drive quite a ways to finally try this out !!! Only to find out it was not open and a guy across the street told us they were not good abo
Why did this lowkey hit.
.. i was very nervous to try this spot bc it was giving tiny little dishes just to be fancy. They were tiny but actually really good quality and flavorful. The dishes are meant to be family style so u just share the small dishes w everyone. The torti
The ambience is cute.
However, the food is highly overpriced for what you get. Their cocktails are just mainly ice with huge ice cubes. You're lucky if you can taste anything else. As far as the food goes, the guac was probably the best thing for the portion I mean i

Oh man, this place is for the RICH because it's severely overpriced. The space is dim and romantic and has a cute outside space that's brighter in the back. The service was okay. Amazing and charming host, but server seemed a bit distrac
I really wanted to love this place.
My husband and I had been eager to try it since it opened; especially since we had such a great experience at Pujol in Mexico City a few years ago. The ambiance was a 10/10. The space is beautiful, and the outdoor area where we were seated was elega
Such an incredible experience with this place.
Loved how they made the place look and minimalist and intimate. Made a reservation for Wednesday at 8:30 but we were 30 mins late and they still took us in even though kitchen last call was 9:15 so we tried our best to order and dine quickly. They do
Beautiful restaurant in the arts district.
We found street parking but they have valet available. I got the Paloma drink and it was refreshing. We ordered the ceviche, carrot aguachile, the garlic prawns, the branzino and the carne asada. They recommend family style dining and give you side t

Great spot.
Food is always wonderful - service is warm and inviting, and love the classic decor.

Damian isn't just a restaurant--it's a revelation.
Just do whatever it takes to eat here. Sell your car, trade in your crypto, pawn your blender--whatever it takes. This isn't dinner--it's divinity wrapped in a tortilla. Tucked into LA's Arts District, Damian is hands-down one of the
Service gets a 5, food gets a 3.
We sat at the bar and the staff were very attentive. They kept apologizing for the wait time, even though it wasn't very long. They checked on us frequently. The food was okay. We recently came back from CDMX and had high expectations. We had

This is regarding dinner on August 10, 25.
I sent this email to the Damian website and still have not received a response. My husband also reviewed our experience and received a cut and paste AI response. Needless to say that our business means nothing to them. Hello, I usually do not send a
Damian is one of my favorite restaurants.
The food is great and the service and hospitality is over the top. Everyone working there is so helpful and pleasant. They all seem to really enjoy bending over backwards to make you feel special. I can't say enough about the service.
Honestly, it's not worth the money.
The service was terrible - our waiter didn't explain anything, didn't ask if we wanted more drinks (even though mine sat empty for 45 minutes), and barely checked on us. We had a 7:30 reservation but weren't seated until 8. No water fo
They got all of our orders wrong.
Prawns and Drinks were good tho. (Plus one star). They should give more tortillas.
High Class
Damian is located in the Arts District and serves high class and elevated Mexican food. Sleek interiors and great service. I especially enjoyed the tostada from the small but select menu.
Evolved Mexican cuisine for a special no-budget occasion
This restaurant is located in a gentrified block at the edge of the Arts District. A bit out of the way but worth a visit. The service is friendly and informative. It was hard to choose dishes from the eclectic menu. I picked three small plates ins
Didn’t get it
I was looking for somewhere I hadn’t been in the arts district and after I read the reviews for this restaurant it seemed like a no brainer. We were booked for 8pm on a Thursday and I was surprised to see it maybe a quarter full. Good room. Industr
Elevated Mexican food in a stylish setting
Elevated Mexican food at its peak in LA. Stylish setting in the arts district in downtown LA. Great cocktails with a stunning selection of tequilas and mezcals. The menu is short, with 4-5 items in just 3 categories. Each dish is singular and amazing

This was an over hyped restaurant.
. Just all over the place. I honestly feel like they are trying to create a style of Mexican food that' targets an authentic taste, but it truly does not . Too much going on with the ingredients and the delivery. The service was okay. Hostess gre
We had a reservation for 5 at 5:30 pm on a Monday.
We had to valet the car for $13 because there wasn't parking immediately available in the lot and we were running late. When we were walking in, we noticed there was relatively reasonable turnover if we wanted to wait. When we arrived, the front sa

This is my favorite LA restaurant restaurant.
The swordfish is my favorite item on the menu but so sad about the new portion. It has been reduced to 1/3 of the original size but the price only reduced by 1/4. I understand restaurant struggles but the portion was so tiny last night. I wanted
Expensive but totally worth it.
The ambiance was perfect gem in the art district. The drinks were amazing as well.
This is our third visit here.
We love that they kept some popular dishes on the menu while introducing new ones. Everything we ordered was fantastic. We were hesitant about ordering the swordfish, as it can often be dry, but they cooked it perfectly--moist, tender, and full of fl
Everything was absolutely impeccable in terms of food
Everything was absolutely impeccable in terms of food quality and flavors that were true to Mexican cuisine... but in new combinations... I'm not a drinker but the waiter gave us the best tasting tequila to sip... on the house. If you have the money
Amazing.
Great flavors but small portions. Everything was so flavorful in the right ways. The salmon tostada, the octopus, the duck... so good. I wish I could eat here every week. I've been here twice and each time the service was excellent. Recommendations f
Dined at Damian last night.
I have to say, I agree with most of the reviews - good but overpriced. Really cool, chic, well decorated space. Noisy. The valet is nuts on a Saturday night, mostly because of Bestia across the way. We were seated right away. Nice, large round table.

Omg Damian is consistently so, SO good! We've been here 5-6 times since they opened a few years ago and the service, food, and ambiance are all incredible. I'm honestly always surprised how I never have trouble getting a reservation here (unlike Best
Best high end Mexican food I've ever had.
Will come here again. Service was perfect, they cleaned our table every time we even had a crumb on it lol. This place has a very nice vibe to it. 5+ stars for me. Uni tostada and tamale was my favorite. Only thing is I choked on the green onion mayb

Fantastic food and atmosphere! Went with a large group and everyone loved their dishes. Creative and very tasty. Can't wait to go back.

This restaurant is in the same plaza as Bestia, so parking is a bit tough if you don't want to do valet. Came here for dinner, we had been wanting to go here for quite some time after finding out that it's under the same restaurant as Pujol in CDMX.

Trying this place out for dinner reminded me why I don't bother with fancy restaurants. Yes, the restaurant itself is gorgeous and modern. Service is great from start to finish. However, the food....is just ridiculously overpriced for what you get.
I Eat at Damian Every Time I'm in LA
The food here is outstanding, with surprising yet perfectly matched flavors in every bite. The service is impeccable, and the atmosphere is cool. While some people find it "expensive," food this creative, so well prepared, is worth it. O

This was my 4th time there, and I just love the food and the vibes inside. The service is great, they have a lot of employees, so even when it's busy, your server manages to check in with you quite often. Plus, they even fold your napkin if you step
I'm surprised at the reviews here.
The food is average at best. Definitely trying too hard. The ambience is great (except for the nutribullet that was blending up drinks at the bar which overpowered the music and our voices... why?!) the space is beautiful inside. The service is ok. T
Really great food.
Great food and service.nice ambiance also trendy. I really like their ceviche it is delicious. Portions are small but we just had appetizers at the bar. Pricey so be prepared but worth it if you like amazing flavors.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Damian Los Angeles. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Damian Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Damian Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Damian Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Damian Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
