Pasta|Bar Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
This was an unforgettable experience.
The food was excellent, staff was kind, and the setting was beautiful. We came for our one year wedding anniversary and felt so special. The explaining of every dish, the selection of wine for pairing was incredible. Made us appreciate the experience!
I hate giving 3 stars because I loved everything about this
I hate giving 3 stars because I loved everything about this place. The service, the food, the ambiance - it was all amazing! I do wish the dessert course was better, but the cookie they sent us home with was delicious. I'm giving 3 stars because my friend and I both got sick afterwards, which is surprising and disappointing. Hopefully it was a one off because even as we were leaving, I was saying I would definitely go back!
The restaurant with the worst experience; Booking 4
The restaurant with the worst experience; Booking 4 people, one arrived on time, but the other three were 25 minutes late. The result was that several appetisers were cancelled directly, and the manager was reprimanded because of the late guests. Since one person did arrive on time, why didn't you serve appetizers? They reported that it was a restaurant rule, which was not mentioned in the reservation email prompt that was sent out. Then, when checking out, there was a problem with their POS connection and we needed to wait more than 35 minutes to Email them in order to check out. I asked why they were holding us up now because of their problems? He said he was sorry. I said you delay my time, you have lost nothing. Yet when we were late we lost our appetizers. He was speechless. What a disgusting dining experience.
I'm admittedly new to fine dining, but a birthday meal I
I'm admittedly new to fine dining, but a birthday meal I shared with my partner was the best (and most expensive) eating experience of my entire life. You can really feel the care and attention to detail in each dish, and for the first time in my life, I actually understand a sommelier's role in the dining experience. I didn't think it was bull, necessarily, but maybe an overstated power of suggestion. I now feel differently. The interplay between wine and meal is now a delicate dance choreographed with care. Considering the cost, I doubt that I'll have enough fine dining experiences in my life to the point where I become inured, even cynical. But should I become lucky enough to afford such meals on a semi-regular basis, I hope that I never turn a blind eye to the level of creativity, of passion, of sheer emotion and care put into this experience.
This placed definitely earned their Michelin Star.
Such a unique dining experience, and the food items were so well thought out and exquisitely crafted. The journey starts at the most inconspicuous location in a strip mall, but once you enter the main dining space, you are greeted by an open concept kitchen where you, as guests, surround the chefs as they create and serve the tasting menu right in front of you. The entire team was very attentive and engaging. I would definitely recommend this memorable and delicious experience.
Perfection.
Every bite, every detail, every ingredient, and every encounter with chef or staff is sublime. This is the greatest food experience in Los Angeles, and perhaps all of California. My tongue is still savoring every morsel of our vegetarian tasting menu. Going early meant we had the dining experience to ourselves, which was a true highlight. The "kitchen" adds so much to the peacefulness and care vibe of the restaurant. You enter another world and give your taste buds over to the most thoughtfully designed creations. The general manager and chefs share their passions with you, which enhances the experience from the pre-dinner amuse bouche and cocktail through the final dessert. This is a five star experience. Don't listen to any review that doesn't give it five stars. Excellence in execution from the moment they begin preparing until they bid you a personal goodbye. The most memorable gastronomic excursion of the year!
This place deserves a 4.
5 stars not sure why the Yelp review is not even a 4. The food was good comparable to other Michelin star places around town. The service was superb and eating at the counter to see the chefs interacting was nice too. Me and my friend had a great girl's night out. We didn't have any expectations and were pleasantly surprised.
Excellent- a true dinning experience.
Well worth it!!! Everything is an experience, from the way you are treated, served, and what your taste buds experience as they journey through all the different flavors.
I won't waste my breath or your time, so I'll keep this
I won't waste my breath or your time, so I'll keep this review short n' sweet and let the pictures do the dirty work. This meal is fantastic, the staff is outstanding and their attention to detail is immaculate. I came here not loving seafood, and left seeing the power of a well-cooked, love-soaked, intentional meal. So, do I like seafood now??? Pasta Bar is worth the $$. Come hungry.
Overall - 2/5.
Pasta Bar is kind of what you get when you reverse engineer what you think a Michelin starred restaurant should be and figure out what 45-50 year old professionals can afford to spend to feel successful in their dining habits. Nothing is simple on the menu - everything is overly sauced or naked - as if being extreme is part of the idea. Everything is wagyu fat this or truffle that - all rich - nothing quite joyous. Kitchen is like watching synchronized swimming if the participants were an all men's chorus of former pirates with a fondness for butter. Cool - but kind of scary? Why no women? Can't say. Everyone was pleasant but something is off. The music selection was downright weird and stuck in a 90s/00s hip hop, r&b mix that doesn't seem to match the setting or food. I suppose most of these observations are the result of the economics of fine dining in Los Angeles. For reasons explained below, for what ended up being an Italian Japanese fusion, I'd much prefer the low key dining experience of Orsa & Winston over the somewhat gimmicky allure of Pasta Bar. Cost - 1/5 this place used be somewhat more affordable with a $125 tasting menu - it has jumped to $225 with similarly priced wine pairing $145. This means with the included service charge and tax (applied on top of service) you're looking close to $1,000 for a couple. This hefty price tag earns an honest review. Atmosphere - 2/5. Setting is in valley mid-rise strip mall - if you know Encino you know the feel. The location is at a somewhat unmarked and unremarkable door, we had to ask the neighboring restaurant for directions and we could tell they get this question a lot. Like a few others cropping up in LA there is a waiting room bar. Strangely, though there were plenty of seats, they asked us to sit in particular bar seats next to other people. They then serve "canapes" and a welcome drink. Drink was good. My concern started to grow when the canapes were actually crudo. Is this a nomenclature issue? No -- due to some renovation issues with its sister restaurant downstairs, Sushi Bar, which had somehow relocated to the adjoining location at Pasta Bar - apparently we were destined to have the sushi restaurant bleed into the Pasta Bar menu for the rest of the night. I asked if I could order a cocktail - but we were told it was time to go to the kitchen - we had a schedule to keep. You're invited back to the kitchen for the rest of your night. It's a cool open kitchen concept with may 12 seats, with maybe 8 people also hustling and bustling preparing dishes, baking bread, serving wine etc. The problem began when they sat us at the far end. The AC register was aimed squarely at that seat blowing frigid air at the patrons head. When my wife - originally assigned the seat raised the issue, we were told to just switch seats. After 2 minutes I couldn't be comfortable and asked if they can close that particular vent. A very friendly server came out with a step ladder to do so but was shooed away by the chef. Instead they turned off the AC temporarily - opting to instead have the seat alternate between hot and cold - I had to keep alternating wearing my jacket multiple times. Honestly I was left feeling that this was such a known issue, it was odd that they felt the need to seat someone there to get the extra tasting in their books without correcting it. Service - I'd give it a 3/5. The somm was good - but the wine pairing was so-so. Interesting grape varietals, but for $145 wine pairing it mostly consists of $18-35 bottles of wine at what felt like quarter pours as opposed to the one-third pours we were told. So you're talking about fifty bucks a glass of pretty affordable wine - very heavy on whites. Added a point because they accommodated us the day of to have an earlier time so we could get back to our kids. Food - 2/5 ok this is weird - a Pasta Bar in name only? There were pasta dishes - I don't want to suggest there were not - but probably best not to let the name inform your expectations. We're talking single ravioli, four pieces of garganelli, etc. It's hard to judge food objectively - there were dishes I really liked and others that felt strange - like almost too salty to eat - or entirely covered in sauce to drown out the underlying ingredients. It's difficult to really rate this - but my wife and I had different opinions on each dish. Should food at this price point and acclaim really be polarizing though? We did agree that the bite of "wagyu" did not taste like the A5 available in LA. Bread was killer - they recommended we wait to eat half with the dishes but over a 2 hour meal you can see how this is just terrible advice. My mouth still hurts from the abrasions of dead bread toward the end. In conclusion - maybe we went on an off Saturday night or maybe our expectations were too high. But everything, even our negative experience all seemed so intentional. Who was breaking up with who here?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
