I attended Vermont with my friends for the new years menu for the second seating of the night. The decoration and the vibe was incredible. The best part of the night was the food. I had the Crab Bisque to start and the endive salad and ended with the Sea Bass, one word, EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The presentation was excellent and great flavors. All the food was great, agreed with all my friends. One of my friends ordered the Fettuccine and he said it was the best dish ever. The service was kinda slow, and might have needed improvement. My compliments to the Chef of Vermont. One of the waiters passing by had a smell of ciggarettes, which was a real dissapoinment. The Valet was good too, although they were really busy. Pros: The FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cons: Slow Service

This is a very nice place with a very nice staff. They are both friendly and accomodating. This is true in both the bar and restaurant. The food was well-prepared and offered generous (but not overwhelming) portions. The menu is not particularly creative or unusual and there are nearly as many salads and starters as there are entree choices. Can't imagine becoming a regular at $70 for a drink and a 3 course meal, but I will come back when I need a nice venue in the neighborhood. Pros: Nice people in a nice room - valet parking Cons: Good, but not great American food

Love this Los Feliz neighborhood restaurant. The ambiance is very appealing and seductive. The staff is friendly and responsive. The food is excellent and has never disappointed after returning several times. The crowd in the adjoining bar is very eclectic and the vibe in the room is relaxed and sophisticated. If you haven't tried it, try it, you will be delighted. For all you celeb watchers, the last time I was there I saw Kiefer Sutherland with a group of friends. I was told he was a regular. All in all, I highly recommend it.

We went to dinner before a show at the Greek and found the staff responsive to our schedule needs. Food was good and relatively quick given the crowd - many who were theatre-goers too. Our party enjoyed a wide array of selections from seafood to steaks to salads which were good value (not stingy in size) for the money. Sadly we could not take the left-overs with us as they would be sitting in the car all evening. The wine selection was also good - enjoyed a northern Italian Pinot Grigio which was excellent - two bottles for the table! I have recommended this restaurant to others going to the Greek - a good time before the show!

I have lived in the area for over 5 years and have recommended Vermont many times in its early days. Unfortunately, it has progressively gotten worse and I continue to be disappointed in the food and in the service. My last attempt was a birthday dinner which left me so disappointed I will never return and will recommend against a meal at Vermont. My ribeye came back over cooked (it also did not seem like a ribeye cut). I asked them to take it back and the new steak which "appeared" to be a ribeye came back raw (bloody and cold to touch on the inside). The waiter was indifferent and unaccountable for the service that should be provided by a restaurant in this price range. Subsequently, I shared my partner's chicken, which was over-seasoned and dry. The only saving grace was the hostess who tried to make the situation better and gave us two free deserts. It was generous but we were there for dinner not a sugar high. I was sent a birthday coupon as a gift for the restaurant that they advised I use at another visit. It went into the trash. Sadly, I used to love this place but there are much better options in the area.

I went to Vermont for my friends bday this past weekend, and it was a unique experience.The ambience of the place was simply decorated with Asiatic themes and dim lighting. I ordered the chicken breast which was delicious except for the fact that they ran out of chicken breast and gave us chicken strips instead (same difference). The meals were a bit pricey but the portion seemed just right.The bar was pretty hoppin' but it seemed like the place was filled with young professionals, not college students. The deejay surprisingly played good music. We got reservations, but it seemed as though others who didn't had to wait a while. This might sound silly, but you have to check out the women's bathroom because they have this teeny tiny sink in the corner that everyone in our party had to check out. Pros: nice ambience, good food Cons: parking, slow service

I can not say enough about this place. I go every chance I get! The restaurant itself is perfect - the ambience is perfect both for dressing up to go on a romantic dinner date, and yet can also be casual for a easy going spot to go after work or with a group. The service is always friendly and courteous, and the staff welcomes you like family, instead of the usual pomp and snobbery you encounter at similar kinds of establishments. Every menu item I have tried has been amazing, and the wine list is impressive. Must try's include the crab cakes, the pepper steak, and the hazelnut cheesecake. There is also a lounge is you just want drinks - again, very cool and classy, but without any kind of pretension - perfect for a first date! Pros: Ambience, Service, Food Cons: What Cons?

My friends and I dined here on Saturday night for my husband's birthday. Although we enjoyed the atmosphere, the lighting, the crowd, and the D.J, we did not enjoy everything. We were greeted by a not-so-nice hostess that appeared to be bothered by finding us a table, even though I had made reservations. She even complained to our waiter right in front of us. I wish that I can at least say that the food was good but......unfortunately not. All of the steaks were under cooked, the risotto was salty and under cooked, and the fish was rubbery. All in all a great time with friends but not a restaurant I will recommend. Pros: atmosphere Cons: everything else

I dined here one Saturday evening and was quite impressed with the service I received from the hostess, the waiter AND especially the bartender. Patrons appear to be a "artsy" bunch. Decor is very chic yet warm and cozy. Good drinks.
