Shilo's Kosher Restaurant

Kosher or not, sevice and presentation stunk! We were greeted by a rude hostess and what seemed to be one of the owners or a manager standing and blocking the entrance into the dining room. We had to squeeze by him to get in. The server would repeat what I asked him to get for me with a blank look on his face as if he himself never has eaten in a restaurant or maybe even had a conversation with someone! Steak was ok the ribs were unedible and the restaurant trys to come high class when its not. Lets put down some checkered table cloth stop serving ketchup in designer plates and get some waiters with experience at Chilis or Friday's. My experience stunk at the moment the Valet greeted me to the moment I realized that the hostess to better accomodate our party asked us to move our table ourselves. The bus Boy was completely confused but must be very well payed becausehe was wearing huge diamond earings! Im angry I wasted my money ,sad that I am forced to eat un Kosher meat! Because Next week. Mastros!!!!\r Note to the owners: Get a staff that has a clue. I know youre from France and have a flashy Website, thats not going to make your sub par, bad service, rude host, dining establishment last beyond the people who are forced to keep kosher and the people who elect to have a choice. My advice .... Break the commandments of the Torah and eat at McDonalds. You'll feel better the next day!!! God Will understand. Pros: Opaka paka Sashimi. Cons: Steak, Service, seating, ambience, staff, food, salads, ribs, chairs, tables, music, more

I went to SHILO with a friend and his wife. while the place looks nice, I would not go back. They packed in so many tables that the waiter had to pass food over my head to get to the people sitting behind us. My plate was not hot like most nice places and my side dishes were cold. the steak was nothing to write home about and even the waiter complained to us about how cramped the layout is. \r with regards to the reviewer who claimed SHILO was better than prime grill, keep dreaming. Pros: I wish there was a pro Cons: the seating is cramped and the food is overpriced for what you get more

With a waiter who grew up in the meat business who made great recommendations for each of us, excellent and attentive service, lovely ambience in this tiny steakhouse, we and our guests felt this was a much nicer evening out and better food than at Prime Grill! There's no attitude and everyone seemed to be having a good time all over the restaurant.\r \r My rib eye was incredibly flavorful, fork-tender and so good, I ate every morsel. Everyone was very happy with their choices, even the non-meat eater who chose the fish. Pros: Intelligent waitstaff, great service, pleasant and quiet environment Cons: Small restaurant, so it's a little crowded at some tables more

First thing's first. DON'T order the fois gras. It's just moussed chopped duck liver, not fois gras, and certainly not worth the eighteen dollars. I mean, if you love chopped liver, you'll definately like this. But if you haven't kept kosher forever and you've had fois gras, you'll be highly dissapointed (I wasn't surprised, I couldn't imagine that stuffing a goose 'til its liver is overgrown could possibly be considered kosher). \r \r Anyway, the steak is actually better than good. It's really good! And sauces are nice, too. Also, the complimentary bread (with a starter from the La Brea bakery) come complimetary with olive tapenade and if you ask, harissa (watch out, it's delish, and particularly spicy). The steak was done as I had ordered it, the sides were nice (if a bit simple). My mother said that the duck was great, too. And the waiter (I believe his name was Craig) was particularly fantastic. He was patient, attentive, and delt with my parents' endless questions like a real, forgive the term, mensch. Not to mention that the french fries were great! Something like the kosher answer to McDonald's classic. Perfectly salted, and not to limp, not too crispy.\r \r The restaurant itself was nice, too, with a stone-lined fountain wall in the backdrop, a cool, modern, bathroom. The booths were beautiful, and ambience was nice, except that there was no sound dampening in the room, so it got to loud and could be difficult to hear at times. The tables in the middle of the room made it a little crowded, but we hear that that problem will be alleviated when they expand next door this year.\r \r Let's be honest. Because so many of the kosher establishments in this city usually have greasy tables and rude servers who act like they don't care about whether they have your business or not, Shilo's is a welcome, if expensive, alternative. We'll be back. Pros: Good kosher steak. more
