Damian Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
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 to spend, yes go for it!!
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 for food and drinks have been A+. I cannot wait until my next visit!
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. The sommelier came to the table (we're not wine drinkers) and described the cocktails. Majority are mezcal based. I'm not a mezcal fan, so I ordered a classic margarita. The menu is pretty small. Waiter took our orders. Drinks took forever to come. When they finally did, everyone's looked and tasted good. Mine (the margarita) tasted like it had been sitting on the counter, melting for a while. It would have tasted better at El Torito. Not even a lime to garnish it. I wanted to send it back, but we didn't see any wait-staff/sommelier for a while so I just drank it. When the waiter finally arrived, and asked how the drinks were, I told him mine was terrible, and he didn't know how to handle the information - basically just took it in and said "oh." Food was quite tasty but it is really expensive for what you get - even if it is elevated Mexican, it still is Mexican. Standout was the calamari appetizer, the Branzino entree and the duck carnitas entree. As others have said here, $98 for the duck carnitas is crazy, but it did taste great. The starter portions are tiny - there were 4 of us, and we each got a little bite of most things. I'm glad we went - nice decor and very tasty - but for the prices they charge, I'd expect more.
Omg Damian is consistently so, SO good! We've been here 5-6
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 Bestia that's right across the street). The ambiance is wonderful for dinner and this is the perfect date night spot. Dim lighting, modern design, and beautiful tropical plants lining the backside of the tables indoors - what more can you ask for. Plus the service is amazing. The servers we've had are always so attentive, with courses coming out in a well-paced manner throughout the meal. The drinks are also incredible. They have a wide selection of Tequilas and Mezcals and amazing mixed drinks. On this most recent trip for an early Valentine's Day date night, we were a little disappointed that they had changed their menu since we used to love certain main courses (it looked like almost everything had been changed except for the guacamole and a few desserts - we were sad to see the pork belly taco main course go...). Regardless of the change in menu though, all the dishes we ordered were still delicious. For drinks, my boyfriend had the Que Sabor and I had a Mezcal Margarita. Presentation of the drinks was beautiful as always and they were so delicious. We ordered the guacamole, crudo de atún, and charred octopus huarache. The crudo was definitely the stand-out dish - the tuna was so fresh and buttery and everything that comes along with the tuna in the bowl compliments it so well (honestly, never would have thought to pair raw tuna with green olives and basil, but it worked). For mains, we shared the branzino and carne asada with a side of heirloom frijoles. The side was necessary along with the guacamole we ordered earlier and the 3 complimentary salsas to make our tacos. We appreciated that they kept the handmade tortillas coming. Out of the two dishes, the carne asada was the stand-out. It was truly cooked perfectly and was so flavorful. In all the times we've been here, we never have room for dessert, but one day we are determined to save room so we can try the hibiscus meringue!
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 maybe it should be cut or maybe that's just my fault feb17,2024
Fantastic food and atmosphere! Went with a large group and
Fantastic food and atmosphere! Went with a large group and everyone loved their dishes. Creative and very tasty. Can't wait to go back.
Trying this place out for dinner reminded me why I don't
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. Mind you, I'm born and raised in LA and grew up with the best Mexican food you can find outside of Mexico - but what's also great about Mexican food is that it's affordable, democratic, and accessible. This restaurant will impress you by how much they can overcharge you by 'elevating' some of their spin on classic dishes. You pay $30 for a tiny tostada - yes it's a unique and delicious tostada, but nothing that knocks me off my socks. Sure, it's cool they use fire ants for the sauce, but you cannot see or taste the difference. The swordfish was odd and underwhelming, and it was awkward learning how to assemble a taquito with it every time. The shockingly tiny glass of $10 agua fresca looked nice but honestly didn't taste any better than one I can get from my local street vendor. Their $20 guacamole also didn't taste any more special than what I get at Chiptotle - it was actually pretty bland and flavorless for me. I also really hate paying $5 for water and 4% for staff health insurance. With the exorbitantly high prices that they overcharge you with already from their menu, I'm sure management can afford to pay for their own staff's 'wellness' and not kick the bill to the customer. Ridiculous. It was cool checking this trendy place out, but I would never spend my hard-earned money here - I felt ripped off at every opportunity and still left feeling hungry.
This restaurant is in the same plaza as Bestia, so parking
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. We had reservations and so we were able to be seated right away. Highly recommend making reservations as it gets quite busy. I loved the interior and ambiance of the restaurant. Unfortunately, the food and service wasn't as good as we hoped for and it wasn't worth the price. We got: -uni tostada ($20): the tostada and other ingredients overpowered the taste of the uni. -guacamole ($19): this was the best thing we ordered -ceviche ($28): decent but nothing amazing -octopus huarache ($32): served on tostada -lobster Al pastor ($48): good, but portion is very small -duck carnitas ($98): extremely fatty and duck flavor didn't stand out Cocktails were also extremely disappointing, we ordered the frozen yuzu, mandarina, and the Paloma. None of the cocktails were great, would not recommend the cocktail list here. Overall, wanted to love this place but disappointed. Would skip out, Bestia next door is a much better choice.
This was my 4th time there, and I just love the food and
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 away for a sec! We came back because I was craving their duck breast steak (duck al pastor), but they discontinued it...! It was such a bummer but we ordered Duck Carnitas instead and it was pretty good as well. Not sure if I'll be back again since they don't do the duck breast anymore, but overall, it's definitely a cool spot to check out.
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. One tip: do not skip the calmar, it's phenomenal. To each his own.
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. They take forever to get your orders but are over eager to clean and are picking up plates that still have food on them. The chicken was the worst. $50 for what was described as a boneless chicken breast but I'm sure was thigh meat. Steak was so tough and undercooked to how we ordered. The ceviche was great. Guacamole was good. Octopus terrible - dry sliced on the masa. Cauliflower elite terrible, watery cauliflower with no sauce. $400 for three people with drinks. So not worth it.
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.
Amazing food
Wow, the food was amazing. And the drinks were fantastic too! Only issue is the noise, it’s a very busy place inside and not ideal for a romantic / couple dinner. Probably better with a group of friends.

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.

I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week.

Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

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. 😕
