The Stocking Frame - Los Angeles

I made a reservation on Tuesday because I am a comic. platz was super easy to find for our Lyft driver, but they have valet right in front. Host type was super cool, chatted us up and gave us our choice of seats. he was even a super good sport with my wife, they can recommend me a drink even if they don't know me or my taste routine. craft drink menu is legit, woman had the nacional and the tiger print and liked both. I just went jack and koks, but they had a great distribution, so don't complain. also beverages were at a reasonable price for craft cocktails in dtla so kudos. We started eating with the brussel sprouts broccoli, which were amazing. the woman had the burger she loved. I had the house fenchelwurst pizza rosso in the cast iron and it was brilliant, perfect amount of cheese and sauce with the crispy pieces at the edges and fresh sausages and wobble. maria took care of us all night and even plagued us with random things that our parents use to let us eat when we were younger. total, simple 5 stars. great eating, great service and the location was easy. we're coming back.

Went for a birthday dinner and was very pleased with the location. Everyone had a lot of fun, and the food/drinks were great!

Comfortable, attractive setting. Staff busy but good service overall.

Portions were very small. I ordered a manhattan ...when the bill came I noticed that I was charged 20 dollars for the drink...when I brought it to the server's attention she said they used premium whiskey...which I didn't request...she lowered the price to 14 dollars...still too high!

When The Stocking Frame first opened, it was absolutely wonderful. The chef created lovely, delicious and imaginative dishes that were just great. I hadn 't been back in a while and, when I went last week, I was disappointed to find that it now caters to a sports bar type of clientele and serves mostly burgers, pizzas and basic salads. Our waitress assured us that it was the same chef as always but I found that hard to believe. It went from being a destination restaurant to an if-stuck-and-there 's-nothing-else restaurant. Very disappointing! And the pastrami tacos were so salty, I couldn 't eat them.
