TL;DR - Michelin Guide restaurant with unique food
TL;DR - Michelin Guide restaurant with unique food selections a la carte with reasonable prices. Dishes are refined and the chicken liver toast, bone marrow, and marrow burger are a must! Overall my #2 restaurant behind COTE nyc and Kinship DC! Food: refined dishes that are creative and Michelin star quality! I really enjoyed the soft shell crab. Fried to perfection accompanied with a unique green sauce that cut through the fatty fried crab. The only dish I didn't like was the duck confit. It was a bit dry on the outside and it was covered with fresh and dry herbs and spices that ended up being overpowering, and there was nothing to balance the greasiness of the duck confit. We didn't finish it. Service: solid service with a nice server who gave us recommendations for how to customize our selection and give the meal some balance. He gave us the dishes in the order he thought was best while taking into account each dish's unique qualities (like a fruit salad after the fried pig ear). Ambiance: simple decor with medium level of chatter buzzing about. Decor was a bit too simple, and I wish the place wasn't so grey and concrete, but hey the food slapped.
My husband picked this spot for date night some months back
My husband picked this spot for date night some months back and we really enjoyed the meal and our night! It's one of the few LA restaurants that gave me that NYC vibe. What we ate: Chicken liver toast Hamachi tostada Crispy pig ears Crispy rice Sweetbreads Burger Dessert - sticky toffee cake of sorts Everything was delicious but I think the burger, sweetbreads, and chicken liver toast were the winners. They've got a nice wine menu as well and I had a glass of natural wine with dinner. Unfortunately, I think they are permanently closing their restaurant this summer..
How does this place still have 4 stars? I've been here
How does this place still have 4 stars? I've been here three times. Twice before COVID, once after. It used to be great, but the place has gone tremendously downhill since COVID. I was so excited to go back, but it was truly the worst experience. Idk what was worse: the food or the service. JK, the food was definitely bad enough to take the cake on this one. I went with my boyfriend and 4 friends so we ordered a lot from the menu and got a pretty good sampling of everything... and absolutely none of it was good. In fact, it was hardly even what I would describe as edible and we actually didn't eat most of it, so it was a complete waste of money and food. Absolutely a let down and mildly infuriating (or wildly infuriating, I'm just trying to be level-headed). The chef seems to have some odd obsession with lime. I don't hate lime by any means, but there can certainly be too much of a good thing and this was WAY too much. The bone marrow had practically ZERO marrow and was all just a bunch of chimichurri on top of a bone. Absolute let down. The sweetbreads were bad, the duck was SO DRY and over cooked. Truly every dish was worse than the last Now for the service, our waiter was rude and for some reason didn't like the way we were ordering? Because we were three couples, and each couple wanted something different (and some had dietary restrictions), we were ordering multiple things per couple, but he didn't like that -- apparently we were supposed to order multiple things for the whole table and share them amongst ourselves. I don't really see what difference it makes since we definitely ordered plenty (so he didn't need to worry about not getting a big tip... but I'll get to the tipping in a bit). So what difference does it make to him if we split all the dishes among the whole table or just between the couples? Please make it make sense. (And to clarify, we paid the tab all on one card, so it couldn't have been an issue about complicating the bill either.) Anyways on to the tip... There is an automatic service charge (I believe it was 18%? Could've been a full 20%) and it was made loud and clear that this was NOT a tip. So let me get this straight, you want me to pay a ton of money for absolutely inedible food, then you're gonna charge me 18-20% on top of that, then you expect me to tip another 20% for rude service? Why not just charge the amount you wanted to charge for the dishes then? Is it because you know this is absurd? Anyways the experience was all around terrible and put me in a foul mood and I will never return to this place again. Which is so sad, because the food here really used to be divine.

Went for my anniversary a month ago and had an awesome experience. Their pig ear and bone marrow dishes were amazing. We rave about wanting them til this day! We were also surprised by how delicious the liver toast was. I also recommend the skirt steak if available. Jacob was a great server! We will be back!

Five stars, the wait staff is knowledgeable about every dish. I will be returning here. The ambiance is low lit and relaxing but the tables are tiny. Ended up getting a seat towards the end of the night and ate the star item. Enjoyed it. A lot of café put into every plate.
I just read an article today that animal will be closing.
That devastates me to my very core. Animal was one of the best restaurants that LA had to offer. The food was phenomenal. The staff was wonderful. And the ambience was cozy and welcoming. I hope everybody has a chance to book a reservation before they close to experience one of LA's finest restaurants.
Animal has unique and delicious food, consistently.
It's one of my favorite spots for when I'm feeling like I want to splurge. It only loses one star because I really don't appreciate their policy of adding a 17% service surcharge onto every bill that is not a tip. It basically means that once you add tip, your bill is always an extra 40% on top of the subtotal. I'm all for service workers getting benefits and healthcare, but Animal charges premium prices for very small dishes and is always packed -- they should be able to take care of their staff with that revenue without having to pass the extra surcharge to customers.

4++ this restaurant, since it's opening has been doing a lot of things that I would credit how the LA food scene was shaped. Lots of fun, creative dishes that doesn't mind taking risks. It's small-ish, but the vibe is fun and lively, which is partially helped by the fact it's located in the heart of the hustle bustle area of Fairfax. The service is great as well. Came here a while, back with my roommate at the time and her sister and her sister's friend. We ordered a bunch of different things and feasted. I really wanted to try the foie gras loco moco and was very pleased with it. The heirloom tomatoes was also super delish. So much fun getting to try all the different items. Ideal size group would be 4-6 to get to order a lot of different things.
Always a delight to enjoy the best food.
The pork slider is a must! On a brioche bun and the pork is tender and full of flavor. Don't miss out on fresh, delicious goodness. Come try it for yourself.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
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.
