The Stinking Rose

I've been at the San Francisco location,nLoved it! I hope this place comes back from covid-19. I want try this one in Los Angeles!

Stellar atmosphere, interesting food (Garlic ice cream, anyone?).nnParking and general location leaves a lot to be desired, but it's definitely a go-to anytime I'm in town.

It was better before, service has gone down the last two times I went and both times the garlic ice cream was melting...plus the garlic caramel on top is gross now, it’s goo rather then caramelized over the ice cream.

Love this restaurant!! No corking fee if you bring your own bottle of wine #Winning!! We come here to celebrate birthday’s or just because we love the atmosphere. Last time I dined here I was with a large party of 10+ everything was wonderful and wait staff superb.

For most people, the price range makes it a special-occasion only option, but if you love garlic like I do... you gotta visit Mecca at some point. I got the crab (go big or go home haha) and it was SO good. Kicks The Boiling Crab’s butt (although not spicy).nnBut seriously, garlic LOVERS only. Otherwise, you’ll probably be overwhelmed by the smell of the restaurant before your appetizers come. The garlic ice cream is a nice novelty to get once, but feel free to plan to share because it’s a bit much (garlic) for one.
