Cat & Fiddle

Velvet Nightlife.com is a web-site that allows you to tell Nightclubs in Hollywood what you are willing to spend for table service. The web-site works with club owners to help them reduce the amount of excess inventory that they have every night. It is not uncommon for a customer to be able to get VIP bottle service at many of Hollywood’s hottest clubs for a fraction of the normal cost. I got a table with two bottles of Belvedere for $400 including tax and gratuity.

My friends and I reserved the back room for a good-bye party last weekend. We had 20-25 people there. It took so long for the waitress to come to the table that I finally went to the bar. All I wanted was a mocha, but when I asked the bartender, she said "what's a mocha?" I said, it's on your menu. She said the waitress can help you with that and turned her back! I then informed the hostess that the bartender was not helpful at all. She laughed and said "I know!" and walked away. When the waitress finally did come, she got everyone's order, brought everyone's drink and forgot mine. I said "can I get the mocha I ordered?" and she said, "yeah, when I get a chance. I have to make it." People had their food before I finally had a coffee with some syrup thrown in. Don't waste your time or money. The atmosphere would be nice if the service wasn't so horrible. **By the way, if any of the staff, especially the owner is reading this, it takes just as much effort to be friendly as it does to be rude. I'm spreading the word--as well as the 20 others in my group--to not go back.

Pros: The waitress was awesome. The patio was georgous. Cons: The food was terrible. The hostesses were unbelievely rude... I can't be bothered to take the time to write the whole story - but two hostesses picked fights on three occasions with different members of our party. Then continued to be rude to us throughout our bland, greasy, overpriced, poorly presented meal. The waitress was awesome though... This has been my experience the past 3 times I've been there. I won't go back. Neither should you.

They have been around for over 20 years! wow that is rare in LA. They are a real family owned and family oriented restaurant. Very accomodating staff and great place to sit and relax on the patio for happy hour or bundle by the fire inside with some fish and chips and a guinness on a winter day.

The Place is really cool. The service is terrible. The owner can be a real beeatch. She'd rather be right that be a smart business woman. We went to see about having a going away party (leaving LA LA) there. It was a Sat. morn, the gates to the joint were open...we saw someone there and walked in to ask about having our party there. All she had to say was, "the person you need to talk to will be here in a few minutes" but NOOOOOOOOO ~ she had to make us see how rude and terribly mannered we were for disrupting her breakfast...that's cool. We took our business somewhere else and I would love to send her the gross reciepts from our party!
