Hippo Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
Hippo Restaurant
One of the best pastas in LA. The broccolini ravioli with the Vongole sauce is my favorite. The cauliflower with capers and the Tandori influenced chicken is also excellent. Can’t forget about the Hippo rolls neither. Drinks are top notch and so is just about everything here. Highly recommend Hippo for dinner and hitting the bars along The Fig in Highland park. Good way to spend a Friday or Saturday night
More water please and pass the headphones.
Merely ok selections, overly spiced. Good service but strangely disappointing. Not a memorable dining experience- more like a picnic that we quickly forgot. Crowded and obviously successful , the place is a destination. As Yogi Berra said,”the place is so crowded nobody goes there any more.” I recommend this place as a “young adult” pasta joint pretending to be fine dining. Go there to talk, chat and drink. Have 🤩 fun
Ignoring Food Allergies
If you or someone you know has a food allergy, please read this review. My family went to Hippo for dinner on November 26, 2023. I explained to our waitress Mary that I have a garlic food allergy and asked if the scallops entree could be made without garlic. She checked with the kitchen staff and told me that almost all of their dishes have garlic. We discussed options and I ordered just the scallops without garlic and nothing else on the plate. When the order arrived, the plate had multiple food items. I asked the server if the food had garlic and he ansered yes. At that point, I refused the meal and talked with Simone (Manager on duty) to register my complaint. She re-ordered my meal without garlic and it arrived after my family was finished with their meals. Food allergies are a problem when eating out. Restaurants risk the health of their customers when they ignore a food allergy. In my opinion, Hippo's wait and kitchen staff did not take my food allergy seriously and made excuses for their mistake. They have a limited menu and their website did not indicate any problems dealing with food allergies. My final meal was ordinary and the restaurant did not charge me. I will not return to this restaurant in the future.
dont be late!
i arrived 13 minutes late (not unusual in LA) and was told that my reservation had expired. i had confirmed by text that i was on my way and thought it unnecessary to also call. they offered seating at the bar, although there were many empty tables. they could not offer me a table, because “they have back to back reservations”. I went instead to triple beam pizza, next door. it was a cheaper and more welcoming option.
Beer $14.00 service fee not included.-
A glass of beer $14.00 . That is the first thing that comes to mind at Hippo. The sticky rolls were $12.00 and a can of cider was $11.00 So before the main courses your already at #37.00 Had the Hanger steak at $42.00 ,it was not a bad steak and the stripped bass was a small portion ..With 2 additional cocktails ,then came the bill with a service charge on the bottom after taxes . So, now came the tip and it all added up to just under $200.00 ! Needless to say, I will not be back after a bite like that .
Enjoyable Meal, Indoor Seating Preferred, Wine Selection - Meh!
We looked forward to dinner at Hippo after hearing great restaurant reviews. When we arrived, they sat us outside next to a power box in the back, next to all the extra space heaters and furniture. It certainly was not what we expected. Our daughter was running late, so we asked if we could order a bottle of wine and an appetizer. The server explained that all food orders must go to the kitchen on time. I asked to speak with the sommelier as I was not fond of the wine options and needed help. I mentioned to the sommelier, Noah, that the back and front of the house had a bit to learn about customer experience. He inquired about our experience and promptly had us moved indoors. Noah checked in with us throughout the evening, and he was actually the restaurant's saving grace. The initial server had no opinions or personality. Noah helped us with wine recommendations and food recommendations. He wanted to ensure we enjoyed Hippo. Bravo, Noah! They all responded once Noah informed the team that we were not excited about eating next to the extra furniture beside the power box in the alley. Our new server inside was exceptional. He knew the menu well, made excellent recommendations, and helped create a memorable experience. We started with the spectacular griddl'd cauliflower, cauliflower "tahini," with walnut raisin caper relish. We also ordered the shaved Brussels Sprouts with toasted almonds, mint, lemon, and parmigiano reggiano. We enjoyed the Brussels Sprouts, too. Entrees included our server recommendations, semolina artisanal fresh bucatini, guanciale, tomato, red onion & chile flake, griddl'd sea scallops, with cool onion soy vinaigrette, radish, cilantro & garden lettuces and grilled chicken thighs, aji panca, griddl'd potatoes & arugula. They all had excellent flavors, texture, and we were satisfied. We finished the meal with a cappuccino. My recommendation is to eat inside where there is a better ambiance. COVID is over to the front of the house; clean up the alley and make it more representative of the restaurant's culinary reputation. Also, please give me more California Cab cab selections. Again, thank you, Noah.

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!
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
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.
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.
