The Nice Guy Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
Heard about this place with my family.
Food looked really good, but as soon as we got there, the hostess staff seemed overwhelmed with everything, didn't get seated on time, and the place was overly loud. A shame that the staff wasn't better organized and the place wasn't more quiet.
Worst meal of my life.
We ordered the shrimp scampi to start and was completely obliterated with salt. I ordered the chicken parm and my girlfriend ordered the rigatoni bolognese for entre. The bolognese came out and was SO SALTY you couldn't even eat it. You can tell that the flavors are there but the overpowering salt completely kills your palette. We sent the bolognese back and asked for less salt. They re-served it and it was again completely inedible. The service was great, but the food was over salted and inedible. When we got the bill, the charged us for the bolognese. Worst dinner of my life. Will never come back. SIDE NOTE: sat next to the bar and the entire time smelled like sulfur and rotten eggs. DO NOT sit anywhere near the bar.
Trust the 3.
1 reviews. The food was fine, nothing exceptional. The atmosphere was just too dark. Too dark to see my food, like they were hiding something. When I got the bill, there was a hidden 8% "entertainment fee". When I asked about it the server said, "I just work here..." I really don't want to drop $200+ on a dinner for two just to be nickel and dimed on junk fees. Thought California changed the law, but exceptions still must apply and places are taking advantage.

Came here for an event and it was fun no doubt! I did not try any food but they had good drinks and many libations to choose from. The service is really nice and it was no hassle to get in! It's known to be upscale but not really a strict dress code. It definitely was a good time here and nice for a lounge to have fun and celebrate. It's really dark inside and not that spacious, but not too bad. I will come back here for sure to try the food! I was able to park on the street! -Marshay D.
Came here as a pre-show dinner before Largo.
It's a good date spot, very dark, cool vibe. The service was really good. My companion has a lot of dietary restrictions and the server was extremely kind and patient with checking on the make up of dishes she wasn't sure about and recommending others so we could have a good experience. My order got messed up (lobster pasta that somehow didnt have any lobster in it) but they more than made it up to me and were very apologetic. Mistakes happen. The food was good and came out quick. I will definitely come back here next time I go to Largo!
I was apprehensive about coming here after reading some of
I was apprehensive about coming here after reading some of the reviews but we had an amazing experience. The food was incredible and the hostess and waitress were very nice and helpful. They had an amazing atmosphere, complete with live music. I could not have chosen a better place to celebrate my graduation!
First time trying this restaurant on a recommendation, and
First time trying this restaurant on a recommendation, and it was fantastic! We tried 4 different cocktails that were all great & the truffle pizza was delicious. The atmosphere is swanky and at the same time cozy, and the service was top notch!
It's very dim inside and the food is overpriced and
It's very dim inside and the food is overpriced and mediocre at best. It's a simple spot, I believe this is a place for having small meetings or intimate gatherings, maybe even a date but it's not my first choice.
Loved the ambiance and everything about this place EXCEPT
Loved the ambiance and everything about this place EXCEPT the drinks on the menu are premixed so you can't make substitutions! Your not allowed to take any photos not of yourself or your food and to be specific with the flash on but if you've been you KNOW you need the flash to see anything because it's extremely dark inside, they make you use their Photo Booth which is free but still! And most of the dinner options don't come with sides when apparently they used to! I never leave reviews but wanted to post updated menu pages because the ones posted prior to mines are obsolete.. your welcome
The only thing good was the food , which wasn't great but
The only thing good was the food , which wasn't great but good. It was very very dim inside which I wasn't expecting, so if you have trouble seeing in dark environments this place isn't the place for you . We went for my aunts birthday and wanted to take pictures and videos .... Don't even think about it . The staff immediately came to our table to let us know that pictures and videos were not allowed in their establishment. I didn't get it but , rules are rules I suppose . Also if you get one of their signature mixed cocktails ... you absolutely cannot substitute or modify the signature drinks ... apparently they are all pre-batched so what you see listed in the drink description is what you get .I can honestly and confidently say that I have no desire to return and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone .
Went here for my friend's birthday.
The pros: food was out of this world. I didn't know what to expect but every bite was immaculate. We ordered three plates of Molinari's Meatballs (shouldve gotten 4 omg SO GOOD), the Kale Salad (amazing), mushroom and pepperoni pizza (the mushroom especially was a hit but both were great), the oxtail ragu (great), the Australian Swordfish (was a favorite of the birthday girl but I thought it ok). For drinks, I had the Cent'anni which I loved even though i'm usually a sweet drink girl. My second drink I had the Foggy Memories after tasting my friend's and lovinggg it. For dessert the birthday girl got the cookies and milk, which I thought were ok. They did put a candle on the plate which was nice. There's a makeshift Photo Booth (iPad, a ring light, and a curtain) in the back near the restrooms, so make sure you get your photos! The cons: we had a reservation for 7 people and they didn't seat us until an hour and a half after the reservation time. And there wasn't enough room for us at the bar so only 2 out of the 7 could sit while we waited. The drinks were good and the bartenders were nice. But again this reservation was for a birthday so it was pretty upsetting. No apologies or discounts offered due to their lack of proper time management either. Once we were finally sat we received our food quickly. Verdict: 5 stars for food. 2 stars for organization / haughty atmosphere. Definitely go, but don't go for special occasions / on a night when you have to be elsewhere after dinner.
Nice date spot before a show at the Largo or a night on the
Nice date spot before a show at the Largo or a night on the town. Come for the ambiance and service: Dirty martini was on point and easy listening/Motown soundtrack in the background made for a classy, relaxing vibe. Kennedy was a terrific server and took really good care of us--great recommendation on the meatballs!
Definitely an LA scene.
.. yummmy scampi, didn't care for the burger once I saw what my friends ordered... my fault for not sticking to just Italian specialties! I wish it was a little brighter to see the meal, menu etc. They do bring a small light though.
Went before our show at the Largo! Great ambiance, felt
Went before our show at the Largo! Great ambiance, felt very Hollywood chic with the dimmed lights and decor. Didnt feel pretentious and server was extremely nice. Got pizza and pasta which were both a bit mediocre. Worth it if you are in the area.
First time there and went with my wife.
We had a wonderful experience - the food was delicious and the service provided by Kennedy was amazing. This place lives up to the hype. Would happily go again.
As someone who has been to The Nice Guy, let me tell you it
As someone who has been to The Nice Guy, let me tell you it is worth it. Let's start off by saying how delicious the food is. They are an Italian Cuisine fancy restaurant. Italian is one of my favorite cuisines so I was glad this is what they serve. The food here is a solid 8.5/10 The service here is great! If you're impatient for the wait for your food like I am luckily they have a Photo Booth where you can take pictures with your friends! Lastly my favorite the ambiance. The ambiance is a dark and gold beautiful design that's so fancy and cool. One thing I would change about this place is the size because it is really small but that's alright! Also be sure not to take any pictures unless it's in the photo booth because this restaurant is an HWood Property.
I have nothing bad to say about this place! That's a first
I have nothing bad to say about this place! That's a first for me. Everything about this experience was impeccable. Since the moment we arrived to the moment we left. It's fun, hip and most importantly it is discreet. It's on the pricier end but it's LA, what else do you expect. We ordered drinks ( lemon drop & the jojo) they were amazing and strong, if you are a light weight I think you shouldn't have more than one drink. That's how strong they are. As for food, we had the garlic bread which was amazing the marinara was perfect! Followed by the caccio de Pepe pasta, a bit of spice but I enjoyed it. Lastly the margarita pizza was perfect! The crust was fluffy with a bit of crisp and everything tasted so fresh! There was not a long wait on our food, the waiters were attentive and the vibe was IT. I'm not famous, but I sure did feel famous. We will definitely be back!
Vibes and drinks are good but the food is average and not
Vibes and drinks are good but the food is average and not worth the price. Good for drinks before going to the largo but wouldn't recommend for anything else.
My visit to Nice Guy LA was an absolute delight from start
My visit to Nice Guy LA was an absolute delight from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who provided exceptional service throughout my entire meal. The ambiance was cozy yet sophisticated, creating the perfect atmosphere for a memorable dining experience. The menu offered a tantalizing array of options, and every dish I tried was executed to perfection. The flavors were well-balanced, and each bite was a culinary delight. I will definitely be back!
This place is a staple in the neighborhood and is delicious
This place is a staple in the neighborhood and is delicious every single time we go. The vibe is immaculate. The menu is perfect. The food is incredible. And the service is just as good.
Not so Nice Guy
Made a booking here whilst on holiday, it was a very hot day and we queued outside to get in, the staff member on the door pointed out that even though we were dressed up, the fact that my husband was wearing smart shorts would a problem, and they would need to check if he could be "allowed" inside. Everyone in front of us in the queue turned around and looked down at his smart dressy shorts. It was hugely embarrassing. After being asked to stand to one side, we were soon informed that we could come inside but only if we were seated on the patio. We said okay, and were led to what looked like a shed with high fences and completely hidden from anything in sight. Our view was a table on a patio and high fences in very small area. The waitress was very nice when I informed her that we had changed our minds, and that we would like to leave. To say we felt shunned was an understatement and in a progressive time where men and women can wear things like miniskirts and heels, we were gobsmacked that smart designer suit shorts are not permitted on such a hot day. We got an "outdated and out of touch" vibe from this place. Also - it's pitch black inside so if you're in a hurry to get out its hard to find the door.
Dark and food has potential
Before going, I read the reviews and knew to expect a dark atmosphere yet I was not prepared for how dark it really was. It was uncomfortably dark. So dark that you couldn't enjoy the atmosphere. Food was DELICIOUS. We didn't get any entree's but got 5 different appetizers. The were all REALLY good ..... BUT they were not hot. They were just tepid. I felt as though they were already prepared and sitting around then tossed under the heat lamp or in the salamander for a moment before being sent out to the table. They did come out suspiciously quick which reinforces my belief that these were not made to order. I would have rather had a little more time to sit and enjoy our drinks before our food came. I think we were in and out in less than 45 minutes.

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!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
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.
