My friend and I have been going there for at least 15 years to celebrate our birthdays and it's always excellent. We even had to do take out one time which was just a great.

My impressions of this evening could have made a great short story...I remember MacArthur Park as "the place" for dinner - the building literally pulsated when you walked in. It used to be standing room only at the bar and the waiters were sharp and quick witted. Tonight we were one of 3 tables seated by the fireplace because the heater was broken. It was if we had entered an old abandon restaurant in a small forgotten town, and the servers rattled around the floor attemping to wait on us. Despite the fact that there were only 3 tables, the service was mediocre at best. The food was worse than the ambiance and service. We ordered the ravioli and it came out of the kitchen a nearly flourencent green color and was sickenly heavy with cream. The seafood dishes at our table were equally heavy and filling -not lighly grilled and delicately seasoned as I had remembered. The pumpkin cheese cake tasted like wallpaper paste. The only redeeming item of the evening was the crab cake appetizers! My advice is to STAY AWAY - in this economy, you need to feel as if you are recieving value for your dollars and there is no value here!!

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants to go to to celebrate a special occasions. I went here for my birthday last year and not only was the food as wonderful as ever but they even let us stay after the restaurant closed to finish our celebration. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an elegant place to enjoy wonderful food, great service, and family/friends.
