Reviews for Scratch|Bar & Kitchen in Encino, CA
I’ve been here three times, the first two times where phenomenal. So good I purchase a bunch of gift cards last year to... support them during covid. It’s with such disappointment I write this. Went last night to Pasta Bar. First off, only two ofthe 10 courses had any pasta in them?!! And honestly, I would never want to eat any of the plates again. None sparked myinterest or taste buds. Additionally I was incredibly sick all night after the meal. Very saddened that a $600+ dinner was sucha let down… Read more
Wow... That was a real culinary experience. The chefs & entire staff are very passionate about their job and it shows. Every... dish was beautifully plated & delicious. Dinner was composed of about 10 small plates & 4 (yes 4) small desert dishes. Tinyportions but at the end of the evening I was full and very satisfied. Read more
If you are looking for an exciting, unique and exquisite restaurant than this is it!the experience is like no other. You will... enjoy carefully crafted cocktails and appetizers before being taken into a small but beautiful kitchen where the main dishes areserved. Every single dish is served and explained by the chef which gives it that extra beautiful detail. Flavors of the foodare very exotic and for adventurous people. We were accommodated with our small baby and warmly greeted. Overall is a greatexperience, definitely a dinner to remember. Read more
What a truly amazing and unique dining experience! At first, my husband and I were a little perplexed. Upon arriving at the... restaurant, we thought we were at the wrong location! There was no signage on the door, and the blinds were closed. It took us awhile, but we finally spotted the doorbell, rang it, and was immediately greeted by the maitre de. He then sat us at the bar,and this was where our food adventure began. They started us off with a few small bites along with a couple of cocktailpairings. Wow. We knew we were in for a great night! Each mouthful was bursting in flavour! Needless to say, this really whettedour appetites, and we were so excited for what else was to come! Some of the bites included torched scallops with caviar, blacktruffle meringues, and chicharrons with salmon roe. After that, we moved into the dining room where again, we sat at a bar, butthis time facing an open kitchen. Our very own Chef's Table experience! It was incredible to be able to observe the workings ofa highly trained, and well organized team. Every person had a very specific role in the kitchen. It was absolutely amazing towatch! Each dish was meticulously and beautifully plated. And the food itself was extremely innovative, thoughtful and mostimportantly, delicious! The highlights for me were the mussel with avocado and uni shooter, spot prawn, cuttlefish with bruleedsweet potatoes, corn and caviar, and the cheese ice cream. As each plate was presented, the chefs really took the time toexplain how all the ingredients were prepared and the inspiration behind them. Coming in, I didn't know what to expect, and Iwas completely blown away. Definitely well worth the price! Read more
The experience is worth trying, for once at least. They have a 21 course menu, crafted carefully from, literally, scratch! There... are 2 rooms 1) the bar room, where you try your first few dishes and drinks. 2) the kitchen room, where you try the rest of themenu. Later, you go back to the bar room to have one final drink. Read more
My wife and I were able to dine here last night for our 7 year anniversary. We wanted to have a special dinner and we were not... disappointed at all! The cocktails they served during the bar phase of the meal were a nice surprise. My wife who is not a fanof alcoholic drinks really enjoyed these. We had such a good time talking to the staff and enjoyed all the food. Each course wasunique and brought something new to the table. The whole experience was amazing. They say, "pictures are worth a thousandwords", so i'll let the photos I took do the talking. We look forward to coming back. Read more
Amazing. Pricey, but very well worth every penny. I ate here with my girlfriend during DineLA and we enjoyed every single dish.... Since everything there is hand made from scratch, I don't think there's anything I've yet in LA that compares. You shoulddefinitely check this place out. Read more
The sushi was probably some of the best I ever had (and I am a big sushi person). The experience was wonderful as well. Very... intimate, personal, and great! Wish I had taken pictures of the experience. Everyone was nice and made the experience that muchmore enjoyable. Read more
