Title: Gorgeous architecture and superb food

Review:

No matter how hungry you are, your eyes will not fail to devour the gorgeous art deco architecture of the old haberdashery-turned-Cicada Restaurant in downtown LA. We had the pleasure of dining early enough to enjoy an uncrowded ambience, but even if the room had been packed, the acoustics would have accommodated comfortable conversation. My dover sole was the best I had had in ages. We were additionally honored by having it served by the owner himself. Our waitress was attentive without hovering and the busboys did not grab at our plates the minute we paused for a break. This place is comfortable, gorgeous and the food is superb!

Title: A Terrible Experience

Review:

I made reservations for our company’s executives and executives from a well known chain restaurant at Cicada and was terribly disappointed by the food, and especially the service. We were a table of nine people and there were two other tables of four people and we almost had to beg to get waited on. We sat down and was given our menus, and for at least 15 minutes the waiter did not come back, although a couple of us at the table waved our hands to get his attention, but he was busy chatting with the bartender. I finally went to the hostess who was also chatting on the phone and asked to get some service. She said okay, but kept on chatting on the phone! Finally, when the waiter came over he asked to take our orders, and I asked him if we could have some drinks first, and it was only then when he took our drink orders. When he did take our orders, we asked what he would suggest on the menu and named almost everything on the menu and was very flippant about his suggestions ... Full Review

Title: My husband's 50th was made a success

Review:

The restaurant is gorgeous. I planned a night out for my husband's 50th birthday and the staff made the night very special. We ordered the tasting menu and were really amazed at the artful care taken with each dish. Our waiter was very attentive and knew it was a special occasion without the two of us saying a word. He gave us a very detailed account of the history of the building and all of the beautiful art-deco architecture. It was a feast for the eyes as well as the pallet . Thank you for a great night..

Title: Highly Overrated

Review:

What a huge disappointment! We were a large party of 8 and the service was HORRIBLE! I finally had to find a manager to get some service. 1.5 hours from the time we walked in to get our menus, and that was only after I asked. I have had better salads at McDonald's. The lettuce in the ceasar salad appeared that it had come from the bottom of the bag and they were trying to stretch it. Cicada had one bottle of Cabernet under $100.00 and I was told they were 'out' of that one and was bumped to a $110.00 bottle. With eight people it got to be a bit much. The main course was acceptable, however not at all fantastic nor did it even come close to the glowing ratings from this website. By the time the food arrived it was hot however by then my party was tired of waiting for the food. I have had better veal chops at Carrabba's (a chain) in Houston. We were not offered any complementary drinks or dessert. This was a Wednesday night and the place was not even half full. I am not sure what ... Full Review

Title: Great bread & veggie food too

Review: I am always interested in great food and restaurants that take vegetarians just as seriously as others. Cicada has delicious Italian food for both veggies and non-veggies, and their bread basket contains a wonderfully wide selection of fresh, tasty breads that are served immediately after you're seated. Good, friendly service, too. Portion sizes not huge, but just enough.
