My cousin said he liked this place so we came to check it out for dinner.
The menu is not too big which I think is great. No shortcuts.
The space is great. Love the vibe and the decor. The bar looks sick.
Pat the bartender makes very good drinks. Top notch Manhattan.
The pizza was fantastic! Pappardelle was lovely. Salumi and cheese board was great. The oysters were also very good, and had a good flavor.
The staff was really friendly and welcoming.
Cat was very good. Very nice place but chill and casual vibe.
Would definitely recommend it.

My wife and I enjoyed dinner at Kettle Black by accident. By accident, I mean we were hungry and driving down Sunset Boulevard. We saw a few people waiting and decided to give it a try.
Our dinner was excellent. We shared a cheese board ($17), and both enjoyed it very much. My wife ordered garlic bread ($7). The bread at Kettle Black is unique and very tasty; thick but airy…really good!
We both ordered meatballs ($14) for dinner and they were about the best that I have ever had. I compare Italian food to my mother’s and Kettle Black’s meatballs beat my mom’s. The meatballs also come with bread to dip in the excellent sauce.
We were both full but ordered two deserts: Budino ($10) and cannoli ($9). Both were great.
Service was excellent. Baleigh was our server, but several others brought dishes to our table
.
The restaurant is somewhat noisy, but I guess that is the style today. Valet parking was the only option and was $9.
We live in Orange County. If we were closer we would certainly return soon!
Great brunch spot that’s not overcrowded in Sunset Junction. Good quality food - like the Quinoa Bowl, (offer gluten free options) and nice ambience.
Really loved this place.. Great food, and if you come between 5pm and 7pm, you'll get some good happy hour goodies. Can strongly recommend.
The restaurant was pretty busy when we went (and had no reservations) but seeing as we had no other plans, we didn't mind waiting. We ordered one of the pizzas- which I thought was pretty good & the drinks were really well made and delicious.
Great place to eat and drink. Unfortunately, it’s closed for renovations until March 2020 (maybe?). Could not find and exact date and had to ask valet
You can however still order food from here via Postmates and Caviar.
Service is great and the pasta is delicious. Nice ambience as well.
First time coming here for brunch. Amazing breakfast bowl which is very appropriately priced and filling. Would come back again for brunch.
Delightful cocktails, excellent food, and extremely prompt service. Had a fantastic time!
Happy hour Monday-Friday 5pm-7pm has $8 sip and slice pizza deal. Worth checking out this place, it's a steal price for a lot of items -- affordable happy hour, drinks and snacking place. Love the atmosphere and plan to visit for dinner next time.
Found this place via Hooch phone app and got $1 Gin cocktail with invite 'free'. Surprisingly great Gin cocktail! Excellent service. Came here for quick snack and sip. They have outdoor and indoor seating.
Decent Italian with some great options. The pasta and risotto are the real standouts. Tried the vegan pizza but was disappointing and dry. Lots of great wine and beer options and good service. The place isn’t cheap but worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking for a nice lunch or dinner spot.
The food and drinks were good! We were celebrating a birthday but sadly... we couldn’t wait to leave. I am a veteran of the restaurant industry - I did feel for them but I will say... it was just poor planning as they were entirely understaffed for a Saturday night. The food was delicious though despite the wait but such a popular spot could probably afford to have a second bartender for the service well and a barback there to help start building drinks. The only reason they didn’t get 5 stars was because, sadly, we didn’t really get service. I’d still give them a second try... maybe during the week when it isn’t as busy.
I'm a return customer and will continue to be. Solid staff, great cocktail selections, fresh food from a menu of Italian staples (pasta, thin crust pizza), bright, open space (even has a handful of tables out front on the patio). Check out the happy hour too.
I have to say, I can’t wait to be back in LA to get my experience at Kettle Black. I make it a stop each I visit LA, even if I am here for 24h, I stop by kettle Black, even when I work on the opposite side of town, I make it to Kettle Black. Why?
Because it is simply an outstanding restaurant and bar, with a very well thought menu and excellent chef! The pizza are great, the appetizers are original and delicious, the main plates are renewed frequently and the bar selection is world class. I am a world traveler and it’s hard to find a place that have it all. Kettle Black does!
Excellent craft cocktails and strong happy hour menu.
Squid ink pasta special was pretty great! Bit, two entrees and a hunk of cake was over $50, and we didn't even get drinks. So it's good, but on the expensive side of reasonable. Worth a try anyway.
