Five stars based on the chicken entre. Wow. It was such a surprise how delicious it was, everyone else loved what they ordered too. I guess I came in without high expectations, for no particular reason really, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, the portions, and the flavors. Nothing was overdone or over seasoned, which seems to be a common problem in Italian restaurants. This was very nice?The dining room was too warm for my liking, a bit uncomfortable, but the bar was cool, so an air distribution problem maybe.

Food was reaaaaally good, but the service and ambience were amazing. I had the tagliatelle bolognese and really enjoyed it, but the bruschetta with burrata and tomatoes made my day ✨?

Long time customer of Blairs, always been a favorite. Now there's a new chef and some new dishes and it's great! Love what he's doing. Definitely check it out.

The location and ambiance of this place is so great for locals here but just sad the food does not live up. Way overpriced for what it is. The burger was good. The salad was good. Pasta meh. Maybe they need to refine/focus the menu a bit. If the food was a bit better and prices more affordable, this could easily turn into a regular go to spot. Oh and service is always painstakingly slow for some reason. Nice staff but something is very inefficient.

Friendly neighborhood spot with quality food and competent service. Dimly lit, intimate atmosphere that remained relatively quiet during our meal despite being busy. Fun, curiosity-inspiring wine list. Ridiculously delicious kale side dish. A great dinner spot.

A nice place to dine. There's eating, grubbing, chowing down, having drinks, munching . . . and then there's dining. To me, that's a Blair's in Silverlake experience.I do miss the trout. And the cauliflower. These ingredients aren't really impacted species nor are in short supply, so why these beloved dishes were stricken from the record, I do not know. Tonight I tried the sea bass. Good char flavor, but a bit dry, and heavily capered, which left the dish overly briny. The salted butter was not well mixed either, so you either got a mouthful of salt or none at all. (Taste your food chef!)Service was pleasant, albeit generic. I didn't feel chaperoned through my shaky choices, redundant order was perfunctorily accepted. For example: arugula salad + sea bass = a lot of similarly seasoned and textured greens. It might have been suggested something with more varied texture, but alas.The red wine was served cold - and lacked depth that comes with a decent temperature, especially on a chilly evening. I did find joy in the arugula Caesar salad and some bites of the sea bass. They've also discontinued serving hot beverages. (Read: no coffee after dinner). An omen of a downward spiraling civilization - perhaps I'm a bit dramatic. It would have finished off the meal properly .Overall, though the effort felt solidly "dialed-in", it was still a nice dining experience - though it could have easily and with minimal effort, been nicer.
Nice environment, food didn’t hit! Tagliatelle bolognese was too salty. The pizza was very thick and hearty, maybe it was an off night. Service was nice and it was about $70 a person. French fries were good.
This is has been our favorite restaurant, bar none. Phenominal pasta, delicious pizza, great burgers, salads to crave. The staff are prompt and nice. Dog friendly (outside) as well. We come here often!

Food is fairly solid, but a bit high on the prices. Star of the show was certainly the bread and meatballs - both tasty! Would come back if in the area, but certainly not the best Italian in the city we've had at the price point.

The dinner experience this evening was amazing. The patio seating is designed in such a way to create a neighborly vibe. The items on the menu are exquisite. Nick has such a warm and welcoming energy. He took his time answering questions regarding several items on the menu. His poetic explanation for the dishes brought them to life. We enjoyed the market salad, meatballs and polenta for appetizers. The main dishes Jidori roasted chicken and Gnocchetti were delicious. The chef married the ingredients for these dishes to perfection. The staff is very friendly and down to earth. Very cool vibe.
