Went for the $20 smash burger. It was one of the best hamburgers I've ever had, but watching the show at the counter of how they cook the massive steaks and mashed potatoes definitely convinces me to go back.

For a top steakhouse, we were sorely disappointed. Steak didn't come out at the right temperature, and we had to send it back... twice! After that, once it was closer (but still not right), it was incredibly gamey. Not beefy as dry aged steak should be, but gamey. And after it all, they still charged us for the steak ($220+)! To say this was a letdown would be an understatement. We will not be back.

The ambiance is nice, but the food and service are not up to the prices the restaurant is asking. I didn't try the steak; maybe that's the main course and the only valuable thing to try.

Nancy has done it again! Sitting at the counter was key to experiencing the delicious Smashburger (if In-and-Out and Crack had a baby) and also getting a front-row seat to watching the grill masters at work.

There is soooooo much oil in everything. The Basque Cheesecake and Chocolate Banana Gelato were fantastic, neither was too sweet.

Exceptional dining experience! The dishes were beautifully presented and delicious. The bone marrow and meat pie was to die for! The service was impeccable from start to finish, warm and friendly atmosphere. I enjoyed every bite of my meal, and the staff were attentive without being overbearing.

Prosciutto, foraccia and rillettes de canard were exceptional, all with a flare specific to this restaurant. And the steak was perfection--the temperature, the texture, as well as the flavor. Thank you.

Make sure to ask questions, as the menu looks small but features some very distinct items. Get the smaller steak. Yes, it's still big but you and your eating buddy can finish it. We loved sitting at the counter. Everything was !
Fantastic service the apps, bread, and sides were great. We were not impressed with the porterhouse especially at that price point, it was just ok.

What else can I say? Service was exceptional!!! Hands down we'd the most attentive and charming server. He gave perfect wine and food recommendations and was smart! I lovw the intimate ambience. I ordered the branzino and my former had the squid. We both devoured our meal. The gelato tasted like a cold BACI chocolate. Yummm!

We had the squash blossoms, chicken pie, cauliflower and cheesecake. The rose was also very enjoyable. The starter and main were great, with depth of flavor and generous portion size. We didn't love the cheesecake, but it wasn't bad - just not for us. We sat at the counter which turned out to be super entertaining and enjoyable. Nancy was around, circulating the kitchen. Very happy to have chosen Chi Spacca.

Had a wonderful time. Great wine choices. Food was superb, but a little pricey. Definitely can find same quality of food for less in LA, but I still highly recommend this fun and happening restaurant. If you like great food, great wine, and LA hip restaurants...this place should be on your hit list.

The focaccia was literally covered in oil. Same with the leeks. The onion rings were a greasy mess and the pork chops were all fat. This was a dining experience unparalleled to any other. The price tag was over $300 for 2 adults and 1 child without alcohol nor desert. Big thumbs down.
