Hal's Bar & Grill

Pasta is great! The pasta is chewy. Thick and delicious cheese combined with a bit spicy make the taste rich.

This is the perfect place for a date or night out with the girls. This posh restaurant is made up of intimate tables for two surronded by a pair of tall stools, or round cozy booths where you can get comfortable. It was full of well-dressed young professionals sipping beers and martinis and sharing communal appetizers. I had a wonderful dinner with a good friend, though next time I plan to order something different. I stayed simple with their salmon dish with mashed potatoes and spinach- though it was tasty, it was overpriced for the measly piece of fish. However, my friend loved her combination of delectable tomato soup and a vibrant beet salad. Her dishes were reasonably priced (costing less than $20 for both generous sized dishes) and delicious down to the last bite.

On a sunny LA Day, which has been far too many to count, you really can’t beat patio seating and bottomless mimosas. Primitivo offered the best of both worlds! The outdoor patio in the back is truly a refreshing place to dine. My friend was quick to point out the lush horticulture that occupied the center of the covered patio area. If given the option I would certainly recommend the outdoor seating over the inside. I went on a Saturday for the bottomless mimosas which are served from 11:00am-3pm. Seems like a large window of time, but the ambiance will have the time fly by fast. We stayed well past the last call because we were so enthralled in our conversation. Great place to sip and enjoy the day which may lead into evening... I was ambivalent when it came to the food options, not because nothing seemed delicious, but because everything sparked my interest. I was torn between the Bread Pudding French Toast (Brioche, berry maple syrup, vanilla bean whipped cream) , the Spanish Paella(Organic Chicken, tiger shrimp, black mussels, chorizo, peas) and the Poached Egg and Avocado (Grilled focaccia, avocado spread, marinated cherry tomatoes). I ended up getting the Poached Egg and Avocado which was served with the yummy Patatas Bravas. It was certainly tasty for those who love poached egg. Above all else it was very filling. I literally scrapped my plate clean it was that damn tasty! I would also recommend both the BPFT and Spanish Paella. My friend got the BPFT and was in love and the Spanish Paella ignited the whole patio and a delicious aroma every time someone ordered it…..!!! Above all else and what really makes this a 5 star place is the customer service. The customer service here was superb! Our waitress was fantastic, ever-so-patient and very informative. She was also very accommodating with the menu, if there was something we didn't like about the dish she didn't hesitate to offer a substitution free of charge. Also when my friend didn't like her food she was nice enough to remove it from the bill no questions ask. Really amazing service where you can tell they care about their customers. We also were fortunate to meet the owner Jimmy who was super sweet. You could really tell he really took pride in his business. Overall great place for brunch! Bottomless mimosas ($15) – Check VIP Bike Parking in Front – Check Amazing Patio- Check Excellent Customer Service – Double Check

We ordered a whole selection of plates to share around our group of 7, everything was excellent! Special mention to the char, Brussels sprouts and scallops. Lovely atmosphere.

$15 for bottomless red/white sangria & mimosas on weekends from 11 - 3pm. Generous and delicious portions. Overall, it's a solid place and a short walk to the beach which is a defendant must
