Reviews for Black Market Liquor Bar - Studio City Restaurant - Brunch | in Studio City, CA

I was here for brunch on a weekend and it was amazing! The food was delicious, and our group really enjoyed ordering several... things and sharing, so all of us got to sample more of the menu. The cocktails were also lovely and unique. Our server wascheerful and attentive, and gave us time to try each dish before the next one came out, so we weren't overwhelmed with all thedishes at once. Plus, the curved ceiling and general decor was cozy and stylish. One of the best places I've tried in LA! Read more

I was surprised in a disappointing way. He menu looks amazing, but the execution just isn't there. We spent more than $100... without drinks and left hungry. And the food was just alright. Not horrible, but definitely not worth the cost. We ordered theshort rib hash, which was $35 and it was tiny, plus wasn't a hash, it was short rib on top of mashed potatoes. We also orderedthe chicken and waffles (which has a 25 minute lead time) and what arrived was a whole Cornish game hen that was fried like asoftshell crab. I will day the physical space is lovely. I'm sure it's great for pricey drinks. Read more

Good food and drinks. I love the environment and I’m a frequent visitor. Only complaint I had was the wait. There were a lot... of clean and empty tables (including our table) and they had us wait standing outside for approx 30 mins to be seated. They’renot the only restaurant that I’ve seen do this. I don’t see any explanation for this, but perhaps there was a staff/servershortage? Other than that, once we were seated, food drinks and service were all excellent. I subtracted 3 stars mainly becauseof the experience upon entry. It can be a mood killer. Read more

Love this place. As soon as you walk in you fall in love with the place from the brick ceiling to the shelving of the alcohol to... the both table with candle light. This place is amazing for any occasion. The food is amazing nothing i tried was a let down.The drinks out of this world. The crew new exactly how to make you feel welcomed. Definitely coming back here. Read more

Atmosphere is very casual and comfortable. The food is very good. The staff is very friendly and professional. The skirt steak... and the sea bass were excellent. Prior to the entrees we had the Brussel sprouts , crispy spring rolls and peel and eat shrimp. All were delicious. You can share small plates among everyone at the table if desired. This was our first time dining here. Wewill definitely return! Read more

We went on Saturday as this place was in my list of restaurants to visit it looked in pics very nice inside, the bar area,... ceiling and fans are very cool, but that's it. The menu for was ok with lack of variety in the main plates so we only orderedsome plates to share. The spicy Korean wings were delicious, the shrimp with aioli were not my favorite way too seasoned and the"aioli" didn't really go with the dish, it would have been better to have a lighter dressing or just a lemon. Mussels were adisappointment, the sauce was way too greasy and heavy (usually we enjoy mussels and dip the bread in the sauce, well this wasnot the case, we both hated it) Service was bad and slow, we were waiting for our drinks and there was a bartender absolutelyenjoying "il dolce far niente", only one guy was really doing his job. Maybe our waiter forgot our order, don't know. We had towait between dishes when we ordered 3 small dishes to share, they didn't bring a clean plate after the messy but deliciousK-wings, had to ask for clean silverware, didn't take the empty glasses on our table. The Strawberry cocktail was reallygood(red hot and unbothered), we ordered 2. The ginger cocktail (son of a beesting) -not my favorite- but the ginger candy wasreally good. Martini was good just as ordered(dirty and extra dry), no martini glasses but in a small glass that when my husbandmoved it to drink it got spilled on the table).The sticky toffee pudding was good. Bill for 3 plates to share, 3 cocktails anddessert $139. My reviews are always based on price, service, food and place/vibe. Won't come back. Read more

Had a really good time at the Black Market. We did a tapas sharing round, and I especially liked the Brussels Sprouts and the... meatballs. Cocktail-wise, the Red Hot was my favorite with a spicy sweet mix. Our waitress Emma was really kind and sweet andhad good chemistry with us, which is always a good thing. Would definitely come back.

Delicious tapas-style restaurant. I’d recommend ordering about 3 plates for 2 people. Small plates packed with unique flavor!... Chicken taquitos are a must have! Great atmosphere, loved the outdoors seating. Quick service and brought out one dish at atime in my case which was excellent so nothing got cold. Pictured: Chi Chi drink (very strong, shareable, and great flavor),chicken bao (delicious), spring rolls (eh), and the chicken taquitos (12/10, one of my favorite dishes I’ve ever had!). Highlyrecommend this place. Read more
