I wish I had better things to say, but after the experience we received, I am not inclined to come back. Nighthawk Breakfast Bar hosted a pop-up dinner experience with a popular chef. My friends and I (4 of us total) bought tickets to the event as a birthday celebration. A dinner menu curated by a popular cook in beautiful Venice Beach...what could be a better birthday gift? Unfortunately, the general operations and staff at Nighthawk made this an uncomfortable experience. Despite requiring us to select a reservation time (7:15pm) when purchasing tickets for the event, we waited over an hour before we were seated (close to 8:30pm). We checked on our table 3 times and each time the hostess directed us to wait outside until we were called. They were not able to send us a text when our table was ready, and they also had no waiting area for customers. There were several 2-person and 4-person parties that had a 7:45pm reservation that were seated before us. By this time, the chef who curated the menu and their family intervened to help communicate with Nighthawk staff to get us our table. As compensation for the lengthy wait time, we were offered additional plates. When we asked our server, she was (understandably) surprised and had asked the event staff to speak with us...but not without gossiping about our table to several of her coworkers. Needless to say, all the staring eyes made my friends and me extremely uncomfortable and we were VERY ready to leave. Ultimately, while the food was delicious and the opportunity to meet this popular chef is invaluable, it does not outweigh the treatment we received and the experience we had. I will not be back.
