    It’s a lovely place, great ambience. But if you have an allergy or you are sensitive to garlic it’s a problem. Most of the dishes have garlic and last night it was hard to get the waitress to go talk to the chef and ask just to grill my fish with no garlic and not to add any sauce . The waitress was very nice, they finally agreed not to add garlic to my food. There are other options around the area for dinner if you are going to Disney Hall or Music Center.

    I chose Asterid based on my search for restaurants in walking distance from The Dorothy Chandler Theater, where we were attending a 2pm show. No one in my party had ever eaten at Asterid. We had a 5:15pm reservation, we were seated promptly. The service was great, the ambiance was really nice, and the food was superb! The chicory salad, risotto, and the roasted chicken were chef’s kiss delicious! Fantastic experience!
