"Fabulous food in a stunning interior!! What I really cannot wrap my head around is why over all these years I have not come here sooner even though Checker Hall is absolutely within my immediate neighborhood. Located on the second floor, next to the Lodge Room (used for concerts and other venues), the restaurant has an adorable interior and atmosphere. Service knowledgeable. But really, the food was exceptionally good and fabulously blended various flavors with a touch of spiciness. The whipped feta is a must, the halloumi fatoush was priceless, I loved the cauliflower, and the branzino could not have been more tender and juicy, it was perfect. Couldn’t resist the delicious dessert (pot de crème), and … in contrast to Bestia or the Wife and the Somm, Checker Hall has a tasty expresso to round up the experience. (OpbmoY)"

"I will be coming back to this place. Great location if you’re wanting to show people around from out of town, or dine out in style with inspiring flavors! Everything we had was incredibly delicious! 1) Whipped feta was so creamy and the pita hot and soft. Delightful appetizer to the point where we asked them to leave the dish so we could sop up all the remnants of feta 😂 2) Hallumi salad - refreshing, savory, beautiful 3) Beef Kafta - so tender and flavorful 4) Chicken Schnitzel - A TABLE FAVORITE ❤️ comes with salads and slaw to top off and 3 sauces that tasted excellent when combined altogether. 5) Mussels with Thai coconut flavors - THIS WAS MY FAVORITE ❤️ could have enjoyed more of this buttery toasted bread with the sauce all night 6) Japanese Sweet potatoes - carmelized crisp parts were incredible. Slight kick and zest to it - ALSO A FAVORITE 7) Pork Belly with picked radish Parking was easy in the metered lot across the street $0.80/hr (what a steal in LA) and free 2hr street parking available as well on the side street. Definitely coming back and thought it would make an excellent gift for someone too! Oh and Sundays and Mondays they had a jazz pianist with an upright bassist. It was perfect ambiance for dinner conversation with friends!"

"Consistently the best dining experience in LA. I’ve been to Checker for every special occasion and regular occasion since 2022. I was making yet another reservation and realized I’m way overdue for a review! It just hits on every level. The food only gets better as they iterate on the menu, the atmosphere is perfect at every time of day, the staff is great. They just nail it. It doesn’t get old. Huge thank you for all the amazing experiences, cheers to many more!"

"EXCELLENT vegan options - truly plant based craft mastery! Kudos to the executive chef & all who worked to create such delicious vegan food!"

"Absolutely a must! From the moment we arrived to the very end everything lined up! We felt so welcomed, everyone was friendly, and the food is delicious! 30 something years ago I had my 15añera at this location, it was a banquet hall. Now more than 3 decades later I'm celebrating my birthday but now it's this really adorable restaurant! It felt so cozy and with so much holiday vibe. The memories that came back as we sat on the beautiful balcony eating such wonderful yummy food and the best service by Gabe was definitely a reason to return!!"
