		<description>I'm way late to the game, but the star of this place for me and many others is the carmelized lentils with jambon and onions. It's truly a marvel of a little dish. In general this holds for the Hollywood Blvd location; the location on Beverly Boulevard has grown tired and lost its edge.</description>

		<description>BE WARNED - the maitre d' is a TOTAL jerk and nothing will get me to revisit this place again because of the rude service our party received.

Despite having a reservation for a party of 4, the maitre d' insisted on seating us at a table for two as we were arriving separately to our guests.  When we proceeded to order for the table, the waiter asked where the other two people were going to sit. Our point exactly. He went to speak to the maitre d' but returned shaking his head and apologizing that the maitre d's rudeness has been costing them a lot of  return business.  

When our guests arrived shortly behind us, rather than seating us at the table for four right next to our table, the maitre d' made us all wait whilst he had a crappy, noisy table right by the front door set up to seat four just to make his point. He didn't even have our food and drinks brought over so we had to do that ourselves too.

I will never go back there again! Please do yourselves a favor, go to Dennys , they probably have hostesses with better manners. 

Very unpleasant experience.</description>

		<description>The food is fabulous, had the meatballs, the chickpea cakes, the mussels and the grilled artichokes. 

However, I found the service to be surprisingly bad. While we were promptly seated, there really wasn't one waiter working the table, and when another couple joined us, not one of the four waiters who waited on us stopped by to see if they wanted an order...the worst was being handed our check while still waiting on an entree (without asking for it). When we told the waiter we were waiting on the paella (which while good, the rice used did little for the dish) his response was "well, we have a reservation that we need a table for".

Hire some experienced waiters that are a BIT more tactful.</description>

		<description>loved my experience there a few weeks ago.  went with a party of 8 and we ordered a wide assortment of tapas, including some mentioned (lomo emphucado, the asparagus, the meatballs).  my favorite was a chickpea patty that was similar to a latke, with a honey drizzle, SO GOOD.  
we went through 2 pitchers of sangria (its true: if you eat the fruit, you will get very drunk) and i think it all came out to about $30 per person.  totally reasonable for a weekend night out.</description>

		<description>What exactly do you find "terrible" about C&#38;M? That's a pretty harsh assessment of a place that serves some tasty food. I had tapas in Spain and some were great and some were the most bland dishes I have ever not tasted.

I have a hard time accepting someone trashing a place and making an elitist statement as if the only place tapas could be good is in Spain.</description>

		<description>I can't believe that this place is getting good reviews. C&#38;M is terrible! I suppose that we need to give Arroyo for bringing tapas to our beloved L.A., but anyone who has had tapas in Spain knows that this place is a joke.</description>

		<description>The Beverly location is obviously the popular one, since that is the one most people reference. The one in Hollywood isn't close to a liquor store, but there is a Vons and Cap'n Cork not too far away on Hillhurst. I have a feeling ours is a bit easier to get into at the last minute, plus it is almost mandatory to take a tour through Wacko, it has the hugest selection of offbeat toys, collectables, art and books I've come across. Got my Shag book signed by Josh Agle himself!</description>
