Reviews for Diner locations in Los Angeles, CA

This is a terrific location. A very large "old school" dressed restaurant that we doubled as 4 different eating establishments. Gorgeous stained glass. Booths both big and small. Tables large and small. The dressed bar has lots of character as well. Martini Glasses, etc. Gigantic industrial kitchen. This restaurant is not operating at the moment which makes it VERY production friendly. 70 car parking lot in back! The 2 days we filmed inside we heard absolutely no traffic on Roscoe except an occasional siren. Almost NO air traffic. The place is like a vault, almost sound proof. Nina was our host and always was quick to respond to our texts. This location is camera ready. I'll be back often.

Nina was absolutely lovely to work with. Very communicative and the space provided so much more than we could have hoped for. Instructions for entry and exit were clear. The kitchen and dining spaces were expansive and provided us a lot of room to work with. And the fact that the location also has a large parking lot attached to it is a huge help for production logistics.
