      <content>I have been to that location once and although I have an opinion, I have to place a few caveats:
1) I'm a vegetarian so I only ate a veggie burger
2) I'm a longtime Barney's partisan from the Bay Area.
 
With that said, I was somewhat disappointed in Barney's in LA. The menu is not as full as the ones in the Bay Area (there a choice exits between tofu patties and Gardenburgers, here only the Gardenburgers; there, more choices including my favorite called the Milano, here fewer choices). 
 
But my disappointment is more for what I did NOT eat than any complaint with what I did have. My burger had a generous dollop of flavorful sauce, my curly fries were crispy and nicely seasoned and the service was truly friendly.
 
All of the carnivorous friends I ever brought to Barneys in the Bay Area said the burgers were very good, but were not as completely enthusiastic as I was. I just assumed my delight at having something like 24 options for veggie burgers colored my opinions somewhat.
