Took us in last minute and we had a great dinner.
Valet was friendly and restaurant staff was friendly. Manager (I forgot his name) even gave us restaurants history and what not. Nice decor and perfect noise level. Food was excellent and drinks were in point. I would love to return.

Really great food! I went with my friend and we sat inside with a nice view outside. The dishes were served on time, the servers were polite and they checked in on us a few times.
First time here and everything was amazing.
The atmosphere on a Saturday night was nice. They had the heater on in the open area. Food was tasty as well as the drinks. We had the calamari, crispy potato, ceviche and guacamole. We then we had the rib eye and whole snapper. The whole snapper had

Dama is perfect if youre looking for a vibey restaurant near downtown. The squash blossoms and the aguachile really stood out for me. Really nice place to have a (relatively) quiet dinner for 2. Will be going again.

The glass of the drinks was so small and not worth the price at all. I thought I was going to get a regular margarita glass and it was basically a shot with lemon. Also they need a sign with their name on it because it was super hard to find. Overall

Love this place! Food is great and the service is awesome.
Sad to see the place not as busy as it used to be. I will keep going there as it is one of my favorite spots in downtown LA.
Really nice restaurant, it's spacious and well set up.
They have a large menu with plenty of gluten free options (most of the menu). We shared the gem salad, beans, potatoes, lamb chops and rotisserie chicken. The appetizers tasted great. Both the lamb and rotisserie chicken were well marinated, howeve

Came to Dama last week for food and drinks.
It was delicious. Everything was great. The only bad thing was the service the hostess had. There were plenty of empty tables and only offered a hi tops because there were later reservations. By the time I had finished eating tables were still empty.
This place is tucked away in the fashion district.
Upon arriving, you can't help but to notice the warm, inviting atmosphere. I would absolutely keep this place in mind for a nice romantic dinner. The menu is majority tapas with a couple of larger dishes. I highly recommend the beef empanadas.
Amazing!
Dama in Los Angeles is a chic Latin American restaurant with a modern twist on traditional cuisine. The visually appealing dishes and diverse beverage options create a memorable dining experience. However, some may find the prices on the higher side

Fraudulent Credit Card Charges
Make sure to check your credit card statement. Made a reservation here on open table for 530. Arrived to an empty restaurant and checked in with the hostess. Given the place was empty, our party elected to sit at the bar. The hostess brought us menus
The location of this restaurant is pretty bad.
Food is mediocre for the prices that they charge
Food was great, cute hidden place in DTLA.
Definitely recommend for a date night, or girls night out.
A great date night spot.
Service was good. Our server and the rest of the staff were very attentive and kind. Our plates were switched out between the appetizer and main course as well as our utensils. We ordered the whipped beans and corn as our appetizer. I felt that the w

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to DAMA Fashion District Restaurant & Bar Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the DAMA Fashion District Restaurant & Bar Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at DAMA Fashion District Restaurant & Bar Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at DAMA Fashion District Restaurant & Bar Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
