Not sure why "Chillout" is in the name. Everyone here was super uptight and serious.
1. I was discussing how it was impossible to stay in the cubicle seating because the pillows were sliding off because the cubicles are smooth table tops and the pillows are smooth...not one of us in any of the cubicles were able to be that comfortable because if felt like we were going to end up on the floor. One of the staff came up to us and told us to be careful getting in and out of the cubicles. All of us in the cubicles got a good laugh over how seriously he told us this. Maybe tell us this when you seat us there but if we are sitting there I think we get it.
NOTE: 1 can of anti slip spray paint will fix this!!! Go to Home Depot, pay $5, spray the table tops, put pillows back down, problem solved. Love the idea but it was impossible to enjoy sitting when the pillows kept sliding out.
2. When I got there I asked for Bubble Tea. I was told that they had it but when I tried to order it I was told that there were not tapioca peals but it was still bubble tea. I saw this in someone else's review. It is NOT bubble tea without the bubble part. It is just tea. It's like trying to sell a bag of sugar as cotton candy. I was then told that there might be bubbles later because the owner was out shopping. However, it was added that "I put it on his (owners) list but he doesn't always follow the list." Oh, so the owner of the establishment probably won't know how to read a grocery list so I shouldn't hold my breath about having bubble tea? Ok, great to know.
3. I signed up for open mic and the person running it came over to me and said that unless I was experienced/professional I should "go home and practice a few weeks then maybe come back." So you're telling me I came for open mic, respected the business by ordering food/drinks, BUT you don't want me there? AND you don't want my business for a few weeks? My friends vouched for me and she 'let' me sign up and we were all really taken aback by her treatment. After laughing about practically having to go through a background check to perform at open mike, she came back over and gave me a 10 minute explanation. Basically, they had a band perform and people left and the owner told her he wanted her to carefully screen every person before she let them up on stage. OH, so the owner is a jerk?
I had this at 3 stars because I really think this is a good establishment but there is some disconnect. Mainly, as representative in an establishment, you need to be a team. Your goal is to get customers to enjoy their experience and come back. However, everyone here was more about making themselves look good by putting the blame on someone else - which happened to be the owner.
So, yes, server that made the excellent shopping list for your boss, GREAT JOB! You really know how to make a list, too bad your owner didn't know how to read it and did not buy the tapioca for me to have bubble tea.
And yes, open mic mc, you did an AWESOME job of super screening performers as you were told. If you weren't losing customers by having bad performers you certainly lost plenty with your "if you aren't a professional practice then come back in a few weeks". But you aren't the bad guy, heaven forbid. The owner, that's who the jerk is.
Please fix your website. Times are wrong.
Food was good. Beer was cold. I approve of both.
I don't often write reviews but when I do they are only truth as I know it.
The first time I went here it was all good. But THIS time, we asked for cups of water and they gave us expensive bottles. Then we ordered bubble tea and they brought out the tea made and said, "Oh by the way, we just ran out of tapioca balls," which was my purpose in ordering it. They should have told us that before making it. Then, we found pieces of GLASS in the tea. Little shards of glass! They automatically include 18% tip (wow!) and then trick you at checkout so you give them even more tip! I ended up stupidly giving them a 32% tip!! Ugh! Never going here again.
Review Source:First time to Megabite a few days ago. Â Strolled in at night for some crepes. Pretty neat set up. Â Chill lounge type of vibe like the name. Â There was a comedian on stage, which I found amusing. Â I had the grilled chicken crepe, Mediterranean crepe, and washed 'em down with a Leffe blonde beer. Â They claim to have the coldest beer in town and my Leffe was very nice and cold. Â The grilled chicken crepe was delicious, and the Mediterranean crepe was good too. Â The owner and staff were very nice. Â I'm curious about the cupcakes they are experimenting with. Â Overall I enjoyed the experience and I would go back to try other crepes, the cupcakes, and check out the jazz scene.
Review Source:I had the best crepe made with chicken and spinach seasoned lightly with garlic. It was light and tasty very fulfilling. For desert I had the crepe with banana, strawberry and nutella just the perfect blend IT WAS AWESOME and I didn't feel guilty eating it!! The Bubble Tea was an experience I tried the lychee and tapioca WOW!!! I was entertained by poets and musicians and sang a couple of originalas and cover songs..I didn't know what to expect and ended up closing the place!! The ambiance is very inviting and relaxing..the cozy booths for friends like mini lofts..this place is one of a kind and a must on your list of places to eat and chill! If you are an aspiring artist or a professional this is a place to go and be surrounded by other creative minds. If you aprreciate talent and EXCELLENT food then see you there!!

Bought a Groupon and went in on a Tuesday night. One person in the place. Sat at a table and was asked to move so they could accomodate a big group....um did I mention an EMPTY place...ok we moved. Mentioned the Groupon and they came over to say we had to have a reservation to use Groupon...no I pointed out on the Groupon it said reservation recommended not required. we were still refused service. Need I remind you it was EMPTY. We left and will not return. I am sure not all Groupon customers are generous and giving, but we are...too bad for the waitress as she lost a guaranteed tip on a slow night.
I find it humorous the owner or manager responds to each comment in a combative tone.
Update 2.21 you are delusional and I wonder about your sanity. You refused to accept the groupon because we didn't have a reservation. There was ONE person in the place. Notice only bad reviews and you always are argumentative...ridiculous.
The White Castle Hamburgers on the menu are the frozen White Castle's from the grocery, not "white castle style" sliders, like I thought I understood. There was a language barrier with the Chef but she definitely let me know that I, the customer, was wrong and that she said that they were the frozen burgers.
The owner was very nice and apologetic when some of our food was forgotten.
I came in with a livingsocial deal so I expected to be treated like a second class citizen from the beginning. Based on my experience, I will not return
I visited this place to watch a band play. I haven't been to Hollywood in years, so I decided to revisit.
Location: This place is in prime real estate, but lacks a proper sign. The sign is behind a window, and is not lit. This makes finding the place a chore. There is no real parking, so a 2 block walk to a parking garage is the sole option. However, the parking situation relates to ALL businesses on Hollywood Blvd. The inside is very narrow and long. With the bar and stools that run along the entrance/exit, one only has a 3-4' wide path to walk to get into the back of the establishment. The lack of exiting ease seems like a massive fire hazard.
Entertainment: Bands are forced to play in a loft in the back of the establishment. It's an odd arrangement that disconnects the entertainers from the patrons. Some other establishments place the band in the store front window. This seems to be a more logical approach.
Food: In the window were crepe stations. I was game for a crepe, so I asked to order one. It was 7:30pm. Apparently, they don't fire up the crepes until after 8:30pm. I was there until 9:45 and no crepes were ever made. I asked for a beer. 20 minutes later I received it. They forgot that I ordered, and I had to ask, twice. Not sure why they forgot. The place was empty. I talked to one of the band members. He had ordered food for dinner, and it never came.
Seating: Seating is like parking; few and far between. They have these weird cubicles with pillows you can "chill" in. Interesting concept, but there is no where to place your drink.
Adam and his staff were very friendly, but it was frustrating to order items that never arrive. I hope this CONSTRUCTIVE criticism helps this business change for the better.
