“Fantastic food and friendly service! chicken is juicy and tender and the pink sauce...OMG. The jalapeño poppers are a MUST!“

“Excellent brunch food and drinks, lovely atmosphere. Chilaquiles, shakshouka and pain au chocolat were delicious. Cannot wait to go back to the patio for dinner!“

“Went here based on web search. We were not only not disappointed, but the Chef recommended we try things as it was our frist time. Best Brussel sprouts I've ever had in my life. And the candied yams... The chicken. The fish. The hush puppies!It's not just the food, it's the people and vibe. This place is worth traveling across the country for.Parking: Usual strip mall parking. But we walked there! Plenty of spots, but it was a Thursday night.“

“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“Great atmosphere, food and drinks!“

“We love Charlie & Friends! Delicious food, friendly people, and a lovely atmosphere. The patio is wonderful. Dogs are welcome and it is child friendly. We love the secluded location and the ample parking. So glad we found it!“

“Great food and lovely owners - would recommend“

“Good food, nice vibe, cool crowd. Very friendly and attentive service for Brunch on a very rainy day.“

“We were in town for just a few days and we decided to try Black Market for an early dinner and sit on the patio to enjoy the weather.All shareable size plates which makes for a great option to try a number of different things. Service was very friendly and quick. The smoked trout dish was deceiving as it looked to be quite a heavy dish but was shockingly light and packed with flavor.The Trecce pasta was also a wonderful size and incredibly flavorful.The red hot and bothered was a delightful drink.Didn’t take any pictures because we were enjoying the atmosphere and the weather!Will be sure to try and again when we are back in town.“

“Came here with friends to celebrate my birthday. Everything was great! The hostesses were inviting, the server Kirstie and all the serving staff were so attentive. Food came out quick and it was delicious. We will definitely be back.Thank you!!Parking: Lots of parking options available which is a giant plus when dining in the Blvd.“

“Over the last two years it's been a tradition to come here after getting picked up or before getting dropped off at the Burbank airport. I love coming and seeing the new pancake specials. Everything on the menu is delicious.Parking can be difficult on the weekends. Also the wait on the weekend can be long but again worth it.“

“I was recommended to Nati’s by a friend. The menu is diverse & serves every craving you have when hungry! I just love Mexican food & these cooks have a gift! There’s a nice mix of Oaxaca & Jalisco in the food! The Nopales breakfast & salsas are excellent! Must try! Definitely coming back for more!!!“

“The food, as always, was great, as was the waiter. However, we had specifically requested an outdoor table for four on the patio, and that request wasn't met, nor were we advised they wouldn't reserve such a table. We had to eat in the room between the actual outdoors and the inner dining room and it was definitely not as enjoyable as outside, where we always sit. We didn't want to be that close to so many others (my husband is 90 and is immunocompromised) and it was so much noisier too. The only outdoor space they had offered was on one of the couches by the fireplace and that is way too low to eat and also for my husband to manipulate re his walker, etc.. So not as good an experience as usual, but the food was great!“

“I got the spicy pasta to go and it was delicious and flavorful AS USUAL. It has the cajun flavor to it which I love and comes originally with the no meat which is great since I'm vegetarian. If I had one issue with it , it would be that it wasn't actually spicy at all. Still very delish.“

“Came in last night and the service provided by Geanne was the Best!!!! the food was great the service was the cherry on top I was motivated to return I'm here today picking up to go food was excellent clam chowder chunky and delicious burgers were juicy flavorful I highly recommend I give a 10 +“

“Jambalaya is my favorite! I had the Filet Mignon today it was amazing too!“

“I came here with my family after a visit to universal and it was a hit! Something for everyone- I got the veggie burger with sweet potato fries... delicious!! The service was great. Kat found out it was my first time here and she took the time to explain the menu and even gave suggestions on the sauces that would pair well with my meal. She was kind, quick and friendly! Give Kat a raise! The place was located in a convenient location with a nice ambiance and the bathrooms were clean! Super important for a public establishment especially a food place. I'd eat here again and recommend to others.“

“I actually came here because it's dog friendly. My dog got the chicken and rice and I got the smash burger protein style and fries. My dog loved it that made me happy. The beef was good quality and fries well seasoned, but I wish there was more Lettuce like wrap the burger in Lettuce instead of like a bun one on the top and one on the bottom. Service was good. Very patient and kind.“

“Amazing Place and Customer Experience.“

“This is what happens when you support shitty businesses like Tendergreens studio city. Mazza actually had great food, nice ambiance, kind staff, and good music too. They didn't deserve to close! We need to do better. Never forgiving this community for actively supporting the business next door that has numerous health issues and bad service. I hope Mazza can come back one day.“

“We were greeted by our server comma bartender Nick. He was friendly helpful and Johnny on the spot. The Ambiance was very nice. We really enjoyed the feel of the place and all of the people that we encountered were very friendly. The food was fairly average for what we had. I should say for what I had my wife really did enjoy the three taco plate. I had the cheeseburger and I would give it a c. I had ordered it medium rare it was on the more well done side of medium. And I felt that the bread to meet ratio was not very good. We will be back however we have been to other granville's and like the food in general. It may have been just a bad day for me or for the burger:-).“

“I recently held a staff/team outing here, and we were all blown away by how delicious all the food was. I was expecting typical bar food. But I abdielito just want to go back and just order food. Lol. Comedy show was amazing. Great, friendly service too all the way through and clean.“

“Always a wonderful culinary adventure as well as good wines and craft cocktails! The bar staff can be quite creative and always friendly. Plus, the atmosphere is fresh and hip- Industrial yet cozy.“

“Karaoke is Baller. Vegan Food Options. Great Staff.“

“This is my new go to place for all of my salads and healthier meal options. It always seems super quiet, so I hope that they are getting lots of business as I do not want this place to close down as the next closest place is Miles and Miles away.“

“The UC Bahn Mi chicken sandwich & adult grilled cheese 10/10.Both were extremely excellent. Unique in flavor/quality, perfect meal size portioning and competitively priced. 10 out of 10 points for both sandwiches.Urbane Cafe has a excellent variety of healthy food options for all dietary restrictions.This location also had, excellent customer service, a clean/new establishment environment and a polished feel.The sandwiches were still warm 15 minutes later when we got home and the smell of the sandwiches in the car while driving home really stood out to both of us.First I will speak of their new "UC Bahn Mi" sandwich which I ordered for myself. It is extremely unique in it's flavor profile. The portioning was perfect, the amount of sauce on the sandwich was perfect, the sandwich was filling yet felt like a healthy light option.Tastewise, my tongue felt this sandwich was an artful expression of local and exotic world flavors combined perfectly at once.Hands down, I would recommend getting this sandwich over all others if this is your first time coming.Also, all sandwiches come with a quality side salad of spring mix, a couple Mandarin orange pieces, feta cheese sprinkle and balsamic oil and vinaigrette mixed dressing on the side.It's my first time coming here and the food is extremely fresh and the flavor combinations in their sandwiches are spot on. During our visit we purchased two sandwiches so I cannot speak of anything other than that. However, if the food that we got is a good representation of the unique flavor profiles of the rest of their food then I would rate their menu an A+. I give top scores for presentation, flavor profile, unique combinations, freshness, menu options, and customer service. Also, apparently you can get extra sandwich sauce on the side which comes in a pretty large portion cup.We placed a to-go order at the register around 2:30p they are fairly busy & it took about 12 minutes for our food. They bake their sandwich bread inside what looks like a large brick type open oven as a pizza place would do. When you order a sandwich, your bread is pretty much baked to order as you watch. They're able to do this as the sandwiches use a flat bread style.You place your order at the register they give you a number and you can wait anywhere in the cafe where they will bring you your food regardless if it is for here to go.It appeared as though it was the manager who was filling the roll of expediter, inspecting, packing & running completed orders to guests.I have to hand it to the person that was handling this at 2:27pm 3/8/24. This gentleman was extremely friendly, gracious, professional, warm, welcoming & part of why I would come back sooner.Please, pass on to him how noticeable good he is at the things that he does.I left feeling like I had made a good decision to go there and I would like to come back. The guests in this location appeared well put together with a mix of middle and lower classes.My final comment is not one directed to this establishment itself. My only complaint, if you can call it a complaint, is the general cost of eating out. The final bill with two sandwiches, each coming with a small side salad automatically was a competitive $24 which is a tidbit too high for me. The cash register uses a system to ring you where you are automatically asked to accept or deny leaving a tip to which paying customers likely never appreciate.The location seemed steadily busy at 1:30 in the afternoon on a weekday but not so busy where it was uncomfortable or a noticeable wait for food. There is plenty of seating inside and out with umbrellas outside and a fenced-in patio which is across the street from a park. It's very nice location where Inside the establishment I saw a nurse on her computer on her lunch break, families, professionals on lunch breaks and just local people or couples out getting lunch here.The seating arrangement inside is extremely variable from cushioned bench, booth, chair and high barstool style of seating options. The patio is very larg“

“This place is legit! The food was amazing, top notch but the real star of the show today was Consuelo!!! Such great energy and what a wonderful smile. Really good service and she made me a delicious Paloma. Thank you. We will definitely be back.“

“Such a cool place! Ambiance and food were fantastic! Server was very nice, Manager (starts with an A) was so professional. Made sure food and experiance was perfect. How refreshing. Kudos to this place and their team. We will be going back!“

“Firefly never disappoints. I have been there so many times. This time around was a little special for my daughter's graduation dinner. And sat at the back hall. It was amazing ambience. Last but not least Drew our server made it even super special evening.“

“the salads are delicious. the food is very good“

“What a great cafe' serving healthy food, smoothies, bowls and more. We were on our way to Laemmle theater and grabbed a quick bite here. Such a pleasure to see such a diverse menu with healthy choices. I had the turkey on sourdough with sprouts (quite good), my husband had the Cali-wrap, he definitely enjoyed! Having more time, I would have delved into the smoothie choices, but will definitely return to try other items. I have to say the baked goods looked scrumptious for sure! The Eat Real Cafe is just what you want to brighten your day with it's cheery, comfy setting both inside and out. Quite busy at lunchtime today, yet service did well keeping up. I certainly recommend Eat Real on Main.“

“Great with DJ music at Patio“

“Great service! Great breakfast! Melt in your mouth pancakes“

“The Stand in one of my favorite, casual dining places. The people are friendly and helpful beyond expectation, and I have never in perhaps 10-12 years had a single item that was prepared incorrectly or had to go back to the kitchen. A wonderful place to sit and relax and have wonderful, appealing, tasty food, served as quickly as any place in Los Angeles.“

“Wonderful service and very creative cuisine. The design is superb. Very upscale casual chic. Our server was so attentive and went over the top to take care of us. She did not want us to sit in the sun while we had brunch“

“Definitely my new burger spot when we hang out in Studio City. The food, the vibes and staff are so friendly. The original burger, fries and cookies and cream shake is my meal. My daughter loves their pastrami burger. It's definitely different with their spicy sauce.“

“Great food , indoor dining , reasonable price & healthy options.“

“The customer service from the bartender was exceptional. He really understands flavors and how they mix and we let him surprise us and the alcohol and mock-tails were great. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the Cabernet chocolate cake with espresso buttercream was so delicious“

“Love this place!! They have the best seafood variety tacos. I always get the calamari and the shrimp those are must. The salmon and the original fish is so tasty as well and you can't forget the fries here! If you want some good seafood tacos this is your place to try. They also have rice and salads and the seared tuna plates are super healthy and delicious too!“

“I love this place. I didn't do all stars because I think the prices are high! The other reason is specifically the tea I order. The Peach tea. It's made in a type tea press, so the loose tea that's used could be used agin to make another cup of tea. But I think the loose tea is used once, and that's it! It would be nice that either the loose tea is bag and you as a customer can pour hot water over it more than once or give you the press to use while you dine in. That gives value and not wasteful I order the Thai Salad today and the Tempeh was cold and hard and seem less than usual however, the staff are always AMAZING and the food is delicious I would recommend this place over and over again!“

“TASTY ?I liked the food here. So so yummy and delicious and fantastical. But let’s get real, the prices will make you hate yourself a little bit. But don’t worry, the staff keep you happy. We sang happy birthday to a STRANGER and got free french toast and refills. It’s nice to be seen for the nice man I am.☺️ THANKSKid-friendliness: Yes, I believe they accommodate kids considering I saw kids.“

“Valley Inn has excellent food and service. The main room is a throw back to another era which has that nostalgic feel. The menu is limited, but great if you like red meat. I don't eat red meat and my wife likes meat that is braised. Very limited for the both of us. With a limited menu, they do those dishes very well. My roast duck was excellent and my wife had an end cut of prime rib. The other thing we noticed is that all the prices where very high from years past. If you are going, you need to know that. It seems not an issue since the place was packed. So, my recommendation would be limited but a yes for a specific clientele.“

“This place has an incredible musical vibe and an amazing staff of great humans!!!“

“Great place to have a lunch with co-workers either dinner with family & friends! Delicious food, affordable prices, fast service, kind stuff! The most exciting thing is Robot as a server, especially for kids :)I'm so happy they opened the second spot in Venice Beach!!!“

“Stopped by Kluckin Chicken yesterday to get out of the cold and get a hot bite to eat. We pleasantly surprised. The food was cooked to order. Hot and fresh. Fries were good and my son loved the coleslaw (something that's hit or miss for him). We had the mild chicken. As fans of the Nashville trend, mild is usually our cup of tea. We are used to a bit more flavor and kick, even on mild. These tasted a bit more like naked where we eat. Definitely going with more heat next time! Limited spice aside, the chicken was hot and juicy. The local sauce was also nice. Definitely hit the spot on a cold evening. The restaurant was clean and colorful. The staff was friendly and prompt. It was a pleasant evening all around. Definitely would recommend!“

“A decorated literature themed bar with well-made drinks and decent food. Street parking on a Saturday night was easy. It's a good spot for a private party, but for a fun night out this place seemed quiet and empty otherwise.Not a cheap place to buy drinks, especially when charged $7 for Diet Coke, and another $7 for a refill. I assume it was a mistake, but it bemuses me to pay a cocktail price for soda.Parking: Street parking“

“Was told the kitchen was already closed when we arrived but then a group of 3 that walked in after us was able to order some fries which is what we had wanted. Got an old fashioned and a Diablo. Old fashioned was good and on the stronger side. Karaoke was going on. There were a lot of people but had no trouble getting a seat and it didn't feel crowded. The bartender (I think Mike?) was nice and checked in even though it was busy.“

“Just happened to be walking by and decided to stop for lunch, so glad we did. Excellent food and even better service. Intimate setting with awesome decor. Definitely recommend.“

“Great Food, Great People. What more could you want?“
