“This is my favorite Bar in Gardena. Mama-san who is Toshi -san who is very nice and friendly. I know they are closed now for Covid-19 season. I am very missing Bar 104. They have good Shochu , Japanese sake , beer , wine and sparkling wine as well . Also Karaoke too ! I want to highly recommend Bar 104 !!! Their style is unique like girls bar style but not too expensive price .“
“We loved the Portland location and had high expectations when visiting in LA. Fortunately, Farmhouse Kitchen lived up to its reputation! We visited over lunch which provided a special menu option with soup, appetizers, and entree. Service was impeccable - so friendly and attentive. We'll be back!“
“Amazing breakfast burritos. The combination of hash browns, eggs, onions and chorizo or sausage is perfect. The flavor couldn’t be better. The salsas that come with the burrito are spicy so go light or have your burrito + sauces with a glass of milk.“
“Incredible date night spot! Vibes & music were great all evening. Service was attentive but not overwhelming… would highly recommend!Of course we had the corn bread… it lived up to the hype! Followed that up with the Meatloaf & Trout which both had very unique flavors. We ended with the brown butter chocolate chip cookies & date cake… incredible!!Also the drinks are expensive but it’s LA so it’s to be expected… we really enjoyed ours.20% service charge built into total at the end of the meal!Parking: We valeted - $15 - very easy“
“There's definitely a reason this place keeps coming up everywhere as number ones bartenders are nice with a touch of sass like you'd like at a dive bar, but it's elevated. The prices are pretty pricey, but for the love ingredients and originality of the cocktails I guess it's alright, but I'm not staying for more than two lol. We ordered 4 cocktails and two mocktails and it was about $100 so time to go home lol. They have yummy little snacks and overall we were happy with this new Long Beach spot.“
“One of my favorite Venice spots! The food is delicious, the service outstanding. Absolutely have the ricotta crostini with the gluten free bread (trust me) and the raw Brussels sprouts salad.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options and knowledgeable staff“
“Embarking on a culinary journey at Chez Bacchus was an absolute delight. I don't drink myself but our guests had a blast with the experience. The six-course meal with perfectly matched wines was an experience that left an indelible mark on everyone's palate. From the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of sophistication and warmth. Each course was a testament to the culinary prowess of the chefs, with dishes artfully presented and bursting with flavor. The expertly paired wines elevated the dining experience, with each sip enhancing the flavors of the accompanying dish. From delicate appetizers to decadent desserts, every aspect of the meal was meticulously crafted to create a symphony of taste sensations. With impeccable service and a truly unforgettable culinary experience, dining at Chez Bacchus "Chef Table" is a must for anyone seeking an indulgent gastronomic adventure.“
“This was an adorable place for pastries and lunch. There is free parking in the structure nearby, and paid street parking around. My partner and I split the Chilaquiles, which was phenomenal with fresh and crisp chips. The pastry we ordered was an apple danish of some sort, and that was delightful as well. You order in the front before self seating, and enjoying a laid-back time with yourself or your friends. The staff were super friendly. The prices were quite high, but understandable for the location and quality of food.“
“401K is a Celiac's dream. Their exclusively gluten-free menu is fantastic--I've never been disappointed by a dish. It is impossible to tell their bread products/desserts are gluten-free, and their menu is thoughtful and varied. The ambiance is wonderful, whether you're inside or on their (dog-friendly!) patio, and the staff is lovely. I'd frequent 401K even without gluten restrictions; as someone with Celiac, 401K is an absolute game-changer.“
“The food was delicious and the presentation was like art, the service was excellent, and the ambience of the place itself was beautiful. Visited with a group of friends so we were able to get different plates and try from each others, didn't get to photograph all of them but so good!“
“Go inside and a you’ll be magnetized. The setting is pleasing, comfortable and elegant. There are tables of differing sizes depending on party size. The barista was great- he made me a wonderful matcha w honey drink that was delicious. The food was great. French omelette is yum. Loved the service“
“First time here! Dropped in for a beverage on a beautiful afternoon with a friend. The staff were super chill and they offer tons of unique flavors of ciders - all gluten free! I tried the watermelon mint one (can't remember the name) and it was light and refreshing. The spot has varied types of seating for all the moods and tons of board games. I will definitely be back and highly recommend!“
“Great local wine bar! Our server was very friendly and gave us a few recommendations, I went with the pinot noir which was delicious! The atmosphere was great, very chill and cozy. I can't wait to come back and try the small bites they offer!“
“On this beautiful day, I came out to Bacari for my sisters birthday! The food was delicious, the service was awesome! Everyone here has a calm and inviting personality. Nolan was our server, who did an amazing job. He made my mom smile and had great menu suggestions .“
“Pasta Sisters is a real treat and on our list of places to dine at whenever we’re in Culver City. Our kids love it here and their pasta always comes out so good. The never ending bread service is amazing as well. Today we tried the Bottarga, Tomato and Basil topped with burrata, and the Truffle from the Not So Secret menu. We took a tiramisu to go because we were so stuffed. Afterwards we walked our pasta off at a few of the furniture stores within walking distance.“
“The Vintage is a total hidden gem! I can't believe I lived in LB for so long and hadn't discovered it. This is the perfect 1-2x weekly (or more!) drop in spot. Vanessa the owner is just incredible as is her staff. Her quality selections of meat, cheese, wine and speciality products are incredible to go. One of my favorite parts of the shop was the experience of dining in. They have an incredible menu perfect for a weeknight refresh or weekend out with friends. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back asap!“
“Love their pasta and order delivery often but had a babysitter last weekend so we got to go to the actual space for the first time. Very lively and cozy and friendly - the staff and clientele alike. We've yet to encounter a dish we haven't loved. The papperdelle and bucatini are my favorites, and our family enjoyed the mushroom fettuccine and lamb gnocchi. The shrimp diavola and the meatballs make excellent sides/starters. All of the desserts are fantastic - pannacotta is a huge hit, tiramisu is on point and Nutella bites are a pretty unique snack-size dessert.“
“The staff was friendly and very attentive. I dined with a party of 6 and everyone seemed to enjoy the food and the portions were generous . We shared the mezza appetizer which was delicious and definitely enough for the 6 of us. I ordered a chicken bowl which was tasty but the chicken kabob was overcooked.“
“Great food, great atmosphere, great service!It is the "Cheers" of the South Bay!Definitely need to go by, have dinner and drinks!It also has an amazing Chocolate Stout which is out of this world! Don't miss out on the experience where everyone will know your name!“
“This place is a gem. I told my husband I'll write a review because he loves this place - the silent movies playing in the background at night, the pizza with the dough cooked through with a little char, and even when we're not in the mood for pizza we'll come here for salads and appetizers. Any time it was his turn to prepare dinner we ended up here - he loved the vibe of this place, the familiar faces and awesome service. I told him this review was for him but it's really for me too. We will miss you, Thunderbolt Pizza! Thank you, Jay, Christie, and Tyler for being part of our family for the last 2+ years.“
“Cute little wine bar in downtown Long Beach. We made reservations and a table was set aside for us, which was a plus! We tried several wines that were not very good. We asked for some suggestions, and the waitress recommended some pretty good wine tastings. We did not eat any food, as the menu was very limited. Parking is difficult.... Due to being on the street and metered.“
“We passed the restaurant about three weeks ago and it has now become one of our favorites for our date nights? The bar service is great, the chicken wings are the best and the steak meal is delicious! Our most recent visit with friends, the place was packed with customers and the vibe was so nice with a variety of people! It's close, convenient and also the valet attendants are excellent!“
“Great local place that has a cute store next door with a variety of beer/wine choices and some upscale snacks.Food, drinks and vibe of the bar are always amazing. Every one always seems to be having a good time whenever I’m there. The staff is super nice and helpful with any questions I have had.“
“The beef carpaccio is a miracle of a dish. I hope they never remove it from the menu because I would order this daily if I could. The orange wine was ok, chilled red was good. Halibut was ok. Very small intimate setting.But...the beef carpaccio makes this 5 stars.“
“Chef Bernhard back in the kitchen again!Great news for LA fans of his truly stellar cooking. All the food was as fabulous as we remember from Bierbeisl. Lustig did not disappoint. Every dish was greeted with groans of delight. It is popular and can get loud inside, but the outside patio tables are nice and quiet. We've been back several times since it opened, and are going again soon.Very highly recommended.“
Wine Bar • $$
“We love it here! We are regulars and have celebrated many special moments here. They have an extensive menu with rotating options. Pls keep adding delicious vegetarian options to the monthly menus, we will keep coming back! We miss your weekend brunch too :)“
“I recently hosted my birthday party at Barsha and it was amazing! The wine is always incredible and the food is delicious. But we love spending time at Barsha because of the wonderful staff who are so welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. It’s one of my favorite places in the South Bay!“
“Hidden gem!!! Anna Marie was our bar tender. She is the best bar tender of all times. She was sooo sweet. Her energy and personality alone earned more than 5 stars. I tried the Schrute farms which had beet infused gin, pomegranate, pineau des charantes and lemon.. this is the best cocktail I've ever tried. I asked Anna Marie for more recommendations. We tried almost every cocktail she recommended and they were all amazing. This is my new favorite bar.“
“Wonderful new dining choice on the Redondo Beach pier. I live above the pier and we desperately need a good place to eat, most places are awful. We had two excellent sandwiches, We also had a great rose recommended by our server and sat in the window and watched people go by. A very nice experience, we will be back!“
“Going to Sala for coffee and breakfast is a delight I look forward to. This place is hip; the music and decor are on point, but not in a pretentious way. The staff is always friendly and welcoming. If its coffee, wine, or good food, they got you covered here. It really is my local salita ✨“
“Exactly the kind of quirky, hip, establishment in the middle of an industrial area that could easily go viral. The wine is great, cheese pairings are awesome, and the atmosphere is casual. It is the opposite of Napa/Sonoma wine venues in a fun way. Service is very friendly and the location is perfect for small family or business get-togethers (there are even private party rooms). Not crowded and parking is free in private lot. Go before it is discovered by the media.“
“The best pastrami sandwich around. Great wine. Great regulars. Wonderful owners. Polite and respectful workers. Tastefully decorated and clean. This place checks all the boxes for the perfect watering hole. My girlfriend and I spent a wonderful evening at Willmore and I can't wait to return.“
“My friend and I stopped here before the movie right next-door. We tried their orange and rosé wines. I liked the orange, my friend didn't care for it. The manager who is working was really nice and it's a perfect spot if you get to the movie a little bit early. They have new Parklet so there's plenty of seating and people watching.“
“Evening food is INCREDIBLE - like you’re in Italy. People are wonderful, especially the GM and head waiter. They make you feel very welcome. Only complaints - no vintages on wine list, no corkage. Food and wine list is also overpriced. And while I complain about the bill every time I come here, we go back. Because the food is incredible, the people are wonderful and you feel like you’re not in Hermosa Beach, but transported to somewhere else.“
Brewery • $$
“I've been here many times but never posted a review or any pics. They have a large assortment of tasty beers. Today, I had their 805 blonde with the 805 smash burger & fries. It was yum yum yum delicioso. They have a huge location inside and out with plenty of places to sit. Their service is top-notch. Stop by if you are ever in the area.“
Coffee Shops • $
“This place deserves more credit. Everyone knows the cafe is amazing, great coffee, sandwiches, salads and breakfast. But do not miss out on By the Fire at Kiff during the evening!The owner Eric is a great guy and very interesting conversationalist. But chef Stephan runs the night shift and he is cooking amazing barbecued meats and vegetables.We ordered the BBQ chicken and Ribeye steak. Both were cooked perfectly and had great natural flavor. The Brussel sprouts and potatoes were cooked amazingly it was a great compliment to the meal. I enjoyed my steak with a fine glass of Bordeaux and my date had a cappuccino with her meal. This place has a beautiful atmosphere and perfect for any occasion.The chicken was priced at $18 and the ribeye steak was $35. Both sides were $8 a la carte. Please tell me where you can find a steak this good for $35!!!! Great value and quality. I’m so impressed with his place. Must be one of the best kept secrets in Los Angeles.“
“Found this place on yelp while in town. Great local place, lots of regulars in costume leading up to Halloween. Band played classic rock everyone could sing to. Standard bar fare well priced and served quickly. Sat next to owner who shared about upcoming bands and events. Nice hangout if you're visiting or live close by.“
“really solid burgers & tots it wasn't quite as smashed as i would prefer, (or as smashed as it was the first time i went) resulting in a bit of a thicker undercook but still tasty. close to the beach. street parking can be a bit tough but you'll figure it out“
“I live 5 minutes from this restaurant but have never given it a shot. I took my girlfriend here and we were pleasantly surprised with the quick service, the quality of the food, and the friendliness of the staff. I had the filet and my girlfriend had the salmon and both were very good. We will be back.“
“I had good time Friday night with with family I kept a smile on my face all night and mingled with friendly people. I love being around an older crowd people enjoying their self that’s what it supposed to be about Black people coming together having fun without fighting all the time. Peace one love.“
“Located between Tin Roof and Susie's cupcakes. I had a lovely time with a friend enjoying live music and drinking wine on a school night (Thursday) amidst a busy shopping area.Knowing there was no dinner served here, I called ahead of time to ask what I could bring in to enjoy with a wine flight. Just no meat, cheese or olives i was told. Fair enough. We brought our own hummus, crackers and fruit. (Darn it Susie's Cupcakes wasn't open for another sweet treat.)I loved my international wine flight choice and will be back again to try the other wine flights and the live music. The service is friendly and welcoming. No pressure or up sell. They were totally chill this night. Covered parking across the way.“
“Looks like a dive bar but actually a really nice chill local's bar with a good wine selection. A major plus is that you can bring your pizza from Little Coyote. I've come here a couple times with friends and it's definitely a spot I'd come more frequently if I lived in walking distance to it. They often have live music as well.“
“This is a pretty cool little local bar. As of now (Dec 2019) they don't do the canned food thing and they don't do karaoke. They just do regular wine bar type fare. They have a decent selection of wine, 2 Japanese beers on tap, a handful of sake choices, and a handful of shochu choices. They're nestled in a little Japanese plaza in Gardena. The place is quiet. There are 5 or 6 tables plus bar seating for 10-12. I liked it, and I'll definitely come back again.“
