Just called their number to confirm what I've suspected for a long time: the Wilshire location is permanently closed. In 2004, I met my husband there. We have celebrated so many anniversaries and birthdays there (including his 39th, which we had no idea would be our least meal there.) It breaks my heart to think we don't get to go back for one more. To the wonderful staff who always made us feel so welcomed, we truly appreciate you all. Thanks for helping to start a family that has produced two beautiful kids along the way! All the best to everyone who has struggled so much with the pandemic and its aftermath. Thanks, Bandera, for the wonderful memories!

Best items on the Menu: Rutherford Ribeye - prepared in a cherry glaze, chargrilled outside, so good, on the side is basil, Campari tomatoes, and blue cheese, the artichoke dish is really excellent too! signature margarita, mi sueno red wine (pre-2018)

Amazing service and ambiance. Jazz band sat behind us and we didn’t find it to be too loud. Spinach dip to start was very good. Ordered ribs and tuna steaks which were very flavorful with the coleslaw on the side and fries. I like that she offered spicy may as well. Drinks were pretty good too. Only complaint is how quickly they brought the food and didn’t give us too much time to sit there and really enjoy it as much as we would have, we also had a really late lunch so weren’t super hungry. I liked the din lighting and candle at the tables also. I would definitely go back

Fairly mundane statehouse chain restaurant. Nice booths and that’s about it.

This is a fabulous Lebanese restaurant nestled in the heart of North Hollywood. The food, the staff and the ambience are just wonderful. They have a wonderful patio style dining as well as indoor seating. All the desserts are made on property in their excellent. All the foods that I have eaten here are lovely Lebanese, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern delectable foods. If you're in the mood for a very healthy very delicious and very clean meal that is not expensive go to this restaurant.

The food itself was appealing and mouth-watering. It was not a typical delicious meal but rather made you think about the flavors and presentation. It was a different course of a meal and it was well-presented. I really love the food served for us. Our dinner here is really worth it. Thank you to the staff who accommodated us!
I very much liked the food and customer service, good area nearby to my house. The employees are always super friendly. Will come back again.

Always outstanding, whether you're dining in or getting taking out. We love that we live so close to this gem of a restaurant.The food, the service, and the atmosphere are always on point.The cornbread croutons in the kale Caesar salad are something truly wonderful. In fact, everything is.Best of Brentwood for sure.

Overpriced, good food, used to be a good place to go, until in 2018 they "RESERVED" all the seats at the bar and you had to have a reservation to sit at a "bar." Which means they simply changed what used to be a bar into backless table seats, or whatever. None the less, dining here for years I know their menu well. So, after Covid 19, I tried to support them by ordering take out. Rather than transparently raising prices (IDK why, when they don't need to pay waiters or busboys or dishwashers) they cut the portions in half. I know exactly how much chicken goes with the macha salad, or what a half chicken looks like in the entre. Instead, they gouge and rip off everyone by shorting the portion size. Dirty, corrupt, I will never go back and won't support a business that cheats its customers.

I was getting an apartment next door, and my Mom and I decided to get some quick lunch. I accidentally went in the back, but they were still very helpful. We shared the last salad on the menu. It was probably one of the best salads I've ever had in my life. My Mom is a salad person; I'm not. I asked for 2 plastic spoons for the to-go. I think he gave me regular spoons, so I put them back on the counter secretly. I do think it was the best salad I'd ever eaten.
