“3rd visit - Obsessed! Innovate cuisine and meticulous cocktails at the level everywhere else wishes they could. Negroni - All time fav because the bitter punches hard (sometimes too hard). This is the best I've had! Bitter and sweet balance exquisitely - not brusque. Crispy Potatos - Well done, but makes you wonder if size is right. Close to being a french fry - but large! Crispy outside, soft inside, well seasoned. Mildly curious aioli pair well. Not perfect. Maybe needs another sauce? Seared Hokkaido Scallops - Scared green curry would overpower delicate scallops, but texture remains in tact. Curry pulls out creaminess. Delicate, but flavorful. Warm and clean. Scallion paratha is so necessary to give heavy depth! Cheesecake - Yooo!! Creme Brule is my fav and this is rivaling it! Bright and tart while velvety with deep. Not heavy! You'll regret not getting. Martini - A must every visit! I love olives, but tried lemon this time and loved how big of a difference it made! Excited to try gibson/onion next!“
“Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and Amanda saw to it that we had a wonderful experience. She was so welcoming and helpful. Many places have incredible drinks but if the service doesn't match, who knows if you'll remember it a few months down the road. The service is what makes people come back! She nailed it.The cocktails were delicious as well, we are familiar with the craft cocktail scene and these drinks were on point and an awesome price! Ambience was spot on too.Next time we are in LA we will return!“
“We went on Saturday night around 9pm, cocktails were outstanding!! Delicious and balanced! Great prices and there were 2 people attending the whole place but it was not too crowded, we ordered fries with steak and the meat was very soft, we'll definitely come back , lots of street parking!“
“We liked it a lot! I went with my family, and all the dishes we ordered were very well served and delicious. We ordered birria, a fish fillet, some tacos, chicken fajitas and Menudo. Excellent service and the place is very cozy.I highly recommend this place!!“
“Great drinks! A little loud inside but they have a great outside patio where you can play some games and chat. Inside they got gaming consoles and games to play at the booths! Great activities to do while you wait, and the staff are very attentive! Loved the calm fun “
“Always the go to for a simple yet lively and fun time with friends and great food! Chad is always a ray of sunshine when he is there...an extra bonus! And Gen is such a on it server. You just can not beat the vibe there, great service, great food...and you are always walking out making new friends! I can't think of a negative time here....and tonight was just another kick ass fun times!! If you ever need a place that is accomodating to parties, celebrations, or just to unwind...this is it!“
“Saw a regular get kicked out today for making a woman feel uncomfortable and refusing to apologize when the Bartender asked him to and after the woman informed the regular that he made her feel uncomfortable (he touched her inappropriately, I saw it, a gracious apology was warranted). Good people work at this bar, I’ll be back.“
“I've been coming here to Bodevi many times this past year. I was so stoked when I found out they serve wine AND espresso. I initially was drawn to their WINE FLIGHTS and VEGAN CHARCUTERIE. But lately maybe because of the cold weather I've been craving their LOX & CREAM CHEESE TOAST and BLUEBERRY GINGER LATTE. They pay really great attention to detail because my lox toast is perfectly spread all the way to the edges. The salmon perfectly scrunched for texture (not just laid out flat) and topped with sliced red onions. Then drizzled with oil I think and perfectly garnished with dill and capers...yumm!! Love the orange slices as well! The blueberry ginger latte is so unique and pretty! It has a richness to it like mocha but perfectly balanced. I get mine with oat milk. And I love seeing actual blueberries on it to give it a nice finishing touch. Get this before they switch out their seasonal menu! Once the weather warms up I may go back to trying their wine flights again. I recommend THE DAVID BOWIE so you can have the assortment of white, rose, and red if you're trying their wines for the first time. Other items I definitely recommend are the BURRATA PISTACHIO SANDWICH (I get mine minus the prosciutto to make it vegetarian) , the VEGAN DELI SANDWICH, and the DEVILED EGGS. You can't go wrong with those. They're delicious! They even have an assortment of board games, chess, and checkers that you can play in the private room in the back. So chic and charming for big parties! Service is wonderful! My lattes always come out perfect here made by Caleb and Melissa! And like I said they pay attention to detail. There's also a self serve water station by the bar. Parking is FREE in the back parking lot. Front parking you have to pay for with coins not credit cards. Such an absolute GEM in San Fernando!“

“Every time I visit LA I stop by Spitz for a Mediterranean falafel wrap and half and half fries. It is always consistent, fresh, flavorful and filling. I crave the falafel wrap when I'm back home on the East Coast but haven't found anything that compares.“
“I had so much fun watching the 49ers here on Sunday. Such great vibes and I am definitely looking forward to watching the Super Bowl at the oaks. Solid group of San Francisco fans and the game is on a lot of TVs so you can see it all from any seat. Hannah the bartender is rad!“
“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.“

“MY FAVORITE LA BAR!!! My review is loooong overdue as I've been coming here for years. I've moved further South on Ventura but I still manage to come to what I feel is my home in bar form. I'm a woman who loves mixology and good bartending and most bars are extremely male centric. TLP is great for women and men. It wouldn't surprise me that many women love this bar. You will hear everyone mention "the feel" of the bar and it's because they seem to consistently hire AMAZING BAR AND WAIT STAFF. Kudos to management for keeping such excellent consistency. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME..I come to the bar I sit at the bar and get an INCREDIBLE convo from the bartenders. They always serve me the most fantastic drinks and make me feel like a FUGGIN QUEEN. I love them so much for this. They manage people well and that's hard to come by. Even if I've had a bad day they seem to always say the thing that lifts my spirits -- it's wild. Therapy in a bar almost. lol Keep up the good work guys! See you again soon.“
“Sofi Daniela and Helsy are excellent and very friendly, they respectfully serve each of their clients. I recommend coming to this place after a long day of work to relax and have a chat with the girls…Sincerely from your friends at Kalaveras.! ????“
“A great atmosphere, I enjoyed the games on TV, it was Tequila Tuesday which was just fine by me, and the food was delicious! Absolutely a great time, I'm really glad that I went there for dinner. The server was fast, kind, and explained the menu to me. They only have Teramasu and 2 scoops of ice cream with liquor, not much of a desert place, but there was a lot around for sweets. Overall, I will definitely be coming back here with more people. On the left was the Blue Cheese Burger, and on the right was the Pastrami Jalapeño Burger. Their Chipotle Mayo was smokey to the taste, which was excellent.“
“My gal pal and I came for a drink here after doing some Sunday shopping. This place has a new and fresh vibe. They have a little something for everyone. Bartender was very nice. Bathroom was very clean. P.s don't park in the parking lot of the convenience store.“
“A very positive dining experience. The staff is awesome and the food delicious. From your first visit you're treated like an old friend. They even remembered my name after my first visit. Don't miss out, give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. “
“Awesome burgers. Awesome beer selection. Awesome attentive, friendly staff. We spent some time in the back bar area recently and had an absolute blast. The smash burgers are out of this world. Service was second to none. We'll be back.“
“Love this place! Haven’t been back since the start of the pandemic. They opened a large back patio and it’s great! Ordering food is easy and always delicious and they have get long tables in back. Game selection is great. Definitely come esp to get an inside table on the weekends though.“
“Went for a drive and a hike today. Ended up finding this wonderful little hole-in-the-wall bar. Letty/Lettie (sorry if I spelled that incorrectly) was so awesome! Super friendly and made us feel like regulars. Smiles and has conversations like you know her. Her attention to clients is 100%. I've worked in small bars for years so I know how they can sometimes be. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and really clean. I didn't play pool but they have a table. My only complaint is if you don't know the area Google maps does a horrible job of telling you where it is. For such a small area I didn't feel crowded. Will totally go again if I'm in the area. Thank you for the great experience!“
“I recently dined at Angelino Trattoria and had an amazing experience. The Roma pizza was absolutely delicious, with its perfect combination of flavors and a crispy crust that was just right. The mussels were cooked to perfection and the ravioli was filled with a delightful blend of ingredients that left me wanting more. The beet apple salad was a refreshing and unique dish that added a nice touch to my meal. Overall, everything I ordered at Angelino Trattoria was wonderful. The quality of the food, the attentive service, and the cozy atmosphere all contributed to an exceptional dining experience. I highly recommend this trattoria to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.“
“I saw some comments about “not great food” and absolutely disagree with them! Among great cocktails and lots of draft beer variations they have very delicious food - we got artichoke deep and blue cheese burger - all was super delicious! They have a patio too for big crowds. Will come back for sure!“
“Was highly recommended for me to come here from a close friend and definitely lived up to the praise she gave. The service was amazing and food was great. Our server and barkeep was Scott and he was wonderful and made the experience there so much better. The ambiance was great too, I love quiet and intimate spaces where you can truly focus on whomever your with without have to speak over loud music or heavy chatter. Lighting really elevated the feel as well. Price wise, itd be considered pricier than normal but I do think it's worth it. Will definitely be coming back.“
“Consistently fantastic. Been coming here monthly for 3+ years now, literally never had a bad time. Owner regularly chats me and my wife/friends up. All of the staff have been here for a long time and are super helpful. Great atmosphere, food is consistently good, and they always have a big selection of beers on tap. Can't go wrong with paragon!Parking: Easy. Plenty.Kid-friendliness: It has a bar but it's not rowdy or anything. My six year old comes here.Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, all flat“
“The staff are all friendly beer freaks and they’re excited to point you towards the stuff they like. Hyper-curated taps and a massive can selection that changes constantly. Add in the fact that dogs are welcome and you have the perfect beer bar. No food, just trucks, but I’m giving the food five stars out of runaway enthusiasm.Parking: Parking lot is off the alley behind the bank next door, but there’s lots of it.“
“Don't miss this amazing gem hiding in plain sight on Ventura Blvd! This wine bar is your next happy hour or late night stop. My husband surprised me with our first visit, and upon first glance, I thought we were strolling up to the Tipsy Cow. When we deviated to the entrance of Buvette, I was surprised by an understated front door but immediately delighted with a beautiful interior. We sat at the bar, but the booths were gorgeous and intimate. My husband got the Granacha and I got the Moschofilero - both were delicious and easy-drinking. There are specific wines on the happy hour menu, so be sure to ask. And although not on the physical HH menu, the QR code on the back revealed an online HH menu with the "Adult Lunchable". Between the free bar mix (corn nuts, crunchy chickpeas and Lima beans??), and the Lunchable, it was a perfect amount of food between the two of us to keep it light but to feel satiated. Sam was behind the bar when we were there and she was so nice! We can't wait to come back to this beautiful bar and try more from their specially curated list of wines!TIPS: Street parking only. If you really love wine and wanna get your fill outside of your typical wine choices, consider signing up for their Wine Club!“
“Anyone who says this isn't a cool place to hang is just wrong! I love this bar! The staff is great and the drinks are relatively cheap and the vibe is amazing. So chill. Good music. Seen some cool bands play here. One of my faves! Also an amazing location to shoot a film. Ask the owner about renting the place out.“
“This has been a go to place for some time now. The food is pretty consistent, the service leaves some to be desired if your in the bar area, although I am sure it is very good in the dining room section. If Laura is your server, do yourself a favor and double check your bill as she is known for adding on what you did not order.“
“I did not eat so I’m not sure if this place offers food. The drinks are affordable and they have live bands play. I saw “Animal sleep” and they were a chaotic group which happened to be really good.. I would see them again and I would also attend this bar againParking: You can find parking along the one way driveway following around the back“
“Loved the delicious cheeseburger, hot crispy sandwich, and calamari. Can't go wrong with these! The service was so so. It took 2 servers to make us happy if that tells you something... refilling water and getting side items in a timely matter.“
“This place is really cool... great vibe and not overly crowded. Definitely would have given it 5 stars but they allow smoking on the small patio and the whole area becomes rather unpleasant. I'm definitely going back but I'll be drinking inside.“
“Loved this little diner. It was our first time there and we weren't disappointed. The waiters were friendly and patient as we weren't sure what to order. Our waiter was very accommodating to my order as well. It was quiet and clean, and there was plenty of seating inside. I'm not sure how it gets on the weekends as we went during the week.“
“Loved coming to this place after a date night. I recommend coming to this place after dinner to play some games and get some drinks. They have some fun drink options and it's LGBTQ+ friendly! The games are classic and entertaining and not expensive. Very nostalgic and sweet. The staff were friendly as well. Hope they stay open forever.“
“Cute little bar, with some amazing service. The bartender was on his own and managed to keep about 50 people taken care of, at all times. There's no food but there's a few places to eat close by. Highly recommend this bar, for a friendly gathering.“
“Honestly this is the best time in town to relax, have a drink and a bite to eat. Everything about this place is class. They make great strong drinks and the food is better than you would expect. Not to mention their happy hour is definitely the best in the area and available from 3-6 m-f. I love their Smash burger and brisket tacos. Their wings and pies are good too. Brian is the best I’m sure you will meet him if you frequent this place like I do. He always makes you feel comfortable and is very friendly and genuine.Great for watching sports even though the vibe isn’t a sports bar. It’s a classy establishment.“
“We tried this location a week ago and had to write about it. We arrived right when it opened. Ambiance was great, the music played was a great touch. Patricia our server did an amazing job with the somewhat large group we had. The food was reasonably size and very tasty. If you do end up ordering the chicken parm just know it's a little too salty but still very satisfying.“
“I had dinner here to celebrate my sister's birthday, and the service was exceptional. Pablo, the manager, warmly greeted me and took care of everything once I mentioned the occasion. He even surprised us with a dessert and led the crew in singing happy birthday. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and the servers were outstanding. I would definitely come here again.“
“Omg, we ended up at this restaurant looking for another one, it was a blessing in disguise. The food is amazing, we all had different dishes and we all loved them. The mango margarita was the bomb. Our waiter Juan was so attentive and courteous. I will be coming “
“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.“

“My companion and I ordered the rack of lamb, which came with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The lamb was delightfully seasoned and so tender! The mashed potatoes, though a small portion, were delicious, as were the fresh vegetables, broccoli and carrots.  For dessert we ordered carrot cake. What a huge portion !!  It tasted fresh and quite yummy! Our server was excellent, and kept coming around to see if we needed anything. The place itself is very historic, could use a fresh coat of paint, but the ambience was lovely.“
“Stopped by the backdrop lounge while waiting for some friends and I just say your bartender was awesome !!! She not only is friendly and approachable she is very knowledgeable about the area. She recommended places to go dancing, watch comedy shows and made my waiting fly bye. Will definitely be coming back to be served the best chilled drinks by Olivia !!“
