“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.“
“Food and wine selection at AOC is very good. The service is what stood out most. I dined here Monday night and the hostess was very kind. Michael our waiter really made our night. He had great menu and drink recommendations and his positive attitude was so infectious it really made our night. He really set the standard for amazing service. We will be back asap to see him!“
“Great service and fabulous space. Liam is a wonderful waiter and host. He's kind, friendly and attentive. Darren the general manager was very accommodating to me and my friends while I celebrated my birthday as they were busy with a big event. Wonderful time, fabulous music and delicious cocktails. Will definitely be back soon ?✌?“
“The restaurant needs to buy one can of WD-40 to fix their squeaky front door. Had to wait 20 minutes outside the front door waiting for our table (which was not a big deal) but for the incredibly squeaky front door which opens repeatedly. Everyone waiting for their table was getting a headache. Food was great. I won't return until I know that door is fixed.“
“The influence of Alice Waters and David Tennis is at play in the $45 prix fixe 3-course lunch, simple, elegant and delicious. The rest of the menu, except the desserts and cocktails, looks to be uninterestingly pedestrian. Recently, a salad of thinly shaved manchego, mint, beets and radicchio first course and a perfectly cooked Sea bass, very plump clams, broad beans, and fennel second course in a seafood broth lightly seasoned with dill were superb, as were desserts that our waiter allowed us to substitute for the third course. Highly recommended for lunch.“
“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“
“One of the most authentic and reliable Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. The food has been consistently superior and delicious. What makes it even greater is that it is never overpriced like some other pretentious eateries. I have been there many times and I will go there again!“
“"Melanie Wine Bar is an absolute gem! From the cozy ambiance to the exquisite selection of wines, every visit is a delightful experience. The staff are knowledgeable and attentive, always ready to recommend the perfect pairing for your palate. Whether you're a wine aficionado or just looking for a relaxing evening out, Melanie Wine Bar is a must-visit destination. I highly recommend it!"“
“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“
“Surprise, surprise the best Tuscan sandwich in town. Their Schiacciata is superior to Antico Vinaio's and the sandwich ingredient combinations are more balanced than Tre-Mani. The Monday-Tuesday all day pasta is another great option.“
“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.“
“Barrique offers an intimate dining experience with a mix of hits and misses on the menu.The 18-month aged prosciutto and burrata appetizer delighted with its flavors, while the octopus fell short in texture. The standout dish was undeniably the beet pasta, an absolute gem that left a lasting impression. However, the ribeye main dish, though good, suffered from an abundance of fatty pieces, detracting slightly from its overall appeal.The dessert, a Panna cotta with a cherry tart topping, was a delightful conclusion to the meal, showcasing a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess that left me thoroughly satisfied.The ambiance of Barrique is pleasant, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. While not every dish hit the mark, the standout offerings make it worth a visit for those seeking inventive Italian cuisine in Venice. Overall, Barrique provides a solid dining experience that still warrants a recommendation“
“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.“
“I can't say enough about the food, service and extremely professional staff. There were 6 in our party and the server didn't miss a beat. Such a memorable evening. The food and wine, exceptional. If you want to impress friends, family and/or clients, dine here.“
“LA MUST GO! Everything we ordered from the scallops to the jamon and the mushrooms were delicious. And the spicy calabrese pizza was SOO good. The presentation of the food was also a treat. The service was great, the ambiance was cozy and quaint, and the owner was as generous and kind as could be. We had an exceptional experience and will be returning soon.“
“Amazing amazing spot. Even non vegans would love this place, everything is truly delicious. The wine is great too. The staff are so friendly; Trevor was our server and he was an absolute gem. Can’t wait to go back. You can’t miss this place!“
“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!“
“We wanted to taste some wines and have a good time, this place was a great experience. The server Ross was outstanding and help us found the wine that we like the most. There a few boarding games you can use while enjoying your wine and cheese board.“
“Our experience at this restaurant was top notch. The food was excellent, but the service was perfect. They were so nice and accommodating. It was literally the best restaurant for kids, even though they don't have a children's menu! They offered half portions of pasta for our kids, and made a special "plain" dish for my picker eater. They also were very patient and helpful in dealing with a food allergy. Casual dress was just fine, although the interior and the food feel "fancy." The location is extremely convenient (just around the corner) if you are staying at the SLS hotel. Highly recommended.“
“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“
“Bodega has best of both worlds! You can grab a coffee and get some work done or you can grab a glass of wine and catch up with friends. I love coming here for both! Also their pizza is the best pizza in LA in my opinion ! At 5pm everyone puts their laptops away and it turns into an actual wine bar! LOVE IT ! Service is great! Ambiance is so cool! Lots of natural light which gives it a coffee shop feel! There's tall tables, a long bar and also couches to sit. They also have an outside patio for those warm sunny days !“
“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 staff were absolutely amazing! They were very knowledgeable on the menu items and made me feel special. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the experience they have. They all worked as a team to ensure the best possible service. The food was great, and the timing was perfect. I would definitely recommend this place, and if I am ever back in the area will be sure to stop!“
“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!“
“A high quality spot right off the boardwalk. The pastas and steak were fantastic. The menu always has new items worth trying. The staff are friendly, know the menu inside and out, and have great suggestions. The squash blossoms are a go-to appetizer but honestly everything is good. I noticed a few customers had dietary restrictions and the staff came out with a menu marked with notes to help them order. Super nice!Vegetarian options: Can ask staff for custom orderDietary restrictions: Can order custom - they will mark the menu with what they can accommodateParking: Limited parking with free street and valet nearbyWheelchair accessibility: All one level with ramps“
“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.“
“Yet another yummy & memorable meal. Server Chris was a delight, help staff expedient. Tonight owner chef Suzanne was sadly gone & older man Host very very rude as he doesn't understand Fed & CA & LA Laws about clearly marked & bibbed Service Animals, esp a 10# tiny CavaPoo that is extremely well-behaved & lies quietly on floor as if not present. Refusing our OT resy nice Dining Room Table several times in an attempt to place us in the empty & barren & unwanted bar corner area was a BIG mistake...luckily he gave in as confronted on his wrongdoing. Missing owner chef Suzanne would have likely been upset with him too...“
“This is a really nice location if you want to be in the luxury stores and restaurants. The rooms are lovely decorated. But... I do not recommend this hotel for you to stay, even if it is renewed and renowned, the staff at the terrace restaurant is slow and not really willing to help you, the only one really nice is BRYAN if you go ask for him.The room quality is ok the drapes do not close so you'll sleep with a ray of light, the pillows are awful and they can't do anything to solve the problem. At the valet only if you ask twice they will assist you. They have a lot of things to work on in order to be truly five stars. So far it is like an expensive four star hotel.Nearby activities: Just nearby activities.“
“A restaurant full of energy. From the chefs to the service staff, the owners, and the music, everything is charged with vitality. The dishes are fantastic, and the fish is freshly caught by the owner. The wine and champagne selection is good, and you can have any wine from the shelf chilled on ice. Fantastic.“
“A hidden gem! The food is to die for and the service is amazing. All the pasta dishes I’ve posted here are also kid approved!!! Generous serving of each dish so we didn’t get a chance to try any desserts, but I’m told they are also really tasty ? ?“
“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!“
“This was an amazing place for the surprise b-day for my wife. Thank you! Food/wine/vibe was beyond all expectations, and Laurie is the BEST! She went out of her way to help me pull this off, even though this was our first time dining with them. We will definitely be coming back. LOVE this special spot!“
“Took 2 friends there to celebrate a birthday. Food and service were very good. Noise level was WAY too high. We were in a small room in the rear with just 3 tables: ours, one with two men and an empty table. The two men were talking so loud that we couldn't hear each other at our own table. We commented to our server (who kind of shrugged) and then finally one of the women at our table calmly, politely told the men she was enjoying their conversation but couldn't hear the conversation at our own table. They chuckled ("are we talking too loud?") and then proceeded to continue their conversation. It was so uncomfortable that the woman celebrating her birthday said although she liked the food she'd never return to the restaurant. The men had finished their meal about halfway through our meal and we were anxiously waiting for them to leave, but they didn't. Definitely left a bad taste in our mouths. I think the server, or host, could have helped to have them turn down the volume.“
“It seems like there is a scarcity of wine bars in L.A., in general. Thus, we were thrilled to unexpectedly find Offhand. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious, and the service was friendly. We enjoyed our wine and beer choices while sitting in the chill outdoor seating area. We only wish they had more vegetarian options on the menu. We didn't order food because of that reason. We would also be interested in trying wine flights. Great place, and we want to come back for their coffee.“
“This is one of our favorites. Incredible service with no pretention and the food is exquisite. Grab a spot at the bar on a Saturday at 6:30pm and enjoy great cocktails, one of the best wines by the glass menus and just the best food. No scene, no nonsense. Just a great dining experience. Don't bring your “
“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.“
“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!“
“I really like their concept and artfully designed menu. This place is a must for those who enjoy trying high end and unique specialty cocktails in a small upscale atmosphere. Cons: price is high but I get quality. They used to open at 3 but now don’t open until 5 so I can’t go randomly anymore ?“
“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 :)“
“Thanks you Daniel and the staff for an amazing experience. I don’t share this lightly after many disappointing donning experiences in LA. Everything was excellent both food and service. We had the meat and cheese charcuterie board where everything was superb. Their specialty cocktail, the Fizz’d Out, was one of the best we have ever had and their wine list was not only impressive but was reasonably priced. The chicken confit was exceptional and the apple tart was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Dont sleep on the vegetable sides too. Thank you! We will be back.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian sides“
“I love the concept of this restaurant and the service was spot on great! We sampled several dishes from the menu and I can highly recommend the yummy ribs, the swiss chard, and the asparagus was super (done with a tangerine sauce that was amazing)! The deviled egg was delightful as well as the tomato puree on toasts, a nice palette cleanser...And the goat milk flan was a desert winner!! I will say a few dishes just weren't up to par - the skewered calamari was underwhelming, not well spiced and rather bland, and the garling shrimp was overwhelming with too much garlic (and we were all garlic lovers). I was glad we asked for a quiet table, tucked up in the corner of the upstairs area (we had a double birthday dinner), because the noise level in general was very high. I recommend seating up on the balcony if possible. All in all, however, it was a great experience and we'll certainly go back and sample some more dishes from this neighborhood gem.“
“We got the chef recommended Pesto Chicken Panini and the Demi Glace Brisket Pita and they were both delicious, but what I really thought was interesting is the onion rings. It's made in house and I haven't had an onion ring like it anywhere else. Thin batter but super crispy and it's kind of infused with what looks like everything bagel seasoning.I live nearby so I'll definitely be back to try the other menu items. I have my eyes set on the fried chicken pita next.“
“When the yearning for authentic Spanish cuisine beckons, "La Paella" emerges as a culinary beacon, brilliantly capturing the essence of Spain's rich gastronomic landscape. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the ambiance transported us back to the vibrant streets of Spain, enveloped in warmth and the tantalizing aroma of spices.The service was nothing short of exemplary, with staff members who not only knew the menu inside out but also shared their enthusiasm for the flavors and traditions of their dishes. Each recommendation was spot on, adding to the overall delightful experience.The star of the evening was undoubtedly the squid ink paella. Its bold flavors and perfectly cooked seafood were a testament to the chef's mastery. Each grain of rice was infused with the deep, oceanic essence of squid ink, creating a dish that was as visually arresting as it was delectable. Every plate brought to our table was a hit, making it a thoroughly enjoyable dining experience for the whole family."La Paella" has certainly set a high standard for Spanish cuisine outside of Spain. It's a gem worth returning to, and we are already planning our next visit to delve deeper into the menu. If you're seeking an authentic taste of Spain, this is a place you won't want to miss.“
“I don't know why it's taken me so long to leave a review but this is hands down my favorite local wine spot. First, every time I have come here, the staff is super nice and knowledgeable. I've done wine tastings here as well as just stopping in for drinks with friends and each time, it has been great. The inside and outside has a cozy local feel to it. The wines are delicious and everything I have had has an amazing taste to it. Today was the first time I tried their orange wine and it was so refreshing and tasty. On my previous visits, I've had their pizza and charcuterie boards which was as equally delicious as their wines. Today, I came during brunch and while I didn't get to eat there, I loved how they had a grill outside the restaurant where you can see the food being cooked. It smelled so good! Great local spot for friends and family. I highly recommend.“
“Love this place! Friendly staff, greats drinks. It's not a party environment, the energy is very laidback. Great place to have a genuine conversation with friends/dates, you won't need to shout but you'll still be in a buzzing, fun atmosphere“
“A California Style Mediterranean Restaurant, the menu ingredients fuse Mediterranean Cuisine with Asian Cuisine. Happy Hour is the best time to go 50% off. My favorite dishes are the Southeast Asian inspired Beef Tartar with Tapioca Waffer, similar texture as a Chinese Shrimp Chip. The Branzino is the best entrée, Roasted crispy skin. Every few minutes you'll see Flaming Saganaki Served at a neighboring tables.“
“Absolutely a neighborhood favorite for Samo subs. Amazing ambiance, warm staff, and an impressive variety of dietary-friendly options on the menu. Highly recommended dishes include grilled octopus, mussels, chopped salad, tuna tartare, short ribs, bucatini, chicken under a brick, and grilled carrots. Despite its size, the restaurant offers ample space for lengthy conversations and boasts an excellent selection of wines.“
“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.“
“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 .“
