“The main dishes are great, but the fried won ton strips are always too greasy, like the oil wasn't hot enough when they were frying and the sweet sauce they serve with them always has a moldy taste.”
“I eat all over LA and all over the country. Do not listen to the bad reviews by dunces.This is destination dining and frankly I do not know of a better restaurant for *any* style of food.The tacos/burritos are great but you can get that stuff from a truck.This place has probably 7 or 8 of the tastiest sauces you will find on the planet.GO THAT ROUTE. Get something you don’t recognize and it’ll probably change your life.Green or black mole, spicy pasilla, the silkiest red ranchero sauce, and a verde so fresh and delicious that it literally tastes alive.Chips and salsa are elite. Best black beans I’ve ever had.Again if you want burritos and tacos(the homemade tortillas are???) these are great but there are great trucks for that.GET ONE OF THEIR SIGNATURE PLATES.LA’s best restaurant…nuff said.”
“We go in here all the time for dinner but for the first we had them cater a party. Everyone was so happy with the food. It was truly amazing and the delivery fee was well worth it. We of course will continue to come in for dinner but this will for sure be are go to for parties.”
“Food was good. Server was slow and had to be reminded a few times to bring all the things we had asked for. Also heard our server yelling bendejo at another server loudly. Not cool in front of my 88 year old mom. Had to wait a long time for the check after we were finished which was irritating as we wanted to get home.”
“It's one of the last, old-school restaurants in the SF Valley. They serve high quality, family style Italian food (e.g., not artisinal, nouvelle cuisine), and they have a great bar. Think Musso & Frank, Jr. with occasional live entertainment with a warm, gregarious community clientele and staff.”
“Always a solid choice for a date night out with my wife. Food is excellent, service is spot on - attentive without being overwhelming and the inside dining is perfect for a quiet romantic dinner. Prices are reasonable for quality of the food.”
“Came here because I had been craving BBQ and it was my birthday! I had actually come here with my family back in the summer for Father's day and remembered that the food was pretty good, so I was pretty excited!We came around 2-3 pm. Service was great; I love how our server was very courteous and was attentive to refilling our beverages without having to be flagged down.As for the food, first of all, their complementary garlic rolls are amazing! We ordered 3 entrees to split between two of us. We got the baby back ribs, the beef ribs, as well as the brisket. All of the meats were pretty good and has the same BBQ sauce so its hard to say which one was the "best". It just depends on what kind of texture you like!My reasoning for subtracting 1 star is that it is a bit pricey and each entree only comes with one side now. Moreover, the sides were not that great. We had the BBQ beans which tasted like standard canned ones lol, the mashed potatoes which were somehow dry?, and the mac n cheese which was OK if you're in the mood for that gooey velveeta type of style. Overall, the meat is pretty good, but without good sides, it makes it a little harder for me to enjoy.”
“The server was top notch. The vibe is pretty chill. 4 stars only cuz I got a margarita pizza and it was just a cheese pizza with some basil leaves tossed on top lol. That said it was a pretty good cheese pizza so I was ok about it, just funny.”
“I love Tally Rand. I have been going for several years and I keep going back for more. I love the food, the service and the family-like vibe. The freshness, the in-house made bread and muffins are to die for! They have a great full bar as well. One of their specialties is the turkey dinner ... check it out. I think you'll be pleased.”
“We loved this place and it will be a regular rotation spot for us. We had the Chicken Lasagna and the Portobello Marsala Chicken, both were very good, we also had crab cakes which were good. The service was excellent as well and they seem to have a good flow to everything. I've lived in the area for 2 years and tried a few places around and this is definitely the best. I loved that they didn't cram every guest in to tables next to each other and gave us space where they could, more places need need to take note of that.”
“Great breakfast spot. Been coming here for years and they are very consistent. Chilaquiles are great. Kids love the pancakes. Can vouch for the Benedict. French toast is made just right. If you don't get in early on weekends parking is tough and you can expect a wait but they do move people in and out. Haven't actually had lunch here.”
“Food was just OK ( I had enchiladas & my friend had tacos), BUT the chips / dip, mixed drinks ? and beer were awesome. Customer service was great too!!!! Great place to grab a few drinks.”
“After months of mediocre coffee, having a latte at Aroma's was a revelation. It was literally the perfect combination of espresso and milk. The beans were roasted, not burnt. The flavor was faintly bitter, but so much less so that I used less than half my normal amount of sweetener (A little bitter is wonderful: like a dark chocolate bonbon.) Aroma, much like its sister The Alcove, is beautiful. There is a combination of indoor and outdoor seating. Because of the weather, indoor was our natural choice. And while I envied the young woman that had snagged the fireside seat, the hall of Rembrandts was fine for me and my dining partner. Service was quick and, even though we were there toward the end of operating hours (9pm), we didn't feel rushed to give up our seats. Honestly my only criticism is one that, unfortunately, could be made about the variety of cafes and restaurants in Los Angeles: not enough parking. Otherwise: highly, highly recommended.”
“I came to Ventura on the bus number 16 from Ojai, I decided to stop in for ice cream at McCnnells ice cream shop. I got one scoop of their coffee ice cream and I am picky about my coffee ice cream none the less I took one bite then another and honesty felt like a child again enjoying ice cream for the first time. I have gone through radiation on my throat which messed up my taste buds I know good ice cream when ii have it. Good place too good. Recommend to all. ???”
“love this place! really old school feel on the inside. the bread and butter alone are to die for. they also have an amazing caesar salad. the pizza is delicious. they are heavy on the toppings, which may or may not be everyone’s preference.their pastas are okay”
“Our impromptu visit to Damon's was a delightful surprise, as the wait was surprisingly short. We savored every bite of the excellent chicken fried steak with macaroni and cheese, while the cobb salad appetizer was truly amazing, setting the bar high for the rest of the meal. Accompanying our dishes were strong and delicious Mai Tais and a Singapore Sling from the bar, perfectly complementing the tropical ambiance. Speaking of which, the Polynesian tiki decor was mesmerizing, transporting us back to the adventurous days of the 1960s. Not only was the atmosphere captivating, but the service was also quite good. Our waiter was knowledgeable and informative, providing recommendations that we would trust anytime. Their attentive care enhanced our dining experience, making it even more enjoyable. Overall, our visit to Damon's was memorable, filled with delicious food, strong cocktails, and exceptional service. We look forward to returning and experiencing the magic of this tropical paradise once again.”
“Nice cozy neighborhood coffee shop with some arts on display. Saw a stream of people kept coming in to the shop the entire time I was there. They must be well known in the area or their coffee is just good.”
“We have dined here several times last 24 months and really like it..Quality food.Atmosphere and service are great.The food portion size seems a bit small for the price. But well worth visiting from time to time..I recommend this location..”
“Stopped in for a quick pick me up. Ordered the chili fries and it hit the spot. The chili was well seasoned and paired greatly with the fries and queso on top. Definitely recommend if you want a unique spot. They have photos of all sorts of dogs on the walls and it makes you smile.”
“This place had such a good vibe - old fashioned in the best way and with a really wide range of great baked products, good and drinks.All the staff were really friendly.Great business!!”
“Long wait and tough parking, but good food and service as always!One thing that’s difficult is they call out orders and take orders through the same window. The line you stand in is also the only way in to the parking lot, so the line sometimes has to scatter so cars can roll through.Be aware — only outdoor seating.Parking: Limited lot parking, parking on street is limited and also somewhat limited in other lots nearby (but technically not supposed to be for in n out parking).”
“Had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant! Inviting ambiance, friendly staff, and delicious dishes made with home made ingredients.Best Persian food I’ve ever tried !Highly recommend!”
“This is our “go to” restaurant. Always consistent, always good! My husband's favorite is the Risotto del Mare, mine is usually the sole, but tonight I had the steak. Our friend had the chicken piccata. She has a gluten allergy and they are extremely accommodating. Everything was perfectly delicious!”
“Such great Chinese food! I'm glad they're open on Tuesdays now. I usually get pick up for Chicken Fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, or Shanghai noodles. The food is always perfect and delicious. Today though... I ordered SnS Chicken and when I went to pick it up they had told me they are no longer mixing the sauce in because it gets soggy. I love it soggy!! And it's not even soggy. Just a perfect sauce mix ratio. So who ever complained about it being soggy... you just ruined it!!! I'll order it next time and ask that the sauce is mixed in.”
“My wife and I were down this area and was craving a hot dog. So we Yelped hot dogs and this place came up. Very glad we did as the chili dogs were excellent. The hot dogs had that snap and were delicious as well as the chili. We will go back next time in the area. A+++”
“i’m gonna give my bare honest review, i’ve been here 2 times! PASTRIES N GOODS R SOOO BOMB !!! the croissant is so doughy and delish!! ughhh the mixed berry danish YUM, apple cinnamon twist PERF!!! they also offer varieties of croissant sandwiches & another type of bread but i forgot which kind… they have bobas, smoothies, juices, and what i came for lattes. both times i can taste the espresso is burnt…. never the less how outstanding the pastries are i still give this spot a 5 star. go try it it’s delish. i know there serving a lot and i’m sure there not crazily fixated if there pulling a clean shot. still love love this place and there FAIRLY reasonable in prices”
“Exceptional!! First time here and worthy of the numerous 5 star reviews. I had the Green and White and the flavors were amazing!! The staff were overly courteous and efficient. Highly recommend.”
“My boyfriend and I had the best breakfast here today!My order: veggie omelette, cheesy grits, country potatoes, and sourdough toastMy BF’s: bacon omelette, hash browns, pancakes, and a biscuit with gravyBefore you say anything- we were darn hungry ok??Keith & Jennifer were absolute sweethearts, filling up our coffee cups with every sip we took, even putting my man and I into a coffee drinking competition (it started with Keith saying to him, “You’re gonna let her out-drink you?”) and the chaos began ??Very appreciative of their wonderful service and the savory plates they cheffed up for us.Thank you- we will be back!!”
