“Casual but nice. Service and staff are very kind and knowledgeable. Recommended wine based on my preferences.Food was very good but I think they put cream in the carbonara… and a poached egg on top. I’ve seen this at other LA restaurants- not sure why it’s a thing.Good portion sizes.“
“Went here after we were referred by a friend and it was well worth it! Food was so good. Our waitress Sarah was very friendly and even recommended great food choices. The pork belly was amazing, crispy Brussels are amazing and the crispy rice spicy salmon ?“
“First time going. Went for a late lunch. Staff was very friendly & the food came out fast. This has an elevated or more modern vibe compared to other "traditional" Mexican restaurants with familiar menu items (tacos, chips&guac, street corn) but several premium items (tomahawk steak, lobster bomba rice) or unique options (jimca salad, shrimp chile) as well. I like the small plates and tacos but also appreciate the large plates for dinner. They also have mocktails which are fantastic- we had spicy passionfruit. Wel will ne neck amd the atmosphere is lively from watching sports to a date night.“
“Super delicious Omakase experience! I'd definitely like to go back on a week night for a few rolls. We did a double date here the other night and there was a mixup with our order and we waited a long time but they made it right. I definitely recommend the Omakase experience! My favorite was the nigiri and sashimi. Super fresh and all the details on top of the fish were delicious. Creamy caviar at one point ! This place is in a busy area, so parking is hard, get there early! I appreciate the upscale vibe in the midst of a lot of restaurants, its stands apart!“
“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.“
“The Great Greek restaurant on Ventura Blvd is an authentic Grecian eatery in Los Angeles, CA. The environment is charming and the service is outstanding! The food is mouthwatering. The Greek Meatball and Pasta in red sauce is a fantastic heavy dish!“

“Came here on a Saturday night around 10pm. Pretty packed, but it's not like you are crammed like sardines. My friends and I got some food and it was decent, typical bar food. The highlight of coming here was the cocktails. They have a list of specialty cocktails, and they are all very modestly priced (they are also delicious). Overall, a pretty normal, casual bar to come to with friends.“
“We had a blast! Sherman Oaks-EncinoChamber of Commerce hosted a networking mixer event here. The owner presented us with some history and lite bites. I will definitely return to support and have a great time.This was our second time going on Tuesday’s Open Mic Night! The artists are talented.We’ve been highly pleased with the staff service, atmosphere, and characters. We are delighted to add The Barrel to our normal routine.“
“Finally a place I can order 1/2 lb of shrimp if I just want enough for myself. Not forced to pay for more than I need. The "Big Boy" beer is just a great deal and lives up to its name for sure! Try the catfish fry it's super fresh and the Cajun season fries are drool worthy! Really nice staff that is always there to assist if anything is needed. It's also very clean and spacious inside with a hand wash station available outside the restrooms. Very happy with my visits here, I live down the street and I'm very happy about being able to get this whenever I want!“
“Place is cool and they have a pretty decent size menu and good variety drinks.Happy hour is all day on weekends , only thing they need to update there online menu and prices and it does tend to get pretty crowded. You can get milkshakes regular or boozy. Only thing is order them before 930 pmOther than that it's a cool little place.Parking: Parking is street parking.or park in the lot across the street .“
“We are really impressed with this establishment. Very beautiful decor and comfortable chairs and booths. But the food is just divine. This time we started with the ceviche, which comes with scallops and shrimp but we went for just all shrimp, and it was very very good. On a lovely bed of avocado onion mash. Then he had the braised Carnitas and said that they were excellent. I had the chicken enchiladas with extra beans and all the food here every time we've eaten is very flavorful and satisfying. Very decent wine selection as well. It was busier than usual, which was very nice to see. We hope to come here and watch some of the Thursday night football games on prime but they don't have prime so hopefully next year they will incorporate that. Will be back!“
“Most excellent experience and food was perfect. We had the duck eggrolls and the ricotta stuffed squash blossoms as starters, both had a delish specialty drink. I had the house burger with 3 different meats ground in including wagyu. Was done perfectly med rare. No room for dessert this time. Will def go back. Service was nice, we sat at the bar. All in all a great experience.“
