“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29“

“Totally unexpected find in generally sleepy Montrose! Delighted we found Backbone after living here for 15 years and missing having an elevated meal close by. We shared one appetizer (corn agnolotti) and two entrees (NY strip and ribeye, tai snapper) and all of the food was delicious. The corn agnolotti was al dente and a mix of sweet (corn) and buttery and lemony (sauce). Both the steak and ribeye were tender and flavorful, and the snapper was moist and served with a delightful charred kale. Ask for bread to sop up the agnolotti sauce! Staff was friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed our meal!“

“amazing food, service and home feeling“

“The food was delicious and a great place to dine. Next time bring some friends and enjoy the food“

“After our Altadena house burned down, we relocated to Barker Block and absolutely love being so close to Manuela. We used to have a fire table like yours, so dining here always carries a sense of home. Last night we brought friends, and they said, ‘This makes it hard to go out to eat in Monrovia—our restaurants cut corners with cheap ingredients and fast turnover.’ What your chefs create is the opposite: dishes with not just incredible flavor but extraordinary texture and detail. Their expertise is off the charts, and I highly recommend.“

“Literally one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had. They delivered 25 min after my order was placed. Fries were still crispy!!! Very delicious.“

“Relax atmosphere, awesome service and good food!“

“I recommend Botanica to everyone. They use fresh hand picked ingredients and the food is delicous! Their cocktails and desserts are so yum. I picked up some chile oil and pickled local veggies for gifts for my friends! Chef Zarah and the staff are best. Will definitely be returning soon.“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“Had a lovely dinner and our server Jade was excellent! The shrimp cocktail was delicious and the hot fried catfish and fried hen sublime! A wonderful experience!“

“The Braised Beef and Mushrooms with Mashed Potatoes . Mashed potatoes were so creamy I could had eaten a whole bowl of it by itself but Beef and mushrooms Just took it to whole other level“

“Excellent service. Great beer. Great food. I Love the ambiance.“

“Great food and service. Loved the the rooftop dining!“

“Salad was tasty . I’ll be back to try burgers they looked amazing .“

“My friends and I had a wonderful experience at Cannonball. First of all, the biscuits are to die for. We ordered the prawns and they were extremely tasty. We shared the sea bream and that was a very tasty and interesting dish. The presentation was beautiful especially with all the colorful ingredients.“

“Fast friendly professional service and hot delicious food! I’ll definitely return 🥰“

“I went there about 9pm 6-4-26 Kathyn had the best costumer service out of any Yard House I've ever been too. The rest of the the staff is also excellent and very friendly. I will make my drive from Long Beach to eat there again it's worth my drive.“

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.“

“A great place to be in Los Angeles‼️“

“Artisans, but more than that. World class.

No other food has made me feel the way that the magic from this kitchen does. Without exaggeration, Bourdain spent his whole career chasing what's here: the kind of food made by a family with genius instincts, who grinds, ferments, smokes, cures, and pickles to mouthwatering effect. It's nirvana. Every single time.

I think I've had almost everything on the menu by now. Loved it all, without exception. My repeats have included the huevos rancheros and the huarache azul. Oh, the huarache! Blue corn masa, frijoles, suadero that melts in your mouth because of their patience with it (you can tell), all dressed with salsa macha negra and crema. A fried egg on top. It's fire.

The flan con pecanas is Plato's ideal of flan. Silky and sumptuous. The texture from the pecans makes the whole thing feel like a love song.

And by now, I've been here enough times to see the true warmth of the family behind the magic. Not only does it radiate outward from the food at each of the (few) tables, but people also reflect it back to them. You can feel it. That is not a small thing. That is actually the whole thing.

I drive two hours for this experience, and I'd drive more. Go. Drive however far you need to. Leave speechless.“

“I had a really nice time at Little Beast Restaurant. The place has a cozy and relaxed vibe, perfect for just sitting back and enjoying good food. Everything we ordered came out fresh and full of flavor, you can tell they care about quality. The staff was friendly and made sure we were comfortable the whole time, which I really appreciated. Service was smooth and not rushed at all. It’s one of those spots where you just feel good being there. Definitely a place I’d come back to again when I’m craving something tasty and chill.“

“Amazing food, the place wonderful. Excelent service. I love it.“

“Curbside pickup for me & my daughter“

“Excellent Filipino fusion food.“

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place“

“The servings at this restaurant are HUGE! Just know that before you make my same mistake of ordering an appetizer and a meal AND a salad.

Queso was quite good. Vegetarian options plentiful. Side salad was easily the size of a main salad. The fettuccine was on the drier side, but I’m willing to forgive them for having Gardein on their menu.“

“Excellent food, great service and environment. Feels homey with gourmet cuisine. Consistently great, we come here about once a month. Drinks are excellent too. Thank you.“

“Wonderful spot!
The food is excellent!
I had their burger and it was superb!
Delicious!
The service is great…so warm! Felt as if I were having a terrific meal at a friend’s or favorite family member’s place!
Highly recommend!!“

“Unlike most beautiful, scenic restaurants in LA, where the atmosphere is stunning and the food tastes like it came from a prison, Cara Cara has managed to smash every single mark out of the ballpark. From the incredible food and drinks to the delightfully sweet and helpful staff, the cherry on top of all of it is the incredible view of DTLA. As a certified NYC food snob, I have been deeply underwhelmed by SO many restaurants out here. So grateful I found Cara Cara. It is hands down my new favorite spot.“

“Omg. It’s June 6th and this review is for Easter Sunday Brunch for Alexandros. The Waiter from Greece. Sorry for the delayed review Alexandros that I promised. Food and service here, impeccable, amazing, flawless. Alexandros is an amazing waiter.
Thank you.“

“How did this quirky gem evade my notice for five years?! I guess because they're only open Friday and Saturday. This may be the best restaurant in Pasadena. Inventive creole-inspired food. Everyone raved. Only thing I would change is to have it a little quieter. But our four-top could still converse well.“

“Harbor House is the kind of place that makes it easy to slow down and enjoy a relaxed meal by the water. The waterfront setting really adds to the overall atmosphere and gives the restaurant a calm, scenic feel that works well for both casual lunches and dinners with friends or family. The seafood consistently tastes fresh, especially dishes like the fish tacos and grilled seafood platters, which are full of flavor without feeling overly heavy. The menu also has a good mix of seafood and classic American options, so there’s something for different tastes. Service feels friendly and laid-back, matching the overall vibe of the location. Overall, it’s a reliable spot if you’re looking for good food, waterfront views, and a comfortable dining experience.“

“Very good food, and great cocktails. Wait staff was friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our experience.“

“I have been frequenting hotel Le’Meridian that has Longitude 118 bar lately. I specifically want to give a shout out to Erik who works the [early] a.m. shift at Longitude 118. He is always accommodating and VERY customer-friendly! I enjoy our conversations when I’m sitting at the bar. He always has a smile on his face and he’s very down to earth. I feel like he is a great asset to the company! There are others in separate reviews that I would name specifically as well, but in this one I want to especially highlight Erik! He truly goes above and beyond! @Longitude118 #Logitude118Ar Asia“

“Fantastic service. The specialties and house signature food and drink are fabulous. I had the braised short rib and the house dirty martini. Delicious. Also please try the truffle deviled eggs, Brussels sprouts and truffle fries. Love this place.“

“Customer service is paramount not only for me, but specially when I am around family. Our server Schaeffer is not only superv to Customer Service but has great personality that makes me feel truly welcome!“

“Outdoor seating options are so cute, the couch is comfortable! The food is so good, we got a few pizzas, wings, and some garlic bread. Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had! The hot honey one is especially incredible. The place is also super clean, which is always nice.“

“The food is amazing. I highly recommend this bistro.“

“First time here. I ordered the Steak chimichurri sandwich. It was delicious. Had lots of flavor. My kid had their pizza, and we're very happy with it as well. All in all it was good experience for my first time. Will definitely come back and try a different meal.“

“Perfect place. Great food and atmosphere.“
