“NOW OPEN!!!!!!!! Stop by and have a cold One!!!!!!“

“Topanga Social has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the Valley. We went to STK for dinner and had a fantastic time. The restaurant has a lively yet classy atmosphere that feels both modern and comfortable. It’s the kind of place that works equally well for a special celebration or a casual night out.

The food at STK was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish tasted like it was prepared with care, and portion sizes were just right. From start to finish, the quality really stood out. Service was just as impressive. Our server was attentive without hovering, answered all our questions, and kept everything moving at a great pace. Drinks, recommendations, timing—it all felt effortless, which made the evening that much more enjoyable.

After dinner, we went to the movie theatres at Topanga Social, and that was the perfect way to round out the night. The theatres were spotless, well-designed, and very comfortable. The reclining seats were a highlight, and the sound and screen quality were excellent. It was easy to relax and enjoy the movie without a single distraction.

What I love most about Topanga Social is that it combines everything in one place—great dining, entertainment, and a vibrant atmosphere. It feels like a destination rather than just a stop, and that makes it special. STK delivered on all fronts, and the theatres added an extra touch that made the whole evening memorable.

Five stars all the way—we’ll definitely be back!“

“The service was exceptional, and the food was fresh, perfectly prepared, beautifully plated, and delicious. The prices were surprisingly good, and I highly recommend this establishment.“

“The food here is so good! Authentic, huge portions, I haven't not finished a burrito in ages and I couldn't do it. They brought out chips and salsa... this is a takeout place. So nice. And I think there's a fun bar kinda night club vibe in the back. Come here. Its worth it.“

“This place is incredible, highly recommend! Amazing drinks, atmosphere and people! Kava is an excellent alternative to alcohol and I loved the Green Goblin drink which is a combination of Kava and Kratom. You can't find anything like it anywhere else! Check it out and enjoy!“

“Ive been hanging out here for over 25 years.. Great place, Great bartenders and Atmosphere.“

“We did not try the food, but the place looked clean and I would eat here. The bartender was fun and attentive. The DJ was having a great time and spinning a great mix of 80's, 90's and general good tunes. The clientele were nice and we had several conversations with guests. We will come back.“

“We used the place for a scene in a film. The place was really impressive. As a musician I usually find it hard to play gigs in smaller spaces. But this place is modern and updated. The stage is nice with plenty of room for a drum kit and still move around. They have nice stage lighting and an overall good musical club vibe. I will definitely book shows at this club for my band. It is a great spot for live shows.“

“Festive Friendly warm welcoming while doing I’ll upscale and elegant 🥂“

“Love the family treatment and my beers are always cold and tasty!“

“O’Grady’s in Granada Hills is the kind of spot you go to for a good drink and end up staying because the vibe is just right. The energy’s great, the music’s always on point, and the drinks definitely hit the spot.

But let’s be real , she is the real star of the show is Courtney behind the bar. She doesn’t just pour drinks, she makes the whole night better. Quick with a smile, sharper with a comeback, and she’s got this charm that makes you wonder if she’s mixing drinks or just straight-up magic. I came in for a cocktail and left wondering how someone can make bartending look that good.

If you’re looking for a place where the atmosphere is fun and the company is even better, O’Grady’s is it. And if Courtney’s working? Let’s just say you’re in for more than just a great drink.

First time I have ever been but last time I will look for a bar! Ive gone back 4 nights in a row hoping courtney is working... she needs more days on!!

Dannie and Mary Lou are super nice to.“

“I’ve been coming to this spot since it was the Celtic Raven, and I happened to walk in on Chela’s Cantina during its soft launch. I’ve been a regular ever since day one. The owner is phenomenal, and the crowd it attracts is just as great! friendly, welcoming, and full of good vibes.

There’s always something to do here: enjoy music, grab some food and drinks, hop on karaoke, or play a round of pool. While the alcohol selection is smaller compared to bigger bars, it actually introduced me to wine spirits and gave me a new appreciation for trying something different.

If you’re looking for a small, local atmosphere with a strong sense of community, I highly recommend Chela’s Cantina. It’s truly a hidden gem!“

“I stopped here to watch the Dodgers World Series game 1. This is the local dive bar, the crowd was loud but the Dodgers had a walkoff home run so I was expecting some noise. Pool table was old school, only a quarter to play with a chalkboard of who’s next. I had a fun evening and the lady behind the bar bought me a beer, how often does that ever happen. A five star evening for me!“

“Had such a great time last night , great bartenders , loved my drinks and Jell-O shots ... u can actually taste the alcohol not like other bars .... I recommend this place , they made me feel welcomed“

“I would consider myself a regular, I go here a few times a week.\nThe food is choice is extensive and when you walk in if you should see some cakes in the desert display, do take the time, they are baked by the owner, don't pass up!\nThe atmosphere is charming, the staff are as warm and friendly as they come, very nice group.\nIn short, a nice place for good home confront food.“

“Comida muy rica el servico muy bien“

“awesome atmosphere, fun events, great staff, and location.“

“Tried line dancing for the first time here and absolutely loved it. Even though the place was packed, it never felt chaotic or overwhelming, which made the whole experience really enjoyable.
As someone who had never done line dancing before, I really appreciated that there were beginner-friendly dances as well as more advanced ones for experienced dancers. One of the nicest parts of the night was simply watching the couples on the floor, they were clearly having a great time, and it added such a warm, fun energy to the atmosphere.“

“Our waiter ( mario) best person I know. Service was beyond amazing, would recommend to all! Thank you Mr.’Mario for the best service ever!“

“Love the place much. Classy and very clean! Foods are so delicious.“

“🤘 great place to see live bands“

“We came to Paragon Bar and Grill for brunch right after my daughter’s graduation from CSUN. I found the place through a quick internet search and didn’t really know what to expect, but I was able to make a reservation online for a party of 13 with no issue. Our reservation was right when they opened at 11am on a Sunday, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves—just a couple of people at the bar. The space definitely leans more bar than grill, but it worked well for our group. Very low-key and relaxed. The menu had plenty of options, which was great since we had a few picky eaters. Everyone found something they liked, and the food was excellent across the board. The service stood out—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. We didn’t order many drinks, but even so, I was surprised at how reasonable the bill was for such a large group. Only downside: the bathroom could use a refresh. It’s what you’d expect in a neighborhood bar—functional but not the highlight of the visit. Would absolutely go back. Great experience overall, and I really appreciate the staff for helping make the day special.“

“The service was excellent! Our server was incredibly attentive—she kept our chips, pico de gallo, and waters refilled throughout the meal and checked on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed for a relaxing dinner.

The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the shrimp fajitas while my husband had the asada tacos. The portions were perfect, and everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I only wish we lived closer so we could visit more often. This place is excellent!“

“The bar at the Valley Inn is perhaps one of the best kept secrets in LA. Yes, it’s tiny but get there early, secure your seat and you’re in for a ride of the greatest cocktails served up by a ladies and gentlemen’s gentleman - the maker with the shaker, Bill. Seriously, make a friend of this guy and then introduce him and the bar to your favorite people - only your favorite people! The food in the restaurant is great but a tad expensive but the bar will become your new happy place. Bravo“

“We walked over here for just a glass of wine and a late night snack. I can’t speak to the whole menu. We had a few glasses of wine and the calamari and we’re not disappointed. We ran into the most interesting people and love the entire vibe of this old school restaurant. We will definitely be back to try the full menu since the whole restaurant feels like a hug from the 70s. Every last person we ran into from the restaurant was super friendly and the service is absolutely on point. If the dinner service is anything like the service we got at the bar I’m sure it will be amazing.“

“My husband and I usually go during happy hour for their poke nachos and crispy brussel sprouts but have tried a few other things. Everything we've tried has been delicious but occasionally varies in preparation quality. We went on March 18th and ordered the poke nachos but they were not as good. The portion was a lot smaller than usual, so we decided to order another one. The second one came out great (I included a picture of the one prepared correctly) and that's when we realized they left off ingredients from the first one sent. They were still good but it was interesting that the two plates were that different. We didn't mention this to our waiter and I'm sure they would have been accommodating but maybe plates should be checked for quality before they're delivered?

Another note, we usually sit at the bar but we got a table the last time since the bar was packed. We were obviously fine with this but the cleanliness was extremely lacking. The menus had food on them and greasy fingerprints. I'm also not sure why the booths are never wiped down?? The tables are cleaned but the food just lands on the seats. Then you're wondering what else isn't cleaned, look around, and notice all the other spots that aren't wiped down. So gross.“

“Amazing food! Made to order, clean and beautiful dining area, excellent customer service. Tacos Al pastor, tacos de chicharrón, gorditas Xochipilli, chilaquiles, a few of my favorites. The best spot in the valley for authentic Mexican food.“

“Friendly bartenders & awesome food! 🍔“

“Un lugar muy agradable te atienden súper bien“

“Went to the Cantina this past Friday afternoon to see Theresa Russell. Fantastic music and great drinks from Trino the bartender. Mario, the GM, always creates a professional atmosphere and extraordinary customer service. I recommend it highly.....“

“This place is amazing !! Everything about it is great, the service, food, ambiance. Great cocktails and they have very talented and handsome bartenders! Love this place !“

“My husband and I moved into the area not to long ago and we were looking for a fun bar to be able to go too and we definitely found it the people that work there are great been there only a hand full of times always look forward to go back.“

“love this place Sherry is the best, my friends and I support PCS and love their meatloaf night 💯👍“

“I had such a great experience at Hummus Bar. If you’re craving fresh, comforting Mediterranean food that actually tastes homemade, this place hits the spot.
Everything felt super fresh and flavorful — the hummus was silky smooth with the perfect drizzle of olive oil, warm fluffy pita, and generous portions.“

“Best margaritas in town! Love the atmosphere.“

“Our favorite place to go, great food, drinks and excellent service.“

“Wilkes nails the steakhouse vibe. Servers were on top of it and knowledgable.

Food highlights were the ahi crudo (hot tip: ask for a side of sourdough to use to soak up the rest of the sauce after), flatiron steak (cooked perfectly), and the chicken schnitzel. Only thing that was a little lackluster was the creamed spinach.“

“We’re been going to Gus’s BBQ a long time, but recently, their brisket has become STUPENDOUS. It was always good, but oh my... I’ve had brisket all over and this is as good as brisket gets. On a pandemic note... usually when ordering take-out, something goes wrong. A missing side, etc. Not here. Each order has been perfectly accurate. Thank you, Gus’s. Our favorite.“

“We celebrated our holiday dinner party at Rusti Kitchen Calabasas with our entire staff, and we were extremely happy with the service, food, ambiance, and overall experience. We arrived a bit early, and the owners kindly seated us at the bar and offered complimentary drinks while our table for 20 was being prepared. Throughout the evening, they checked in with us to make sure everything was taken care of.

Our staff loved everything that was served buffet-style—salmon, pasta, salads, pizza, vegetables, chicken, and a delicious dessert. We never felt rushed and truly felt at home, which made the night even more special. We had an amazing time and would absolutely recommend Rusti Kitchen. We will definitely consider them again for future team gatherings.“

“Came in for a drink and to check out the area since we are new to the area. The place was kind of small and majority of the people inside were older. The tables had all the dirty cups on there and were still there when we were leaving. We ordered double shots of tequila and a few micheladas. We saw people eating McDonalds in there. They have darts to play and the music was nice,“

“Love the food and the service“

“Went to watch the pats and Texans game wasnt crowed plenty or tables available... service was great sat in the bar area bartender sorry didnt recall his name.. was great never let my drink past half empty before bringing another one... wings were on point and southwest eggrolls always a favorite..“

“Awesome food and awesome service.“

“good food..good service..decent pricing...servings enough to take some home . I love Chili's.“

“This restaurant is the worst the food is gross n the service is horrible never ever go there. We will never again the waitress are so rude.“

“buen ambiente y buena musica y el lugar ni se diga todo muy bien“

“Came mid afternoon for a reserved table of 11. Weren't ready. Finally found reservation, then placed in path of cold air coming from front door. Now, place wasn't busy. However service was slow. Kept looking for waiter. Missed simple order like water. Salad was very good, other meals were good“
