“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“Delicious food and drinks“

“Excellent brunch food and drinks, lovely atmosphere. Chilaquiles, shakshouka and pain au chocolat were delicious. Cannot wait to go back to the patio for dinner!“

“Great night for Luke’s 50th Birthday!!“

“I loved the place! Been couple times and enjoyed their organic orange wine they had on menu back then (I think it was from either Austria or Germany? Seasonal wine)

And everyone was friendly and pretty fast with the service.“

“Thank goodness for Offhand! A much-needed natural wine bar for the west side. While there are always people here, you can always find a spot to sit no problem. They do a great job of rotating and featuring natural wine, most of which are from California/the west coast — through them, I learned that my hometown has a natural winemaker I’d never known about! Definitely order the grilled cheese, it’s simple yet delicious.

( Also since I always check reviews for happy hour info — theirs is from 5-7 Monday through Saturday :) )“

“No matter how many times we go to LuLu, we always leave feeling the same way - absolutely delighted. By the warm welcome, the atmosphere, the servers, the beautifully flavored food, the entire experience. Thank you for always treating us like royalty!“

“Me encanta el piano 🎹 es lo máximo.“

“Bodega Wine Bar has truly become my third place since moving here. Whether it’s daytime coffee or wine bar evenings, the staff consistently go out of their way to make it a welcoming, comfortable spot. Kelsey and Zack in particular stand out — they bring not just professionalism and great service, but a genuine warmth that makes every visit feel personal.

Here’s a little secret: underneath the excellent customer service, they’re just genuinely kind and caring people. That says a lot about a place, and it’s why Bodega isn’t just another bar or café — it’s a community. On top of that, it’s hands down the best coworking space I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend it enough.“

“Great wines, tasty food, and friendly staff!“

“Really nice place in Santa Monica. The duck breast, roasted cauliflower and yellowtail crudo were excellent. Gracious table staff provided outstanding service. The hostess even chased us down and ran across the street to hand my wife the purse she forgot at our table.“

“The wine and food. Great service and very friendly“

“Great out of the ordinary wine choices!“

“Brandon, also the business owner was an amazing host! Thank you, for the lovely night with my girlies listening to Jazz 🎶 music. It was a perfect Thursday evening“

“We had such a blast tonight at the show! We had great laughs and the show was perfect and full of magic! Fun for all ages! Totally recommend catching a show and a drink! Love love love!!!“

“Ricardo was very attentive and knowledgeable about everything he brought out and even recommended some delicious teas to try out. Surprisingly, we were the only ones there for Hi-Tea, so if you're looking for a quiet, romantic spot to feel fancy, this is the place.“

“The Fig Restaurant is located in the Fairmont Hotel. The service was excellent, the food outstanding. The overall atmosphere was lovely. My photo is of the beautiful fig tree that stands at the hotel entrance. That alone is worth a visit for some :) We’ll be happy to come back.“

“best pastas ever!!! And the tiramisu was fabulous“

“A perfect stay!! Celebrating my husband’s 60th! From the time we arrived, the service and attention to detail was impeccable! The entire staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure my husband was enjoying his birthday celebration. It was our first stay at the Maybourne. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our stay so special.“

“11/10 experience at Juliet! The food was absolutely perfect and staff was lovely! Our server, Hannah was instrumental in helping me pick the right wine. The food was beautifully prepared and the atmosphere was perfect for date night. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious food and friendly atmosphere.We had a great time.Thank you.🙏🤗😇😋“

“If you’re reading this, here’s the short version: this is easily one of the best restaurants in Culver City, and you need to try it now!

It’s a small spot in downtown Culver City that you could walk past without noticing. I’m glad I didn’t. There are a couple of tables outside, but most of the seating is indoors. The space is modern, clean, and relaxing.

We ordered three dishes, all recommended by our waiter. The mussel toast is a must. Every bite is savory and packed with seafood flavor. For mains, we had the short rib and rainbow trout. The short rib was perfection. Cooked over fire and served with crispy potato strings. It’s something you get at high-end steakhouse but at half the price. The rainbow trout looked beautiful and tasted fresh, though the citrus was a bit stronger than I prefer.

For dessert, we couldn’t resist the churro and ice cream sandwich. The ice cream (another must try), sourced from a Persian maker, was rich with rose, honey, and pistachio. The presentation was just as impressive. The churros were decent, though I wished they were crispier and the dipping sauce was thicker.

Overall, I’d give this place a solid five stars. The food is close to Michelin quality without the Michelin prices. Go and you won’t be disappointed.“

“Love this treasure in the heart of Mar Vista.“

“The foods are amazing … i had the salmon creamy pasta and i liked it so much, the salmon with cherry tomatoes are very refreshing , porcini and mushroom are the new favorites , but the black truffle was the most unforgettable one , once you taste it, it seems you are watching a classic italian movie. The employees are friendly and very accomodating. The atmosphere itself makes you feel like home.“

“Wonderful! family owned and run.“

“The food was delicious! Service was great“

“I love Avocado Toast ❤️ I’ll be back“

“Love Vitellos, feels like an awesome local secret, while being a classic la restaurant at the same time. Great food, amazing staff and fun night out. They always seem to find a way to connect to the neighborhood in new and interesting ways as well.“

“10/10 Recommend. When I’m in the area, I always gravitate to this spot. I love everything on the menu.“

“Love, love, love! This place has the cutest vibe and great stuff! The charcuterie boards are so good! I’ve tried the cold brew as well very good! This time we decided to get rosé. They have a great wine selection and their staff are so sweet! Would definitely recommend!!!“

“Loved this restaurant! Everything was delicious and very authentic. Among our favorites were the brioche with anchovies, cod fritters, pan con tomate, patas braves, and tortilla espanola (the best ever, including in Spain). Everything we ordered was amazing. The chocolate dessert was amazing, almost a truffle pudding. Our wonderful server guided us through the menu perfectly. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. We will come back frequently.“

“Sat down in an outdoor patio for a quick glass of wine and bruschetta Saturday afternoon. Pleasant and helpful wait staff, relaxing environment, definitely recommend!“

“I haven't eaten so much at once in a long time! Absolutely amazing food! Appetizers, GREAT! Meal, FANTASTIC!! Dessert, BEST BAKLAVA IN LA!!!“

“Hands down my favorite bar. We discovered this bar while working on the Fox Studio Lot and have become regulars ever since. The Mozzatini is to DIE FOR. And the bartenders are just so nice. This bar doesn’t have the pretentious feeling most bars have in Los Angeles. I will continue to be a regular for as long as it stays this way. But really, try the Mozzatini. Its so so good.

Parking: There’s always parking off from Pico, but you may need to walk a few minutes. Just check both sides of the road. And don’t park in the neighborhood, you will get a ticket.“

“A perfect stay!! Celebrating my husband’s 60th! From the time we arrived, the service and attention to detail was impeccable! The entire staff was so welcoming and went out of their way to make sure my husband was enjoying his birthday celebration. It was our first stay at the Maybourne. It will be the only place we stay from now on. Thank you so much to the entire staff for making our stay so special.“

“Thank you for the great food, excellent service and making my daughter’s birthday so special. For sure we will return to try other dishes. Erica was very polite, attentive, had a gorgeous smile l. If she did not mention, we would have never guessed that she is in training.“

“This pizza is awesome!! The best pizza our family has had in years. The service is also first class Thank you so much!!!!“

“This restaurant is phenomenal! First of all the food is dreamy, I particularly LOVE the shrimp pasta. The cocktails are also just insane i love the fresh fruit in them sooo yummy! We have come multiple times and every time is great. Staff is always so friendly. Came on Fathers Day w/ the hubby & sat at the bar. Our bartender Lexi was killin it. She was the ONLY BARTENDER on a holiday!!!! Two thumbs up for her thats one hard workin chickie and doing it all with a smile! Definitely come check Lure out!“

“Wonderful wine bar with a top notch Somm. Will definitely be back“

“I cannot say enough good things about Lexi!!! She makes this place the best! My group (3 of us) showed up without a reservation on a UCLA home Basketball night. She and her team made us feel right at home, even with a full house!!! Food was excellent, service was even better! Can't wait to go back!!“

“Stylish. Good food. Fun place!“

“Night Market Weho was a culinary highlight of our trip! The Pad Thai was the best food we had during our visit to West Hollywood - truly delicious. The interior, however, could use some attention. While the market-style concept is clear, the execution feels a bit off, particularly with numerous crooked pictures on the walls. Service was interesting – ordering was very quick, but we weren't checked on frequently after that. Overall, come for the fantastic food, but don't expect a flawless ambiance“

“The Georgian Hotel lobby hosts the best bar that last minute desert or after dinner cocktail after a birthday meal. The door staff is fun and well cast for high energy and upbeat customer service. The chocolate sufleè is a must and the ambiance is classic with a touch of seaside whimsy.“

“Had brunch with my son. Although extensively overpriced the food and atmosphere was amazing. Thank you for this experience!“

“Excellent service, amazing lobster 🦞 with crab rice. I just wish I was given the prices before agreeing on the upgrade. I ordered a family for 2 and CJ server offered to make it 3ppl. I was kinda surprised with my bills and how the restaurant dictate the gratuity %….Overall, I love dining in this restaurant because we were welcome and were given a great and warm reception. Thank you to the staff who made us feel special especially to CJ she was amazing. Indeed, the most expensive meal I have eaten lol it’s worth it.“

“Dennis the valet was the best part of my visit!! Ty brother“

“Good food, great atmosphere,friendly and fast service,I recommend to everyone,👍🏼“
