“5 stars sorpresa meraviglioso ristorante, my first time here and i love It Good ambiance excellent food very cozy. buon appetito.“

“Our Friend Vahe took us this week for a Tapas Treat to this gem on Ventura Blvd. They have been serving the valley with excellent Tapas for 20+ years. We went all the way - tried and shared most of the small tapas - croquetas, mushroom, shrimp, patatas and all the little baguette delicacies - and had a really good time. They have live music - a wonderful guitar player - on some days. If you like Spanish guitar worth checking out his dates in the place. If you care for Tapas - this is the right place.“

“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.“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“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!!“

“Overall the food just wasn't very good. The bruschetta was just plain bad. Mushy. The peas were prepared like edamame and did not taste like fresh peas at all. The corn dish was good but not great. My husband likes almost any Brussel sprouts but barely ate these. He had some ribs which he liked and I had some spaghetti which I thought was good but not great. My drink was okay and he liked his beer. Disappointing.“

“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 :) )“

“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.“

“What a wonderful restaurant! It's in the Hammer Museum, but there's no museum fee. Just go to the second floor and it's a new world. Calm, wonderful menu that varies weekly, fabulous service, lovely wines and non alcoholic drinks. We will definitely be back“

“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.“

“Me encanta el piano 🎹 es lo máximo.“

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

“Great food and wines! Excellent atmosphere. Very busy yet excellent service. We sat at the bar and ordered various tapas. The food came out very nicely paced. We did not feel rushed, and despite how busy it was, we did not wait long for the dishes to come out. Our favorite was the jamón board, followed by the steak. Can’t wait to be back and try the rest of the menu!“

“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.“

“Juliet restaurant is truly wonderful. The French-inspired dishes are beautifully presented, flavorful, and made with fresh ingredients. It feels like you're dining in the heart of Paris.

The staff are attentive and the space is elegant and modern. We look forward to returning.“

“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.“

“We randomly ended up to this restaurant: small, but pleasant, the type of place where you can talk with your friends. Party of three, we had the fish carpaccio, the octopus, and the burger (gourmet burger!). Everything was prepared to perfection. They will definitely see us again.“

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

“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!!“

“This is my absolute favorite restaurant ...and I eat out 3-5 nights a week. I can always count on All Roads to be 100% perfect! The food is BEYOND delicious and I have had almost every single item on the menu. Never once was I dissappointed. A MUST try is the BIANCA PINSA as well as the Faro and Romini salads....Dessert brownie is spectacular too. Everyone I've brought here has fallen in love. The service is timely, professional and friendly. The manager Alexandra is the hardest working restaurant I've ever encountered! You will be thrilled with this restaurant...I was there last night and am bring another new friend this Friday night!😋💗“

“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.“

“First, my wife loved it. I thought it was ok. The kitchen was stretched. The waitress really didn't explain the menu. This was Americanized tapas. Too much food, no space between tables making it too crammed and no privacy. This was Valentines after all. And there's the nut, what is it like on a normal night? I haven't decided whether to find out.“

“Great place for delicious breakfast, after a good brisk morning walk.
I had a fresh omelet, with mushrooms, onions and cheese. I added fresh toasted slices of sourdough bread and a cup of Americano coffee (stronger than regular coffee). Not a long wait, comfortable seating, attentive server, made it a complete pleasant meal.“

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

“Wonderful! family owned and run.“

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

“The food was delicious! Service was great“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“great quaity and bartenders too excellenlt martinis and suberb wine“

“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!“

“Stylish. Good food. Fun place!“

“Dining at Cesare feels like stepping back into my study abroad days in Italy. From the moment you sit down, the owners personally greet each table, welcoming you like family in a way that immediately sets the tone—warm, unpretentious, and genuinely Italian.

That feeling continues with the small details, like the olives and generous shards of Parmesan placed on the table as you’re seated, just as you’d find in a neighborhood restaurant. The food itself is where Cesare truly shines. The ravioli—famously highlighted by Forbes—is delicate and deeply comforting, while the grilled calamari is perfectly tender with a subtle smokiness. The shrimp scampi is rich and mouthwatering without feeling heavy, and the pasta Bolognese delivers that slow-simmered depth that only comes from doing things properly.

What makes it all even more special is that every dish is made to order. Nothing feels rushed or pre-prepared—each plate arrives with intention, reinforcing that same slower, more meaningful pace of dining I remember from Italy.

Cesare doesn’t try to reinvent Italian food—it simply honors it. And in doing so, it brings you right back to the kind of meals that linger long after the table is cleared.“

“We had an amazing experience at the Georgian Room last night. The speakeasy style steakhouse inside the Georgian Hotel has an incredible ambiance that feels intimate and stylish, elevated even more by fantastic live music throughout the evening.

We started by sharing the Caesar salad and the blue prawns, both of which were absolutely delicious and a perfect way to kick things off. For mains, I ordered the steak frites, which was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, while my girlfriend had the smash burger; simple, classic and seriously tasty. The cocktails were also excellent and thoughtfully crafted, and they had a great wine selection as well.

The service truly stood out and was one of the best parts of the entire night. Every detail was handled with care, and we felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. Our waiter, Renee, was incredibly attentive, made great recommendations, and was genuinely kind all evening. Allen, the manager, also checked in on us and made us feel very welcome. Since we were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday, they even surprised us with dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch.

Overall, a fantastic experience with great food, drinks, music and hospitality. I will definitely be coming back.“

“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.“

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

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

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