“What a friendly and hospitable breakfast place in the Loews Hollywood hotel. We were looked after by Lilly and what a sweetheart she is. Made us feel like we were in her home and looked after us like we were 5 stars. So much appreciated. Will be back for the service and morning sunshine views!“

“Hollywood's Best & Most Consistent Food & Drinks by far!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“I came across Playa Provisions when in town for business. It was a short Uber from the airport, so I figured I'd give it a try. This place is an absolute gem! It is a unique setup that has everything you'd possibly need from morning until late at night: Cafe in the front for coffee and fresh baked good, as well as full breakfast menu. Later in the heat of the afternoon, take a break from the beach (right across the street) and enjoy hand scooped specialty ice cream cones and shakes. Oh look, it's dinner time... and Playa Provisions opens their dining room and bar, some of the best, most relaxed ambience you'll find for miles around. But don't let the casual setting fool you, this is some incredible, elevated cuisine. Chef owners Nick and Brooke (who you might recognize) crafted a menu that's I've been eating my way through, and have yet to find a dish that's not delicious. You've been eating and drinking all day, and are exhausted? Don't leave yet! Wander into the back 'secret' whiskey bar, (Grain Whiskey Bar) and enjoy hand crafted cocktails from award winning bartenders (no, literally), in a gorgeous wood laden atmosphere. I consider myself a foodie, and try as many different restaurants and cuisines as I can. And yet, Playa Provisions remains my favorite restaurant in LA (and that's saying something, considering the amazing places in LA). Run, don't walk, to Playa Provisions. You'll thank me.“

“Stopped by for dinner to check out the place. We are having an event there in a few weeks. AWESOME EXPERIENCE. Food was wonderful, service was perfect, management went out of their way to be gracious and welcoming. Can't wait to return in a few weeks.“

“Tonight we, my husband and I, with our dear friends, the Crays, dined at Tomat for the first of what will be many times. The restaurant features a dining room and a roof top patio. A welcoming, comfortable space. The staff were all friendly and very knowledgeable about all menu items. Our server Miley took excellent care of us throughout dinner and dessert. She assisted us with choosing items that would pair well with each other. She was never too busy to stop to see if everything was to our liking. She brought the chef to our table so we could let him know personally how much we enjoyed his creations. He gave us a bit of background on his plan of sustainability and creativity for his restaurant. The food was amazing. We had several appetizers. The tuna carpaccio was amazing, light and dark tuna with the freshest tomatoes. The welsh rarebit was so delicious. The weiser melon with strawberry kimchi was a delicious surprise. The house milled saffron rice was amazing. Our mains did not disappoint. The trout and chips were excellent. Everyone at the table said “best trout we have ever had”. The vegetable chips were outstanding. The vaca vieja ribeye was perfectly cooked. The pork three ways with chamoy was also perfectly cooked. Dessert was madelines, warm from the oven, with the strawberry sorbet and the saffron ice cream. All were outstanding. Overall, this was a fabulous dining experience. Great food with great service in such a comfortable atmosphere. And, we have already made reservations for next month!“

“We had excellent food and service from Kenni!“

“The tasting menu is full of unique seafood dishes, and the portions are generous.“

“This place was awesome, super local clientele. The food was nice, server was really busy but did a decent job, the restaurant was pretty slammed when we got there. We ordered the salmon and the chicken plate. Both were great, we also ordered the Cesar which was really good. Would recommend for sure, would go back.“

“I have dined here twice, once for breakfast(which was amazing) and once for dinner. My recent visit was two weeks ago for dinner for my sister's birthday. Our food was absolutely scrumptious, everything we ordered was extremely DELICIOUS. There were five of us and all of us enjoyed our selections. The best part of our dining experience was our dining attendant, Michael. He was attentive, joyous, professional, knowledgeable, fun and gave awesome recommendations! We will be back very soon.

Shrimp cocktail(trust me)
Braised short rib
Lemon chicken
Bread pudding (elevated classic)
Butter cake( one of the best we've had)“

“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“

“I love this place! They have the best “French dip” ever.“

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

“We had such a fantastic time at the Great White Cafe! The atmosphere was great, and the food was even better. My burger was absolutely tremendous - juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. My girlfriend loved her chocolate mousse, which was rich and decadent. Highly recommend this spot for a delicious meal and a great vibe!“

“Delicious cocktails !! Thank you Avalon hotel“

“Great food and wine with a view“

“Great food and lovely owners - would recommend“

“What an amazing experience at Meteora. I absolutely loved the atmosphere, the aesthetics of the decor, the service and the food. This was my second time here as I came shortly after they opened years ago and this time around was a delight. This immersive space is worth the reservation alone. It's so pretty and innovative. The ambience is so warm and welcoming. The manager is amazing as he was very attentive in meeting our request for specific seating. The servers were very friendly and knowledgeable about each entree. The wine pairing was perfect. I do have one critique regarding the meal. The Japanese Yam dish was served charred. I have a very refined palate and I could tell immediately that it wasn't charred but rather burnt. I could not eat the yam as it was quite bitter. Other than this hiccup, the meal was delicious. I truly enjoyed my second visit and will definitely return as well as recommend Meteora to friends and clients.“

“Backbone delivered an outstanding dining experience. Loved the soju cocktail and Barbajuan appetizer to start, the perfectly roasted duck breast as the main, and the brown butter cake topped with passion fruit gel for dessert. Top notch service all around, capped off by a warm conversation with one of the owners / chef. Highly recommend!“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“I enjoyed the food, decor, and service. If you want a quiet place to dine though, this isn't it..“

“Fantastic good and cute patio. BLT incredible.“

“The food and environment!“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“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!“

“I’ve never been here before so decided to come in for happy hour before we went to the Saint Felix and had a nice little visit. The interior is a little bland and it’s not very cozy but the large bar area is nice especially for socializing. Hannah served us and she was friendly and attentive. I ordered a skinny margarita and she made it very well. Nice and skinny how I like it! My second drink, I ordered a glass of the champagne from the happy hour menu and I enjoyed it because it was extra brut nice and dry, but served in a tiny tiny glass. We had an order of the jalapeño cheese sticks and they were pretty darn good but really lacked presentation. Good happy hour prices. Might be back to try some more of their food. Love the happy hour!“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“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“

“The best place for an incredible night out in LA!

As soon as we parked the smell of the outdoor grill hit us. We knew we were in for something special.

We were sat immediately with a reservation, and had the best service. Mike was our waiter and was everything you want in a server and more. He was present but not overly so, he knew his wines well, and was clearly very passionate about the food. He’s service absolutely made our night!

The food was the only thing that overshadowed Mike’s excellence, every bite was divine.

We shared the hummus toast, zucchini, Japanese, sweet potato, Shishito peppers. And for mains enjoyed a chicken skewer, lamb chops, and ribeye.

The lamb was seasoned and cooked perfectly, being my best bite of the night, but the chicken skewer won the hearts of the larger group.

We finished off with their chocolate cake which was perfectly gooey in the center.

There is so much more I would come back for. The atmosphere was just spectacular! Beautiful outdoor seating area, suitable for larger groups or small tables. Good music and great vibes.

All in all I’m just upset that I didn’t come try this place sooner. Definitely going to be a staple of mine moving forward.

If you go ask for Mike (Big Chicago Bears fan). You’re in the best hands with him!“

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

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

“Great atmosphere, food and drinks!“

“Just happened to be walking by and decided to stop for lunch, so glad we did. Excellent food and even better service. Intimate setting with awesome decor. Definitely recommend.“

“My husband & I stopped by this place for dinner. We got the avocado egg rolls, finney burger, smash burger, and sweet potato fries. My favorite thing was the sweet potato fries! Our server, Toby , was super attentive and kind. He made us feel very welcome and it was our very first time in the area so that was nice. He brought refills of our drinks before we even asked - something you rarely experience. Good food & great service. Highly recommend!“

“I can only say Joe was AMAZING! If I could, I would rate it higher!!! People like Joe deserve everything. He has great people skills which is a special requirement in this line of work! Thank you YardHouse (Burbank) for having a server like Joe! 👏“

“One of those American food chains that actually hit. The lobster pasta is flavorful garlicky and full of meat. My second time getting it and both times were about the same, very consistent. Also one of the few places with Angry Orchard on tap.“

“I always love coming here. The food is amazing and probably the best Brussels sprouts anywhere.“

“I’ve visited Yard House several times and always appreciate the variety of beers and the flavorful food options. The large portions and vibrant environment make it suitable for both small gatherings and larger groups. The staff is friendly and efficient.“

“good place and highly recommend.“
