“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.“

“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.“

“The fact this didn’t pop up for best restaurants in Burbank when searching google and TikTok is a travesty. This was phenomenal in every way and the owner genuinely seems to enjoy what he does. Everything is made in house including their sauces, the meat they used is displayed. If houses around here didn’t cost 1M I’d move here and eat this every day.

P.S. House sauce is amazing and the images pictured is the classic smash burger with an extra patty and the pastrami burger (which the wife loved)“

“The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating... they called before we arrived to discuss the notes we entered when booking, and continued to perform at that level throughout. Food was very good, nice ambience, really all in all a lovely experience.“

“This was the perfect date night. We went on a Friday night and it wasn't too crowded, perfect for me because I can get overwhelmed by noise. The atmosphere is super chilled out, with some nice sounds from the speaker. My date and I really really enjoyed our meals and our waitress Danielle (Danny) was fantastic and gave use the best recommendations.“

“Excellent food, service and ambiance“

“Exellent !!!!!!! Good service !!!!“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“Terrific restaurant. Great food in an inviting atmosphere. Exceptional pancakes and coffee. The service was notable for a diner. The seating was comfortable, and the replicas of famous paintings was cool. It is worth mentioning again that the pancakes are head and shoulders above any other that I've tried. I would go out of my way to return to Russell's.“

“Delicious food and super friendly staff. I would highly recommend“

“Great fresh food, amazing service!!!“

“We love Charlie & Friends! Delicious food, friendly people, and a lovely atmosphere. The patio is wonderful. Dogs are welcome and it is child friendly. We love the secluded location and the ample parking. So glad we found it!“

“Really fabulous experience. We were visiting and stumbled upon this place by accident because the smell caught our nose. Service was great, and the chef was excellent and kind. He does a rotating menu based on the seasons so ingredients are seasonal and very fresh. The dishes were refreshing, flavorful, interesting and not too heavy. We ordered the waldorf salad, grilled sourdough (so good), tuna crudo, aguachile, and risotto (amazing). Wanted to try the griddle cake but they were out. Also you must get the strawberry shortcake for dessert if its in season, we ate it so quick and savored every bite. Thank you to the team at Holy Saints, we’ll be back!“

“I think this place is underrated. I stopped by here for dinner with friends and the atmosphere was chill enough, but loud enough to enjoy. The food (wings and burger) was really, really good, music was pumping and the place just felt comfy. This place gives off great vibes, so I definitely recommend checking it out.

This may be a GB Packer bar too“

“#AmazingRestaurant #TheFrontYard 🥰“

“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“

“I came here for a brunch. The food is okay, but the prices are too high for the neighborhood. I ordered the shareable mimosas, which came in an un-rinsed carafe (think dust and bugs). Thankfully, the manager comped them, but I was still charged for the drinks that replaced them.

Ultimately, I paid $70 for 3 mimosas and a salad. Okay, fine, but when I tried to pay, the tip options were only 3, 5, and 7%. When I questioned the waitress about this, she admitted they'd already charged me an automatic 20% gratuity, and those were additional tipping options.

It's still a beautiful restaurant with pretty good food, but for not being very busy on a Saturday afternoon, the service could have been a lot better.“

“excellent service. very rich“

“Great Ceasar salad and pork chop“

“I ate here late on a Friday night, and the food was incredible! I got the Banger with tater tots, and everything was delicious. The tots are seasoned and come with a green chile sauce and ketchup. The sandwich was hot, cheesy, and so flavorful. I loved the crispy shallots! There are only 4 seats inside, so there might not be seating if you go at a busy time. The employees were all friendly and the overall atmosphere was bright and fun. This place is a gem!“

“One of the best meals I’ve ever had in LA. You can tell the chef loves what he does. The food tasted clean and fresh, and every dish was either wholly unique or an original take on simple dishes (a skin on roast chicken that isn’t greasy? Pork belly that’s crispy, yet melt in your mouth delicious? My partner hates pork belly and even he was impressed!) Our party of 4 ordered quite a bit of food and I found the portions to be perfect. I ordered the burger for dinner, and as a “best of list” skeptic, I can confirm they absolutely earned that spot, it was incredible.

The desserts sounded “LA fancy” (pretty to look at, sounds impressive, but mid in execution) and I was expecting heavy, especially with the ingredients listed, but they were the *exact opposite* - meticulously made, not overly sweet, and *light and delicate*. We got the panna cotta, the walnut tart, and the fried pie, and each one was a smash hit. The walnut tart was insane.

They accommodated my sister’s gluten allergy, and we never felt rushed or unwelcome. A new favorite for sure.

if you can’t decide what to order, get the burger!!“

“I will always rave about The Melt. This is my go to spot. The Mac and cheese is to die for, the sandwiches are incredible, the garlic parmesan fries omg don’t even get me started. They also have great milkshakes and the chill atmosphere is an added bonus.“

“Cool place and so retro“

“We are visiting town from Texas and ran across Irvs burgers in Balboa. Service was friendly and quick. Breakfast burritos was perfect and the patty melt was amazing. Definitely recommend the chili cheese fries as well. The manager was friendly and welcoming! Thank you for your hospitality, quick eat, and delicious ice ice cream!“
