“Since Or Bar opened in the old Gold Coast space, it has become my favorite local place. Good drinks, great people. I love all of the staff here!“

“This is a destination restaurant, right in the heart of South Pasadena. The food is amazing, it's beautiful inside and outside (they have outdoor seating in the back as well), and the staff is nice.

Try the shrimp
Try the carrots
Try the bbq chicken
Try the fish

Legit try it all.“

“I was in Burbank for work recently and I randomly chanced upon this place looking for a little spot to grab a glass of wine and a snack. I’m here to tell you, man, no cap (as the kids say) do not sleep on this place. It’s fantastic. Mouthwatering wine selection, a magical player piano, cocktails for days, delicious nibbles, extremely welcoming bartenders with great stories (I'm looking at you, Jeff!). I feel confident going as far as saying that every time you’re in Burbank and you choose not to stop in for a drink at Wax Poetic...God kills a kitten! Don't be a kitten-killer, go today!! 👀🫣🍷“

“The Goods: Quaint little spot in the popular part of thr city has a unique night life feel to it. The atmosphere is sexy, the food is delicious and the service is with a smile. I like the wide array of wines they sale and the food helps bring the flavor to the table. I want to give this place more stars but theres nothing that was overly amazing that did thr trick.

The Ugly: Food portions are small for the prices they give you. $32 for Prawns and you don't get any pasta, rice or anything just 4 prawns dipped in pesto. The wait staff was great but the space is small so yiu have conversations and ppl on top of you when you eat. They could benefit from some house music or something.“

“So good!!! Amazing. Love the food. The bok choy pot stickers OOOF! The best. 💜💜💜👑👑👑🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽💞💞💞💝💝👨‍❤️‍👨🧡“

“Good wine, cheese, and ambience.“

“Vegan or not, I can’t imagine why anyone would not love this place.❤️“

“Entre Nous French Bistro has been a longtime favorite, I’ve been coming here since they opened. The escargot is incredibly tender, drenched in garlicky herb butter you want to soak up with bread. The oysters are ultra‑fresh and perfectly chilled, the ideal briny start to the meal. The steak is cooked spot‑on with a rich peppercorn sauce and crispy fries, making every bite feel like a true Parisian bistro experience. Matthew our waiter was amazing thank you for your amazing service.“

“Great wine, fun staff, love it here!!!“

“Bacari Glendale: It is a beautiful place we have always wanted to go to. We took two friends for a belated birthday dinner (and as the staff realized it was just that, they even rewarded us with a delicious birthday dessert :-). Great service, nice ambiance, and delicious food - we had the bread (could have been a bit more for the $4,50), then shared the Mac & Cheese topped up with the pear and brie pizza that was the best.“

“Best pub in the Altadena area. It is a family run business, and really, a more traditional "public house." Not too many places like this around! Guiness and other European ales on tap. Nice selection of wines too. Say hi to Judah, Gail & family and help support Altadena!“

“Fabulous for Happy hour and Dinner! Love the wine selections“

“This is such an awesome spot to meet friends or work colleagues, and to stock your wine cooler! Be sure to get empanadas and salad from Puerto Rican Eats.The inside is lively, but mid-century modern cool. There’s also patio and sidewalk seating. Hannah and Ariel will help you find what suits your palate (and they also play great tunes). If Doug the owner is in, you’re in for a treat!“

“Literature and Libations what more needs to be said.“

“Great place to enjoy great company and good wine 🍷“

“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.“

“best service and food. The atmos was very intimate“

“Delicious from start to finish. We ordered the Caesar Salad, Burrata, Meatballs, Pork Belly, and tiramisu, and everything was excellent—well-prepared, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The meatballs were especially memorable, and the tiramisu was the perfect way to end the meal. Add a little burrata to a bite of the meatballs for a perfect bite.
The wine selection complemented the food beautifully. They were also very accommodating when we needed to adjust our reservation time, which we appreciated.
Service struck the right balance—attentive without being overbearing. Claudia was friendly, knowledgeable, and helped make the experience even better.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered and will definitely be back.“

“We've been attending a handful of concerts at Hollywood Bowl this year. We loved Fattoush Salad (different recipe from how our family makes Fattoush Salad) but was delicious! The Lamb Chops were OK, but Spanish Fried Chicken was just fried, you can't taste or see any chicken meat inside. I have a feeling all vegie dishes here might be delicious, but not the ones with any meat. Service and atmosphere were amazing! We will go back to try different dishes, but for sure to have the Fattoush Salad.“

“Eclectic but elegant setting with an excellent curated wine offering and one of the finest reserve lists anywhere. The charcuterie sections are also first class. A stylish and sophisticated night out.“

“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!“

“Had to stop by my favorite Italian grubbin in the heart of Old Town Pasadena all the way from Boise. This was my 3rd time and each time just keeps getting better; definitely the bigger the party, the better. We paid $225 for 4 pasta entrees, 3 appetizers, & 2 glasses of wine for a party of 6. I’ve learned to like my pastas al dente after having them here. The meatballs are banging, the wine-pairing was delightful. Our service was attentive and pleasant; the vibe is always vibrant and homey. Highly recommended.“

“Stumbled on this place while I was sucked into the reel vortex in the middle of the night on my 11-year Veganversary. The next day, we drove 40+ miles into LA and had the most amazing vegan meal, from appetizers to dessert. They have a full traditional menu as well as a full vegan menu. Welcoming and energetic vibe. Outstanding fun and friendly service (ask for Aria!) Food was highest quality and INSANELY delicious. Even parking is easy in the lot next door. Can’t wait to go back. It is a pleasure to support these guys. Highly recommended.“

“I had a really nice time at Little Beast Restaurant. The place has a cozy and relaxed vibe, perfect for just sitting back and enjoying good food. Everything we ordered came out fresh and full of flavor, you can tell they care about quality. The staff was friendly and made sure we were comfortable the whole time, which I really appreciated. Service was smooth and not rushed at all. It’s one of those spots where you just feel good being there. Definitely a place I’d come back to again when I’m craving something tasty and chill.“

“Few places in Los Angeles have friendly
top notch service and great food. This place has both. The staff is incredibly great from front of house to back of house. I’ve been twice and both times have been top tier. The pasta is some of the best the city has to offer. This is my new favorite Italian joint. Great wine, pasta and an impeccable staff. I love Spina!“

“Pizzana is a great example of casual fine dining. Their menu is excellent, and everything is made with a sense of high quality and culinary flair.

The Neapolitan-style pizzas are one of the best in SoCal. Ingredients offered are cultivated and paired with deliciousness in mind. The fresh ingredients shine quite well. Pastas are also prepared with the same attention to detail and won't disappoint.

Dining is best here, but I wouldn't have delivery if you're not close to any of their locations. Parking for this Silver Lake location is challenging; thus, plan accordingly.

Their pricing is fine dining, and it is worth the splurge.“

“One of the best I’ve had “out” in a very long time.“

“Absolutely love this place! The only negative thing I have to say is that the music later in the day on the weekend gets unbearable, so much you can’t hear the person sitting across from you. Not what I expect from a wine bar. Earlier during the day, happy hour time, it’s a great place and the bartenders are really dope and helpful.“

“We got lucky and able to quickly get a table with no reservations. Loupiotte has been in our list so we were excited to try the food. The portions were bigger than we expected so definitely left full. The tuna salad sandwich was really good since it wasn’t watery. We loved the French onion soup since it had a light and clean broth taste. Want to go back and try their other dishes!“

“How did this quirky gem evade my notice for five years?! I guess because they're only open Friday and Saturday. This may be the best restaurant in Pasadena. Inventive creole-inspired food. Everyone raved. Only thing I would change is to have it a little quieter. But our four-top could still converse well.“

“They were so lovely! I came in quite stressed on a work call and couldn’t order right away but had to sit and they brought me a coffee which was very kind and appreciated - thank you!! The food was also delicious and it’s a beautiful atmosphere :)“

“Went to Seco when visiting LA on vacation from Canada. Excellent selection of natural and funky wines, and food was amazing. We didn’t have a reservation on a Friday night and the host went out of her way to find us a spot at the bar. Our bartender, Alexis, was excellent and made our experience 10/10. Would highly recommend when visiting LA/Silverlake if looking for an approachable wine bar with great casual atmosphere and excellent food.“

“Yummy always. Great service and food“

“Great beers and wine, great food, even better staff. Truly a great spot. I went on my dog's birthday to get him a burger and the staff was so helpful. They made sure his was free from salt and onions, and ours were made the way we want. The staff is fantastic and the drinks are well curated. The fried pickles and jalapenos are great too!“

“We absolutely adore this neighborhood wine shop. Haley is super knowledgeable about wine and always makes fantastic recommendations. She sources a lot of wine from smaller vineyards so there's always something unique. Her overall curation of the shop is fantastic, and she works so hard to create a fantastic community space as well. The shop often hosts events and game nights for the local community, and when there aren't events going on, it's still a great place to buy a bottle, grab a glass, and catch up with friends (or on work). As an added bonus, there are usually 2-3 cute dogs hanging out in the space :)“

“Great food! Excellent service! 😍“

“Excellent coffee and food. A really welcoming atmosphere too!“

“In Vino & Spirits was a fortunate discovery after a friend's recommendation. I booked the patio for a birthday party and had a great experience! Edward and Rachelle hosted a wonderful evening of fine wines and very tasty treats. I use the word hosted because they make it feel like you are in their home... very gracious and attentive. The patio was decorated with lights, nicely dressed tables, a wine bar, sound system and more. I booked it for 2 hours, but they didn't hold us to a clock... If you appreciate good wine and like fine charcuterie and crostini.. In Vino is a top choice! Highly recommend!“

“Terrific staff and innovative cuisine. Small local restaurant who worked hard to keep staff through the pandemic closures with delicious creative take out and who are keeping everyone safe by requiring proof of vaccination for indoor dining. Fresh creative food.“

“Fantastic cocktail bar in LA. Make sure to make reservations for this spot. If you eat at Mother Wolf, great for after dinner cocktails. Or if you want to eat some of the Roman street food here, you wont go wrong either. Definitely recommend for anyone visiting LA (like I was) looking for a top notch cocktail bar for drinks, food and vibe.“

“Amazing place! Great staff. Coffee is not cheap but worth every penny. Very nice backyard terrace. Highly recommended. And not to forget they have on the wall the authentic Steve McQueen motorcycle jacket when he was racing for ISvin 1964.“

“What a hidden gem! This small quaint restaurant delivered some of the best food we had while visiting Pasadena. The flavors in the sauce (basil, olive oil and something else yummy) that surrounded the burrata were absolutely delicious! The lamb/beef/pork bolognese sauce on the spaghetti as well as the duck was excellent. Portions are definitely generous and shareable. Our only regret is we didn’t save room for dessert! Despite being there during the Rose Bowl with lots of people, the service was excellent! So glad we stumbled upon this restaurant via Resy, we’ve saved it in case we come to Pasadena again!! Bravo!!!“

“go here! you won't be disappointed. Tell Tom some Okies said hi!“

“Love it here. I go here often… Food is great. And stuff is amazing!!“

“Our association of attorneys recently hosted a dinner for more than 50 guests at The Capital Grille, and it was a tremendous success. The atmosphere, cuisine, and service all exceeded our expectations, making for a truly memorable evening.

Special thanks to managing partner Britney, who ensured that every detail was handled flawlessly. We look forward to hosting our next event at The Capital Grille.“

“1 of my favorite places to eat in Silverlake, I’ve tried almost everything they have and I highly recommend“
