“The grilled pork collar, the khao kha moo, is the dish that most regulars gravitate toward first, slow-cooked pork leg over rice with a dark, sweet braising sauce and a soft egg alongside, the kind of composed plate that operates at the intersection of comfort food and actual cooking. The fried pork skin served with a larb dipping sauce is the snack that arrived at the table first and was gone faster than anything else, the skin light and airy and the larb funky and herbaceous and the kind of thing that makes you understand why certain foods become obsessions. The pad see ew is the noodle dish most people know and want, and the version here is properly wok-charred with good smokiness in the flat rice noodles and a soy-egg combination that's been executed well rather than just thrown together. The papaya salad has a heat level that earns its reputation, bright and tart and genuinely spicy in a way that doesn't ease up. The mango sticky rice at the end is generous and properly made, the coconut milk soaked deep into the rice and the mango sweet and ripe in a way that seasonal sourcing makes possible.
The wine program here is notably good for a casual Thai restaurant, which is part of what makes the whole experience feel more considered than the room might suggest.“

“We had such a wonderful time. Amazing wine & terrific food!“

“A very unique environment. A cozy and intimate setting. A very intriguing menu. An excellent wine selection. Sophisticated dessert selection. The plates are presented exceptionally. Aroma, texture, color and arrangement in detail. The culinary arts are expressed here. The layering(s) of flavors combined with textures are exceptionally crafted here. GREAT wine pairings are available. Sophisticated and suave, an intimate and Inspiring experience.“

“Good wine, cheese, and ambience.“

“Outstanding experience dining here. Our server was incredible, super knowledgeable, confident, and clearly not their first rodeo with gluten-free dining. They knew every single dish inside and out, proactively pointed out shared fryer cross-contamination details, and clearly walked us through which items were fully gluten-free outside of regular soy sauce (super helpful for anyone with different tolerance levels). Finding a spot where the front-of-house understands dietary nuances that well without making it feel like a hassle is rare. Fantastic food, top-tier service, and total peace of mind. We will definitely be back.“

“I was hungry and Googled “hummus and wine,” and somehow ended up at Lolo Wine Bar! No hummus, but great wine and delicious food!

My friend and I came in close to closing, and I immediately loved how cute and romantic the space was. The staff was incredibly helpful with recommendations and helped us pick out a few small plates to share.

I’ll say this: the portions are small and the prices are high, but hey, it’s LA! You’re paying for the atmosphere, and Lolo definitely delivers on that.

There is an automatic 20% gratuity charge, which I noticed other reviewers weren’t too happy about, especially given their experiences with service. Personally, I didn’t mind it. We had several lovely women helping us throughout the evening, and I honestly couldn’t tell you who our main server was because everyone was so attentive. I just hope that gratuity gets shared among the team!

The atmosphere was probably my favorite part. Intimate, romantic, and beautifully designed. I genuinely couldn’t tell whether I was indoors or outdoors, which made the whole space feel even more charming.

Overall, a lovely little spot for wine, sharing plates, and good conversation. Just come knowing you’re paying for the experience as much as the food!“

“Great food and awesome service. Definitely a must dine!“

“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.“

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

“Player piano and snacks. They got me in the door with just that. They have an “Aperol” spritz with no Aperol that tastes just as fresh and simple as the real thing. Also… White Sangiovese? Sign me up. Will be back again and again. Thank you for the amazing experience, Joey.“

“Great Service, love the fries and steak sauce but the steak itself on chewier side.
French Toast is yummy, scramble egg - so so but the toast with tomato very delicious.
Street parking only, closer to restaurant metered 1 hour parking but a bit further, free parking but good luck finding a spot, there is paid parking lot close by“

“thank you for an amazing lunch.! Much success in the New Year.“

“Overall, this was one of the best places I've eaten at in the last year, and I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for a great dining experience.

The only downside I noticed was the restaurant's online presence. The website felt outdated, didn't offer online ordering, and the social media accounts weren't very active. As a tourist, this initially gave me the impression that the restaurant might not be very good. However, after visiting, I realized I couldn't have been more wrong. A modern, well-maintained website would better reflect the quality of the food and service and make a much stronger first impression on potential customers.“

“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!“

“No explanation needed. You're missing out if you don't drink wine or eat food from here. Shout out PJ, Zach, JP, Molly, Simona, Ryan, Corbin, Jose, Sean (didn't follow me back on IG though *UPDATE: he did!), and all the other fab people who work here.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Absolutely amazing 100% vegan food!

I had no idea what to expect when I walked into this wine bar but boy was I impressed! I’m vegan and I was just looking for a vegan place to eat and stumbled upon the wine bar and its sister French bakery. The service was amazing. The food was stellar and ambience is like so adorable! I honestly had no idea places like this existed, but I wish this place was down in San Diego!“

“Backbone was an incredible dining experience from start to finish. I started with the tuna tartare, which was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and had an amazing balance of flavors and textures. From there, I had the corn agnolotti, which was easily one of the highlights of the night. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the delicate, flavorful sauce complemented the sweetness of the corn beautifully.

For my main course, I had the steak and fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor, while the fries were crispy and seriously addictive. Everything on the plate worked perfectly together.

I finished with key lime and scoop of coconut sorbet, which was just as impressive and the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted every bit as good as it looked.

What made the experience even better were the people. Every employee I interacted with was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The chef was also incredibly nice and personable, which added such a special touch to the evening. You can tell there’s real passion behind what they’re doing, both in the kitchen and in the way they treat their guests.

The attention to detail at Backbone really stood out to me. The atmosphere was stylish and inviting, the service was exceptional, and the entire meal flowed perfectly from one course to the next.

Backbone is absolutely a restaurant I’ll be coming back to. From the tuna tartare and corn agnolotti to the steak, dessert, and amazing hospitality, the entire experience was outstanding. One of the best meals I’ve had in a while and an easy five stars. Highly recommend!“

“TRY THE SALMON DISH!!!!!!

Everything was really well done and very flavorful. Super thoughtful and unique, and the service was great!! Ray was wonderful and professional. The space was quaint and romantic, lovely date energy. Lots of ingredients put together that you wouldn’t usually expect, as in we had to google a few things, and that creativity is what made the experience a bit fun and exciting as well as romantic and classy :)“

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

“Came here for birthday drinks and it was so fun. They have some board games to play and a tv room.
I love that the large table that they have in their middle room. It was able to seat everyone in our party.
The vibes here are immaculate and so cozy!“

“This place is so delightful and rarely crowded. Great atmosphere. One of the only places that is family friendly with live music, usually jazz or classical guitar, always at a pleasant volume. Lots of nice little touches - games, books, art, free popcorn, etc. Love it here!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

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

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

“Such a great experience at Spina! The lamb pasta was absolutely delicious — rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into the food. Great atmosphere and wonderful hospitality too. Definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“This is your classic neighborhood bar. It feels sexy yet wholesome. During the day, it's chill enough to come with a laptop and get some work done. On weekends,its filled with families in the outdoor area. As the sun goes down, there is plenty of mingling.

Bartenders are awesome, friendly, and efficient. Great rotating beer selection along with some wine and seltzer. Food is served til late and is good enough to stand on its own.“

“Great food! Excellent service! 😍“

“Nice, elevated wine bar! Personable service and interesting food options with a menu well worth returning for. Good decibel level for maintaining a conversation between the music and other guests. Some influencers were livestreaming the entire time I was there which was a bit obnoxious, but that’s LA I guess.“

“Love this place. The food is amazing and prices are impressively low for what they serve, portions and quality.

Service is not the greatest, but they sure try. Drinks are very good and original which is always nice to see.

Back to the food, AMAZING!!!“

“We've always taken a picnic to the Bowl so this was our first time at Ann's. I may never be able to go back to lugging dinner around with us. We had a lovely dinner. For the two of us we ordered the grilled bread, a Greek salad and the polenta with wild mushrooms. It was plenty for us to share. We also had a bottle of the Ultraviolet '24 cab which was very nice. All of the wait staff were very pleasant and professional.“

“I can’t recommend this place enough, especially if you’re a coffee lover. The coffee here is excellent, and the team are true professionals who clearly know what they’re doing.

I enjoyed everything, from the coffee to the breakfast. It made for a really wonderful day. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

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

“Please post you’re having a private event on your website and other spots you post your events.
It’s a waste of gas and time when coming from far away.

Update: I do not have instagram. However, I did check your website before leaving and there was nothing.“

“This is a hidden gem in La Canada. It’s a gorgeous place to hang out with friends, or a romantic date night. The owner is very knowledgeable about wine and his passion shows when he explains and suggests different wines when you ask him. The food is very organic and tasty. Give yourself the gift of class and relaxation by going here for a dinner and enjoy and bottle of fantastic wine!“

“Yummy always. Great service and 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.“
