“This was a great spot for Mexican seafood & molcajete. The tostada flight platter was great to try all the types of ceviche. Our favorite was the fish and shrimp ceviche. The octopus was decent too. The molcajete was the surprising favorite. The asada was grilled well and flavorful, the shrimp were great, the chicken was tender and juicy and soft, the chorizo was good and the broth was very good. The cactus and cheese and green onions were also excellent. The servers sat us and gave us complimentary chips and salsa which was decent. They were very attentive and friendly. The margaritas we got were fruity and sweet but also decent alcohol. I liked my strawberry margarita. The atmosphere is very chill and homely and lively. Seems like large groups come here to eat and drink.”

“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 no reservation, but were warmly welcomed and given a lovely table beneath the disco ball, which made the evening feel even more special. Every dish was delicious. It’s a bit on the pricey side, but the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience made it well worth it. Thank you for turning a spontaneous stop into one of our favorite memories from LA. We’ll definitely be back.”

“Went to coucou with a friend to celebrate my birthday. This is on Main Street and there's parking on thr street and there's an underground parking lot on Navy with great service and a flat rate of $9/hr. The place is small and I went around 6pm so right after happy hour so it was a bit loud but it calmed down after. There is a 3 for $33 deal that is pretty amazing for happy hour. Pretty much all the appetizers. You are allowed to pick 1 drink and 2 food items. I got the classic aperol, it had a little too much aperol for my taste but still good and refreshing. We got the Zucchini bingets and they were tasty, cheesy. Almost like a fritter but not so much. Also got the fries as well. They were good. I got the mussels marinere with the coconut cream sauce and honestly I love when places offer mussels in a different kind of sauce than just white wine and garlic. The toast was perfection. My friend got the grilled chicken Paillard and she liked it, came with a side of red sauce. I'll be back for the happy hour to try the apps with seafood. I didn't get w chance to since my friend doesn't eat it. They even gave me a the chocolate mousse with a candle.”

Elegant, tasteful and understated, everything about the place - the interiors, soundtrack, service and food - exudes Spain. Complements to the Chef, et al. We've seen so many Santa Monica restaurants come and go; I sure hope Xuntos endures and thrives. Looking forward to many more exceptional meals of gazpacho, seafood, olives, Galician empanadas, ensaladas.and all!”

“This bar is awesome! We heard that it was the smallest bar in LA and expected to be greeted by regulars who resented our presence. We experienced the complete opposite. The bartender Pete immediately recognized my Midwest accent and engaged myself and my 2 adult children in conversation. The locals at the bar were also very engaging. Many reviews I have read described it as a dive. I completely disagree with that assessment. It is a local bar that is very welcoming to any patron. Keep in mind it is cash only! Looking forward to going back!”

“I love Simonette. The patio is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a cocktail and breakfast, lunch, or brunch. I’ve been there twice now and I can highly recommend the burger on the menu - the fried egg on top completes it! And the mussels in the light cream sauce are wonderful - especially with fries. A friend of mine ordered the fried Bronzino - the complete fish including the head - and she said it was delicious. There are great cocktails available and several wines and Prosecco available by the glass. The onsite valet parking is a bit steep, but there are many nearby options for parking in downtown Culver City if you don’t mind walking a few blocks.”

“There's a hidden treasure in back of Playa Provisions. In the front door and keep walking straight, past the ice cream, and the restrooms then down a dark hall. There you'll find a door the leads into one of the best bars in the city, Grain. On a recent visit I opted for the 'Bartenders Special' saying only that I liked Rye. Omar prepared a cocktail for me that was a riff on a Greenpoint, which is itself a riff on a Manhattan that was the best cocktail I have had in a long time. Be sure not to miss their food themed cocktails, unique and delicious. Highly recommended!”

Obviously, no one read the request and didn't care. Got the eye roll gesture body language. Typically, the Restaurant is on top of it. Still the fish tacos are outstanding and chicken nachos Loved the food. We've been patrons since Hudson House open and always will be!!”
