“Brooklyn Brick Oven pizza truly delivers the taste of New York! As a picky connoisseur of authentic New York pizza, I'm thrilled to say this place exceeded my expectations. The pizza was simple and straight to the point, with a perfectly crispy crust. Every bite was a delightful reminder of why New York pizza is renowned worldwide. Highly recommend!“

“LA Ale Works in Culver City is awesome! They have trivia every Tuesday, hosted by Lucky Guess Trivia, and specifically trivia master Drew. The questions are challenging, the host is hilarious and it's just simply a good time! The bar itself is cozy, drinks are great and added bonus that it's dog friendly. :)“

“I love this place! The food is delicious and are very generous with their lobster portions. Everyone who works there is absolutely lovely and accommodating. Check out their taco Tuesdays and their happy hour. Everything on the menu is phenomenal. Love the lobster tacos!!!!“

“We held a Wedding Rehearsal dinner in the Clark Oswald Room. The room was perfect, the staff were wonderful, and the food was beyond excellent. Cocktails top notch too. Everyone left very full and happy!! Highly recommend for your special occasion!!“

“This place is PHENOMENAL!!! Every time I've been here it has been killer. The staff is awesome, and the consistency of the food is right on. I recommend the Lobster tacos, Cali lobster roll, and the Lobster fries. This is my go-to place for all things lobster.Edit: Came here again today and this place seems to keep getting better. Great food, Excellent Service. The Lobster Bisque and the Clobster roll are fantastic!!“

“It’s such an amazing experience to get some fresh seafood there! We were looking for shrimp cocktail everywhere. It seems that shrimp cocktail is such an “old/ comfort” food now which is difficult to find nowadays! It was fresh and delicious!!!! And we got some clams, mussels, and shrimps with garlic butter which were delicious! The nice guy who helped, Brock, was so nice, helpful, and kind! We had such an amazing time, maybe also it’s a weekday and everyone there was having a blast!“

“The food and prices are great and service is good, you have to order at the counter. It's not much to look at inside, just a few TV's playing sports and music videos but if you love lobster I recommend you give them a visit when your in LA!“

“Great food, great atmosphere, great service!It is the "Cheers" of the South Bay!Definitely need to go by, have dinner and drinks!It also has an amazing Chocolate Stout which is out of this world! Don't miss out on the experience where everyone will know your name!“

“This location has gone under numerous names and owners over the years but this incarnation is the best so far. Great beer options, well stocked bar, and a very good kitchen are all available to the visitor. I came by for lunch and ordered the cheese steak sandwich. It was AMAZING. They use truffle cheese, great bread, and the whole thing was delicious. Small pickle slice and pickled veggie garnish was a great touch. Service is solid and the place was not very crowded at noontime. Lots of live music and other stuff going on at night too.“

“The beef carpaccio is a miracle of a dish. I hope they never remove it from the menu because I would order this daily if I could. The orange wine was ok, chilled red was good. Halibut was ok. Very small intimate setting.But...the beef carpaccio makes this 5 stars.“

“Never had ramen broth that wasn't made from pork. The taste was amazing, light, refreshing and less oilier than tonkotsu. The noodles were boiled to perfection, chewy and delicious. The TanTan Men were tasty as well, the peanut broth wasn't too overpowering. I will definitely go back again in the near future.“

“really solid burgers & tots it wasn't quite as smashed as i would prefer, (or as smashed as it was the first time i went) resulting in a bit of a thicker undercook but still tasty. close to the beach. street parking can be a bit tough but you'll figure it out“

“Places like this is why I like to travel. They weren't even on my list, but they were across the street from my hotel and playing good music. As soon as I checked in and settled into my room, I dodged traffic to grab a drink and listen to some tunes. They have someone playing every night. They don't have an extensive alcohol list, and I didn't see any liquor, but they had beer, wine and bubbles. I tried all the IPAs they had on tap, Garage something was the winner. I ended up going multiple times over my two day stay. Chatted with the bartenders and some of the customers and musicians. All cool people, GVO. Sunday night I only caught the last two songs of the set, but Monday was open mic and they had several decent musicians that played a couple songs each. I was impressed, but as you can imagine, talent levels are starkly different for LA artist and Pascagoula regulars. So I might not be the best judge if you're really an audiophile. No cover but that does show up in the price of drinks. Come for HH though if you want to pregame for the shows.“

“I'm so glad the Cask Ale is still available at this location. They've got options for wine and even some fun beer type cocktails. I had the burger with chili I think it's the Tom E and thank goodness it wasn't bigger because it was incredibly delicious.“

“Pier restaurant, good quality food. It doesn't provide table service but you have to order at the counter and use the number they give you to collect your food as soon as you are called. I recommend it because the quality is high and the prices are average“

“Nice local place good food and drinks at a reasonable price. Great place to watch the games. The staff is very friendly. I had the Barbacoa Quesadilla that was very good. They have a private room for parties of business you can book. Great place to hangout and meet the locals.“

“Att: Customers of El Compadre do not order online from this app app.orderhero.us its a SCAM. they take your money and the restaurant does not receive your order. It has nothing to do with the restaurant. Call the restaurant, its the best way to secure your order directly.“

“This establishment offers a pleasant dining experience. During my recent visit to Los Angeles, I discovered this restaurant and was impressed by the quality of their cuisine. The hot dogs were particularly noteworthy, as they were both flavorful and generously sized. The portion of fries provided was also substantial enough to satisfy the appetites of two individuals. While the beverage selection was limited to basic options, it was adequate. I intend to revisit this establishment during my next trip to the area.Additionally, I observed an intriguing decorative element within the restaurant: the walls were adorned with one-dollar bills.“

“I went there to watch a Lion's game. It was already at capacity, so I had to wait in line for a little while. Luckily, I could see the game from outside and keep up with the game.Once I finally made it inside, I found out they were out of cider and hard seltzers. They only had beer, white wine and red wine. They ran out of wine around half time too.Overall, the ambiance was amazing, the crowd was great, and the staff was super friendly. I just wish they had more gluten free options for food and drinks.“

“?? Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 stars)I recently had the pleasure of visiting Lomita Alehouse during their Octoberfest celebrations, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! ??At first glance, the bar may seem a bit small, but do not let that deceive you. The cozy atmosphere adds to its charm, and it creates a wonderful sense of camaraderie among patrons. ??What sets Lomita Alehouse apart is their inclusion of a billiard table. This added feature is a great way to engage with friends while enjoying a drink. I had a blast challenging my friends to friendly games of pool.??One unique aspect that I really appreciated was the utilization of the outdoor parking area for a live concert. This addition was unexpected but turned out to be an amazing surprise. The atmosphere was electric, and the good vibes were contagious. ??The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure everyone had a great time. They seemed genuinely passionate about making the experience memorable for all customers. The service was quick, and the drinks were reasonably priced. ??Overall, my time at at this bar was truly enjoyable. The combination of the Octoberfest celebration, billiard table, and the vibrant atmosphere in the outdoor concert area made for an unforgettable night. I highly recommend giving this bar a visit if you're looking for a good time. Cheers! ?? #arnoldvides“

“SO FUN. One of my favorite breweries in the South Bay. As a person who loves to sample and loves a diverse menu, this is a perfect place for me. The servers have always been so nice when we came (although service can be a bit slow on those busy nights). Parking can be tough!“

“Great place to eat! Smokehouse burger was very good! Lots of fries and the great service mixed with the history and solid song selection makes this place now an all time favorite of mine! Can’t wait to go back when they have live music! Worth the price.“

“Mixed feelings for this place; as if they're trying to be an expensive meal with cheap experience. If you're charging $20 meal, it's definitely nice to receive napkins and utensils without having to go back in and ask for them. Service can improve with that (at least for me). HiHo burger was nothing to rave about, even opting to pay for the "spicy sauce," which seemed to be a salsa verde mix, that could be a free add on lol. Now, the basic Cheese burger!! Now this, this is your bread butter of your menu. Basic, classic, simple but delicious cheeseburger!! Highlight this item as your go to order if someone ask. Fries are a most order! No ketchup needed No high chair for toddlers/children“

“Great service and prices. This is my go to place to take friends and family for a fun night and great Pizza and other items on the menu. You have to order the warm amazing chocolate chip cookie and ice cream for desert. Very kid friendly and parking at the back.“

“Celebrated my birthday on a Wednesday, 2nd time in a row. Cool spot, great outdoor area, with heat lamps. Friendly staff, cool music.Downsides, no food aside from hot dogs and only street parking.Vegetarian options: None, no foodParking: No lot, only busy street.Kid-friendliness: It's a bar so no!Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs so good!“

“Love this place but today I had the wings and was very upset.Wings were barely warm tasted like they were not fresh. Buffalo sauce was almost tasteless. Like I said I love this places food but the wings were not on par with all the other food I have gotten there.“

“Got into town late and was looking for something open past 9pm on a weekday and found this place closeby. Was a chilly night so hot ramen and beers to end the night was a win win for me.Parking was tight but we were seated right away, ordering the ramen set, fried rice and some beers. Service was quick, food was hot and delicious and we all left full and satisfied. 5 stars??“

“This is my favorite Korean barbecue spot in LA. Hands down I've been coming here for a number of years in the quality of the food and the taste not to mention the delicious kimchi. I constantly bring family members and other folks just to eat here and I will drive from out of town 2 and 1/2 mi just have dinner here.“

“Noisy dark bar with people having a blast.Yes good quality and quantity of food.I had fish and chips. The single piece I ordered was more than twice as thick as most places have. Partner had pork chops and mash and was satisfied.10 screens to watch, but blink and you will miss the plain door to enter the place.“

“One of my favorite musical artist, Kaiien Cruz, had an album listening party here and IT WAS GREAT!!Brian, the bartender, was super kind. It is a great spot and very spacious. There's a stage, there's space for all to enjoy and not have to worry about bumping into one another. They have a pretty big bar and they also have a patio area where someone can smoke and chill. The artwork at ArtBarLA was STUNNING!! Definitely check it out.Parking could be a bit annoying but there's ample parking around the corner, in the residential area so that was pretty cool. There's also a Bowlero parking lot, around the corner -- take what you want with that lol.“

“We ate a meal here for our first time and we pleasantly surprised by how good it was. My husband and always split a meal because portions are so huge, we shared a tri tip sandwich with French fries. The whole place was very energetic and we were not disappointed at all!“

“We just left the SoFi stadium after the game. Came here to wait out the traffic. The walk here was well lit, clean, and had plenty of police and security to make us feel safe. The food was good, the atmosphere was better. Our server Raul HUSSLED around getting us our food and drinks! 10/10 recommend. Now we're leaving in a great mood, and our Uber should be right here. It's totally worth it to wait out the traffic.“

“I've been to this location a couple of times and the food is always tasty. It is a little spendy for what it is, but it's a good pizza. The location is always clean and the staff has been very friendly. The location is conveniently located in the USC village and is easy to get to from campus. It's worth a visit if you like a tasty pie.As for the pizza, I had the BBQ chicken. If you're like me a despise pineapple on pizza, ? ? this pizza isn't right for you. On the upside, this pizza comes with jalapenos and almost offsets the sweetness of the ? pineapple. The thin crust was a little too floury but the crispness of the crust added to the experience. Overall, pretty good pizza.“

“So many outstanding specialty pizzas that you will never run out of combinations that please. These Suffolk County natives know the importance of an exquisite pizza dough and service to match. Ingredients are all fresh and craft beer and wine selection is outstanding. Salads are bountiful, original and delicious! Gratefully this palace of pizza is walking distance from our house. It’s worth the trip as you will certainly return again and again. Their official opening is not for another week and we were blown away with tonight’s meal. The garlic knots ALONE will make you a repeat customer!“

“Came for brunch on New Years Day and the food and cocktails were great! Service was wonderful and our server, Devon, made great recommendations.We will definitely be returning!Kid-friendliness: They have a great kids menu with the classic favorites!“

“Definitely a great place to eat. The staff is not very helpful, you have to spend time waving them down in order to get your drinks filled. The quality of the meats are great, the food is good because you cook it yourself. I can definitely say we had our fair share of food, we went away full. It's a very busy place so if you plan to go make sure you leave time to wait before being seated.“

“If you are looking for a pint, wish some great views of the mostly sunny Orange County then look no further! I love that it's a quick location to grab a drink with a decent amount of seating. From my experience the service is usually pretty quick as they understand you are in the airport and may need to jet off to your destination. Addition to being speedy, they are usually pretty friendly. If you like beer, then stop on by while in John Wayne airport.“

“So I was looking for a place that had karaoke near my friend's home since she doesn't have a car. I had never been here before, but am always open to trying new places. At first I wasn't sure what to expect, as many dive bars have a "members only" feel, but I was so impressed by how lovely, friendly, and happy everyone was! I have never in my entire life been treated so warmly by both bartenders and patrons as I was at the Eagle's Nest last night. Not only that--I frequent karaoke bars often, and the host and singers here were so kind and encouraging! Many other places take the karaoke too seriously and don't clap much for other people. Not here, though! Everyone claps, dances, and sings along, and everyone treats each other so nicely! It's just such good vibes all around and the KJ, Sammy, is awesome, too! Really great and charismatic host. They have karaoke every Wed-Saturday. Oh, and they have White Claw, which is such a bonus for me! I had such a blast here, and I will definitely be returning--probably regularly!! Thank you for providing such a fun and welcoming place to party, Eagle's Nest! My friends and I had so much fun!!!“
