“I recently hosted my birthday party at Barsha and it was amazing! The wine is always incredible and the food is delicious. But we love spending time at Barsha because of the wonderful staff who are so welcoming, knowledgeable, and helpful. It’s one of my favorite places in the South Bay!“
“Located between Tin Roof and Susie's cupcakes. I had a lovely time with a friend enjoying live music and drinking wine on a school night (Thursday) amidst a busy shopping area.Knowing there was no dinner served here, I called ahead of time to ask what I could bring in to enjoy with a wine flight. Just no meat, cheese or olives i was told. Fair enough. We brought our own hummus, crackers and fruit. (Darn it Susie's Cupcakes wasn't open for another sweet treat.)I loved my international wine flight choice and will be back again to try the other wine flights and the live music. The service is friendly and welcoming. No pressure or up sell. They were totally chill this night. Covered parking across the way.“
“Amazing breakfast burritos. The combination of hash browns, eggs, onions and chorizo or sausage is perfect. The flavor couldn’t be better. The salsas that come with the burrito are spicy so go light or have your burrito + sauces with a glass of milk.“
“The restaurant needs to buy one can of WD-40 to fix their squeaky front door. Had to wait 20 minutes outside the front door waiting for our table (which was not a big deal) but for the incredibly squeaky front door which opens repeatedly. Everyone waiting for their table was getting a headache. Food was great. I won't return until I know that door is fixed.“
“Me and my wife went here as a last-minute anniversary meal. We didn't book but managed to get a place at the bar to eat. The service and food were excellent, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I'd recommend the short rib beef to anyone that cared to listen. We sloped into the Old Man bar afterward for a final cocktail to finish the night. Drinks are a little pricey, if I'm honest, but the quality was there in abundance. I can't wait to go again.“
“Barrique offers an intimate dining experience with a mix of hits and misses on the menu.The 18-month aged prosciutto and burrata appetizer delighted with its flavors, while the octopus fell short in texture. The standout dish was undeniably the beet pasta, an absolute gem that left a lasting impression. However, the ribeye main dish, though good, suffered from an abundance of fatty pieces, detracting slightly from its overall appeal.The dessert, a Panna cotta with a cherry tart topping, was a delightful conclusion to the meal, showcasing a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess that left me thoroughly satisfied.The ambiance of Barrique is pleasant, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. While not every dish hit the mark, the standout offerings make it worth a visit for those seeking inventive Italian cuisine in Venice. Overall, Barrique provides a solid dining experience that still warrants a recommendation“
“One of my favorite Venice spots! The food is delicious, the service outstanding. Absolutely have the ricotta crostini with the gluten free bread (trust me) and the raw Brussels sprouts salad.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options and knowledgeable staff“
“401K is a Celiac's dream. Their exclusively gluten-free menu is fantastic--I've never been disappointed by a dish. It is impossible to tell their bread products/desserts are gluten-free, and their menu is thoughtful and varied. The ambiance is wonderful, whether you're inside or on their (dog-friendly!) patio, and the staff is lovely. I'd frequent 401K even without gluten restrictions; as someone with Celiac, 401K is an absolute game-changer.“
“This was an adorable place for pastries and lunch. There is free parking in the structure nearby, and paid street parking around. My partner and I split the Chilaquiles, which was phenomenal with fresh and crisp chips. The pastry we ordered was an apple danish of some sort, and that was delightful as well. You order in the front before self seating, and enjoying a laid-back time with yourself or your friends. The staff were super friendly. The prices were quite high, but understandable for the location and quality of food.“
“LA MUST GO! Everything we ordered from the scallops to the jamon and the mushrooms were delicious. And the spicy calabrese pizza was SOO good. The presentation of the food was also a treat. The service was great, the ambiance was cozy and quaint, and the owner was as generous and kind as could be. We had an exceptional experience and will be returning soon.“
“The food was delicious and the presentation was like art, the service was excellent, and the ambience of the place itself was beautiful. Visited with a group of friends so we were able to get different plates and try from each others, didn't get to photograph all of them but so good!“
“On this beautiful day, I came out to Bacari for my sisters birthday! The food was delicious, the service was awesome! Everyone here has a calm and inviting personality. Nolan was our server, who did an amazing job. He made my mom smile and had great menu suggestions .“
“Bodega has best of both worlds! You can grab a coffee and get some work done or you can grab a glass of wine and catch up with friends. I love coming here for both! Also their pizza is the best pizza in LA in my opinion ! At 5pm everyone puts their laptops away and it turns into an actual wine bar! LOVE IT ! Service is great! Ambiance is so cool! Lots of natural light which gives it a coffee shop feel! There's tall tables, a long bar and also couches to sit. They also have an outside patio for those warm sunny days !“
“A high quality spot right off the boardwalk. The pastas and steak were fantastic. The menu always has new items worth trying. The staff are friendly, know the menu inside and out, and have great suggestions. The squash blossoms are a go-to appetizer but honestly everything is good. I noticed a few customers had dietary restrictions and the staff came out with a menu marked with notes to help them order. Super nice!Vegetarian options: Can ask staff for custom orderDietary restrictions: Can order custom - they will mark the menu with what they can accommodateParking: Limited parking with free street and valet nearbyWheelchair accessibility: All one level with ramps“
“Love their pasta and order delivery often but had a babysitter last weekend so we got to go to the actual space for the first time. Very lively and cozy and friendly - the staff and clientele alike. We've yet to encounter a dish we haven't loved. The papperdelle and bucatini are my favorites, and our family enjoyed the mushroom fettuccine and lamb gnocchi. The shrimp diavola and the meatballs make excellent sides/starters. All of the desserts are fantastic - pannacotta is a huge hit, tiramisu is on point and Nutella bites are a pretty unique snack-size dessert.“
“Great local wine bar! Our server was very friendly and gave us a few recommendations, I went with the pinot noir which was delicious! The atmosphere was great, very chill and cozy. I can't wait to come back and try the small bites they offer!“
“A restaurant full of energy. From the chefs to the service staff, the owners, and the music, everything is charged with vitality. The dishes are fantastic, and the fish is freshly caught by the owner. The wine and champagne selection is good, and you can have any wine from the shelf chilled on ice. Fantastic.“
“We passed the restaurant about three weeks ago and it has now become one of our favorites for our date nights? The bar service is great, the chicken wings are the best and the steak meal is delicious! Our most recent visit with friends, the place was packed with customers and the vibe was so nice with a variety of people! It's close, convenient and also the valet attendants are excellent!“
“This is one of our favorites. Incredible service with no pretention and the food is exquisite. Grab a spot at the bar on a Saturday at 6:30pm and enjoy great cocktails, one of the best wines by the glass menus and just the best food. No scene, no nonsense. Just a great dining experience. Don't bring your “
“We love it here! We are regulars and have celebrated many special moments here. They have an extensive menu with rotating options. Pls keep adding delicious vegetarian options to the monthly menus, we will keep coming back! We miss your weekend brunch too :)“
“I love the concept of this restaurant and the service was spot on great! We sampled several dishes from the menu and I can highly recommend the yummy ribs, the swiss chard, and the asparagus was super (done with a tangerine sauce that was amazing)! The deviled egg was delightful as well as the tomato puree on toasts, a nice palette cleanser...And the goat milk flan was a desert winner!! I will say a few dishes just weren't up to par - the skewered calamari was underwhelming, not well spiced and rather bland, and the garling shrimp was overwhelming with too much garlic (and we were all garlic lovers). I was glad we asked for a quiet table, tucked up in the corner of the upstairs area (we had a double birthday dinner), because the noise level in general was very high. I recommend seating up on the balcony if possible. All in all, however, it was a great experience and we'll certainly go back and sample some more dishes from this neighborhood gem.“
“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!“
“Thanks you Daniel and the staff for an amazing experience. I don’t share this lightly after many disappointing donning experiences in LA. Everything was excellent both food and service. We had the meat and cheese charcuterie board where everything was superb. Their specialty cocktail, the Fizz’d Out, was one of the best we have ever had and their wine list was not only impressive but was reasonably priced. The chicken confit was exceptional and the apple tart was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Dont sleep on the vegetable sides too. Thank you! We will be back.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian sides“
“A California Style Mediterranean Restaurant, the menu ingredients fuse Mediterranean Cuisine with Asian Cuisine. Happy Hour is the best time to go 50% off. My favorite dishes are the Southeast Asian inspired Beef Tartar with Tapioca Waffer, similar texture as a Chinese Shrimp Chip. The Branzino is the best entrée, Roasted crispy skin. Every few minutes you'll see Flaming Saganaki Served at a neighboring tables.“
“I don't know why it's taken me so long to leave a review but this is hands down my favorite local wine spot. First, every time I have come here, the staff is super nice and knowledgeable. I've done wine tastings here as well as just stopping in for drinks with friends and each time, it has been great. The inside and outside has a cozy local feel to it. The wines are delicious and everything I have had has an amazing taste to it. Today was the first time I tried their orange wine and it was so refreshing and tasty. On my previous visits, I've had their pizza and charcuterie boards which was as equally delicious as their wines. Today, I came during brunch and while I didn't get to eat there, I loved how they had a grill outside the restaurant where you can see the food being cooked. It smelled so good! Great local spot for friends and family. I highly recommend.“
“Evening food is INCREDIBLE - like you’re in Italy. People are wonderful, especially the GM and head waiter. They make you feel very welcome. Only complaints - no vintages on wine list, no corkage. Food and wine list is also overpriced. And while I complain about the bill every time I come here, we go back. Because the food is incredible, the people are wonderful and you feel like you’re not in Hermosa Beach, but transported to somewhere else.“

“I've been here many times but never posted a review or any pics. They have a large assortment of tasty beers. Today, I had their 805 blonde with the 805 smash burger & fries. It was yum yum yum delicioso. They have a huge location inside and out with plenty of places to sit. Their service is top-notch. Stop by if you are ever in the area.“
“Absolutely a neighborhood favorite for Samo subs. Amazing ambiance, warm staff, and an impressive variety of dietary-friendly options on the menu. Highly recommended dishes include grilled octopus, mussels, chopped salad, tuna tartare, short ribs, bucatini, chicken under a brick, and grilled carrots. Despite its size, the restaurant offers ample space for lengthy conversations and boasts an excellent selection of wines.“
“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“
“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.“
“Too bad they will close this location, but they will move to middle west LA. Good luck, guys! Every dish is great, we had the entire menu ?, not all at one time, but we came to this place several times and tried everything. The pizzas are great, the appetizers are very tasty, but our favourite was - as we call it - “Live tiramisu” (the coffee and the cream are poured in front of you). ?? it’s a cozy, friendly place, where you have a good chat with the owner or the manager. Try White Dog (2007 red wine!!)???? and italian prosecco ??“
“I live 5 minutes from this restaurant but have never given it a shot. I took my girlfriend here and we were pleasantly surprised with the quick service, the quality of the food, and the friendliness of the staff. I had the filet and my girlfriend had the salmon and both were very good. We will be back.“
“The food was excellent by all definitions! The presentation was also on another level!! If you're looking for a culinary experience that excels in every aspect, I highly recommend it!I was thoroughly impressed by every aspect of my experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and elegant. The food not only tasted exquisite but was also presented beautifully, each dish a work of art on its own. The attention to detail in both flavor and presentation truly elevated the dining experience. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of perfect.“
“Wonderful new dining choice on the Redondo Beach pier. I live above the pier and we desperately need a good place to eat, most places are awful. We had two excellent sandwiches, We also had a great rose recommended by our server and sat in the window and watched people go by. A very nice experience, we will be back!“
“Locanda Positano is one of our favorite local Italian restaurants. On this particular occasion, it wasn't quite as stellar as usual. The food was good but the restaurant was very quiet (Easter Sunday dinner). As a result, service was a bit lax (non-attentive). I indicated when making the reservation that our group of 6 would be celebrating a birthday. There was no acknowledgement of it, which we found disappointing as we had celebrated a birthday there before. We'll go back, but this meal was not as memorable as we had hoped.“
“Found this place on yelp while in town. Great local place, lots of regulars in costume leading up to Halloween. Band played classic rock everyone could sing to. Standard bar fare well priced and served quickly. Sat next to owner who shared about upcoming bands and events. Nice hangout if you're visiting or live close by.“
“Delicious burgers and standout fries in a very pretty location by the water in Marina del Rey. You order at the counter then they serve you indoors or on the patio. Getting a table is a bit tricky and they aren’t too fast to turn them / clean up, but that doesn’t detract from a tasty burger!“
“An absolute gem nestled in Hermosa Beach! The seafood at Playa Hermosa is beyond compare – from the succulent oysters to the perfectly seared scallops and the delectable fish and chips, every dish was a culinary delight. The Albacore Sashimi was a personal favorite, bursting with freshness and flavor. But what truly elevated the experience was the breathtaking view of the pier from their patio. As we indulged in our meal, we were treated to the mesmerizing sight and the vibrant energy of people strolling by. A perfect harmony of delectable cuisine and scenic beauty, making every moment an unforgettable one. Can't wait to return!“
“This is a nice place to see a magic show or just to drink and hang out. It was my first time here, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere is nice and cozy. The theater and show I saw the other night was phenomenal, and I recommend you come here if you love magic and bars. You will not regret it.“
“Lovely vibe and worth checking out. Truffle Brussels and fried olives were highlights. The burger with cheese and the steak frites were good but not exceptional. The sundae was fun and tasty. Cocktail menu is comprised of fun riffs on classics.“

“I have been a big fan of Fleming’s for many years. Last Sunday we went there to celebrate a birthday, and took advantage of their promotion of a surf and turf special, a good size lobster tail and a 11 ounce filet mignon. Food was cooked perfect, Mr. Jackson’s service was excellent, price was reasonable. A planned one and half hour dinner turned into a very enjoyable 2 and half. We had a blast!“
“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!“
“Great date spot… though their warnings for spice are spot on… and actually sometimes don’t indicate how spicy they will be… our server shared that mild is too spicy for many and she was right.. the pad Thai was the best shrimp pad Thai I’ve ever had… highly impressed and we only got two dishesDietary restrictions: They have plenty of gluten free options“
“I really like this place and I'd never been here before until just a few days ago. I really loved their Fleetwood Mac N' Cheese! I don't drink but I like hanging out in the atmosphere and drinking a soda pop or something lol. I highly recommend this place. :)“
“Above and beyond my expectations. It was all in the details. Beautiful atmosphere that felt local and quaint. Service was friendly and cared deeply about their customers. Food was extremely fresh, perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. We'll be back over and over again.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options. The gluten free waffle and banana bread were worth the trip!“
“Great spot to eat, the food here is great and the service is always good. The service is great and I like the dimmed lights. I took off a star because you can only order off the happy hour menu if you're sitting at the bar. Which is ridiculous because it's so good, it's just really annoying.“
“Our server, Ramon, provided exceptional service. He presented the menu thoroughly and offered top-notch recommendations. We had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant last year and Ramon was our server then too. He gave us the same excellent service as he did today. As avid travelers, we value excellent customer service and Ramon epitomizes that. He is polite and professional, and a great asset to the team. The food was delicious, as expected, and arrived promptly, served piping hot. Thank you, Ramon, for the exceptional service. We are honored to be Hilton Diamond members and thoroughly pleased with the service we received. I forgot to take photos of our food.“
“NOT NILES AND FRASIER'S WINE BAR!Hubby and I went for the first time one weeknight during the holidays, and were instantly treated like old friends. Fred, the owner, is a wonderful host who introduced everyone to everyone and before long, I - a giant, self-conscious introvert- was chatting and laughing right along with everyone else. We met really cool, interesting people and had a blast!I’m no wine connoisseur, but our selections were delicious. The service was friendly and prompt, and they kept our water glasses filled, which was greatly appreciated.The venue itself was classy, warm and homey, and there’s a lovely outdoor patio that’s sometimes open.I definitely look forward to visiting again very soon!“
“Go inside and a you’ll be magnetized. The setting is pleasing, comfortable and elegant. There are tables of differing sizes depending on party size. The barista was great- he made me a wonderful matcha w honey drink that was delicious. The food was great. French omelette is yum. Loved the service“
