“Note: I only gave the food a 3-star because we didn't order anything and were provided with some complimentary chips and there was not a N/A option. I'm not a connoisseur of wines or spirits, but this speakeasy was extremely enjoyable. It is a great way to start or end a meal at Scopa and we enjoyed the experience immensely. The bartender was knowledgable, friendly, and conversational. We were there for almost two hours and it felt like 15 minutes. The ambiance was quiet yet exciting, and listening to the maitre de and bartender tell us about the history of the location, some of the spirits, and just general conversation made this unforgetable.”
“The food was good overall! We tried the fried mushroom shared plate, which was a little average. It was essentially fried mushrooms with a sweet and tangy sauce. We also had the Firecracker Maki Roll, which was good, although it leaned a little on the sweeter side.
My absolute favorite was the udon noodles! They were creamy, flavorful, and just perfect. I would definitely recommend trying them.
The atmosphere was lovely, with the option of both indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, it was a nice dining experience, especially for the udon noodles!”

“The food was absolutely delicious. The service on the other hand needs improvement One in our party of 4 had their drink served 20 min after the rest. It was a martini but came with no olives when olives were asked for. It seemed the waiter had too many tables and the lack of good service really distracted from the overall dining experience”

“I can’t believe this has lower than a 4.8. Pizzana is the real deal. We just came back from Italy and it’s not too far off from our favorite spot in Italy, truly. The Neo Margherita is our go to, it’s so delicious and not like any other pizza in LA. Their salads are also super fresh and the focaccia is so yummy. Pizzana stays in our rotation and never disappoints.”
“Delicious, Persian food. Generous portions, great service and atmosphere.”

“Favorite spot when visiting LA. Fresh sushi, nice ambience. Can't go wrong with either Nozawa Trust Me or Don't Think. Just Eat menu. One order of these two menus can be shared with two people because they are a lot! Unagi here is yummy if you want to add to the two there. And if you just want light stuff, order the handrolls. I like ordering lobster hand roll and the crab roll. Excellent combo. Oh if you're too lazy to go and wait, their take out via Uber Eats is also good. They come with a good packaging too! Also tip is included. No more counting!”
“Happy New Year Y’all!!🥂✨🤘🏼🥳 As many of you know I’ve been playing piano and singing at Casa Ado in Venice for the last 3.5 years, for a total of 700+ shows. There have been two paintings with me in them, a painted recording of this era of my life! It is unclear what will be happening with the restaurant going forward, as there may be some ownership change. Everyone is sort of holding their breath, and for now, music has not been included in January of 2020. There is talk it could go either way in Feb. 🤷🏻♂️ Thank you all who have come and supported me these past few years on Washington Square and I will keep everyone posted as to what settles out in the next bit of time. For now, I am looking at all the possibilities and have some cool projects lined up on the horizon. Add me as a friend, Stay in touch, and wishing you all the best decade yet! 🥂✨🥳🤘🏼 Love, Mike 🎹🎤❤️”
“Great food and service. The only drawback was the host didn’t see that the table needed to be cleaned and tried to make us believe that the stains would not come out but we were referring to the clear as day crumbs left by the precious guest. She finally went and came back to clean the table and the seat cushion that was full of debris from previous guest. Other than that, everything was great.”
“I came here for lunch and ordered the Thai mango salad. It was really good and refreshing. It has a good amount of spice too. The manager who took my order provided great service. I think his name is Pedro. He was really nice and friendly. The food didn’t take long to come out either. Their drinks were also delicious.”
“I went there for my first time today and my family and I loved it. My dads side of the family is from Chihuahua Mexico 🇲🇽 and it was great to enjoy such great food. The prices are so great. I highly recommend this place! I had the Machaca plate and my mom and grandma had the chili relleno enchiladas plate.”

“As crazy as our Birthday party was, in the bar, our server, Jose, was awesome. There were 2 or 3 other large gatherings at the Marriott hotel, where Singer is, adjacent to the lobby. However, we felt completely cared for. I ordered the classic burger...I am a burger aficionado... It was awesome! I could say that I am ashamed of all the parmesan fries I ate, but nope, not sorry. They were awesome, as well. I don't know if it's a good or bad reality that this place is only a couple miles from my home because...Oh who am I kidding? I would return to this place of great service, atmosphere, fun and food, no matter the distance. Great job Marriott hotel and Sinder restaurant. We will return...often!”
“Breanne? I think that was her name. she was a great waitress! The hostess was very sweet, the food was so good the filet mignon is probably the best steak i’ve ever had. they broil it and serve it on a 500 degree plate. The gentleman at the front didn’t seem too pleased with us when we arrived but changed his tune when he walked past us when we were eating and introduced himself as the new manager.”
“I stopped by Cast & Plow for breakfast while staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey.
The location is easily one of the highlights. The lady who greeted me was polite and welcoming and offered me a table outside overlooking the marina. Sitting by the water in the morning was incredibly peaceful and made for a great start to the day.
I ordered the Marina Breakfast for $37, which included juice, coffee, toast, two eggs made to order, a choice of pork or chicken sausage, and a small side of greens. My eggs were cooked exactly as requested, and everything else was well prepared and as expected. It’s certainly not an inexpensive breakfast, but you’re also paying for the setting and the overall hotel experience.
The only slight frustration was the beginning of the service. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes before my server came over to greet me. Once that happened, though, the service was attentive for the rest of the meal. He checked on me several times, refilled my coffee, and brought the check promptly when I was ready.
The table and patio area were clean, and it’s hard to beat having breakfast with a marina view on a quiet LA morning.
Overall, a very enjoyable breakfast with good food, attentive service after the initial wait, and an excellent waterfront setting. I would happily come back.”
“Amazing breakfast and pastries right on the water in Marina Del Rey! Fabulous service too! Highly recommend!”
“We come to Enya often, and love the food and vibe. The rolls are creative, the fish always fresh, and the chefs and staff are welcoming and attentive. One of our fave spots in Venice/MDR!”

“I seriously couldn't choose what to get because everything looked awesome and healthy. Lots of vegan options, nutrient dense smoothies and grab and go items. Cashier was super nice and patient and made my drink quick. I love that they had grab and go energy bites in the fridge section as well.”
“Favorite IHOP location, awesome country fried steaks, well made eggs to order, great diner steaks, and notably AMAZING sirloin steak tips. Love their breakfast stuff with pancakes and sauces. AWESOME burgers, massive sized with a burst of flavor from everywhere. Nice staff, clean nice place located in a nice area, with available free parking. Have frequented and will frequent.”
“The man inside was nothing but kind to me. Im not from LA and my phone died trying to find my way back to my hotel. I went into Jersey Mikes and he refused to lend me a charger for a couple minutes. I decided to try here and he let me use it, offered me candy, and was so nice. I didnt try the food but with with their hospitality alone I will come eat here on my next visit. Thank you again!”
“I was craving ribs & collard greens- so we went out and got some! What I was not expecting was the largest rib I’ve seen in a WHILE!
Thank you for explaining your menu to us and for the woman on register for genuinely being such kind people to us and others as we sat to eat. :)”
“Good food and wonderful people Angela was so kind I saw them giving free food to homeless people which shows what great people they are, their prices are very reasonable too.I asked for something extra but Angela didn't charge me for it she just smiled and said it's okay you don't have to pay we need to support local businesses like this highly recommended”
“The smoothies are delicious!! I recommend the Venice muscle beach. I always get this one and can’t get enough of it.
And the chicken salad 👌🏼 although I do recommend calling or buying the food in advance through the web page so that you just pick it up when it’s ready and don’t have to wait. Overall 5 stars!!”
“We had the pleasure eating at Baja Cantina yesterday. Delicious food, we had mushroom tacos, chicken fajitas and watermelon margeritas. The best host David, a gentle giant, softspoken and polite - what a great asset to the Baja Cantina team 👏”
“Authentic, delicious and wonderful. A true Venice beach gem..! Highly recommend this place and will be back 100%! Thank you for the excellent service and stellar food. 🤙🏽”

“On a cool day, when the city noise reluctantly fades, I found myself at the doors of a place called Killer Cafe. And I entered like a wanderer seeking not only food, but a moment of comfort.
Inside, I was met with a gentle light, like the evening glow upon a quiet river. The people there were not hurried, yet not idle—each occupied with their own purpose, as though every minute carried its own value.
I tasted a simple dish, yet one made with care; and in that simplicity there was meaning, much like a line that seems plain at first, but holds the soul of its maker. Their coffee was strong and warm, awakening thoughts like a morning after a long winter night.
And I thought: it is not luxury that defines this place, but its ability to shelter the weary traveler and grant a brief moment of peace amid the noise of the world.
Such is my impression—modest, yet warm, like the handshake of an old friend.”
“Decided to write a review and give them 5+ STARS! Absolutely amazing experience! The food was outstanding—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The service was exceptional, with friendly, attentive staff who made us feel welcome from start to finish. Everything about this restaurant exceeded our expectations. Great food, great service, and an all-around amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend, and we can’t wait to come back!”
“I am a long time customer at Marina del Rey
Baja Fresh. They have best food and I
always order Shrimp UltimonBurrito with guacamole and pico de gallo (no veggies
or baja salsa) or Taco Tuesday shrimp tacos
with only onion/cilantro and side of rice.
El Torito and Baja Fresh both have best
Mexican food. The staff always treat
customers so well! They have extensive
menu too.”
“Thank you for the ice blended I was struggling with Jeremy or Jeffery. My apologies Brotha. Imma follow through with Jeffery, lol I place your drink you made in the TOP 5 SO FAR in over hundreds I been to all over Cali. One a day, two at best. Keep up the Quality integrity.”
“They say it used to exist in Korea, but is now almost gone. The ice cream is mixed once on a cold stone plate and then served. There are two flavors to choose from in the large size, and you can mix them or serve them separately. Chocolate was better than vanilla.”
“5 stars. Best hand rolled sushi. Great atmosphere and customer service. Beautiful view of the Marina.”

“I live in this area. my first trip here was great and I received great customer service and the coffee was good. the second trip I encountered someone who didn't really greet me when I came to the counter even though I was the only one and she wasn't really busy and the coffee she made was not that great because it was almost all oat milk on top and the syrup on the bottom. they definitely have very good pastries but the coffee is more questionable.”
“Pinkberry drop in and it has been a bit since I have had Pinkberry. This was a rekindling moment. Pinkberry yogurt is made with real nonfat milk and yogurt with fresh fruit toppings that are hand-cut daily. Let's jump right into this review.
This location is in Marina Del Rey inside a bustling shopping center. A few shops and plenty of food options.
Things to know -
** Single swirl or side-by-swirls offered. **
1. Variety of flavor options, which but the OG Sweet/Tart & Pomegranate is always available. Different Seasons bring different flavors. Currently- Summer Melon Crush is available! During my visit we tried Blueberry Lavender and it was really good!!!
2. Variety of toppings offered.
3. Light and low calories if you don't add all the sweet toppings.
4. Reasonable prices.
5. They offer ice bags for yogurt you are taking to-go. I really like this because your yogurt stays cold on the way home.
6. Excellent customer service.
7. Dining in, go right ahead. A few tables and chairs inside. Cute decor. You want some vitamin D, dine outside, location has plenty of outdoor seating in the shopping center.
During peak hours this shopping center is full of folks and cars. Parking can be a challenge. Just something to note.
Pinkberry is light and refreshing - great treat all year long.”
“Popped into Alfred Marina Del Rey for some coffee and a bagel after my daughter's game, and everything was amazing. I felt the great energy right away, and the baristas made sure to warmly acknowledge us the second we walked in. The service was impressively fast even though there was a bit of a line. The matcha was spot-on, and the bagel was perfectly toasted and fresh! Such a welcoming vibe and a great team you have working there—we will definitely be back!”
“My husband and I came here on Mother's Day today and got here early enough! Awesome food, Mauro and Todd are the best behind the bar! Have the chicken and French Toast or the Carrot cake pancakes. You will not be disappointed! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰”
“From out of town and wanted to stop somewhere and have a beer. So glad we picked this place! Joel and Kata the bartenders were fantastic. No waiting to get served. Beer was ice cold. Very welcoming to out of town guests. Highly recommend”

“Very happy! Super good! Started with their flakey Brussels sprouts with a kick. Then did a seafood plate in chili garlic sauce! Everything was so good and the 4 pot of spices and sauces they bring were amazing!”
