“A beautiful morning at Crystal Cove...7AM reservation at a table with great views of the ocean and our smiling server, Oscar, welcoming us with strong hot coffees & cream. Perfect. I enjoyed a typical breakfast that was perfectly prepared to my order: poached eggs, extra crispy potatoes & bacon with rye toast and blackberry jam. My lovely partner was overwhelmed by the tasty gigantic "Savory Spinach & Mushroom Crepe". It would easily feed two people. Oscar was very attentive and often stopped by with more hot coffee. Delightful.”

“This was the best first-time experience at the A Crystal Cove! We had Matt as our server and he made our experience very special & memorable! From the yummy drinks, to the delicious food, every single part of our experience was amazing, especially with Matt! Make sure you guys ask for Matt's section, you won't regret it!”

“We went here for a special birthday celebration. It is recommended to make reservations ahead of time. We last minute called and were able to get a reservation for 5. It is a nice candlelight ambiance. Food was delicious. We had ordered the osso, branzino fish with plate, and the steak. It was all delicious. When we sat down, it came with complimentary bread and marinated mushrooms. The veggies had celery in it which wasn’t my favorite”

“The four-bedroom villas are exceptional, with the South Villas offering breathtaking, unobstructed ocean views. The food, service, and staff exceed expectations in every way. The New Year’s Eve dinner was outstanding. An unforgettable stay…. we will absolutely return.”

They have food as well but we just got the yuzu matcha and lite Vtm on this visit. Good seating in the store with lots of light. And the drinks are great!”

“Cute lil spot with outdoor seating. Food looked great that was rolling out while we waited in queue to our order and get a table. Eggs, omelettes, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, sides, and pancakes. Has a lunch menu too if that's your thing but breakfast goes till 2pm. Highly recommend a visit. We'll be going back to say hi to Billy and try more items off the menu.”

“Jay and his assistant were so personable, friendly and engaging. Food and drinks were incredible. What a wonderful way to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary!”

“We needed something quick while we were out and wanted something that would leave us feeling good - found Urban Plates and it exceeded what we were looking for! My grass-fed steak was tender and juicy, the mac n cheese was comforting and delicious, and the side of beets paired well with the goat cheese. My husband enjoyed his crispy chicken sandwich and fries. I love the variety of food offered at Urban Plates and knowing my body is getting high quality nutrients while enjoying something delicious!

They also offer a membership discount - worth it if you live nearby and frequent this place!”

“Had an amazing experience at Haidilao! The food was fresh, high quality, and there was a great variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables to choose from. The broth was flavorful, and everything came out quickly.

What really stood out was the exceptional customer service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and constantly checked to make sure we had everything we needed. They went above and beyond to make the dining experience enjoyable.

The restaurant was clean, well organized, and had a welcoming atmosphere. If you're looking for delicious hot pot and outstanding service, I highly recommend Haidilao. I'll definitely be coming back!”

“Best Raman in United States hands down!!! Make sure u add Black garlic and hot spicy sauce”

“The best place to try Bosnian food! I can’t pick one favorite, from cevapi to pizza to pita , this food taste like homemade. All employees are nice and friendly, but the owner is an amazing human being, so humble and approachable, honest and relatable, love chatting with him every time we visit Cali, which is usually 2-3 times a year and we make sure we eat lunch and dinner at Sofra Urbana every day. See you soon! Can’t wait for the most delicious Bosnian food on the west side of the United States.”

“Don't listen to the lonely negative review! I get my bowl made to my preference every time (unlike Craig Peters' post below). The staff ALWAYS respects my request to substitute blueberries for strawberries due to allergic reactions. Delicious and healthy, and never a hassle.”

“I’m so glad I discovered Biryani Hunter. The biryani is some of the best I’ve ever had. Biryani Hunter’s lassi is the perfect refreshing complement to their flavorful biryani. Smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness! Can’t wait to come back!”
