“We loved our experience and feel like we found our home away from home. Coffee was in cast amounts and fresh for what looked like unlimited refills. The food was delicious and served promptly. The outdoor patio was delightful and full of shade. Very excited for our return!“

“Such a gem! One of my best savored things I’ve ever enjoyed was the octopus. The service was phenomenal.“

“Have dined at Pearl District many times over the years for special occasions or just a nice evening out. It's always consistently delivered in great customer service and quality food. Offers great drink options and also an extensive wine list (by the glass or bottle). Some of the standout dishes are the "pan roasted wild mushrooms", "braised short ribs", filet mignon & branzino. For dessert the "wonder bar" is a must!“

“This is a hidden gem just off PCH. We absolutely love Country Kitchen!!! Best breakfast burrito in LA in my opinion. The potatoes are seasoned perfectly, the ratio of egg/cheese/potato is perfect and their salsa is delicious! There is parking and some tables outside, great to pick up to-go. We drive from Venice to Country Kitchen almost every weekend to get these.“

“Amazing food and the service is always 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I did the takeout but I had to have the Pinot pasta with sausage but the chicken dinner which I wish I could remember the name of that special someone ordered? Was one of the best meals I’ve ever seen in my life and ever eaten… I had to have a bite of hers lol! The penne pasta with sausage was beyond yum!“

“I had a wonderful stay at Malibu Beach Inn! The hotel facilities were truly exceptional. The location right on the beach is absolutely stunning, and the views from the rooms are breathtaking. The rooms themselves are elegantly decorated and extremely comfortable, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff at the hotel were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was enjoyable. One of the highlights of the stay was meeting Realda. She was the most gracious host and her attention to detail was incredible. She kindly upgraded our room as it was my sisters birthday, we had a cake in the room along with a sweet birthday card. She packed up a bag of towels and freshly baked cookies we could enjoy on the beach. She was amazing! Malibu Beach Inn exceeded my expectations in every way, providing a luxurious and unforgettable beachfront experience. I can't wait to return and make more cherished memories at this exceptional hotel.“

“This place is beyond any restaurant I have ever been to. The owners are so sweet and genuine about their service, they truly care about the enjoyment of their customers. The food is even better than the service. Fushion Grill has some of the best food I have ever tasted with good, fresh ingredients. You can tell it is made with love and care for the customer. Overall this place is fabulous, I have visited a few times over the years and every time is better than the last.“

“We sat outside. So pleasant. He ordered the blackened shrimp tacos with avocado. I got the combo, grilled 5 cheese, Ceasars salad and onion rings. Totally recommend both meals! Gotta get the tacos with the avocado, apparently. Great experience and we will be back! Thanks, Lazy Dog!“

“Great stop. Rich is the best.“

“Good eats and great ice cream“

“Malibu Farm on the Pier is one of my favorite spots in town — fresh food, gorgeous views, and that quintessential Malibu coastal atmosphere. I often bring clients and friends here because the setting really captures the lifestyle people fall in love with when they think of Malibu. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or a late afternoon stop, Malibu Farm is always consistent, relaxed, and such a beautiful place to unwind.“

“The avocado burger special and chicken plate with brussels sprouts, beet and carrot were both excellent — fresh, clean, and well-executed. But the real standout was the employee Evan. Attentive, genuine, and made sure we were taken care of the entire visit.

Urban Plates Thousand Oaks is solid, but service like this is what brings you back.“

“A beautiful day taking a VW Bus tour! Lovely drive in through the mountains to the site, Sonia checked us in and was wonderful. Stephanie was our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better one. She was so kind, knowledgeable, attentive and patient. The property was stunning, we tasted 4 (I think!) different wines, chardonnay was a favorite amongst the group. As a local, I cannot believe I didn’t know about this sooner. I will have to come back for a hike tour!“

“Eat inside was pretty good . You bet I’ll be back delicious 🤤“

“Friendly bartenders & awesome food! 🍔“

“I absolutely love Urbane Cafe! Every time I come in, the staff is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind it really makes the experience even better. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the fish sandwich is AMAZING. It’s one of my go-to spots and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“Un lugar muy agradable te atienden súper bien“

“Lemmo's Grill - the best local restaurant in Moorpark!! We love the penne ala vodka with skirt steak, the filet, the stir fry, and the pork chop! Mike Lemmo's drinks are top notch too!! We can 💯 recommend for a great night out!“

“Love this place! Excellent food! Great atmosphere! The menu is HUGE! It took me 30 minutes to pick something the first time I went there because there were so many delicious things to choose from. I think the waitress came by like five times. Are you ready yet? Lol 😆 Oh yeah and they have a Huge selection of shakes and malts“

“This place is amazing !! Everything about it is great, the service, food, ambiance. Great cocktails and they have very talented and handsome bartenders! Love this place !“

“I just wanted to thank the owner and staff for your generosity and patience yesterday on your busiest day of the year. On a whim I decided to stop by. My family was super happy when I got home. Our boys decided every Friday will be Valentino's. And I couldn't agree more. Thank you again.“

“Absolutely fantastic restaurant. I literally walk here and eat frequently with friends and family because I live on Presidential Drive, the same street that the Reagan library is on.

I strongly suggest the turkey croissant club sandwich! Delicious.

All of the eateries inside the library are really good. Actually I love the lemonade at the pub. I don’t drink.“

“Located inside of Nordstrom at The Oaks Mall (on the 2nd floor), this restaurant is a nice little hideaway from all typical dining choices available when I work in TO. It's familar, and also nice, but not pretentious. The food and drinks are consistently good and on par with the other locations, and the service is great ( service may be even better than some other locations). Thank you for the pleasant service, wonderful food, and hideaway vibes in TO“

“Love this place. Highly recommend.“

“If you follow What’s Gaby Cooking, you know how exciting it is to have Neighborly and Gaby’s right here in Westlake Village. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The salads, bowls, and sandwiches are all incredible.

They recently added catering, and as a local realtor, I love having this local gem cater my broker open houses. The salads and sandwiches are always a huge hit.

Such a great addition to the Westlake Village food scene and one of my favorite local spots.“

“Great tri tip and baby back ribs nice size side portions great tastsling food all around me highly recommend it“

“Korina V. was my server and she was 10/10! She was kind and helpful and overall gave amazing customer service.“

“Taverna Tony’s is one of my longtime Malibu favorites. The food is always fresh and flavorful, the atmosphere is full of energy, and the patio dining feels like a little escape to the Greek islands. I bring clients and friends here often because it’s relaxed, welcoming, and consistently excellent — the kind of place that really showcases Malibu’s charm. Whether it’s lunch on the patio or dinner with live music, Taverna Tony’s never disappoints.“

“Great menu, fantastic service and staff. Tremendous supporters of the Moorpark community! Will definitely be a repeat customer!“

“Quinoa, vegetable dish and the crab cakes.“

“Sadly, I would recommend the Denny’s in Moorpark and NOT the “new one” in Simi Valley. We were SO EXCITED to see that a Denny’s was coming back to Simi Valley - and for the first few months we enjoyed weekly breakfast and dinner once a week. Servers started changing (NOT a good sign) and sometimes it seems like they really didn’t want to be there. And WHAT on earth did they do to the gravy? I use to love a side order or biscuits and gravy - but the last three times it was watery and had absolutely NO flavor. Today we had lunch at the Denny’s in Moorpark and the food was excellent and the servers were attentive, friendly - and ones we have seen working there for years. That has to say something about how management is treating them. The last time we went to dinner at the Simi Valley Dennys - a nice, familiar waitress served us and I told her we had missed seeing her and she said her days were cut to just 2 days a week. She use to work at the Denny’s on Sycamore and also at the Coco’s on Los Angeles Ave. (now closed). We’d sure like to see MORE servers like her at the Simi Denny’s - any restaurant that has such a change over in staff is not a good sign. A happy, well treated server will tend to stay if the Manager is good and cares for their employees. I’ve lived in Simi for almost 50 years and many of my friends who also liked the Denny’s on Sycamore now go to the one in Moorpark instead of the one closer to “home”. That is such a shame. In general, we all like Denny’s menu and affordable prices - but our local Denny’s needs to care more about providing it’s customers with the best food and service possible. Please, Simi Denny’s - hire better staff - including cooks - and treat your staff better so they will want to stay - and will be happy to serve their customers instead of making us feel like our servers would rather be somewhere else.“

“Nice and comfortable atmosphere.“

“Great food, but lawd have mercy, they need to UP the quality of their mimosa champagne!!!! It’s NASTY.“

“Thanks very much to Cristian for making our dining experience so great! He greeted us warmly from the get go, took our order promptly, thoughtfully split the beer we ordered to share, and was kind and attentive throughout our meal. We enjoyed the mahi mahi tacos and cheese quesadillas, both very yummy, we’d definitely return to eat there again!“

“Good food! Good combos fresh bread fast service, reasonable $“

“This place is really cool. Outdoor seating, quick delicious food and fun environment.“

“After reading Google Reviews, this place was on our list for breakfast while visiting Calabasas. It's really an old diner with good old fashioned breakfast. Service was really good, breakfast was great and selection on the menu was awesome. While we got lucky finding a parking spot on a busy Sunday morning, I can see where that could be an issue.“

“Always a great experience and I’ve never had a bad meal. Everything I tried has been great, especially the potatoes wedges.“

“Visiting from Houston and stopped by for dinner. I ordered the salmon with fingerling potatoes and green beans. OMG! Absolutely delicious and the portion size was impressive. Leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Food was piping hot. 👌Loved our waitress—she was definitely on her A-game. ❤️ Y’all scored a perfect 10. The Cabernet was delish. 🍷I’ll be back again. Thank you. 😘🌸🌿“

“Drive my 1 horsepower truck and bring my Nalla Puppy in for yummy grilled chicken breast“

“I ordered up a BLT With fried eggs to pick up while on my route. Food was awesome, fries don’t need dipping but the house ranch was killer. Service was fast and friendly. Definitely going back to check out the smashed chicken sandwich.“

“Great service, thank you David. Great food, Always delicious!!“

“We had a lovely lunch. Macy was our server. she was sweet and took good care of us. We are definitely adding this restaurant to our favorites.“

“This place is ten minutes from my house but the Angeleno along us is the one who found it and invited us there! Nice outdoor seating if you don’t want to be indoors; the cute menu includes vegetarian options and nice cocktails (though not poured deep); we lived our options. I got the impossible taco salad (Impossible crumbles replaced regular hamburger taco meat); my son had a Pepperoni flatbread; he pointed out to us that (per the menu)a dollar from every sale of that pizza goes to children’s charities. Gotta like a place that gives back! 💙 The Reuben was phenomenal. The wait staff was pleasant, courteous, and cheerful. We will be back!“

“Wonderful! Beautiful setting!Relaxing atmosphere! Great service!“

“Fantastic food, Christina and team provide excellent service. Everything is top notch.“
