“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

“food and drinks were so good!“

“Had the best time, Nick was our server and he couldn't have been nicer and made our experience special. It was during lunch time and it was my friend's birthday. They took the time to even give her a sweet card to welcome her back and sent her a delicious desert. And food and drinks were delicious!“

“The music, ambiance“

“Nos atendieron muy bien y la comida es fantástica!!“

“biscuits “sent from heaven” Keyshia Cole voice Stopped by John O’Groats for some pre archery lesson fuel. Off rip, I knew it was gonna be bomb because my boyfriend actually has great taste and recommended it. I mean why would I date him otherwise? But I still had to be the one to taste it to believe it. Those biscuits put them on the MAP! I had lost faith in biscuits & gravy in this city. I have been let down time and time again because it was so weak. But these gave me hope for the future 🥹 I could see this place being my breakfast new normal. So if you ever want to stop by there, hit me up beforehand and we can brunch together🫶🏼🍽️ this is the type of place I would have FOMO over“

“The Hammer is one of my favorite LA Museums, and I always love to stop in at Lulu’s for a bite to eat, the 3-course meal, or just a cappuccino (at the bar.) The food is inventive and delicious, featuring local produce. The courtyard setting is quiet, yet festive with the murmur of conversations below stringed lighting. Service is perfect.“

“It was such a lovely venture out for my Mom’s birthday, on Friday. Alex and Dominique (management) are quite lovely, and helped make our dining experience all the more, a joy! Love the new additions to the menu, particularly the Mini Steak French Dips. The Chicken Parmesan was excellent with the twist of those ‘pepper-like sweet’ tomatoes. If there is ever something you want to bring back to the menu I would highly suggest the sliders, they were missed for sure lol! Looking forward to dining again here, soon. Cheers! ✨💖🥂“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“Exellent !!!!!!! Good service !!!!“

“The fried chicken was amazing and fresh. The breading as well was perfect and was not to think nor thin and cooked to perfection. The customer service as well was impeccable, all of the workers as well as the owners caters to your needs and makes sure that your enjoying the place. Hands down one of the best fried chicken as well as the customer service I’ve ever had“

“Food and service were both extraordinary!!“

“As a New Yorker, my standards for breakfast & brunch are high. I’m so glad I came here! There’s a freshness about the atmosphere and the food selection is unique and tasty.
I got the curry with bokchoi and we had fried for the table.
They had matcha, which went perfectly with the creamy-with-a-kick meal. 🥰I wish I had 2 stomachs so I didn’t have to leave a bite uneaten, but I could only get through have of this lovely meal.
Absolutely will be revisiting when I’m back in the West Coast.🫶🏾“

“We were exploring Main Street and got hungry. Sat in the back patio which was covered but still had air flowing so it wasn’t hot and stuffy. We ordered mozzarella sticks, fish taco, taco plate and the chicken sandwich. Portions were massive! Ordered a cocktail and beer too. We were so full that we had to take a siesta after our meal. Oh, they’re also dog friendly.“

“As most of old Hollywood fades away silently, this one is going out with a bang! please consider stopping by, and stepping back into the days of Frank, Dino, and the rest of the Rat Pack..... you won't be disappointed.... if you can't stay, take home a fabulous TV dinner, from the menu.... again, it's not to be missed.... but don't wait too long, sadly it won't last forever, and another treasure will only be matchbooks and memories😞“

“Indonesian fusion!! So good!“

“I came here for a brunch. The food is okay, but the prices are too high for the neighborhood. I ordered the shareable mimosas, which came in an un-rinsed carafe (think dust and bugs). Thankfully, the manager comped them, but I was still charged for the drinks that replaced them.

Ultimately, I paid $70 for 3 mimosas and a salad. Okay, fine, but when I tried to pay, the tip options were only 3, 5, and 7%. When I questioned the waitress about this, she admitted they'd already charged me an automatic 20% gratuity, and those were additional tipping options.

It's still a beautiful restaurant with pretty good food, but for not being very busy on a Saturday afternoon, the service could have been a lot better.“

“excellent service. very rich“

“A very good discovery. Bang Bang Noodles is a bang and lots of other options. The bar upstairs is 👌🏼 too“

“Craig’s is our go to place to dine and celebrate all important occasions. It is truly our home away from home close to where we reside. Craig and his team are like family. The food and service are excellent and always consistent. This is definitely an incredible place for people watching as well. Thank you Craig for always warmly welcoming us.“

“Muy buen trabajador los a tendió muy bien“

“First visit. We came for after dinner drinks. The arched ceiling and mood lighting are a great aesthetic. But with so many hard surfaces amplifies sound. It was pretty loud inside, so we chose an outside table. The staff were super helpful in explaining their stock and choices. Our cocktails were ok. My friend ordered a double Jack and coke. When the bill came I saw his drink cost $24! Our fancy cocktails were $14-$18. $24 for two shots of Jack Daniels and coke was disappointing. I didn't raise the issue. It seems like a quality restaurant but it would be best to ask prices on their drinks before ordering. Check out my profile for more great eateries and craft cocktail bars. ✌?“

“😃very clean place to visit“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“Tar & Roses is always a good experience. Great menu options and great service. My favorites are the oxtail dumplings, ribs and the whole fried snapper. Their cauliflower is maybe the best vegetable side I've ever eaten. Look forward to my next visit.“

“Had the best tortilla soup ever! And Chef Steven Lutz circulating through the restaurant to say hi and assure everyone having great food and service was a treat. Don’t miss the baked goods like banana cream pie. Amazing! Very pleased and will be back again!“

“North End Cafe is hands down my favorite breakfast and coffee spot in Manhattan Beach! This place has it all—from its prime location to the specialty coffees, incredible food, warm service, and chill vibe. Every time I come here, I leave happier.

Nacho, the best server on the planet, is a huge reason I love this place so much. He goes above and beyond with his friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring service. His positive attitude brightens your morning and really sets the tone for the day. If only the world had more people like him!

Must-try items? The Medici coffee is unique around here and so worth it (recommend asking it to be slightly less sweet), and the breakfast potatoes are an absolute dream. Love, love, love this gem of a cafe!“

“Good food, nice vibe, cool crowd. Very friendly and attentive service for Brunch on a very rainy day.“

“Great service @ amazing food!“

“Great owner,staff,food,locations! Conscientious of patrons allergies, and very safe for celiac's“

“Excellent service and enjoyed the St. Patrick’s Day Menu! Thank you for a great experience.“

“We stopped and ordered 4 breakfast burritos, 2 tater tots, and 1 lemonade. There was a wait but that is no problem as you can tell it is cooked to order. We got our order hot and fresh, it was easily one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had. The lemonade was also fantastic and homemade.“

“We went with my friend who has raved about this place since arriving in the area and let me tell you it did not disappoint! Ordered the seafood tamales and sweet potato quesadillas (pictured) The service was great, the staff was very friendly and attentive, and the owners were friendly and attentive to their customers. Highly recommended!“

“Great food and even better service.“

“Amazingly delicious food <3“

“We had excellent food and service from Kenni!“

“Great place to network! Perfect local Go to place after work or meet new business links and more.“

“I came across Playa Provisions when in town for business. It was a short Uber from the airport, so I figured I'd give it a try. This place is an absolute gem! It is a unique setup that has everything you'd possibly need from morning until late at night: Cafe in the front for coffee and fresh baked good, as well as full breakfast menu. Later in the heat of the afternoon, take a break from the beach (right across the street) and enjoy hand scooped specialty ice cream cones and shakes. Oh look, it's dinner time... and Playa Provisions opens their dining room and bar, some of the best, most relaxed ambience you'll find for miles around. But don't let the casual setting fool you, this is some incredible, elevated cuisine. Chef owners Nick and Brooke (who you might recognize) crafted a menu that's I've been eating my way through, and have yet to find a dish that's not delicious. You've been eating and drinking all day, and are exhausted? Don't leave yet! Wander into the back 'secret' whiskey bar, (Grain Whiskey Bar) and enjoy hand crafted cocktails from award winning bartenders (no, literally), in a gorgeous wood laden atmosphere. I consider myself a foodie, and try as many different restaurants and cuisines as I can. And yet, Playa Provisions remains my favorite restaurant in LA (and that's saying something, considering the amazing places in LA). Run, don't walk, to Playa Provisions. You'll thank me.“

“Great food, Great outside patio. Counter service is good, once you get your food though best not expect anything else in terms of service. We asked for the heater to be turned on and some ketchup...still waiting. This has been my experience pretty much everytime.“

“Great food and fabulous cocktails“
