“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️“

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.“

“Definitely worth visiting. The signature ramen is so creamy, mochi noodles are great texture & wagyu mixed nigiri so so worth the price. Wagyu was so buttery & smoky. Uni & ikura are so sweet. So happy now that tummy is full. Will definitely be back to check out other dishes.“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“I keep going back to this place, and usually try something new. Every single dish is delicious. This place is owned and run by people who love to eat fresh, nutritious, delicious food. And it shows. 100% recommend“

“**A sweet slice of heaven in Santa Monica!** Junior Cookies is an absolute *gem*. I came in for the cookies (which are AMAZING – warm, gooey, and perfectly crisp on the edges), but I stayed for the whole vibe. Their ice cream is ultra creamy with rich, dreamy flavors that pair perfectly with the cookies—highly recommend making your own cookie cream with ice cream with cookies! I was also pleasantly surprised by how good their coffee is. It’s bold, smooth, and just what I needed to balance out the sugar rush. Honestly, it’s rare to find a cookie shop where the coffee actually stands out, but Junior Cookies gets it right. Best coffee, best cookies, best matcha, and best ice cream in la! The place is super cute inside, with a cozy neighborhood feel and friendly staff who seem genuinely happy to be there. You can tell everything is made with love. The cookies and recipes are unique. 5 star bakery in LA. If you're in Santa Monica, **don’t miss this spot**. Whether you’re craving dessert, a caffeine fix, or just want to treat yourself, Junior Cookies delivers!“

“Tonight we, my husband and I, with our dear friends, the Crays, dined at Tomat for the first of what will be many times. The restaurant features a dining room and a roof top patio. A welcoming, comfortable space. The staff were all friendly and very knowledgeable about all menu items. Our server Miley took excellent care of us throughout dinner and dessert. She assisted us with choosing items that would pair well with each other. She was never too busy to stop to see if everything was to our liking. She brought the chef to our table so we could let him know personally how much we enjoyed his creations. He gave us a bit of background on his plan of sustainability and creativity for his restaurant. The food was amazing. We had several appetizers. The tuna carpaccio was amazing, light and dark tuna with the freshest tomatoes. The welsh rarebit was so delicious. The weiser melon with strawberry kimchi was a delicious surprise. The house milled saffron rice was amazing. Our mains did not disappoint. The trout and chips were excellent. Everyone at the table said “best trout we have ever had”. The vegetable chips were outstanding. The vaca vieja ribeye was perfectly cooked. The pork three ways with chamoy was also perfectly cooked. Dessert was madelines, warm from the oven, with the strawberry sorbet and the saffron ice cream. All were outstanding. Overall, this was a fabulous dining experience. Great food with great service in such a comfortable atmosphere. And, we have already made reservations for next month!“

“The place is very trendy and the food is vey delicious. There were 9 of us and we were able to taste many of the menu items. The food was consistently tasty and good. The lavashak and lavashak smoothie were 10 out of 10. Also the server was very friendly. We will definitely come back.“

“Fabulous staff here with very affordable prices on food AND drinks! The new happy hour now starts at 2pm EVERY DAY till 8pm!!!! Love the upgrade draft beer options to a boom sh size for only $3 more!!!! Great new local neighborhood bar. Fantastic games room with something for everyone.“

“m/ Really good spicy awesome noodles 🍜“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED“

“The food and ambience & wine selection was excellent! We will be back!“

“Had a lunch outting with my team & the pizza lunch special was a hit! 2 slices of pizza with a drink, under $14. I traded my special for a salad & glass of pinot, GREAT place for a beer, glass of wine, or just a good time! I had the chopped Italian salad, delish!“

“Stopped by for dinner to check out the place. We are having an event there in a few weeks. AWESOME EXPERIENCE. Food was wonderful, service was perfect, management went out of their way to be gracious and welcoming. Can't wait to return in a few weeks.“

“Great food first time being there!“

“Amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious and the steak was perfect! Noah was exceptional, attentive, friendly and provided amazing service from beginning to end. He truly made our dining experience even more enjoyable. We will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Delicious, a wonderful experience and loved the waitress!“

“Best restaurant I've been to ever that understands and caters to Celiac, but is so good you can actually bring people who are not gluten-free and they would never know they were eating gluten-free. I was in LA for a week and ate there 3 nights. I would have gone more but they're closed on Monday and Tuesdays. The fried zucchini squash blossoms should definitely be ordered and enjoyed❣️ DPK from Plymouth, MA“

“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“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.“

“Bacari Sherman Oaks was the most incredible dining experience I have had in a very long time. It was more than just great food. The staff at Sherman Oaks created a complete experience with ambiance, fantastic service, and creative dishes to choose from.

The ambiance is energetic yet relaxed, and the Mediterranean-inspired small plates are incredibly creative and fun to share. Every dish we tried was outstanding. Our server, I believe her name was Mallery, was absolutely fantastic. Her warmth, enthusiasm, and attention to detail elevated an already amazing meal into something truly special.

Congratulations to the Bacari team for building something so unique. Bacari delivers an experience well beyond great food. I will enthusiastically recommend Bacari to everyone I know who visits Los Angeles, and I'll definitely be back when I'm in town.

Wishing the entire Bacari family continued success!“

“I can’t say enough about this place I’m in love. Josue the manager was very attentive and customer service orientation is by far the best I’ve experienced. I can’t wait to bring my family back and enjoy more of this delicious healthy and organic bread and delicious meals. The team is very beautifully humble and welcoming. I wish this was the norm. Thank you to the team and Josue we will be back and recommending everyone here .“

“High quality food, tastes like the homemade wholesome Ukrainian food back in Ukraine. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. 😀“

“Maxine's was wonderful! It was like going to your neighborhood breakfast place and enjoying a perfect Morning Breakfast. We sat up to the counter on wonderful big chairs, so great! Staff was engaging and helpful and took just wonderful care of us.
I highly recommend that you go and visit Maxine's for breakfast you will not be disappointed whatsoever.“

“We had excellent food and service from Kenni!“

“We catered a Christmas dinner for 8 with Il Moro and all the food was delicious! We especially loved the melt-in-your-mouth short ribs, divine vegetables and pasta with olives dishes. We will definitely be back!“

“Truly authentic Greek. Portions generous. Price surprisingly reasonable. Feels like a real honest place.
Shd book in advance. They looked real busy the Sunday we went for lunch. Still, the service was good, our Peruvian host Kiara never missed a beat, or gentle smile.
Sunday is our preferred day to come when we are missing Greek cuisine, vis there’s the Mar Vista farmers market to enjoy too just 60 yards across road.“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“

“East Coast native, drove 30 minutes for the best pizza I've had on the West Coast. Sourdough crust?... peaches?... goat cheese and a whole lot more. The other half was something else they recommended... doesn't matter, it was fluffy, delicious and got SPANKED too. Even though they only served pork meat, I still give them a 10/10“

“Their spicy beef and leek soup was really not that good. That beef was super tough and the soup was incredibly spicy even after I’ve asked the man in the back for it to be little spicy as possible. Their other soup won gi tang was amazing, packed with plenty of beef and it wasn’t too salty. Their big soup plate won gi soo yook was really great too! The two servers in the front were super nice and the welcoming. Very nice atmosphere and we got seated right away and served with water.“

“Solid brunch menu (I had the oysters and the Eggs Benedict with a Brut Rose Champagne and the trifle for dessert). My server Corbin was very friendly and attentive. The outdoor space is cool, trendy, and hip, but not over-the-top. The music pulses, but it’s not a distraction to conversation. I’ve been looking for good places since moving to LA almost 6 months ago. This was one of the few times I wasn’t disappointed.“

“I had an incredible meal here recently. The ramen was absolutely fantastic and hit the spot perfectly.

I was especially impressed by the bowl topped with fresh cilantro and a bright lime wedge. The broth had such a deep, rich flavor that kept me coming back for more. Everything was served in beautiful, unique bowls that made the experience feel special.

I cannot wait to come back for another round. It is easily one of my favorite spots on Ventura Boulevard.“

“Came for the Father’s Day brunch with husband and kids. We sat outside on the patio overlooking the marina. Very calming ambience. I was pleased to see there was a kids’ menu even though the restaurant has more of an adult vibe. We ordered the sushi flight, Caesar salad, taco trio, and Caesar mushroom wrap. The kids got guacamole, cheeseburgers, lemonade, and a big cookie. All the food was excellent and generous portions. I was expecting very small portions so we ordered way too much food and will have leftovers for dinner. I wish I had taken pictures cause it was all so pretty! We will be definitely go back again.

“Always a great experience and meal at Orto, strongly recommended!“

“Malama polo restaurant is best�Highly recommend for all.“

“I LOVE Momosouls. The dumplings (momo) are so tasty and with all the different varieties of sauces and styles, I’ll never get bored! I live in the neighborhood and have been coming since after you all opened, it’s so awesome to see how busy you now are!“

“Absolutely brilliant place. Fantastic staff (Katy) who is lovely. Brilliant atmosphere and well worth visiting for a drink when in Venice“

“Amazing food not too far from the beach with absolutely awesome customer service! The #Vegan plates and chips and salsa cannot be beat anywhere close. The ambiance is casual and cool! LOVE this place!❤“

“Healty Food and good sevice“

“Wonderful place Great drinks and food“

“I took my husband for Father’s Day brunch/lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant here in the Palisades and as always it did not disappoint. It never does. He loved his steak and eggs, steak was Devine and I loved my chick pea soup. Always have the panne cotta and the cherry gelato and an espresso in their delightful patio and you’ve been to Italy!“

“Danny Boys pizza is top tier. The toppings are fresh, the crust is crispy and the salads are delicious. We split a few slices including the meatball ricotta and the vodka sauce special which was excellent. We also split the chopped italian salad which was super fresh and had a great variety of toppings.

This spot is also great for families. The gent working the counter was so friendly. He put in notes to not.
make my toddlers pizza too hit, have it cut in half and gave us crayons and a coloring book. So good, always a great choice when in Westwood Village!“
