“My husband & I stopped by this place for dinner. We got the avocado egg rolls, finney burger, smash burger, and sweet potato fries. My favorite thing was the sweet potato fries! Our server, Toby , was super attentive and kind. He made us feel very welcome and it was our very first time in the area so that was nice. He brought refills of our drinks before we even asked - something you rarely experience. Good food & great service. Highly recommend!“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE!! The food is awesome and the service exceptional. I came in on a Tuesday, JUST for the Chicken and Waffles not knowing it’s a weekend item. They went above and beyond to make a special order for me. It was worth the wait. Also they make a special drink I came up with only at this bar. “The PhoenixSunrise Hot Toddy” its Makers Mark whiskey, hot water, lemon, lots of honey and a shot of Angry Orchard Hard Cider **brings out all the flavors! Ask for one next time you go and tell em PhoenixSunrise sent you! 🤗👌🏾“

“Excellent brunch food and drinks, lovely atmosphere. Chilaquiles, shakshouka and pain au chocolat were delicious. Cannot wait to go back to the patio for dinner!“

“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.“

“Awesome service and the food is amazing 😻“

“TLDR: good food, okay service.

I'll start with the good 😊 My husband and I have come here quite a bit throughout the years and have attended a handful of the special events they've put together. They had a rum event where they paired dishes with a variety of rum tastings. It was a great date night and nights like that will keep us coming back. I also remember a delicious to-go Valentine's box during covid that was so thoughtful and delicious. We have enjoyed tasting every dish we've been able to try.

A couple of our favorites have been the smoked trout on ciabatta and the ricotta gnudi. The smoked trout is a hearty bite but somehow light at the same time haha. It's craveable. We like it as a starter or if we're still feeling hungry after a few other dishes. The ricotta gnudi however, is sooo rich and satisfying after a few bites, making it a very decadent and shareable plate. It's probably too much for only two people but we still eat all five pieces and only feel a little guilty after. I give 5 out of 5 stars for the food here.

With that being said, we recently went to try Antonia's winning dishes from ToC. We ordered both dishes and felt like they were probably better when Antonia made them haha. The sausage didn't have a great texture and both dishes needed salt but overall, they weren't bad and I'm happy we tried them.

I think they fall a little short in customer service and possibly staffing. We have had a couple of good interactions but on the norm, it seems like they are understaffed in areas. This is the reason I'm giving 4 stars vs 5. Well, that and because we'll often book a reservation online but when we show up, we have unfortunately been seated at the worst tables. It's usually the smallest table they have and in a very noisy location. Maybe we have had bad luck. Maybe it's because we're two small people without a dog, so they think we'll be happy crammed into the smallest spot they have?

This last visit, we were lead to an indoor table that was sandwiched between two large groups. On one side, the table was about an inch away from someone's back. On the other side, there was a group of about 12 girls having a bachelorette party and scream laughing. We just knew it would be hard to have a conversation there, so we asked about seating outside. They accommodated us by seating us at maybe the next worst table haha. It was just outside the front door but we knew it would be 100% better than where we were. We appreciate them moving us 🙏

I guess the point to that story is, be vocal on where you want to sit. Also, your chances of getting a good table seems to increase if you bring your dog haha, which is unfortunate.

Oh! And as far as parking goes, it's a little hard to find a spot but they offer valet. The area around the restaurant is super cute if you want to walk around a bit before or after your meal. I recommend checking out Color Me Mine just down the street for a nice date night.“

“I absolutely love Charlie & Friends! I brought my mum here during her visit from the UK, and she adored it too. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by delicious food and friendly staff who made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and genuinely friendly, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. We chose to eat outside on the lovely patio, which is spacious and relaxing. The location adds to its charm, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. We left feeling happy and satisfied, and can't wait to return 🥰“

“Terrible place duchie not mad“

“Great tasting food! Highly recommended.“

“the salads are delicious. the food is very good“

“One of my absolute favorites from home. The best staff ever, amazing food and more. My final meal before moving to Texas was here shared with great friends and family. Flying back next month for the first time since I moved a year ago and ALREADY a meal or two here has been in the group text!“

“I love Avocado Toast ❤️ I’ll be back“

“Great atmosphere and the food was great!“

“The bar at the Valley Inn is perhaps one of the best kept secrets in LA. Yes, it’s tiny but get there early, secure your seat and you’re in for a ride of the greatest cocktails served up by a ladies and gentlemen’s gentleman - the maker with the shaker, Bill. Seriously, make a friend of this guy and then introduce him and the bar to your favorite people - only your favorite people! The food in the restaurant is great but a tad expensive but the bar will become your new happy place. Bravo“

“Max is the man!! Ty for the great service!!“

“I really enjoy urbane Cafe for the fact that they have plenty of options for a family like mine where there's meat eaters and plant-based preferences. I would also like to recognize one of the employees Nicole who went above and beyond for us! Great service is a lost art and Nicole really made our day.“

“I've been going there forever, meaning I've lived forever.
Bombed terribly in two classes. The female comedians I think were spying and found me in the audience wks later, which I will never forget. Neither will I forget the wonderful comedians who've noticed me. And the guy with the best joke who said it was probably the ONLY joke in his act I'd laughed at. By then I was almost on the floor. These guys are great!!!“

“The blackberry crunch toast was amazing. Great service, friendly staff & nice location.“

“Great Ceasar salad and pork chop“

“I was recommended to Nati’s by a friend. The menu is diverse & serves every craving you have when hungry! I just love Mexican food & these cooks have a gift! There’s a nice mix of Oaxaca & Jalisco in the food! The Nopales breakfast & salsas are excellent! Must try! Definitely coming back for more!!!“

“Always a wonderful culinary adventure as well as good wines and craft cocktails! The bar staff can be quite creative and always friendly. Plus, the atmosphere is fresh and hip- Industrial yet cozy.“

“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.“

“Stopped by to try out your beers. Absolutely the best beers I’ve had in a while. Your Oatmeal Cookie Brown Ale knocked my socks off and if it wasn’t for me needing to drive home I would have stayed all day long. By the way that barrel aged version is heaven in a glass. Keep up the world class brewing.“

“I have accidentally stumbled upon this awesome place. Let first say this, the staff is fantastic, very welcoming, friendly, outgoing, fun, and very knowledgeable about their menu. The food is amazing. I had their new Sweet Chili Crunch Chicken Sandwich. It was delicious beyond words. I definitely recommend this place. Overall 10/10. Definitely coming back here.“

“the food is great but I think the people make the place!!!!“

“This place was awesome. Unique with chill vibes and great hot dog/sausage options. Hawaiian rolls definitely added great flavor and elevated the hot dogs. Will totally come back!“

“Great with DJ music at Patio“

“Try the carrots! You’ll thank me later!“

“pancakes, waffles, french toast!! Oh my!!“

“Beautiful setting, fantastic service, and food was incredible! Highly recommend.“

“We did not try the food, but the place looked clean and I would eat here. The bartender was fun and attentive. The DJ was having a great time and spinning a great mix of 80's, 90's and general good tunes. The clientele were nice and we had several conversations with guests. We will come back.“

“Delicious food 😋I try almost Everything on the menu and it’s all delicious, every time I go it’s so hard to choose. 🥰 Great staff and fun atmosphere. Best place to bring and make friends for lunch or dinner. Also plenty of TVs to watch sports outside or inside dining.🏀 🏈⚾️🏎 👍“

“Ever since moving to the area, this has been THE date night spot for my husband and I. It is everything we wanted in a local neighborhood bar -- a chill environment with kind staff and fun weekly activities. The music is low enough to be able to have good conversations. There is a lot of spacious seating, including large tables, couches with pillows, etc. The bar food is tasty, the walls are lined with books and games, and they have cute literary-themed cocktails. My husband and I will grab a drink and a board game and sit for hours! We've also seen people reading on the couch with a drink, which is such a vibe. The space is so well curated to be a comfortable spot for anyone -- groups, dates, or solos.

The staff are beyond friendly, and the new owner Joy is a ray of sunshine. She remembers our names when we come visit and has been so passionate about incorporating new weekly activities like taco Tuesdays, karaoke, and trivia.

Catcher in the Rye is a rare gem of a place that feels so comfortable and so familiar. Thank you Joy & all staff for the best neighborhood bar we could ask for!“

“our food was excellent as was the relaxed atmosphere“

“I'm on vacation with my kids and our hotel suggested us to try this place. The food was simply amazing and our waitress was courteous and friendly. The gentleman that welcomed us was nice as well. I will definitely come back next time.“

“Amazing Place and Customer Experience.“

“our food was excellent as was the relaxed atmosphere“

“Ordered the combination appetizer. Wow it was so big! I was expecting something smaller since you know you go to Chilis or something and its tiny. This was $20 and such a big serving. Wings were so good too. I enjoyed this meal. I couldn't finish it, so had some great left overs too.“

“First time here. I love the french toast 😋 and coffee ☕️“
