“We had excellent food and service from Kenni!“

“We found Astro Pub randomly while looking for a new brunch spot. The ambiance is clean and vibrant with a energetic color decor .The service, was top notch! Bobby was our bartender and server! This man knows what he's doing and made great food suggestions and concocted best hot toddy that my girlfriend has every had in her entire life.If you are looking to have a perfect dining experience look no further Astro Pub will deliver.“

“Food is always excellent here. Taste amazing, high quality ingredients, beautiful presentation. One thing about this experience is that when the staff was closing up.. I don't know if they turned off the AC or closed the doors but it got really HOT. And it kind of made me feel like they did it on purpose so that people can leave. I declined dessert, which is my fave, only because it was so friggin hot. But otherwise, dinner was great.“

“The tasting menu is full of unique seafood dishes, and the portions are generous.“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“Warm, hands on and personalized service. A Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant…Food Made from Scratch, fresh, unique, different, and affordable. Highly recommended! The red onion focaccia bread with herb and Parmesan butter, added Burrata - best- seller, a must. The 3 day brined smoked fried chicken-different taste, with soy and Chiles, a must!!!The Peruvian pork belly with sweet potato , Criolla and crispy quinoa , love it! And the Grilled NY steak with green garlic chimichurri, chorizo aioli and pommes pont neuf, thick cut fries…my son prefers over the fried chicken.“

“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“

“thoroughly enjoyed this place!!“

“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!“

“Great white is an amazing place. I’ve been there for dinner and lunch. The breakfast burrito is my favorite in all of LA but the dinner experience, the atmosphere is very fun it’s the perfect spot for casual family friendly dinner where the food is amazing The burger was delicious and so are the fish tacos. finally, the banana bread for dessert was so tasty.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Celebrated my birthday in their private dining room, which was closed off from the rest of the restaurant, making it feel intimate and perfect for the occasion. The service was exceptional, and every dish was delicious. I'd love to come back to experience the main dining room—the decor and ambiance look just as impressive.“

“Good quality food. Healthy options. Great service. My favorite is the braised beef and mushroom with mashed potatoes. The mango tart is amazing.“

“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.“

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

“Really good food but not spectacular. Wonderful ambiance and our server was fantastic. Parking lot underground is very convenient. Prices were not exorbitant. But at the end of the day, I didn't really eat anything that would make me go back“

“I love this place! They have the best “French dip” ever.“

“The food is absolutely brilliant, the parking is okay, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is great“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“The food at Lunetta is always reliable and nicely prepared....tasty, too! The service is also very nice. The interior of the restaurant is worn and dated and could definitely use a refresh. Also, the noise level was way up which poses a problem if you can't shout over other people at other tables in order to be heard by your people at your table. If you are hearing challenged, the noise problem is even more challenging. To be fair, this noise issue, unfortunately, seems to be pervasive at most Los Angeles restaurants.“

“Such an enchanting restaurant. I went there for the second time taking my girlfriends . It was such a hit and WE all had an amazing time . The food, service and atmosphere all are superb . We all got together after a long time and the relaxed atmosphere gave us the opportunity to catch up and enjoy the food and the drinks !!!“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“good place and highly recommend.“

“As always, the food was amazing. Every dish was good. Highly recommend the Crostini, Parker house rolls, and octopus for appetizers. Salmon was cooked perfectly, the scallops and pesto pasta light and bright, the bolognese pasta tasty and not to heavy, and the sea bass was melt in your mouth. My all time favorite is the chili and lime avocado salad. Service not only from our server, but all the other workers, including the hostess that seated us were all incredible,“

“Great food and service (Amanda did a great job), I love their double r 20 oz cowboy’s rib eye and I like the ambiance it is very cozy.“

“Food is a 4 star but the atmosphere and service were 5 stars. Group of us ordered most of the menu and everything was good but not great. Everything just lacked that punch of flavor but the standouts were the bruschetta and the ribeye with chimichurri were my favorites.“

“The chef's restaurant is upscale but cozy, with only 5 tables, all across from the open air kitchen. The chef and waiter collaborate to serve you each dish, telling you the ingredients that go into each dish... like little stories. Such a special experience!“

“Delicious food, eclectic menu, reasonable prices, friendly waiters, bar, nice ambiance.“

“For starters our server, Evan was an absolute pleasure to spend the evening with. The wine selection was really awesome. Our drinks were good and our food was even better. I had the love letters. He had the spicy pizza he started with the carpaccio and ended with a tiramisu and lemon cello. I highly recommend this place. It really was a wonderful evening and we know good food.“

“Food is great and staff is so friendly and helpful. It’s right on the beach, perfect for enjoying the outside.“

“The food and environment!“

“Exquisite creative brunch!“

“It was fabulous. We had a lovely table overlooking the beautiful courtyard and pool. Our server, Kitty, was wonderful in every way. We started with a margarita pizza for the table, which was hot and delicious.Then I had the meatballs as an appetizer and they were SO GOOD! I had the pasta pomodoro, and it was delicious. You could tell the noodles were fresh and made in-house. My husband had the scallops and gave them a 10/10. Out friends had the burrata, short ribs and salmon, and had zero complaints. They both were very well pleased. We had the Apple galette and the pineapple cake and both were decadent and worth the calories. All in all, a wonderful evening!“
