“We had an amazing experience at the Georgian Room last night. The speakeasy style steakhouse inside the Georgian Hotel has an incredible ambiance that feels intimate and stylish, elevated even more by fantastic live music throughout the evening.

We started by sharing the Caesar salad and the blue prawns, both of which were absolutely delicious and a perfect way to kick things off. For mains, I ordered the steak frites, which was cooked perfectly and full of flavor, while my girlfriend had the smash burger; simple, classic and seriously tasty. The cocktails were also excellent and thoughtfully crafted, and they had a great wine selection as well.

The service truly stood out and was one of the best parts of the entire night. Every detail was handled with care, and we felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. Our waiter, Renee, was incredibly attentive, made great recommendations, and was genuinely kind all evening. Allen, the manager, also checked in on us and made us feel very welcome. Since we were celebrating my girlfriend’s birthday, they even surprised us with dessert, which was such a thoughtful touch.

Overall, a fantastic experience with great food, drinks, music and hospitality. I will definitely be coming back.“

“This place is absolutely epic! Best food in America we ate by a country mile!!! Brian and his chef Miguel went above and beyond for my fussy daughter , they delivered high class service and a few laughs as well. Everything we ate tasted incredible, so much in fact that we had to go 2 nights in a row. Thanks Meat On Ocean. A truely memorable experience.“

“Wonderful service and outstanding food.“

“The menu on the website had no prices. This was our first clue. And seeing the menu in print certainly validated our sleuthy intuition. \nThe food was very good and beautifully presented, no argument there. But over $200 before tip with one starter, two entrees and one dessert felt overpriced to me. Portions were sized well - they seemed small but were satisfying and we didn’t leave hungry. \nThe music was also a bit too loud, although I connected to the playlist. \nOverall a decent experience. I wouldn’t necessarily revisit, but would recommend with the cost caveat.“

“Absolutely Phenomenal! Ann and her staff were excellent. The food was perfect. The night was perfect. The restaurant is perfect. You get what you pay for and everything in life. This is well worth it.“

“Awesome Steakhouse! Everything was amazing and our server Andre was fantastic. I went for my birthday and even the birthday dessert was great. I was also looking for a place for a small dinner party so I had a chance to meet with one of the managers, Joel and he was also great. Definitely looking forward to coming back. Beautiful ambiance and tasty food!“

“We went on Valentine's Day, and it turned out to be such a lovely and memorable experience for both of us at the Brazilian steakhouse. From the start, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, and Ellie was especially kind. She checked in on us and made us feel genuinely cared for along with the hostess who was amazing. We even shared how disappointing our Valentine's Day dinner last year had been elsewhere, which made this experience feel like a complete and refreshing opposite in the best way. Everything from the service to the pacing and overall vibe was fantastic, and the food was outstanding, with the seasoned beef easily being our favorite among the delicious cuts. Overall, it was a wonderful Valentine's Day that we'll truly look back on fondly and we will definitely be back again!“

“Simply Bellisimo. Perfection.“

“Eddie V's is a place I love to go to an have events an conferee dinners. Last Night I made reservations that early morning which was yesterday 1/24/26 for 8pm. When we got there 7:45 athe concierge greeted us great and told us they are preparing our table right now. The young lady behind the counter got mad an told him no it will be at 8. So he repeated it to us and told us we could stand there or go over to the bar and have a seat and they will come get us. while at the bar service was very slow and asked for a jack an coke they had 0 bottles of jack. Next they finally came to get us at which was 8:45. This wasn't the way to start a 28 year anniversary. When every anniversary we go to Eddie's. But this time it was just so different.“

“Beautiful restaurant and bar with tasty food and great service. I’ll be back!“

“The staff was great and very friendly, but service was slow and it was very loud inside. Granted it was a Saturday night so understandable that they would be busier than maybe during the week and livelier. My salmon was excellent and my crab cake was perfect. The steaks we ordered were great and my toddler loved his French fries 🤣🤣. Very cute interior and i definitely want to come back. Parking sucks...again because it was a busy weekend night so leave early and be prepared to park on street b/c the lot fills up. Thank you for a great night overall.“

“Great food and the service was outstanding!“

“I had the warmest experience at The Arthur J, from the hostess at the front door, the wait staff and the manager. I had recently lost my husband prior to my reservation and was determined to enjoy our anniversary dinner. Not only was a the food delicious, but the overall experience was beyond memorable. Thank you…. thank you. Can’t wait until I return for his birthday.“

“Best Korean bbq in Los Angeles. 강력추천합니다.“

“Grace was our waitress and we truly are grateful for her. She provided exceptional service and brought our food and utensils promptly and with care. Grace also provided us with suggestions as it was our first time there. Given the positive experience we had, we definitely plan on going back!“

“One of those American food chains that actually hit. The lobster pasta is flavorful garlicky and full of meat. My second time getting it and both times were about the same, very consistent. Also one of the few places with Angry Orchard on tap.“

“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“

“La viande est excellente, une offre végétarienne rare (la cheffe française en est), des légumes cuisinés de façon originale Le vin très correct et le service rapide.... Toujours un problème avec les prix mais on est aux usa...“

“Tasty and feels like home“

“We came here for a coworker's birthday. They called ahead and prepared a special menu with our names on it, along with homemade cheesecake and whipped cream. We ordered the prime rib, broccoli and French onion soup. For the price, I would rate the steak 8.5/10. The service and ambiance of the restaurant was great. Highly recommended for dates, family dinners or corporate/clients.“

“Great place went on Saturday the 13th love the piano and the atmosphere. Customer service was awesome“

“Food was great rated # 1 Service well if being should I say being Shined the whole meal service Can’t they get descent help As DC“

“Ruth Chris, a restaurant I hadn't visited in years, caught my attention when my best friend raved about their three-course meal for $60. Since it was Friday, we decided to treat ourselves. We started with drinks, and I opted for the passionfruit martini, which was an absolute delight. My friend chose a lemon drop, and both of our choices were equally impressive. Our waiter, Chris, recommended the spicy shrimp in the fried calamari, and we couldn't resist trying it. The combination of crispy calamari, roasted bell peppers, and a delectable sweet sauce was simply sensational. The spicy shrimp was equally delicious, with a perfect balance of heat and flavor. We decided to indulge in the three-course special, and both of us ordered the steak and shrimp. To complement our main courses, I ordered the brussels sprouts, while my friend opted for the mashed potatoes. As a starter, we shared a Caesar salad, which was a refreshing and flavorful addition to our meal. Despite the abundance of delicious food, we found ourselves quite full. We couldn't resist the temptation to finish everything, but we ended up getting our cheesecake to go. However, we couldn't resist ordering another round of drinks before leaving.“

“What a great experience! The service was excellent, super caring and friendly. Donna S took care of us and was incredibly patient and kind. Definitely a highly recommended spot for a delicious breakfast. We were really happy with our visit.“
