“Surprise, surprise the best Tuscan sandwich in town. Their Schiacciata is superior to Antico Vinaio's and the sandwich ingredient combinations are more balanced than Tre-Mani. The Monday-Tuesday all day pasta is another great option.“
“LA MUST GO! Everything we ordered from the scallops to the jamon and the mushrooms were delicious. And the spicy calabrese pizza was SOO good. The presentation of the food was also a treat. The service was great, the ambiance was cozy and quaint, and the owner was as generous and kind as could be. We had an exceptional experience and will be returning soon.“
“Bodega has best of both worlds! You can grab a coffee and get some work done or you can grab a glass of wine and catch up with friends. I love coming here for both! Also their pizza is the best pizza in LA in my opinion ! At 5pm everyone puts their laptops away and it turns into an actual wine bar! LOVE IT ! Service is great! Ambiance is so cool! Lots of natural light which gives it a coffee shop feel! There's tall tables, a long bar and also couches to sit. They also have an outside patio for those warm sunny days !“
“It seems like there is a scarcity of wine bars in L.A., in general. Thus, we were thrilled to unexpectedly find Offhand. The vibe is relaxed and unpretentious, and the service was friendly. We enjoyed our wine and beer choices while sitting in the chill outdoor seating area. We only wish they had more vegetarian options on the menu. We didn't order food because of that reason. We would also be interested in trying wine flights. Great place, and we want to come back for their coffee.“
“Took 2 friends there to celebrate a birthday. Food and service were very good. Noise level was WAY too high. We were in a small room in the rear with just 3 tables: ours, one with two men and an empty table. The two men were talking so loud that we couldn't hear each other at our own table. We commented to our server (who kind of shrugged) and then finally one of the women at our table calmly, politely told the men she was enjoying their conversation but couldn't hear the conversation at our own table. They chuckled ("are we talking too loud?") and then proceeded to continue their conversation. It was so uncomfortable that the woman celebrating her birthday said although she liked the food she'd never return to the restaurant. The men had finished their meal about halfway through our meal and we were anxiously waiting for them to leave, but they didn't. Definitely left a bad taste in our mouths. I think the server, or host, could have helped to have them turn down the volume.“
“This is one of our favorites. Incredible service with no pretention and the food is exquisite. Grab a spot at the bar on a Saturday at 6:30pm and enjoy great cocktails, one of the best wines by the glass menus and just the best food. No scene, no nonsense. Just a great dining experience. Don't bring your “
“Thanks you Daniel and the staff for an amazing experience. I don’t share this lightly after many disappointing donning experiences in LA. Everything was excellent both food and service. We had the meat and cheese charcuterie board where everything was superb. Their specialty cocktail, the Fizz’d Out, was one of the best we have ever had and their wine list was not only impressive but was reasonably priced. The chicken confit was exceptional and the apple tart was the perfect ending to an amazing meal. Dont sleep on the vegetable sides too. Thank you! We will be back.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian sides“
“Absolutely a neighborhood favorite for Samo subs. Amazing ambiance, warm staff, and an impressive variety of dietary-friendly options on the menu. Highly recommended dishes include grilled octopus, mussels, chopped salad, tuna tartare, short ribs, bucatini, chicken under a brick, and grilled carrots. Despite its size, the restaurant offers ample space for lengthy conversations and boasts an excellent selection of wines.“
“I love the concept of this restaurant and the service was spot on great! We sampled several dishes from the menu and I can highly recommend the yummy ribs, the swiss chard, and the asparagus was super (done with a tangerine sauce that was amazing)! The deviled egg was delightful as well as the tomato puree on toasts, a nice palette cleanser...And the goat milk flan was a desert winner!! I will say a few dishes just weren't up to par - the skewered calamari was underwhelming, not well spiced and rather bland, and the garling shrimp was overwhelming with too much garlic (and we were all garlic lovers). I was glad we asked for a quiet table, tucked up in the corner of the upstairs area (we had a double birthday dinner), because the noise level in general was very high. I recommend seating up on the balcony if possible. All in all, however, it was a great experience and we'll certainly go back and sample some more dishes from this neighborhood gem.“
“A California Style Mediterranean Restaurant, the menu ingredients fuse Mediterranean Cuisine with Asian Cuisine. Happy Hour is the best time to go 50% off. My favorite dishes are the Southeast Asian inspired Beef Tartar with Tapioca Waffer, similar texture as a Chinese Shrimp Chip. The Branzino is the best entrée, Roasted crispy skin. Every few minutes you'll see Flaming Saganaki Served at a neighboring tables.“
“This is a nice place to see a magic show or just to drink and hang out. It was my first time here, but I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere is nice and cozy. The theater and show I saw the other night was phenomenal, and I recommend you come here if you love magic and bars. You will not regret it.“
“I have shopped for wine all over the west side and this is by far the best shop. Sammy is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and generous with his time in helping you select wines and the wine is very competitively priced. I have shopped here 10x and would not buy wine anywhere else.“
“I really like this place and I'd never been here before until just a few days ago. I really loved their Fleetwood Mac N' Cheese! I don't drink but I like hanging out in the atmosphere and drinking a soda pop or something lol. I highly recommend this place. :)“
“Our server, Ramon, provided exceptional service. He presented the menu thoroughly and offered top-notch recommendations. We had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant last year and Ramon was our server then too. He gave us the same excellent service as he did today. As avid travelers, we value excellent customer service and Ramon epitomizes that. He is polite and professional, and a great asset to the team. The food was delicious, as expected, and arrived promptly, served piping hot. Thank you, Ramon, for the exceptional service. We are honored to be Hilton Diamond members and thoroughly pleased with the service we received. I forgot to take photos of our food.“
“Above and beyond my expectations. It was all in the details. Beautiful atmosphere that felt local and quaint. Service was friendly and cared deeply about their customers. Food was extremely fresh, perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. We'll be back over and over again.Dietary restrictions: Great gluten free options. The gluten free waffle and banana bread were worth the trip!“
“Menu variety was excellent-something for everyone. The meatballs and Pasta with burrata was delicious as was the innovative fresh corn salad. Our friends loved their fish tacos. We were seated at the table that I had requested!! Can't wait to return.“
“I was contemplating where to position this restaurant on my lists, well, the food is good and very well presented, but I wouldn’t say it’s the best, besides the lobster Mac and cheese, that one is of the charts, I can’t deny.The hamachi crudo and yellowfin tartare were fresh, but the sauce on the yellowfin did not keep up with the dish.We ordered the lobster, that I would give it a 5, it’s the house specialty.The black chitarra pasta was good, but needed something in the sauce.Overall, it’s good food, but preserving those exquisite places, I am happy with the review I just did.If you’d like a nice sunset view, go for a table near the window.“
“The restaurant needs to buy one can of WD-40 to fix their squeaky front door. Had to wait 20 minutes outside the front door waiting for our table (which was not a big deal) but for the incredibly squeaky front door which opens repeatedly. Everyone waiting for their table was getting a headache. Food was great. I won't return until I know that door is fixed.“
