Restaurants near Shadow Hills

“I had such a wonderful breakfast here. Everything was cooked perfectly and served hot. The avocado omelet was especially delicious, and the hash browns had the ideal golden crisp to them.

The pancakes were light and fluffy, and having the syrup served on the side kept everything tidy. It is rare to find a spot that pays such close attention to the small details. I am already looking forward to my next visit.”

“Had the calamari, beef ravioli and bread pudding, it was very good.”

“One of the best meals that I have had!”

“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!”

“Phenomenal experience and the staff was excellent.”

“Lovely people and food!!!”

“We had such a wonderful time. Amazing wine & terrific food!”

“We stopped by for cocktails after dinner on a Friday night and expected more of a party vibe from their Instagram, but it was actually relaxed and laid-back.

The cocktails were excellent, especially if you like sweet and sour flavors, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for a bar from the Thunderbolt team. We only had the hot dog, but it was delicious too. The bartender was genuinely kind and made us feel welcome.

The only surprise was that it’s tucked away in a strip mall, but don’t let that stop you. Definitely a spot I’d come back to for great cocktails.”

“thank you for an amazing lunch.! Much success in the New Year.”

“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”

“En Petit Trois, la cocina habla por sí sola. Tanto la hamburguesa como el pescado destacan por una técnica precisa y una ejecución impecable, donde cada elemento está en perfecto equilibrio; dos platillos memorables, difíciles de jerarquizar. Aunque no fue posible degustar la coctelería debido a la política de requerir pasaporte físico para el servicio de alcohol, la propuesta gastronómica se sostiene con absoluta solidez. Una experiencia sobria, bien lograda y digna de repetirse.”

“Amazing food and experience, servers were helpful and friendly especially because I had NO IDEA how to do this. You get water and spices/ sauces, meats and proteins and veggies, and make your own dish. So cool and the food was just incredible.”

“Great atmosphere, food and drinks!”

“Backbone was an incredible dining experience from start to finish. I started with the tuna tartare, which was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and had an amazing balance of flavors and textures. From there, I had the corn agnolotti, which was easily one of the highlights of the night. The pasta was perfectly cooked, and the delicate, flavorful sauce complemented the sweetness of the corn beautifully.

For my main course, I had the steak and fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, incredibly tender, and packed with flavor, while the fries were crispy and seriously addictive. Everything on the plate worked perfectly together.

I finished with key lime and scoop of coconut sorbet, which was just as impressive and the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted every bit as good as it looked.

What made the experience even better were the people. Every employee I interacted with was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The chef was also incredibly nice and personable, which added such a special touch to the evening. You can tell there’s real passion behind what they’re doing, both in the kitchen and in the way they treat their guests.

The attention to detail at Backbone really stood out to me. The atmosphere was stylish and inviting, the service was exceptional, and the entire meal flowed perfectly from one course to the next.

Backbone is absolutely a restaurant I’ll be coming back to. From the tuna tartare and corn agnolotti to the steak, dessert, and amazing hospitality, the entire experience was outstanding. One of the best meals I’ve had in a while and an easy five stars. Highly recommend!”

“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.”

“What a wonderful experience! The food is fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. You can really appreciate the quality of the ingredients and the attention to tradition. The staff is kind, welcoming, and happy to explain the menu if it’s your first visit. It’s refreshing to find a place that stays true to Armenian culinary heritage while providing such excellent customer service. I will definitely be coming back!”

“Great spot for sharing a meal with others. Everything is just really well done; everything i tried was great. My favorite were probably the chicken yakitori, the freshwater eel, and the miso ramen. I would enjoy going back and trying more.”

“What a special treat. Visiting LA, and my daughter made a reservation for dinner. We did not have omakase bar seats, but had the dining room omakase. Absolutely fantastic. Service was excellent, attention to every detail. The omakase sushi dinner was maybe some of the best fish I’ve ever eaten.
I need the mention the house Martini, one of the most delicate martinis I can remember.
Good luck getting the recipe!!!
Next time we will make a reservation for the omakase at the Bar with Mori.”

“Everything was amazing from the service to the food and sushi and the environment is unassuming and comfortable. Top notch!”

“Love the aesthetic of this bar! Also it’s never too too busy which makes it nice for a date night. Also the porch is dog friendly!
Martini mondays rule!”

“This place exceeded my expectations. The food, the vibe, and the service were all flawless. Will definitely coming back here again”

“Cozy. Carnitas nachos were pretty dang good. Update: carnitas a little too salty. Cheese was a little too thick! It's enough for 3 people forsure. Unless they upsized our order? Cocktail was gross, too sugary. Chicken tenders weren't my thing either. Too much honey. Margarita was soo good”

“Simple fun, relaxed atmosphere, great little place”

“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!”

“Reasonably priced and delicious food!”
