“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“

“Two of us went for dinner on a Thursday night at around 7:30. It was busier inside than outside but we sat outside and it was really nice and easy to hear each other talk.
Our waitress was very, very nice, extremely helpful and had such a great attitude. In fact, the friend that I went with had lost his home in the Palisades fire so he went to the restaurant the day after and one of the waitresses said that he smelled kind of like soot. He explained how he lost his house the day before. They said to him to sit down, relax and order whatever he wanted and drink whatever he wanted and it was on them. How nice is that? That's how the people are there.
The food was really good. We shared a chicken salad and the blue Burger which came with fries. They were both really tasty and good.
We each had a cocktail and they pour their drinks in big glasses which is nice.
I would not hesitate to go back if I were looking for a casual, no-nonsense restaurant with even better service.“

“We've visited Gino's East in Sherman Oaks a handful of times, and one person who consistently stands out is Michael!

Every time we've encountered him, he's been incredibly friendly, genuine, upbeat, and knowledgeable. He brings such positive energy to the restaurant, and you can tell he genuinely enjoys interacting with customers. It's refreshing to come across someone who consistently has such a wonderful attitude.

I wanted to take a moment to recognize him because people like Michael truly make a difference in the overall experience. He's an absolute gem, and I hope management knows what a great employee they have!

Thank you, Michael, for always making our visits that much better!“

“Hidden gem in the mall!! It is located in the 3rd level of Bloomingdale's. They have really good burgers and fries ! I tend to usually get the half salad/half soup/half sandwich option (you get to pick 2 out of the 3). Their service is normally amazing unless they are understaffed at the moment and they happen to get busy during that time. Must try their frozen yogurt at least once, i recommend the plain tart, with raspberry sauce and almonds.“
