“Most excellent experience and food was perfect. We had the duck eggrolls and the ricotta stuffed squash blossoms as starters, both had a delish specialty drink. I had the house burger with 3 different meats ground in including wagyu. Was done perfectly med rare. No room for dessert this time. Will def go back. Service was nice, we sat at the bar. All in all a great experience.“
“One of the most delicious burger and fries I have had in a long time and thankfully, not overpriced like everywhere else. The food was not only very good, but the people that work there and the service was incredible. It was nice to be among people that were so kind in this day and age.“
“My wife and I came by here for a family get together and had a blast. The food was absolutely delicious. We love sides and had the Mac & cheese, collard greens and my favorite, the black eyed peas and rice aka The Rolling Johns. The owners really make the place special, and we were fortunate enough to have a quick conversation with one of the owners Chef. You can feel the love in the food and the building. Hands down the best soul food I’ve had in Los Angeles.“

“MY FAVORITE LA BAR!!! My review is loooong overdue as I've been coming here for years. I've moved further South on Ventura but I still manage to come to what I feel is my home in bar form. I'm a woman who loves mixology and good bartending and most bars are extremely male centric. TLP is great for women and men. It wouldn't surprise me that many women love this bar. You will hear everyone mention "the feel" of the bar and it's because they seem to consistently hire AMAZING BAR AND WAIT STAFF. Kudos to management for keeping such excellent consistency. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME..I come to the bar I sit at the bar and get an INCREDIBLE convo from the bartenders. They always serve me the most fantastic drinks and make me feel like a FUGGIN QUEEN. I love them so much for this. They manage people well and that's hard to come by. Even if I've had a bad day they seem to always say the thing that lifts my spirits -- it's wild. Therapy in a bar almost. lol Keep up the good work guys! See you again soon.“
“Loved the delicious cheeseburger, hot crispy sandwich, and calamari. Can't go wrong with these! The service was so so. It took 2 servers to make us happy if that tells you something... refilling water and getting side items in a timely matter.“
“Super delicious Omakase experience! I'd definitely like to go back on a week night for a few rolls. We did a double date here the other night and there was a mixup with our order and we waited a long time but they made it right. I definitely recommend the Omakase experience! My favorite was the nigiri and sashimi. Super fresh and all the details on top of the fish were delicious. Creamy caviar at one point ! This place is in a busy area, so parking is hard, get there early! I appreciate the upscale vibe in the midst of a lot of restaurants, its stands apart!“
“The O'Cado Burger was a 10/10. The vegan crabcakes had good presentation but it’s missing some flavor. The peach ice tea was unsweetened and would’ve been better with sweetness.The staff & hospitality is top notch.Clean, nice vibe and good music.“A” rating for food inspection.“

“My companion and I ordered the rack of lamb, which came with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The lamb was delightfully seasoned and so tender! The mashed potatoes, though a small portion, were delicious, as were the fresh vegetables, broccoli and carrots.  For dessert we ordered carrot cake. What a huge portion !!  It tasted fresh and quite yummy! Our server was excellent, and kept coming around to see if we needed anything. The place itself is very historic, could use a fresh coat of paint, but the ambience was lovely.“
“My partner brought us here.Positives:- smooth homemade Blue jam- Jazz music- Rustic place with 2 types outdoor seating: shaded terrace and outdoor closed up space with wooden table-benches- unique species in international themed dishes (like tarragon in Fresh dish )- huge versatile breakfast menu- sweetheart Jeff (manager) who took off the bill the vegan soup after we found pieces of egg white and gave us a few littlef packages.- fresh orange juice came fast to the tableWhat could be worked on (why my partner, who works in the industry was annoyed):- girl on the picture stood on her phone and multiple waiters had a chat for longer period of time. He spotted then 2 people on the phones.- the scan code system - we had to do all the ‘work’ while others had a chat / busy on their phone and we had to pay…- Russel potatoes ? skin taste is not my favorite- loud kitchen noises at indoor seatingSo if you wanna enjoy the place: be outside and say Hi to Jeff - tall friendly guy!“
“Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Pineapple Hill, and it was an incredible experience with my friends. The locally sourced foods were incredibly fresh and delicious, perfectly complemented by the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff. Their hospitality made our visit truly memorable, and I'm already looking forward to returning next week for another delightful meal.“
“Islands is a classic family favorite. I miss the giant birds that they had at the old location back in the day, however the modern day Islands is fresh take on the beachy island vibe of yesteryear. They have a spacious outdoor patio, bar space and plenty of booths inside. The menu has changed quite a bit over time (they have a burrito on the menu now?), but they are typically known for their burgers and fries. Their fries are so good and they always come in a large portion. I can never get enough! I ordered the big wave and the kid's burger for my son. For your burger you have a choice of bun (wheat or white) or you can do it lettuce wrapped. I thought the kids menu had a lot of great options for littles. My son really liked his side of pineapple! However his burger was SO salty. It was saltier than my big wave burger was, so not sure if this was a fluke or the kids burgers are just saltier. Didn't love it. I enjoyed my big wave. It's exactly what you would expect and the veggies on it tasted crisp and fresh. Service was great too! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. Overall the restaurant was clean and the atmosphere is enjoyable. I come here more for the nostalgia of it but I do crave their fries often!“
“AMAZING PLACE front servers were super nice, SYNDEY AND CARMEN ARE THE BEST. Gave me the best hospitality Carmen really made me feel at home and like family. Sydney was also extremely patient and helpful. She went above and beyond to help me Apple Pay my order!“
“Came here for the first time with my husband on a Sunday . The food is amazing . Whatever we ordered was fresh and tasty . The potatoes with onions are amazing the beef cutlet is juicy . The xashlama was tender. The lady helping us was very sweet and kind. We will be back here soon. Thank you!“

“Great place! We got the special on Thursday which was a medium pizza, wings, two desserts and soda. The pizza was excellent extant how we ordered! I prefer the wings more well but overall they where good! The cannolis and cake was very good had to wait to eat it later but delicious! We had our pug with us and she brought him a water bowl which was very nice and made my dog happy!! We will be back!“
“The food was delicious, well priced, and served in large portions. My husband and I each could only eat less than half our meals: Marmalade Carbonara and Lobster and Shrimp Linguine (both excellent). The service was great and the atmosphere was lovely. We sat in the back patio which was huge, covered and had plenty of heaters. We brought our large dog as well which they were happy to accommodate.“
“Place is cool and they have a pretty decent size menu and good variety drinks.Happy hour is all day on weekends , only thing they need to update there online menu and prices and it does tend to get pretty crowded. You can get milkshakes regular or boozy. Only thing is order them before 930 pmOther than that it's a cool little place.Parking: Parking is street parking.or park in the lot across the street .“
“Great food, adorable place, excellent service. I've been here several times when its not busy, but recently I joined friends and family during a very busy time. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well they ran all services: food was delicious, our coffee drinks arrived HOT with our meals and the host and staff continuously made sure we were satisfied. I highly recommend this adorable, delicious and well managed cafe. You will not be disappointed.“
“My sister and I did some scouting for the perfect place to have an after party after my wedding wanted to give this place a try. We stopped for brunch and the food was great. We quickly decided this was a top choice. Benedict was the manager we spoke to and he was so personable and happy to help us work something out. Since it was far in advance, we were able to book the date of my wedding for 70 people. He toured us around the place with mimosas and was incredibly attentive and kind, genuinely excited to host a wedding after party. On our night, I entered the bar in my wedding gown and everyone in the building clapped and cheered (such a sweet moment from other guests)! Benedict was there and he checked on us the entire night and made sure we always had shots in hand to celebrate. We had a server who was also so on top of it, and I feel bad I can't remember her name. The whole night was incredibly fun and so well put together. I can't thank the team at On The Thirty enough for such a seamless and unforgettable night on such a special day!“
“So happy to find this Italian vegan gem!! Gorgeous ambience/decor - really gives a feeling of classy minimalist spaciousness! Delicious GF options and best of all the menu is completely vegan!! And I can’t believe they even had TWO GF desserts! ? Our beautiful waitress was amazing, and knew the menu incredibly well (that’s so important to me!) and I wish we’d gotten her name! (She had an extensive gorgeous tattoo along one arm and bilateral ear spaces (? sorry that’s the best description I can give!?)“
