“The servers were super warm and friendly, and the restaurant had an amazing vibe! I especially loved that almost every table has a clear view of the open kitchen, so you can chat while watching the chefs showcase their incredible skills!We ordered the Eggs Benedict, breakfast quesadilla, and a breakfast platter. The presentation was gorgeous, with a total 'Iron Chef' style, and every single dish tasted just as amazing as it looked! 😄“

“Great Service, love the fries and steak sauce but the steak itself on chewier side.
French Toast is yummy, scramble egg - so so but the toast with tomato very delicious.

“You have to go to l'Appart by Air Food to experience a delicious French bistrot ambiance. The ambiance outside is very friendly, covid-safe and cosy. The dishes are beyond delicious. Yesterday I had the Plat du Jour with delicious scallops and home made very tasty mash potato puree. The plate are so beautifully presented - it is a pleasure to look. The desserts were delicious as well. There is a shade that separates the table from the streets for privacy. Free parking in the corner street. Brigitte the waitress is very welcoming and the owner / chef are beyond nice. An address to discover !“

Plus they sent us home with some fresh fruit from their trees.“

“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!“

“I love to eat good food and La Vie didn't disappoint. We ordered French Onion soup, Escargot and Black Pepper pate to start, followed by the Chilean Sea Bass and Filet Mignon for our entrees. To top it off, we had the souffle and creme brulee for dessert. Everything tasted absolutely delicious and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. The cost is very reasonable for their set menu which comes with soup, salad, entree and coffee or tea. I'll definitely be coming back to try the other items on their menu!“

“Charming sandwich shop, a little Provence. Pesto panini is delicious. Perfect to spend a lazy afternoon sipping cappuccino in this comfy place“

“My third time there, brought a group this time. They throughly enjoyed themselves!
The atmosphere, the student workers & loved the selection of foods. We shared tasting and raved about the tastes, preparation, presentation and creative mixing. What a fabulous place to dine!!“

“Garson de Cafe is very Chic . Beautiful decor and fantastic customer service. I highly recommend this place to everyone.“

“I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon and a chocolate and banana croissant, they were both delicious and I can’t wait to go back again. Owners were very friendly and provided a great atmosphere. Will definitely be a new go to spot in Honolulu.“

“Don't overlook this place during their prefix menu days, Monday and Tuesday. It is such a wonderful deal. The steak frites is so good! The service has been great the couple of times we've visited and it's just a beautiful space.“

“The location is lovey and convenient. They have a fixed price menu which allowed us to have an amazing 4 course meal at a reasonably affordable price for the quality. The food was delicious and so creative. The service and staff are wonderful. They did an excellent job with timing the courses — and they really know the food and drink. This place feels like a labor of love and I’m excited to go back. Good parking for like $5 just up the block.“

“Great food and excellent service“

“Loved the croque madame, abalone and scallop pot pie, and spaghetti bolognese. The croque madame and spaghetti bolognese were the clear standouts. Also got the burger (good but expensive), sweet potato gratin (delicious), and chicken liver mousse (delicious but pricey at $7 per piece). Overall, service was excellent (thanks Janine!) and atmosphere was chill. I’d say it’s on the pricier side, but worth the money for nicer occasions.“

“Had their eggs Benedict, it was OK.
Their iced Chai tased mostly like cinnamon water.
Their almond croissant was decent.
All that with tip was $60 for breakfast.
I can think of MANY places where I could have had better breakfast food for that price.
Waitress and hostesses were on point with great service, so at least there’s that.“

“The food is fresh and has a unique flavor. The atmosphere is quiet, allowing for a comfortable dining experience. Service is prompt, and the staff are warm and attentive. Prices are also quite reasonable. All in all, this restaurant is highly satisfying and well worth a return visit.“

“I loved it here. The atmosphere was romantic and they played some really good music. The magician was fun and the chef was amazing. Food was spot on and the drinks were to die for. Cassandra was attentive. The experience overall was lovely.“

“Great prices and costumer service. Sandwich Combo with a coffee and a choice of a side for $12! Can’t beat those prices around here. Cashier was super friendly and patient when taking my order as a first timer. Nice ambience and place to grab lunch and cool off.“

“Spring never disappoints! We brought friends from out of town, and we had a wonderful meal, starting with the white shrimp appetizer. The duck received rave reviews for the richness of flavor as well as the preparation. The saffron in the bourride complemented the fish. We closed with a panna cotta that was light and fresh. Spring is such a gem. We always enjoy our dinners there, and we are happy to have it in DTLA!“

“While staying at the Omni, we checked out Noe Restaurant & Bar on the hotel’s third floor. The food was great, and James made our experience at the bar even better. He knew the menu inside and out, offered excellent recommendations, and was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. He’s a super nice guy who clearly cares about taking care of his guests. Great food and outstanding service!“
