“We LOVE coming to Big Jim's! Great restaurant with delicious food! The service is unmatched, Hugo and Diana always help us when we come in and they are always on top of the service. All the servers are amazing. We recommend the avocado turkey melt, all the breakfast items, and definitely need to try the carrot cake for dessert! Hugo #1“

“Like have breakfast here when I am in the area“

“Visiting LA this week and had a fab time at the Clark Street Diner, excellent food😋“

“A combination of classic and delicious.“

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.“

“My brother and I had the most amazing night of superb jazz and food this past Sunday, entertained by Betty Bryant and ensemble. Her fingers moved like liquid gold on the keyboard and her compositions were witty and mesmerizing. The word that kept coming to mind as they performed was "subtle." The music was powerful, but so discrete as to be gentle and gentile. Woodwinds, Bass, and Drums - all played with the kind of delight that makes everyone love the performers as well as the music. As for food, one dish stood out particularly: the creamed spinach with blue cheese. Please tell Chef I would love that recipe! I'm back home in Tennessee now and plan to attempt to copy it, but having the authentic recipe to serve to friends when we entertain would be over the top! Can't wait to visit my brother in LA again and return to Herb Alpert's Vibrato Grill, Jazz, Etc. Just wow! And Thank You!“

“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.“

“My cousin and I came here on a Friday evening around 6:30 PM and were pleasantly surprised that we were seated right away with no reservation. The vibe was beautiful from the moment we walked in. The lighting was cute, there was a pool in the center of the space, and everyone was dressed up which added to the atmosphere without feeling too formal.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming from the start with lots of smiles and easy conversation. Our waiter was incredibly kind and genuine. The only issue was that he forgot to put in our order the first time so he had to come back and take it again. When the food came out he forgot a few things but he seemed a bit overwhelmed so maybe it was just a busy night.
The food came out very fast and it was absolutely amazing. Everything we tried was flavorful and beautifully presented. The menu had so many good options that it honestly took me a while to decide what to get because I wanted to try everything.
Overall it was a great experience. There were a few bumps in service but the overall vibe and quality of the food more than made up for it. I would definitely come back.“

“I recommend Botanica to everyone. They use fresh hand picked ingredients and the food is delicous! Their cocktails and desserts are so yum. I picked up some chile oil and pickled local veggies for gifts for my friends! Chef Zarah and the staff are best. Will definitely be returning soon.“

“I'm hearing VERY PROMISING reviews about the quality of the waffles here, yes. I'm being told that the waffle quality is near (or surpassing!) the standards required.“

“A group of 4 of us had dinner together at this restaurant, and we ALL enjoyed the food. It’s a tapas / Family style and has a lot of options to choose from. we ordered the cauliflower, meatballs, shishito peppers, tagliatelle pasta, spicy Korean fried chicken wings… it was Enough to feed a small family! Cooked to perfection. Also we had the fluffernutter dessert.. honestly everything was Delicious!!!
the tagliatelle pasta and Korean wings were my favorite.
And given that I don’t drink, I love that they have a pretty decent mocktails menu! Thank you to our server, very accommodating!
The service was perfect.
Great ambience.
What more could you ask for?!
10/10 experience!
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.“

“I absolutely love Charlie & Friends! I brought my mum here during her visit from the UK, and she adored it too. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by delicious food and friendly staff who made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and genuinely friendly, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. We chose to eat outside on the lovely patio, which is spacious and relaxing. The location adds to its charm, providing a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle. We left feeling happy and satisfied, and can't wait to return 🥰“

“Nestled in Burbank, Eat N Park is a phenomenal breakfast spot & is a true hidden gem! Get there early because it does get packed and for good reason! Eat N Park, an Armenian owned restaurant offers a huge breakfast with some lunch additions. This place offers dishes packed with flavor, huge portions and low prices! The omelets are amazing, the Belgian waffles, strawberry crepes fantastic & the pancakes are out of this world!!! And don’t get me started on the biscuits…hands down the best I’ve ever had! My hats off to the chef for cooking comfort food that made me feel like I was at home! The hospitality is beyond amazing! The owners are extremely welcoming and serve as well. They treat everyone as if you were dining in their home! From one Armenian Chef to another Shad Shad shunorhagal em! We will definitely see you again soon!“

Delicious chicken dish, burger, fries and dessert. Everything has always been great on the occasions we've been. Honorable mention delicious baby gem lettuce salad.“

“Upscale but relaxed and casual- nice vibes. We had a great view of the open kitchen from where we sat.“

“Great food and drinks! We will be back.“

“One of my absolute favorites from home. The best staff ever, amazing food and more. My final meal before moving to Texas was here shared with great friends and family. Flying back next month for the first time since I moved a year ago and ALREADY a meal or two here has been in the group text!“

“We are visiting town from Texas and ran across Irvs burgers in Balboa. Service was friendly and quick. Breakfast burritos was perfect and the patty melt was amazing. Definitely recommend the chili cheese fries as well. The manager was friendly and welcoming! Thank you for your hospitality, quick eat, and delicious ice ice cream!“

“Great Ceasar salad and pork chop“

“I've never been to a chopped cheese spot in NYC, but I imagine this is what they would look like. Food is fire and staff is friendly. Place is small and it is on a residential street so both times I've gone (early afternoon and late night) Our was hard to find parking. There are 4-6 stools (I forget exactly how many) along the front window where you can sit and eat. The food also reheats nicely LoL.“

“Great food, Great outside patio. Counter service is good, once you get your food though best not expect anything else in terms of service. We asked for the heater to be turned on and some ketchup...still waiting. This has been my experience pretty much everytime.“

“Beautiful setting, fantastic service, and food was incredible! Highly recommend.“

“I was recommended to Nati’s by a friend. The menu is diverse & serves every craving you have when hungry! I just love Mexican food & these cooks have a gift! There’s a nice mix of Oaxaca & Jalisco in the food! The Nopales breakfast & salsas are excellent! Must try! Definitely coming back for more!!!“

“As of late outdoors dining on rustic wooden benches partially under tarp but cozier than average these days. Tavern-style food items on the slightly healthier side and distinct, strong drinks very worth the penny.“

“Hugo's is our family's ultimate go-to place when we need a place that satisfies everyone of every age and taste. Great salads, burgers, sandwiches, breakfasts, sides. Everything leans towards healthy-ish, so that's a plus. The wait staff has always been consistently professional.“

“beautiful setting Brite and good food“

“Looks like a nice hotel with great service.“

“Great fresh food, amazing service!!!“

“the food is great but I think the people make the place!!!!“

“The Melt truly delivers an outstanding burger experience. The burger was fantastic—juicy, flavorful, and literally melted in the mouth. You can tell quality ingredients are used, and everything was cooked perfectly.

Service was excellent as well. One of our burgers was missing an egg, but the service recovery was handled impressively. The staff came back promptly with the egg and even refunded the burger, which showed great professionalism and care for customer satisfaction.

We also tried the cookies, and they were amazing—soft, warm, and genuinely melt-in-the-mouth.

Highly recommended overall. Great food, great service, and great recovery when something went wrong. Will definitely be back again!“

“This place was awesome. Unique with chill vibes and great hot dog/sausage options. Hawaiian rolls definitely added great flavor and elevated the hot dogs. Will totally come back!“

“Todo estuvo excelente, primera vez que los visitamos y muy rico y limpio...muchas Gracias !.“

“Great service, food and drinks. We usually go for dinner. Also ordered in twice and it was great. We also love Tallyrand’s history. #supportsmallbusiness“

“I went here to get a quick coffee (Americano) and a tiramisu. The coffee was actually good, and the tiramisu also tasted good! But what I love about this place is that they made the tiramisu take out special by adding whipped cream around the tiramisu (NOT on, don’t worry) so that there wouldn’t be empty space.

The owner of Bon Vivant was SO nice. A very sweet man. The service was great, even for take out.“

“Try the carrots! You’ll thank me later!“

“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“
