“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.“

“Hollywood's Best & Most Consistent Food & Drinks by far!“

“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!“

“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.“

“excellent service. very rich“

“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.“

“Great owner,staff,food,locations! Conscientious of patrons allergies, and very safe for celiac's“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Exellent !!!!!!! Good service !!!!“

“TLDR: good food, okay service.

I'll start with the good 😊 My husband and I have come here quite a bit throughout the years and have attended a handful of the special events they've put together. They had a rum event where they paired dishes with a variety of rum tastings. It was a great date night and nights like that will keep us coming back. I also remember a delicious to-go Valentine's box during covid that was so thoughtful and delicious. We have enjoyed tasting every dish we've been able to try.

A couple of our favorites have been the smoked trout on ciabatta and the ricotta gnudi. The smoked trout is a hearty bite but somehow light at the same time haha. It's craveable. We like it as a starter or if we're still feeling hungry after a few other dishes. The ricotta gnudi however, is sooo rich and satisfying after a few bites, making it a very decadent and shareable plate. It's probably too much for only two people but we still eat all five pieces and only feel a little guilty after. I give 5 out of 5 stars for the food here.

With that being said, we recently went to try Antonia's winning dishes from ToC. We ordered both dishes and felt like they were probably better when Antonia made them haha. The sausage didn't have a great texture and both dishes needed salt but overall, they weren't bad and I'm happy we tried them.

I think they fall a little short in customer service and possibly staffing. We have had a couple of good interactions but on the norm, it seems like they are understaffed in areas. This is the reason I'm giving 4 stars vs 5. Well, that and because we'll often book a reservation online but when we show up, we have unfortunately been seated at the worst tables. It's usually the smallest table they have and in a very noisy location. Maybe we have had bad luck. Maybe it's because we're two small people without a dog, so they think we'll be happy crammed into the smallest spot they have?

This last visit, we were lead to an indoor table that was sandwiched between two large groups. On one side, the table was about an inch away from someone's back. On the other side, there was a group of about 12 girls having a bachelorette party and scream laughing. We just knew it would be hard to have a conversation there, so we asked about seating outside. They accommodated us by seating us at maybe the next worst table haha. It was just outside the front door but we knew it would be 100% better than where we were. We appreciate them moving us 🙏

I guess the point to that story is, be vocal on where you want to sit. Also, your chances of getting a good table seems to increase if you bring your dog haha, which is unfortunate.

Oh! And as far as parking goes, it's a little hard to find a spot but they offer valet. The area around the restaurant is super cute if you want to walk around a bit before or after your meal. I recommend checking out Color Me Mine just down the street for a nice date night.“

“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!“

“Terrible place duchie not mad“

“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 🥰“

“Curbside pickup for me & my daughter“

“Cool place and so retro“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“Great tasting food! Highly recommended.“

“😃very clean place to visit“

“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!“

“Well thought out menu, curated with many options. Good balance of veggies, full platters, side dishes. A delightful seasonal menu with the best butternut squash soup we've ever tried. 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.“

“great place to visit and dine it’s an icon“

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

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“beautiful setting Brite and good food“

“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.“

“my go to when I'm in west hollywood.love the vibe...and drinks..“

“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.“

“Great fresh food, amazing service!!!“

“Looks like a nice hotel with great service.“

“My favorite place. My family and colleagues Love it here, our happy place to gather and chill! My only question is why change the Mac'n'Cheese???? Please please go back to the OGMac! No offenses to the new chef, everything else is amazing 🙌 please go back to cheesy Mac! We love u ❤️ and all the thoughtful staff. 💖“

“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!“

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

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

“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!“

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