“👍 good food and nice people“

“We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Casita! Brittany, the concierge, and our server Delilah provided exceptional, warm, and professional service that truly stood out. The food was not only delicious but also incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere was simply stunning—inviting, elegant, and perfectly suited for a memorable evening. We can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed every moment. This was an experience to remember, and we’re already looking forward to coming back soon!“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“nice place guys 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Just the greatest tiki bar EVER!“

“Great Food, Disappointing Service — A Missed Opportunity

Saltie Girl has a well-earned reputation for exceptional food, and in that regard, it delivered. Every dish that came out of the kitchen was flavorful and beautifully presented — the oysters, in particular, were a standout.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the service.

After ordering a bottle of wine, it took over 20 minutes for our server to return, only to inform us that the manager would be retrieving the wine. Another 10 minutes passed before she reappeared — not with the wine we ordered, but with a different, more expensive bottle. Rather than apologizing for the mix-up or offering it at the original price as a courtesy, the switch was presented matter-of-factly. A gesture of goodwill here would have gone a long way.

To make matters worse, our oyster order was mishandled — not once, but twice — with incorrect counts and missing varieties. For a restaurant that charges premium prices, these details matter. Guests expect not only excellent food, but also attentive, polished service to match.

In the end, the meal was delicious, but the experience left a bitter aftertaste. I truly hope management takes this feedback seriously and invests in training their staff. As much as I enjoyed the food, I won’t be returning until the service rises to the level of the kitchen. Dining here should feel seamless — not like a constant series of corrections.“

“We enjoyed the drinks as well as the food and the ambience 👍🏽😎“

“I recently revisited and was wondering why I didn't come at least every month here. This place has one of the best cocktails and vibes, but I always appreciate the bartenders' level of service and especially huge shout out to Daniel.
Daniel took care of us with utmost care with a single goal of making me and and my friend happy. My friend had a pretty particular taste and Daniel listened in and went out of his way to make a delicious drink.
Definitely love talking to the other folks at the bar. Highly recommend who wants great drinks, kind/fun bartenders, and just a good time overall.
Thanks again Daniel!“

“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.“

“A great meal to celebrate our 8th grader’s MS graduation and my FIL’s 75th birthday! Thankful, too, for the Katz family’s support of our school’s fundraiser back in April - we were able to use a gift card we had won at that event.

Definitely a “seen and be seen” kind of vibe, but we did not feel out of place at all and the service was warm and welcoming and super accommodating of both our youngest son’s allergies and our large party. Thank you so much, especially Katrina who was patient and attentive throughout our meal.

Rolls were delicious, the whole crispy fish was a showstopper, and the drinks were perfect. All in all, a superb evening!“

“Just tried MIRATE Restaurant the food was amazing! Definitely worth checking out if you love great flavors.“

“Great food and cocktails!! 🍸“

“Great place and atmosphere! Visited from Ohio back in March for our wedding. Tyler was super friendly to us!“

“Walked and found this little gem ❤️“

“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.“

“Went to The Three Clubs for my birthday and had a great time. Lovely atmosphere that reminds me of a speakeasy. Music was great with some old and new stuff. My bartender Daniel was wonderful and made some really yummy drinks and shots and made my experience awesome. I will absolutely come back another time.“

“we're just leaving Black Rabbit. kudos to the chef. The food was amazing especially though pad Thai and Patsy and drunken noodles. The service was fantastic. our host when we got there was Jackson he was fun, tremendous personality and provided great service. The Magic show was Amazing, hilarious and captivating. We definitely highly recommend the Black Rabbit !!“

“Went on a Thursday night. Honestly I had a great experience. Not sure about these other people Lisa and Vince are extremely nice and welcoming you can tell they care about their customers. The drinks are good and strong. The food is also good. No complaints would recommend this place to anyone and will definitely be coming back again

“Just had an amazing 40th birthday celebration here and can't recommend it highly enough. We priced out a ton of venues, particularly in Los Feliz/Silver Lake where we live, and Spare Room was hands down the best option and worth the 'schlep' from our side of town. Great cocktails, stellar pre-order food options (you can order there but for bigger groups it's worth pre-ordering), the bowling was a super fun activity to keep people entertained, and all of the servers were very attentive and friendly. Whether you're looking to host a party or just a fun night out with friends, Spare Room should be on your short list for sure. Also the hidden photo-booth! Always a sucker for fun details like that.“

“I mean … being a regular for almost 10 yrs. This place never disappoints …. Never…. The cast of characters is entertaining and the history etc … the owner Mark is the best… I’m not gonna go in too much cuz they already know how much we love and haunt this place…. You’re missing out if you don’t come.“

“Great atmosphere, food and drinks!“

“Took my family to eat here last night we got sat quickly. Our food came out quickly, and our waitress was extremely kind And patient, Where I am from there are many Mexican restaurants with authentic Mexican food so to come by this place with original authentic Mexican food is amazing. I will suggest this place to anybody. I know coming around this area.“

“Came here after seeing Wicked at the Pantages. What can I say? Joe is a phenomenal bartender. Makes one hell of a cosmo.

This is definitely a dive bar. Very small, phenomenal atmosphere. Definitely a place to go when you want a little adventure alone.“

“The Drawing Room and their bartenders are truly overwhelmed by the kindess, generosity, and compassion shown by each and every one of you during our these two days donation drive to support the brave firefighters of the Los Angeles Fire Department and fire victims in our community!

Thanks to your contributions - whether it was donating water, drinks, essential supplies or simply spreading the word - we were able to make a real difference in a time of great need!

To our donors, your generosity is a beacon of hope. To our volunteers and bartenders, your dedication and hard work made this drive possible.

Let's continue to support one another, uplife our community, and honor the heroes who protect us every day!“

“So so good! Their basic house salad had a very clean, delicious taste with a lemon vinaigrette. We also got a cheese pizza and 10/10 would recommend. Was a thin crust pizza but good crispy crust, not too thin. I got a strawberry spritz, non-alcoholic drink that was fresh and my friend got the Espresso Martini. I'd never tried one before but had a sip and will absolutely get it next time, very smooth. The bartender was nice and attentive.“

“Loved the entire cuban show and the food is excellent“

“I recently hosted an event here and couldn't be happier with how it turned out. The staff is amazing, the ambiance is perfect for an intimate (<100 person) events, and the inclusive, queer-friendly environment made all our guests feel comfortable and at home.The booking process was unusually pleasant because their Events Manager is responsive, super friendly, and easy to work with. When I arrived early to set up, everyone was awesome and welcoming. And my guests loved it.I was also pleasantly surprised by how affordable the venue was. Given the high level of service, the exceptional quality of drinks, and the cool atmosphere of the bar, I expected the cost to be much higher.Overall, I was thrilled with the experience and plan to host more events there in the future. Huge thanks to the entire team at Oaks Hollywood!“

“Even though we were tourists, it was a very friendly local bar with a great atmosphere! The bartender was very kind even though he translated it into Papago for us because he couldn't speak English. The atmosphere was very nice and there were a lot of different beers, which was great! From a foreigner's perspective, coming to a local bar can be very scary, but this place was very comfortable, friendly, and fun! And the store had a nice atmosphere and the bathroom was clean, so I really liked it! It was a store near my accommodation, and I want to go there again before I go back to Korea! It was a store where everyone was satisfied :)“

“Great music, beautiful views and excellent drinks and service. My experience was fantastic!“
