“One of my favorite place to eat however the service is not what it used to be, on this visit I was with some guests and even they brought up the service, so I hope they polish up the place a little and bring it back to what it was......the food was not bad however they took off some side items that usually come with the meal....(I guess it's the sign of the times we are in)“

“Happy to return to Duke's in Malibu. Long time family favorite. Since re-opening, it seems that the menu is quite reduced from before and they currently are only operating on limited days/hours. I look forward to the day that they are "back to normal" (whatever that normal is). We had a wonderful meal, the waiter was friendly & responsible, and the value was excellent. Looking forward to returning again soon.“

“From 9-11:30 most Monday nights, come to this small bar to see the miracle of the Hot Club of Los Angeles, an amazing 5 piece embodiment of Django Reinhart's 1930s jazz spirit. Their second set may start around 10:45 if you'd like a bit more room. No snacks, no food, no nonsense...just as good a band as you'll ever see in a space this small. Tommy will take care of you behind the bar. Guinness can, served in a glass, $10 in June 2026. Enjoy!“

“Fun ambiance, good drink selection and it's easy to meet nice people as they host lots of events here.“

“Please give George - who I renamed GMoney - a raise! In all seriousness, he made me (a California newbie) feel so welcome and happy while I was out here visiting my daughter... beyond words. He was amazing and nothing like the East Coast bartenders I’ve been used to! A wonderful night was had because of him!“

“The drinks are amazing!!!!“

“The drinks are good and friendly people. Great vibes!“

“Chela’s Cantina is an awesome spot to kick back, have fun, and enjoy a great night out. Thursday karaoke nights are definitely my favorite — great energy, good crowd, and always a fun atmosphere.

The ceviche is absolutely amazing, the drinks are on point, and the bartenders… well, you’ll just have to come see for yourself. 😄

If you’re looking for a place with good vibes, music, great food, and a fun nightlife experience, Chela’s Cantina is definitely worth checking out.“

“Great KJ, great bartenders and great customers! What more does one need?!“

“Went here for Easter brunch and was surprised I hadn’t heard of this place before. The food was great! I ordered the steak and eggs and while my steak wasn’t a perfect medium rare, the flavor and portion size made up for that immensely. The cocktails were delightful as well! Pricing was as expected for the area and quality. We were seated outside in a makeshift patio in the parking lot, but it was well done and the service was quick and attentive. Next time I would probably try to eat inside or in the smaller patio by the entrance, where the vibes and decor are beautifully done. There is ample free parking in the back as well. I will be back!“

“I stopped here to watch the Dodgers World Series game 1. This is the local dive bar, the crowd was loud but the Dodgers had a walkoff home run so I was expecting some noise. Pool table was old school, only a quarter to play with a chalkboard of who’s next. I had a fun evening and the lady behind the bar bought me a beer, how often does that ever happen. A five star evening for me!“

“Best steak and service . Say hi to Hillary she is the best !!!“

“We had a nice existing, outdoor table stand with a weather destroyed table top. I shopped on the internet for a nice, teak table top. Restaurant Seating Barn Furniture had a good selection of teak table tops at good price points. We ordered a 36” round, teak table tops at and we really like it. It arrived in short order and the quality was nice. I teak oiled the top and bottom. It turned out fabulous!“

“Loved the cozy environment especially in the patio area . Food was great! The potato cakes with apples was amazing . Our group of 9 loved all of the food ! Would recommend to others“

“O’Grady’s in Granada Hills is the kind of spot you go to for a good drink and end up staying because the vibe is just right. The energy’s great, the music’s always on point, and the drinks definitely hit the spot.

But let’s be real , she is the real star of the show is Courtney behind the bar. She doesn’t just pour drinks, she makes the whole night better. Quick with a smile, sharper with a comeback, and she’s got this charm that makes you wonder if she’s mixing drinks or just straight-up magic. I came in for a cocktail and left wondering how someone can make bartending look that good.

If you’re looking for a place where the atmosphere is fun and the company is even better, O’Grady’s is it. And if Courtney’s working? Let’s just say you’re in for more than just a great drink.

First time I have ever been but last time I will look for a bar! Ive gone back 4 nights in a row hoping courtney is working... she needs more days on!!

Dannie and Mary Lou are super nice to.“

“*Unexpected Gem - My New Go-To Spot!*

I'll admit, I didn't expect to fall in love with El Potro Bar. At first glance, I thought it might not be my vibe, but boy was I wrong! This hidden gem has become my regular haunt, and for good reason.

The real stars of the show are bartenders Alejandra and Raquel. They're two of the kindest, most attentive, skilled and attractive bartenders I've encountered in ages. Their warm smiles, quick wit, and expertly crafted drinks make every visit a delight.

Sure, the atmosphere might be laid-back and slow-paced, but that's exactly what I've grown to appreciate. No pretentiousness, just genuine hospitality and a cozy ambiance that makes me feel right at home.

Alejandra and Raquel know their stuff, always willing to offer recommendations or whip up something special. Their passion shines through in every pour, and it's infectious.

Don't let the slow pace fool you - El Potro Bar has become my favorite spot to unwind, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a perfectly chilled beer.

*Recommendations:* Come on Thursday and Ask Alejandra for a bucket of cold beers!

*Will I return?* Absolutely, and with friends in tow!“

“Had such a great time last night , great bartenders , loved my drinks and Jell-O shots ... u can actually taste the alcohol not like other bars .... I recommend this place , they made me feel welcomed“

“A Good Place To Dance For A While And Chat Friendlyly In A Good Atmosphere Due To The Covid Pandemic, 19 Has Been Closed At Least Since Friday They Already Done It! Open.? Some of you or the bar can see what has already been written and send me a text.“

“Romantic atmosphere playing throwback 90’s-2000 hip hop/R&B with a dark, laid back and speakeasy feel. Santa Monica gem!“

“They are by far the best steak I have ever had. We went there on a whim and they were booked but found a cute table for us by the fire. It was the most memorable meal with my husband. We are eternally grateful for the experience and service we received.“

“I ​ regularly stay at the Beverly Hilton, but my latest visit to Circa 55 was disappointing due to one specific server. She was hurried, made unprofessional remarks, and was unwilling to help with a simple request for a to-go bag.
​The rest of the team was wonderful and eventually helped us out, proving that the Hilton brand's high standards are still alive—just not with this individual. The food was excellent as always, but the service from this particular server was a 1/10. Management should look into this to ensure it doesn't tarnish their overall CSAT.“

“The staff is beyond spectacular. Food is consistently excellent. There are actually tables which I love, because you don’t feel like you’re sitting with people you don’t know. Noise level is great, and I can hear people speak.“

“awesome atmosphere, fun events, great staff, and location.“
