“Excellent menu with great food, reasonable prices, wonderful ambiance and a friendly staff What more would you want for date night“

“Located inside of Nordstrom at The Oaks Mall (on the 2nd floor), this restaurant is a nice little hideaway from all typical dining choices available when I work in TO. It's familar, and also nice, but not pretentious. The food and drinks are consistently good and on par with the other locations, and the service is great ( service may be even better than some other locations). Thank you for the pleasant service, wonderful food, and hideaway vibes in TO“

“Los Dos Amigos feels Mexican from the moment you walk in. It reminds one of restaurants in the small towns between, say, Cancun and Chichen Itza. The walls are tiled in white, gold, red, and green. The artwork is typical of rural Mexico.\n\nThe food is definitely Mexican with tasteful embellishments. Service is friendly and efficient – servers help each other out. If you like south-of-the-border meals, Los Dos Amigos is a nice treat.“

“We recently dined at RED O Mexican at The Promenade, and the entire evening was an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. The moment you step into the venue, you are completely transported by the resort-style ambiance. Featuring dramatic lighting, rich natural textures, and a stunningly designed bar space, it strikes the ultimate balance between high-end sophistication and a lively, energetic pulse. It is exactly the kind of atmosphere that makes an evening feel incredibly special the second you arrive.
The contemporary Mexican menu is a brilliant showcase of bold, authentic flavors reimagined with a modern twist. We kicked off our culinary journey with their fresh, table-side guacamole and the incredibly succulent carnitas empanadas. For the entrees, the premium wood-fired steaks and fresh seafood completely stole the show. Every single plate that hit our table was beautifully arranged, cooked with masterclass precision, and packed with layers of complex, vibrant seasoning. You can instantly taste the commitment to high-quality ingredients and upscale culinary craft in every bite.
What completely cements RED O as a premier local destination, however, is their outstanding customer service. The staff treats hospitality like a true art form. The entire team moves with a level of professionalism, warmth, and grace that is exceptionally rare to find. Our server was warm and attentive without ever feeling intrusive, offering perfect cocktail pairings and ensuring our table was flawlessly cared for throughout the night. Between the stunning Tulum vibes, the unforgettable food, and the genuinely welcoming staff, RED O has officially become our favorite spot in the area. We cannot wait to return!“

“Tucked away behind a blue door, is a classy speakeasy-themed bar with smashing decor, fabulous drinks, and mixologists with finesse. This clean, sleek gem of a place is my favorite place to have a unique cocktail and bites. The lighting is cozy and on certain nights they have live music. Go, check it out. You can stop by the main restaurant and/or step back in time and enjoy this spiffy and sophisticated spot. Love it.“

“I love Atost’s aperitifs and I love their customer service. Every holiday season I buy some bottles for coworkers and friends. They are always a hit. This season I purchased 5 bottles but unfortunately FedEx messed up my delivery. Emily, Atost’s event manager, and Kyle, Atost’s founder, were so quick to respond to my email and resolve the shipping/delivery issue. The company goes above and beyond with both their products and their service. I will continue to be a regular Atost customer.“

“Have dined at Pearl District many times over the years for special occasions or just a nice evening out. It's always consistently delivered in great customer service and quality food. Offers great drink options and also an extensive wine list (by the glass or bottle). Some of the standout dishes are the "pan roasted wild mushrooms", "braised short ribs", filet mignon & branzino. For dessert the "wonder bar" is a must!“

“Lure Fish House is easily one of my favorite spots. The ambiance is amazing. Whether you're there for a date night, dinner with friends, or just looking for a great seafood experience, the atmosphere never disappoints.

My go-to dishes are the Tequila Lime Shrimp Pasta and the Charbroiled Oysters. The pasta is packed with flavor and perfectly cooked, while the oysters are an absolute must-try. Everything tastes fresh and is prepared with care.

The service is always friendly, the food is consistently excellent, and the overall experience keeps me coming back. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for great seafood and a fantastic dining experience.“

“Great place much better than Most“

“Delicious food, amazing cocktails!“

“This place is ten minutes from my house but the Angeleno along us is the one who found it and invited us there! Nice outdoor seating if you don’t want to be indoors; the cute menu includes vegetarian options and nice cocktails (though not poured deep); we lived our options. I got the impossible taco salad (Impossible crumbles replaced regular hamburger taco meat); my son had a Pepperoni flatbread; he pointed out to us that (per the menu)a dollar from every sale of that pizza goes to children’s charities. Gotta like a place that gives back! 💙 The Reuben was phenomenal. The wait staff was pleasant, courteous, and cheerful. We will be back!“

“I have been going here for some time now. For some reason, ceviche with tuna was out of the world this time around. It was the best I had in a very long time. we were a group of 4, but I guess I finished all of it on my own. Just want to give a big kudos to the kitchen staff for making this dish very memorable.“

“Excellent food, nicest people! ☀️“

“I’ve been loyal Yolanda’s customer for many years and they always deliver! - but I have to wonder if there’s a new chef in town. I ordered Chile Colorado and it was not like it has been in the past (1 month ago). The beef was tough, the pieces were small 1/2 inch chunks. The sauce was very bland even after added salt. 2 Bay leaves were in my sauce and that’s all I could taste. Not a Mexican flavor at all. Will I stop going? Of course not! But I’m disappointed at this recent change.“

“This afternoon, I went to Las Calaveras Restaurant in Simi Valley and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Francisco, the manager, and Giovanna took great care of us and made us feel very welcome. We left very happy with our experience and truly enjoyed our time there. We look forward to coming back very soon.“

“Charles is a great bartender“

“Un lugar muy agradable te atienden súper bien“

“Sutter’s feels like stepping back in time, not just with its decor, but with the service too. The cozy booth seating gives you a sense of privacy. Our waiter was superb, very attentive and always ahead of any request we might have had! This really makes dining here top notch!
We all enjoyed the Prime Rib, and it was absolutely delicious! The horseradish was a fantastic, perfectly blended addition. The side salad with tomatoes, fresh cut cucumbers (a treat) and the baked potato really made the meal complete. I definitely recommend this restaurant!! It’s ideal for a night out, while also offering the ideal, cozy spot to celebrate an anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or any other special occasion.“

“Came in for a late breakfast. It was pretty busy but once through the line the food and the coffee came out fast. Breakfast tacos were very good. Lots of egg and thick, crispy bacon. Coconut cold brew was very tasty, sweet but not too sweet. Atmosphere insid3 is comfortable, but tables could have been wiped down. Altogether we really enjoyed it.“

“Awesome burgers. This place rocks“

“Brought a group of 12 in last night. The service was excellent!! We all loved our food. Our waitress was perfect. We hardly had to ask for anything. She even split up our checks. We'll be back!! Highly recommend!“

“Food and service are top notch“

“I simply love this place from the bartender Haley to the manager Chris always friendly amazing“
