New American Restaurants near Toluca Lake, CA

“Love this place - it’s always chill, the parm garlic fires are amazing, there’s tons of games and books and the drinks are all fun literary references.

The ONE complaint I have, is that for a place that’s mostly quiet, it consistently takes forever to get a drink.“

“Great food and lovely owners - would recommend“

“The blackberry crunch toast was amazing. Great service, friendly staff & nice location.“

“Great with DJ music at Patio“

“They have the best Thai Food in Town . I have tried several Thai food restaurants throughout Los Angeles County and nothing g compares the to the quality, flavors, and freshness of this place . I actually live getting my food delivered or picked up , something I hate doing with other restaurants , however their food is always made to order and it survives the ride home . I never have to warm up it . Their Curries are addictive, I like all 3 of them . Their pineapple rice is so good and they always put plenty of of pineapple . I also love their “moneybags” and the dipping mayo I that it comes with . I like to order extra the next day it tastes ever better .“

“Great food and friendly service“

“One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! We love it!!!! It’s romantic, it’s mind blowing delicious, it’s for people who like to experiment with flavors, like to try smth new and who is a foodie. They don’t make cocktails. The signature dish is definitely a snapper, that’s the main thing we coming here for, but EVERYTHING is super delicious, has a unique flavor. They know how to deliver, they know what they are doing. We celebrate here special occasions and keep this gem only for us, for special more romantic nights. You have my heart.
They desserts to dieeee for!!!!“

“The amazing short rib dinner, the drinks, dessert, the impeccable service from reservations, table side service, and management, all made the most perfect Valentines Day dinner. Thank You!! 🙏🏼💖🔥“

“New favorite. The yellow Japanese Common tableware plates !“

“I took a friend to The Henry to celebrate his birthday (which indicated on the Open Table reservation); it was a great choice. They had a birthday card for him when he sat down and provided a birthday dessert after our meal. The food and service were outstanding.“

“We had a fabulous night. Food was amazing and service is top notch!“

“Food was excellent and the ambiance sitting outside was great. We had the pork chop, puréed herb potatoes, appetizer sashimi and olives. Everything was top notch, food and service. Pork chop was very moist and the sauce they serve with it brought the pork chop over the top. Pure heaven. I wish they would change their policy regarding happy hour and allow happy hour if you sit outside. We have a dog and since he cannot go inside the restaurant then allow us to have happy hour outside with our best friend. Most restaurants make this exception. We would certainly frequent your establishment much more often as we love happy hour.“

“Had a nice lunch here. Great atmosphere in downtown Santa Monica right by the pier and across from a parking structure. The restaurant has a nice, swanky, seaside vibe. I had the ceviche and fish tacos, both of which were very good. Would recommend.“

“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.“

“Stopped by for dinner to check out the place. We are having an event there in a few weeks. AWESOME EXPERIENCE. Food was wonderful, service was perfect, management went out of their way to be gracious and welcoming. Can't wait to return in a few weeks.“

“Every morsel of every bite was an explosion of delectable goodness that made you close your eyes to try to savor and discover the origins of every single ingredient.“

“Great food and the owners were incredibly kind. One of our favorite things about vacation 2023. The Greene's from Idaho love you.“

“We had a spectacular meal last night and our server Allison went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. She recommended the Lobster sliders to start and a wonder white wine which we enjoyed throughout the meal. She spaced out each course so we had some time to savor the unique and wonderful flavors which we so appreciated. The albacore cerviche was one of the best cerviche I have ever had anywhere. And the boar ragu pasta was divine. But the Tikka Massala Chicken was the most delicious presentation of chicken imaginable. We also loved the desert Allison suggested which was an unusual take on peanut butter and whipped cream and fresh berries. Just a delightful way to end the perfect night. Can't wait to return and try more of their innovative dishes.“

“Fantastic good and cute patio. BLT incredible.“

“Great food and wine with a view“

“Had a lovely dinner and our server Jade was excellent! The shrimp cocktail was delicious and the hot fried catfish and fried hen sublime! A wonderful experience!“

“The chef's restaurant is upscale but cozy, with only 5 tables, all across from the open air kitchen. The chef and waiter collaborate to serve you each dish, telling you the ingredients that go into each dish... like little stories. Such a special experience!“

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

“I have dined at Meteora many times before and it's usually been excellent however the night that we went, the timing of the courses was notably off and delayed. The couple next to us got there right before and another couple 2 tables down got there after us and they were both 2 entire courses ahead of us. The entire meal lasted 3 hours due to this. There was plenty of staff - we saw staff constantly circulating so I have no idea what happened. When I said something, they were apologetic and offered us more drinks on the house, which I did appreciate, however, I really wasn't planning on such a long dining experience and disliked that we were essentially forgotten for the first half of our time there.“

“I love this place! They have the best “French dip” ever.“

“Great service. steak was good. A but spendy. Enjoyed the atmosphere.“

“What an absolute GEM of a restaurant with incredible food and awesome staff. The owners are a delight, the food is both delicious and aesthetic, and the owners are a delight!

As I was leaving, I realized that this building is Flynn's Arcade from TRON: Legacy....such a bonus!“

“Great ambiance and server Jake was amazing.“

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

“Brianna was our server tonight and she was absolutely amazing ! Such a joy to talk with and she recommended some of her favorites entrees to my family and I. The food was delicious ! The atmosphere was a vibe based on the ambiance and the awesome DJ!! My family and I were in town from Alabama and we enjoyed every minute at STK! We had filet steaks , Ny Strip, salmon, bacon mac n cheese , classic Mac n cheese, and brussel sprouts. Everything was cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back and hope to see our amazing server Brianna.“

“Fast, friendly service. Fresh, delicious dishes. What’s not to love?“

“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.“

“The ambiance, food and service is great! Will be back definitely 💯!“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“Asked the male server if we could sit at a table that had yet to be cleaned. To which he SNAPPED, if it's not cleaned it's not available find a seat at the other tables.

Hunter, the polite server said I'll clean up the table right away. Hunter had a great disposition, polite and professional. Another guest complained about the lack of service to the same server, his absence and had to look for him in the kitchen to express her dissatisfaction in the service to which he shrugged and then asked if she could have condiments brought to her table to which he signed and sarcastically repeated her request.

If you decide to dine here, ask for Hunter and NO ONE ELSE. If she's not available, please take your business elsewhere.“

“Great atmosphere, food and drinks!“

“Wonderful partnership with A16, great wine / food pairings, excellent hospitality by all the women to mark 'la festa della donna'.“

“Fast and good Nice people“

“I always love coming here. The food is amazing and probably the best Brussels sprouts anywhere.“

“The food here is so good! The portions are also huge, my partner and I only ate half of what we got pretty much and were able to have the leftovers for brunch the following day ?, and it still schmacked after being microwaved! 5/5.

Decent service, it was a busy Saturday so it wasn’t anything to complain about ??

Atmosphere was great, washrooms were clean as well.

Only thing that sucked was finding parking, but we’re not from town, so parking could just be normal for locals?

Overall, you gotta try this place. The Vicky’s Breakfast is well balanced, the Pastrami was cooked perfectly and the roasted tomato and herb salad pairs with it so well to cut through that fat. The mushrooms were a sleeper in that plate ?‍? it was delicious! The chicken and waffles were great too, batter was light and crispy.“

“Fast friendly professional service and hot delicious food! I’ll definitely return 🥰“

“The Great White Breakie was delicious, I loved the combination of goat cheese and sourdough. The folded eggs were also really good, especially with the bacon slices. Overall the flavors were really well balanced on this plate, and I enjoyed how you could mix & match the different ingredients to your taste. The Caesar Salad was very good, would recommend adding grilled chicken on the side. We also liked the coffee here, especially the Shaken Iced Latte!

Great food and great service too. The atmosphere is also very relaxed, perfect for brunch but I could also see this being a nice dinner place too.“

“Food is always good, very relaxing fun place to eat. Just watch out on when you self check out the tipping system is not correct and was tipping on top of sales tax and the full total. I always tip 18% but what 18% should be was charging 22%.“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“Very friendly bar really good entertainment staff are really really nice and very funny well worth going to always a good night here“
