“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 .“

“Tar & Roses is our family's favorite restaurant. Whenever we have people in from out of town or we want to go out with new friends or we just want a fun date night or to celebrate an occasion, we go there!!! The food and service is outstanding every time. Tar & Roses never disappoints! We love it!!!“

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“The food and service at Lunetta were outstanding! We absolutely loved the Tuna Tartare. The flavors were fresh and bright with the perfect seasoning. The prawn/shrimp dish with pasta in a bisque sauce was divine! I just hope that they will continue those two dishes so that I can return soon and enjoy them again!“

“My wife and I had a wonderful experience here last month . The service was impeccable and every dish we tried was great . The waiter we had that night made great food and wine recommendations and was incredibly accommodating. We can’t wait to go back for another date night“

“Service excellent. Food good with one minor complaint. In the past I ordered pasta all vodka. It was excellent. This time it was spicy. Was not expecting that. Not as good spicy. Staff was excellent in providing cake to our 4-year-old birthday girl.“

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

“Fantastic good and cute patio. BLT incredible.“

“The food was delicious and a great place to dine. Next time bring some friends and enjoy the food“

“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.“

“What an AMAZING place. Went for dinner last night. Beautiful intimate vibe, nice staff (owner was there too, super nice and takes a lot of pride in their food), and delicious food. Got the lentils, risotto and trout -- all were great -- American with an Indian twist. Happy I found it. Will definitely be back“

“Every time I enter Meteora I feel transported into another world (one I want to visit again and again)! The gorgeous rainforest boho-chic design paired and the captivating global music that's played create a very romantic and magical environment. The food is delicious and so artfully prepared that I often find myself pausing mid-conversation just to savor what I'm eating (and looking at). The staff is warm, helpful and consistently welcoming. Meteora is definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the world.“

“Great food and wine with a view“

“Went for special holiday meal. Food was delicious. Probably the tastiest chopped chicken liver I've ever tasted. Fabulous brisket, potato pancakes, noodle kugel. Service was extremely good. The server helped make the evening fun. Terrific cocktails helped too. Will eagerly come back to the restaurant for brunch and dinner.“

“Delicious cocktails !! Thank you Avalon hotel“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“Great ambiance and server Jake was amazing.“

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

“I love the vibe in this restaurant! Very surfer chic. I ended up coming here two days in a row for brunch. I had the breakfast sandwich and the breakfast burrito. Both was solid. I would be interested in coming back to check out their dinner or happy hour menu“

“Great Food and Parings. Service was great. wonderful ambiance & spectacular views!!“

“This restaurant was absolutely perfect! Loved the outdoor dining and how you could see the kitchen. My friend got their wine flight which apparently was good, and they have nonalcoholic wine! The food was delicious, we got 5 plates and dessert for 4 people. The strawberry apricot meringue tart was insane. Thank you!!!“

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

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

“From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything was great.

I have food allergies and they were able to accommodate me without issue. Our server, a young woman originally from Louisiana, was friendly, funny, and attentive. The indoor/outdoor vibe was spot on for a beautiful day.

The food itself was very good and just the right amount. The beer selection was varied to fit most tastes. The prices for both were in line with a mid-range restaurant in Burbank.

Being in downtown Burbank, parking was challenging for us. Even with a handicapped card I had to park over two blocks away. That was not fun but it was the same for all restaurants and shops in the area and not just Finney's - something to be aware of if you're going downtown.

I would gladly return when I'm in the area again.“

“Love a place where locals hang out ! Lots of options and everything sounded equally nice ! Our server was very professional and helpful and the dishes we go were well cooked and huge so we couldn't finish it all. A great starter is the firecracker shrimps - suggested by the young man who served us! Another great thing about the place is that it closes later than other places in the area so you can stay for drinks if you like.“

“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.“

“This place has an incredible musical vibe and an amazing staff of great humans!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“Great atmosphere, food and drinks!“

“I love it here because it’s old fashion great table service because management excels in traffic patterns with cross trained wait staff and bidders. No server leaves the kitchen empty handed and the vibe is to make their customers happy with continuous even flow table service. Disney please take note! I am not of of millennial restaurants where stand at a cash register and pay the tip upfront then assigned a number & number holder then fend & elbow for a table. This is old school service upgraded with innovative traffic management to expedite cuisines & cocktails. I love the intimacy of the raised railroad car booths where I can actually hear my guest’s conversation and speak to wait staff at eye level. And the bathrooms are so modern and spotless! The observation window to see the cooking staff hard at work is as much fun as a cooking show! Chocolate chip cookies are warm but melt in your mouth!

“Aesthetically the restaurant looks great. Surprisingly for such an open floor plan you still feel the room is quiet and comfortable. Service was outstanding! Leigh was an absolute delight... she is knowledgeable, attentive, professional, and an amazing, witty, & fun personality. She quickly observed that my brother and I were having a great time and hadn't seen each other for a while and really jumped on board to create an amazing dining experience. Additionally, the whole staff was working as a cohesive unit and willing and able to help out, however was needed.“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“Excellent food & location. Very clean. The mimosas are delicious with fresh squeezed orange juice. Staff is very friendly. I will definitely be back!“

“El trato para los clientes es al 100 % recomendado, los meseros muy amables y la comida exquisita, te ayuda ah todas tus peticiones en especial el mesero # 1 NATHAN M. Súper amable 10/10 súper atento y agradable 200% Recomendable 👍🏻👏🏻❤️ En Burbank 👍🏻“

“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.“
