“They had the most amazing Cashew Cheese option for the pizzas. The vibes and atmosphere were immaculate and made me feel like I was at home eating with my family. Phenomenal service from the staff and the food was so delicous you could tell the ingredients are fresh and organic.”

“Double edge coin. Hippies then conservatives in the same area. But you get a certain vibe from the area.”

“Simply the best, so happy to have Patrice in the canyon creating delicious treats!”

“Great 🌮 in a beautiful setting!”

“I had the best quiche EVER at the Waterlily. The staff are knowledgeable and kind, the food is delicious and reasonably priced, and it is in a very calm and serene area in Topanga Canyon. The next time I’m in the LA area, this will be a revisited spot!”

“I attended a private wedding today at the Inn of the Seventh Ray. The celebration included a bar and live music as part of the ceremony. I won't comment on the food (which was a wonderful catered buffet menu), but the venue and atmosphere were absolutely delightful. The reception area was separated from the main restaurant, and was outside alongside a gently flowing stream which was a perfect setting for a celebration. The location is perfect for a smaller occasion (there were 8 tables seating 8 at each table), and it was the perfect setting for a party or event for about 60 to 80 people.
I will definitely return to try the restaurant's own menu in the near future!”

“Great subs, Fresh breads, veggies, deli style meats and cheeses. Highly recommended :)”

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊”

“Nice spot to eat after walking the beach. The food was good. Cocktails are small in size but they taste good. Glassware could be cleaner. The indoor outdoor atmosphere is nice.”

“Although I was a little put off by the paper plate table settings… this was by far the most delicious food I’ve had… a wildly unexpected treat! Simple yet brilliant flavors using incredible olive oil… it’s my new favorite place! Highly recommended…”

“Absolutely delicious food. Chulita Bowl was fantastic, hibiscus mimosa and latte were so good. Friendly staff too! Thanks for the wonderful brunch. 🙏🧜🏽‍♀️”

“I just ordered for the first time today and I must say your food is fantastic! Generous portion with pickles and delicious soft boiled eggs, pickles, puréed fresh tomatoes and a small amount of hot sauce that isn’t too hot. Just right. Went to your place near corner of Van Nuys and Burbank. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED”

“Incredible experience. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere felt both modern and cozy at the same time. The chef truly delivers beyond expectations, every bite was full of flavor.

The portions are perfect for sharing, which makes it even more enjoyable to try different dishes and experience the menu together.”

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING”

“Great food and service. Our table was crowded in a corner and was not that comfortable to sit at. Highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding. Best we've ever had. We will dine at Tar and Roses again if we return to the area.”

“A group of us (6) had dinner here, and, my God, every bite and sip was delicious! Great food and service, and a fun atmosphere. A superb dining experience! Go if you find the time.”

“The best place for an incredible night out in LA!

As soon as we parked the smell of the outdoor grill hit us. We knew we were in for something special.

We were sat immediately with a reservation, and had the best service. Mike was our waiter and was everything you want in a server and more. He was present but not overly so, he knew his wines well, and was clearly very passionate about the food. He’s service absolutely made our night!

The food was the only thing that overshadowed Mike’s excellence, every bite was divine.

We shared the hummus toast, zucchini, Japanese, sweet potato, Shishito peppers. And for mains enjoyed a chicken skewer, lamb chops, and ribeye.

The lamb was seasoned and cooked perfectly, being my best bite of the night, but the chicken skewer won the hearts of the larger group.

We finished off with their chocolate cake which was perfectly gooey in the center.

There is so much more I would come back for. The atmosphere was just spectacular! Beautiful outdoor seating area, suitable for larger groups or small tables. Good music and great vibes.

All in all I’m just upset that I didn’t come try this place sooner. Definitely going to be a staple of mine moving forward.

If you go ask for Mike (Big Chicago Bears fan). You’re in the best hands with him!”

“This is my go-to spot with my cousin and some girlfriends. We usually get the mushroom pizza and the garlic bread knot. The drinks are always great (we alternate between their cocktails and the wines). We especially love the outdoor patio area—the ambiance is nice and relaxed. It's a spot that we will definitely come back to again and again.”

“This place for years has been my all time favorite. The service is unbelievably fast, welcoming and of top notch and respectful. The food is always fresh and the chefs you
Can tell are very passionate on what they do and the hold the Japanese craft to a high regard. I spoke to the manager he carries himself with his culture and pride very high. He is so incredibly kind and respectful. The restaurant really is a sight to behold and truly a gem in the United States. I drive an hour there without hesitation. As far as I’m concerned there is no place like it. Until next time 🙏”

“The pasta was delicious, but we had to wait 15 minutes to be acknowledged, and when they did take our order, it was for everything and they “ran out of bread we run out all the time” at 7pm on a saturday. Restaurant 101: greet guests quickly, offer them some wine / drinks, even if you’re delayed on taking their order. Also offer more salad options or appetizers and we would’ve easily ordered dessert if it was offered.”

“My wife and I went to the Grove in Los Angeles last night and we had dinner at "Sogno Toscana," an it was outstanding. It was perfect in every way; great food, great drinks, outstanding and friendly staff, beautiful location, etc. I love Italian food but I can't think of one Italian restaurant that I like, until "Sogno Toscano." The food was outstanding, and there was so much more we saw go by that we can't wait to go back and try. And the drinks were outstanding. I love martini's and they served the best martini I've ever had. Giacomo was our server and took great care of us. He's from Italy and "Sogno Toscana" brought him to America when they opened their New York restaurant, and now he's in LA for this new restaurant. Although very busy, the entire staff were very fun to be around, and most of them are Italian which is also great.”

“Absolutely loved this place! The cinnamon rolls are outstanding — perfectly soft, buttery, and not overly sweet. The scones are excellent as well, and the cookies are honestly some of the best I’ve had in a long time.

What really makes the experience even better is the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind.

If you’re in Santa Monica and enjoy great pastries, this place is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be coming back for those cinnamon rolls!”

“As someone with dietary restrictions, I am so happy I can eat here now that they offer VEGAN CREAM CHEESE! The best bagels in LA. Get the gravlax works it is insanely delicious”

“Best food ever. Best staff ever. My daughter suffered a medical emergency at the WeHo location. The manager and staff were beyond kid and helpful. Not that I recommend having a seizure at a restaurant, but Pizzana handled it beautifully. I do love their food. Authentic, fresh and delicious. Their gluten free pizza is the best in town.♥️”

“Sunday brunch was amazing. the smoked salmon eggs Benedict were some of the best we have ever had. the location is ideal definitely get an ocean facing room. The staff catered our every need. We haven't even checked out yet and I believe we're about to book our next stay.”

“Beyond expectations! Best meal & service in at least 10 years. I’ll be back!”

“Brothers Sushi is a must. Make a reservation and you can’t go wrong with anything you order.”

“Wow. What a hidden gem! I almost didn’t want to leave a review because I wanted to keep it to myself. Leena is such a joy and KNOWS her wine! The music the ambiance, every detailed is absolutely tensed to! Can’t wait to come back again!”
