“I recently dined at Urban Plates in Torrance, CA, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance enveloped me in a warm and inviting atmosphere that promised a delightful dining experience. However, what truly set this visit apart was the extraordinary service provided by our server, Danny.Danny was the epitome of professionalism mixed with genuine care and attentiveness. Not only did he make expert recommendations that catered perfectly to our taste preferences, but he also went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our meal was to our liking. His attention to detail was impeccable, and his friendly demeanor added a special touch to our evening.The food, as always, was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Urban Plates' commitment to quality and sustainability is evident in every bite. But it was Danny's exceptional service that transformed our meal into an unforgettable experience. His dedication to exceeding customer expectations is a rare find, and it's servers like him that make Urban Plates stand out in the bustling culinary scene of Torrance.I am incredibly thankful for Danny's outstanding service and cannot recommend Urban Plates in Torrance, CA, highly enough. If you're looking for a dining experience that combines delicious food with exceptional service, look no further. Be sure to ask for Danny, and you'll be in for a treat!“

We ordered the Erika's strawberry blue salad, lemon herbed chicken and the grilled prime flat iron steak. The meat was cooked perfectly. We loved the mashed potatoes and wonderful asparagus. The salad was crisp and colorful. We're looking forward to visiting the tavern in the near future. The Local Kitchen has been added to our favorites' list!“

Food was SO GOOD. I recommend the Korean BBQ wings and parm fries. Fries were crispy and just enough parm sauce on top, garnished with a blend of herbs. Karaoke started just as I was leaving, but I could easily stay and have a great time doing that. Best local Tavern, in my opinion.Parking: There are tons of parking options right out front.“

Misto Caffe & Bakery American • $$
24558 Hawthorne Blvd, Torrance

“Their bread is tasty, it comes with a few types. The brown bread had sunflower seeds. The dipping sauce for the bread was great and nicely garlic-forward. The Ahi Tuna Tartare was good. It was very light, I didn't eat the wonton. There were little bits of sweet pickled peppers in the tartare, which was more ceviche style. The Baja Salad was so good. The dressing was nice and smokey, not your average restaurant chipotle. I added some ground pepper for taste.Misto's Mix Grill had unseasoned mashed potatoes. It was necessary to do something to the potatoes to make them edible. Choices were salt, pepper, and the garlic oil for the bread. They do offer sauces when serving entrees. We did not ask for any.“

“I planned a Memorial event for my mom at the Depot in Torrance and I can't say enough about how wonderful and accommodating they were throughout the entire process, which made it easier on me to wrangle while also mourning the loss. From the first time I called Chef Michael to inquire about possibly hosting an event he was incredibly kind, empathetic and straightforward on how to arrange for an event. On the day of the event, the Kimono room was set up and clean, and when we had several unexpected guests, the staff quickly set up an extra table for them and were incredibly kind with impeccable service. The meal was family-style with a variety of things so people could pick and choose what they wanted. I didn't get to eat much of my meal as I was up and down trying to coordinate people, but I did enjoy a delicious croissant type of roll and the pumpkin or squash soup which I thought was delicious.Asit relates to events, they have easels you can use, and microphones for speaking, and the cost to host the event is solely for the food and beverage, there is no cost for the room and you have your own private space for an extended period of time. The chef also came around and spoke to guests during the luncheon which made it feel really special.I also want to call out Brett who was our main host and led the servers during the lunch who was personable, kind, patient, funny and really made the luncheon special.I appreciate the Depot and all they did to support us at this time and would 100% consider hosting another event there in the future (hopefully something unrelated to the loss of a family member.)“

“I loved, loved, loved the veggie burger here. It was NOT Beyond Beef. (I'm a vegetarian and don't like the "real" meat taste of Beyond Beef).We ate dinner here after a long stressful day of bicycle riding, with some pleasant beach trails but also scary busy streets (PCH etc.). We were really hungry and hoped for a good meal.The veggie burger, as I said, was delicious - one of the best I've had. My partner got the meat burger with cheese - also fabulous. The sweet potato fries AND the regular fries were also very very tasty! Service was great and - since we were there in the early evening - it was a quiet wonderful atmosphere. All in all, the food was high quality and we enjoyed our relaxing and tasty dinner!“

“I've lived in the South Bay all my life and never knew this place existed, sort of a little hidden jem. I had the infamous Matzo Ball soup. The broth and soup itself was delicious! The Matzo ball didn't have much flavor, and I found the texture hard to stomach. I also had the grilled ham and cheese sandwich with fries. The fries were perfectly crunchy and unsalted. The sandwich was amazing, and the bread is what made it. It had some sort of fennel seed. Service was fair but prices were too high, in my opinion.“

“I'll admit the Gram influenced my decision as I was craving Meditterranean, but the Hubs preferred Italian. So naturally, we agreed to check out Food Culture LA! (Note: there are only just a few street parking spaces up front. )From the exterior, there's an interesting mural on the wall and a long outdoor patio to the side. The inside is very clean, so we chose to eat inside. The cashier was very helpful. I ordered the Gyro Mix Plate with Gyros, Steak and Chicken,it turned out to be a really great portion. The Hubs ordered the Spaghetti Clams Alle Vongole and we both loved it!We'll definitely come back to try more!“

“Typically wouldn't leave a review for here since every time I've come it's typically nice service, the food is mostly always great as well, and well the vibe is just what you expect at a Mimi's on a Saturday morning. Saying all that, I was so impressed with the way my server was today! He was a younger guy so I figured it'll either be good or bad service. I was wrong, he was beyond good! We went with his recommendation to do the onions and peppers to our breakfast potato & it was delicious. He didn't constantly bug us while we were talking either so that was a nice feeling to not have your waiter make you feel rushed. 5 stars to whoever hired this guy, because you can tell this guy was made to move up. Great job Mimi's ! Omg the most important part our server was Edgar !“

I ordered 5 breakfast burritos and watched them be made from scratch by the awesome chef. We got 3 bacon and 2 sausage. They were a huge hit. The ingredients were fresh and incredibly tasty. The only thing better was the fresh scratch salsa that went with the burritos. The shop is located on the outside of an office building. It has a great chill vibe to grab all sorts of goodness. When I'm in the South Bay, I'll be a yummy.“
