“Amazing bar Lisa is the best her CSA skills r the best, and she made my day was here having a drink with my father in memory of his birthday, and just wanted to think about nothing else but him, but her presence and attentiveness were off the charts made me dig deep, memories of my father's words came back flowing and it's no doubt it was because of you Lisa, thank you!!“

“Great place to chill and watch live music! Cool, unpretentious patrons, and the food is damn good too. I recommend The End Burger and the Italian sandwich (I forget the name), just delicious. One day I'm definitely going to try The Holy Grail (smoked meats platter)...!“

“Never had a bad meal or service!“

“This is a nice little place clean and classy, the bartenders are excellent! The bartenders are nice and attentive, the dj is great! Plays some really good music the whole night I definitely recommend this place and I will be coming back myself.“

“Muy buena comida y económica“

“Bazille is an in-house restaurant inside of Nordstrom. It's located on the second level of the store in the women's lingerie section (which is a little odd). The menu selection is superb as well as their craft cocktails. I recommend the flank steak which is served with roasted potatoes and asparagus. The homemade rolls are delicious! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating options.“

“A classic Japanese hostess club located in the East Torrance area. If you can get past the private exterior, the experience is really unique. Basically, you go in to have conversations with well educated and pretty women. Although the women are stunning, this experience is clean and more about having a fantasy date than anything else.

It was pricey, but not as scary as I expected. The food was not really worth talking about (some snacks from Daiso?) but there’s a full bar. Worth checking out for an authentic Japanese experience!“

“It is a great place to have a few beers and sing with friends. The songs could be better but when you are with the right people you will have fun no matter what. The servers were all very nice and helpful. They have darts and a bar too if you dont want to karaoke. All in all, second time coming here and singing my lungs out. Two thumbs up!“

“I'm gluten free so I ordered the shrimp tacos to be grilled instead of fried and they were able to accommodate that and they tasted delicious. They also had really good guacamole. I came during lunch so I wasn't able to try any out their cocktails but they have a huge selection of.

Dietary restrictions: I'm gluten free and they're able to accommodate requests to make sure you're meal is safe“

“This is my second time here in about 3 weeks and I am still a huge fan. Had a few beers at $3 that were served in a cold crisp glass. Enjoyed the Backyard Classic burger cooked to order. It came out hot and fresh. Great place!!“
