“I like this place. They have a great wine selection and their charcuterie and small plates are delicious. The Marcona almonds are well flavored/seasoned. The olives are also well-marinated. Their meat board contains delicious selections of cured meats and cheese with some sweet jam. All of these items pair nicely with their Chilean red, which is a reasonably priced and tasty bottle. I've only eaten inside but they have a nice patio in the back. The inside is dim and cozy. This is a great spot for a date night or a night out with friends. It's not cheap by any means, but they deliver solid service, food, and wine. Enjoy!“
“3rd visit - Obsessed! Innovate cuisine and meticulous cocktails at the level everywhere else wishes they could. Negroni - All time fav because the bitter punches hard (sometimes too hard). This is the best I've had! Bitter and sweet balance exquisitely - not brusque. Crispy Potatos - Well done, but makes you wonder if size is right. Close to being a french fry - but large! Crispy outside, soft inside, well seasoned. Mildly curious aioli pair well. Not perfect. Maybe needs another sauce? Seared Hokkaido Scallops - Scared green curry would overpower delicate scallops, but texture remains in tact. Curry pulls out creaminess. Delicate, but flavorful. Warm and clean. Scallion paratha is so necessary to give heavy depth! Cheesecake - Yooo!! Creme Brule is my fav and this is rivaling it! Bright and tart while velvety with deep. Not heavy! You'll regret not getting. Martini - A must every visit! I love olives, but tried lemon this time and loved how big of a difference it made! Excited to try gibson/onion next!“
“Most excellent experience and food was perfect. We had the duck eggrolls and the ricotta stuffed squash blossoms as starters, both had a delish specialty drink. I had the house burger with 3 different meats ground in including wagyu. Was done perfectly med rare. No room for dessert this time. Will def go back. Service was nice, we sat at the bar. All in all a great experience.“

“Pretty good! I would go back to share with my other crew. Your fresh pasta dishes are good! The lobster pappardelle is really good! I want an order to myself! haha. Your mushroom fungi trecce is good. I don't like creamy sauce but this one is good. Hard to find a good bolognese pasta, but this one is good. The hamachi is good, nice tempura element. Lobster roll is excellent!! The family loves the lamb chops!! I am not a dessert person but your sticky toffee pudding is good!!“
“I would think that they have same ol' same ol' okay food, but it's genuinely delicious. We had the katsu burger with fries, honey truffle fried chicken and two drinks (hh menu). Everything was really good. The chicken was so good and crispy. The burger was so filling and loved the coleslaw in the burger. I came on a Saturday evening before happy hour ended at 6:30pm. I tried the katsu burger with fries and enjoyed it a lot.“
“Had a girls night at Broken Compass, and we had a blast! We did have to wait for a table to open up (maybe 20 minutes), but they had an indoor lounge area where we could order drinks from the bar.Drinks were great! You’ll find unique cocktails from the menu and you can still order OG tiki drinks such as a Painkiller, Blue Hawaiians, and more.I tried the smash burger, per our waitress’s recommendation. I’m not a pickle girly, and unfortunately, that’s all I tasted when eating it. My fault for not reading the ingredients! Paired it with fries topped with Cajun seasoning and with a thousand island dressing. They were SO good!Every staff member we encountered was so hospitable and kind, and went above and beyond to serve us!Dietary restrictions: GF options!Parking: No designated parking lot, but wasn’t difficult to find street parking.“
“Solid American Restaurant serving up good burgers and drinks!They have a solid tap list for beer!House chips are crunchy and addicting.Their fries are crispy and solid with the aioli sauce!Burgers are supposedly American wagyu! It was a nice melt in your mouth patty. The toppings are something serious. Amazing bacon, pretty good mushrooms, delicious camerlized onions. It tasted even better in the toaster oven the next day.Service was good, they were busy waiting many tables. Donavan was helpful and attentive.Nice interior decoration. Good feelingI would come back again for the burger and beer!“
“What a nice surprise to discover this adorable restaurant not far from the Burbank Airport. Cute decor and wonderful presentation of their food, including the complimentary corn muffin drizzled with honey. I had the French Dip which was yummy. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in Burbank!“
“I recently moved to the area and this was our first time at The Proper Restaurant but it most certainly won't be our last. Everything ... and I mean everything was excellent! I started out with the Proper Clover Club cocktail and it was so refreshing and delicious. My husband and I then shared the white chicken chili which was equally delicious. For our entrees, my husband ordered the miso salmon which was out of this world and I got the chicken piccata. The chicken was cooked perfectly, lightly breaded and the pasta was tossed in a wonderful lemonny piccata. I also had a Malbec which was so smooth, I wanted to order the whole bottle (but alas, I did not). And since everything else was so good, we couldn't leave without ordering dessert -- the warm butter toffee cake. My mouth is still watering thinking about it. I can't wait to go back to The Proper Restaurant!“
“By far my favorite bar/restaurant to go to in Burbank. The food is great and their draft brews are incredible, especially for the price. Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else in Burbank. The staff is warm, welcoming, and always happy to chat. It’s always a pleasure to drink or dine here. Gonna miss you BJs. “
“The last few times I came here I always ordered breakfast items (breakfast burrito, French toast, etc) they’re good but pretty mid. Today we decided to give this place another go and was pleasantly surprised. The Pancho and Pesto pizzas were so good and the portions are very large. Tofu bowl, chicken shawarma, and chicken pesto sandwich were also amazing! Service is ok. Despite it being busy as always we were seated immediately. I do like the music they always play, it really sets the vibe.“
“Great spot to go with friends for lunch or to take the kids on the weekend. They have a great front patio and full bar, a back room with TVs and games for kids and a back patio that's more private. I've never hosted an event here, but seems like a great spot for a birthday party with friends on a Saturday or Sunday - Margs and tacos and lots of space for socializing. Also very kid friendly! They have a great kids menu with options for picky eaters, frozen lemonade etc. Recommend the mexi cali taco and the Philly cheese steak! So good!“
“This is one of my favorite brunch places in LA! The loco moco hits everytime and the matcha pancakes are something I order every time I eat here. Their pancakes are also something that my friends and I love to share. Service is fairly quick, I'd say food arrives 10 min after seating. They do get busy in the morning, so be sure to come early!“
“We've come here a few times and the food and drinks are generally pretty good. Decent ambiance and looks like it was originally a house that was converted into a restaurant. Making reservations can be a bit of a process. Rarely will someone pick up the phone, but there is a way to make reservations online through their website which does require a credit card deposit and for you to sign up with this reservations app. Some items on the menu are a bit overpriced as some other reviewers mentions, but we would definitely come back.“
“This is what happens when you support shitty businesses like Tendergreens studio city. Mazza actually had great food, nice ambiance, kind staff, and good music too. They didn't deserve to close! We need to do better. Never forgiving this community for actively supporting the business next door that has numerous health issues and bad service. I hope Mazza can come back one day.“
“We had our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner here last week and it was truly wonderful. The food was fantastic, brilliantly served, more than ample. The atmosphere was gorgeous, filled with flowers not billed to us. Marietta, the co-owner, was totally easy to work with, more than fullfilled our expectations. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant for a superb dinner, lunch, or special event.5 stars all around.“

“Although I’m writing this review for this location, this is just my review for The Stand as a restaurant overall. That said:This place is great. Their burgers aren’t world class or anything, but they’re a far cry better than any fast food joint not named In N Out (and even then I’m debating if The Stand burgers are better). Fries are crisp, seasoned well, and the entire meal comes in an adorable little tray. The hospitality is also something to take note of. Soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by a TM with, “Hi! Welcome in.” That by itself shows this place treats you not as a customer but as a guest. This is the Mendocino Farms of burger joints in my opinion. Nice sit down place with a number placard. They deliver your food. Everything is a la carte so it will be a tad expensive if you want the full shebang of entree, side, and drink. But for what you’re paying for, the food is for sure worth it and they do ensure guest satisfaction here. No need to bus your table because they’ll do it for you. They even have a sign that literally asks you not to clear off your table and just let a TM handle it. Great music selection. TVs provide something to look at and watch while you wait for your food or eat. A large menu. From steak bowls to salads to sandwiches to burgers with a build your own burger option. Even the desserts are just something to really sink your teeth into. I don’t frequent The Stand a lot but whenever I do, it’s pretty great. Great food for the price you pay, best customer service, and just an overall pleasant vibe. For The Stand in general…Grade: A-“
“As always, what a beautiful venue. The food was great and the service excellent as always. Good for them, the place was packed so it was a bit louder than usual but not bad compared to many restaurants where you can't even hear others at your table. Wonderful experience. Our dog loved it as well.“
“We were greeted by our server comma bartender Nick. He was friendly helpful and Johnny on the spot. The Ambiance was very nice. We really enjoyed the feel of the place and all of the people that we encountered were very friendly. The food was fairly average for what we had. I should say for what I had my wife really did enjoy the three taco plate. I had the cheeseburger and I would give it a c. I had ordered it medium rare it was on the more well done side of medium. And I felt that the bread to meet ratio was not very good. We will be back however we have been to other granville's and like the food in general. It may have been just a bad day for me or for the burger:-).“
“1st time here, we had the BBQ ribs and the sliders. The ribs are amazing, flavorful, and meaty. We also tried the bread pudding, and omg, it was amazing. I recommend it. Next time, I'll have 2 so I don't have to share with my wife. Overall it was a great experience. Thank you Lorena.“
“We enjoyed everything we ate during our dinner at The Front Yard. Be prepared to spend some $$$, but the quality of the food supports the rate (especially in LA). I had the brussel sprouts, 12-minute cheese biscuit, the filet (with tasty mushroom sauce), and smashed fingerlings. I wasn't wild about the fingerlings, but everything else was SUPER yummy. I also enjoyed the blackberry cocktail, and one of the cabs they had on their wine-by-the-glass menu. My fellow diners enjoyed the deviled eggs (not my thing), the bacon-cheese biscuits, the tagliatelle, short rib, and mushroom flatbread. They also had the strawberry cocktail and the Garland 1972. Everyone really enjoyed their meals, and it was a nice place to catch up with old friends while we ate. I would highly recommend getting a reservation, as it looked like there were quite a few folks waiting for tables when we arrived.“
“Firefly holds a special place in my heart. My best friend and I rekindled our friendship here and have been going strong for 8 years. We decided to come here with friends for Easter Sunday and they took the best care of us. Even though we had a slight mishap regarding our food, the staff more than made up for it by comping that item, replacing it, and offering us a fabulous desert spread on the house. It was still a lovely experience and we'll both be back for more good times. Thank you!“
“I saw some comments about “not great food” and absolutely disagree with them! Among great cocktails and lots of draft beer variations they have very delicious food - we got artichoke deep and blue cheese burger - all was super delicious! They have a patio too for big crowds. Will come back for sure!“
“The O'Cado Burger was a 10/10. The vegan crabcakes had good presentation but it’s missing some flavor. The peach ice tea was unsweetened and would’ve been better with sweetness.The staff & hospitality is top notch.Clean, nice vibe and good music.“A” rating for food inspection.“
“The UC Bahn Mi chicken sandwich & adult grilled cheese 10/10.Both were extremely excellent. Unique in flavor/quality, perfect meal size portioning and competitively priced. 10 out of 10 points for both sandwiches.Urbane Cafe has a excellent variety of healthy food options for all dietary restrictions.This location also had, excellent customer service, a clean/new establishment environment and a polished feel.The sandwiches were still warm 15 minutes later when we got home and the smell of the sandwiches in the car while driving home really stood out to both of us.First I will speak of their new "UC Bahn Mi" sandwich which I ordered for myself. It is extremely unique in it's flavor profile. The portioning was perfect, the amount of sauce on the sandwich was perfect, the sandwich was filling yet felt like a healthy light option.Tastewise, my tongue felt this sandwich was an artful expression of local and exotic world flavors combined perfectly at once.Hands down, I would recommend getting this sandwich over all others if this is your first time coming.Also, all sandwiches come with a quality side salad of spring mix, a couple Mandarin orange pieces, feta cheese sprinkle and balsamic oil and vinaigrette mixed dressing on the side.It's my first time coming here and the food is extremely fresh and the flavor combinations in their sandwiches are spot on. During our visit we purchased two sandwiches so I cannot speak of anything other than that. However, if the food that we got is a good representation of the unique flavor profiles of the rest of their food then I would rate their menu an A+. I give top scores for presentation, flavor profile, unique combinations, freshness, menu options, and customer service. Also, apparently you can get extra sandwich sauce on the side which comes in a pretty large portion cup.We placed a to-go order at the register around 2:30p they are fairly busy & it took about 12 minutes for our food. They bake their sandwich bread inside what looks like a large brick type open oven as a pizza place would do. When you order a sandwich, your bread is pretty much baked to order as you watch. They're able to do this as the sandwiches use a flat bread style.You place your order at the register they give you a number and you can wait anywhere in the cafe where they will bring you your food regardless if it is for here to go.It appeared as though it was the manager who was filling the roll of expediter, inspecting, packing & running completed orders to guests.I have to hand it to the person that was handling this at 2:27pm 3/8/24. This gentleman was extremely friendly, gracious, professional, warm, welcoming & part of why I would come back sooner.Please, pass on to him how noticeable good he is at the things that he does.I left feeling like I had made a good decision to go there and I would like to come back. The guests in this location appeared well put together with a mix of middle and lower classes.My final comment is not one directed to this establishment itself. My only complaint, if you can call it a complaint, is the general cost of eating out. The final bill with two sandwiches, each coming with a small side salad automatically was a competitive $24 which is a tidbit too high for me. The cash register uses a system to ring you where you are automatically asked to accept or deny leaving a tip to which paying customers likely never appreciate.The location seemed steadily busy at 1:30 in the afternoon on a weekday but not so busy where it was uncomfortable or a noticeable wait for food. There is plenty of seating inside and out with umbrellas outside and a fenced-in patio which is across the street from a park. It's very nice location where Inside the establishment I saw a nurse on her computer on her lunch break, families, professionals on lunch breaks and just local people or couples out getting lunch here.The seating arrangement inside is extremely variable from cushioned bench, booth, chair and high barstool style of seating options. The patio is very larg“
“This is my new go to place for all of my salads and healthier meal options. It always seems super quiet, so I hope that they are getting lots of business as I do not want this place to close down as the next closest place is Miles and Miles away.“
“I went on a pretty busy Saturday night, the wait wasn't bad surprisingly. The service was short and straight to the point. Food: The burger was very good and fresh. The pickles... amazing! Parking: Very tight and limited. Free parking in LA you can't complain too much. The seating inside is comfy and inviting.“
“This has been the second time coming here, but first review. The food is really flavorful and filling. However, I dropped it a star (half star, really) because the sliders we got were a soggy at the bottom upon arrival. Easily fixed with a charred bun. However, the staff has always been chill and kind. Not bad vibes. There is plenty of space to sit. The pool table is a nice addition too. The beer selection is also nice as they have their own beer, but also from other socal breweries. There are seltzer and wine options too, which I nice if you are not into beer.“
“I can't say anything bad about this place... The owner has a good thing going on. The chicken is breaded PERFECTLY and seasoned well. The chicken itself is TENDER and JUICY... I'm so glad I found this spot. Every time I'm in the area I stop by during my work break. Seriously some of the best chicken I've ever had in my life. He hooks me up. He gives a good amount of food. Love this place.“
“Food was amazing! I ordered the avocado toast with 2 poached eggs and side salad. I picked off of my daughter's plates, chili cheese fries and panini sandwich and it was really good. I ordered the Mexicali coffee and although it was good, I think I will try a different coffee next time. Service was amazing. They sat us down quick and were attentive and helpful. We sat outside since the inside was completely full but I'm glad we got seated outside. It felt more intimate since we were a party of 10. My kids really liked it as well so we will definitely be going back :)“
“Amazing atmosphere. The food is so good, so fresh. I come here few times a week and I am always satisfied. I love the vibes and the employees are all so nice. Amazing service great experience. If you are looking for a casual night out this is it!“
“We are out of town staying at a hotel near by and walked past this beautiful restaurant. It was a nice night so we sat outside under the fire lamps and it was absolutely beautiful.We were sat right away and a waitress came to us in a timely manner.I ordered the Cheesesteak Egg Rolls and they were delicious like a deconstructed cheesesteak sandwich served with a hot mustard, a chili sauce and I got a side of ranch. They were so delicious.My wife got a Cesar salad with salmon which was also very good and my son ordered a Hickory BBQ burger, his specific words were “wow” that’s a really good burger. I also ordered the watermelon lime seltzer and it was absolutely delicious. If you are in the area give this place a chance you won’t be disappointed.Parking: There is street parking but it seems to always be crowded and then there are parking garage.“
“Decided to have breakfast in the area and I Looked up a couple spots around me. Found a lot of interesting one but Jumpin Java grabbed my attention. It's located Right on Ventura, cute outside and indoor seating, feel good oldies tunes playing in the speakers. All the staff here are really nice and super attentive. Service was phenomenal and up to par. They have a huge menu. It's not only a breakfast spot they also have a lunch menu. Pretty much they have something for any cravings you might be having. I ordered the grits and link with a side of house potatoes. Absolutely delicious. I was more than satisfied with my choice, the servings are huge! I tried some of the French toast. Fire! Everyone liked this place. We really enjoyed our experience here at Jumpin Java. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for good breakfast joint. We will returning soon. Thanks you !!!“
“On Sunday we went for brunch. The good was ok. I got the chicken and waffles and my friend got the salmon Benedict. The food was average. Nothing really special with the meal. The bar was great. This place is much better for drinks than for food.“
“What a cute little hidden gem in the down town Montrose area. We were starving after a visit to Descanso Gardens and this place had photos of a cute patio seating area so we took the chance! The food was surprisingly very delicious! We shared a Reuben and a Cuban sandwich. We were disappointed to see no French fries, so we splurged on a hot pretzel! OMG it was so huge we took half of it home with us. Service was interesting- it was one bartender taking care of 3-4 tables of guests while we were there (plus a few take out orders). He did refill our drinks and checked on us twice quickly as he was grabbing stuff for other tables. We are pretty low maintenance so we were fine with it! I suspect this place is pretty packed after work for a drink and appetizers!“
“Honestly this is the best time in town to relax, have a drink and a bite to eat. Everything about this place is class. They make great strong drinks and the food is better than you would expect. Not to mention their happy hour is definitely the best in the area and available from 3-6 m-f. I love their Smash burger and brisket tacos. Their wings and pies are good too. Brian is the best I’m sure you will meet him if you frequent this place like I do. He always makes you feel comfortable and is very friendly and genuine.Great for watching sports even though the vibe isn’t a sports bar. It’s a classy establishment.“
“Cool place! We were there for Sunday brunch on 3/17/24 celebrating a friend’s birthday, he got a free shot! We had the French toast, Brussels sprouts, Cauliflower fried wings, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, all delicious! And the service was excellent! Definitely going back.“
“Every once in an awhile you have an unbelievable waiter and they make your entire week and perspective on life feel better. We just moved to town and had the pleasure of being served by Nikki. We love this place! The food was great the service was exceptional and we will be coming back soon.“
“Second time trying this place and both experiences were great. The service is awesome and the food is amazing. I've tried their steak, short rib, Caesar salad, and chicken- all very tasty. They also have a really good Brussels sprout appetizer. The vibe is nice; not too quiet but not very loud either. Will definitely return...“

“So delish! & location is nice. If you don't like your meat red on the inside, definitely ask for it to be cooked more Well than Rare (didn't realize how Rare mine was until I was already into, so just followed thru)Parking: Free 90 minute parkingWheelchair accessibility: I love that this area is wheel chair accessible“
“The food here is great. They moved recently and I was hesitant to drive the extra distance but it's totally worth it. I think the food is even better at this new spot. Their sauce is amazing, I'd probably buy it in bulk if they sold it.“
“The food, service, and atmosphere are super at turning fork. It has quickly become our favorite local eat as a Studio City resident. Everything on the menu from the pizzas to the fish and chips never disappoint and the servers are excellent!“
“Going to the new deal is always a wonderful treat. The food is delicious. The staff are very kind and attentive and the atmosphere is very cozy yet lively.I will say that their salads are delicious, but the french fries are star spangled awesome, and the cakes, that are homemade by the team, are to die for!!?? Parking: Most areas around are 2 hour free street parking. Just mind the signs as there are street cleaning days! You might need to park further down the street as Magnolia is a popular place to be!“
“You will Love the soup options! Ingredients are very fresh and you can taste it. Feels fancy yet casual. The staff has always been very friendly and reliable here! Deserts range from diet friendly to indulgent.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly, chairs available, some bathroom accommodations available, calm environment with very limited alcohol and no smoking.Wheelchair accessibility: Indoor seating accessible via large entrance ramp, bathrooms accommodate wheelchair size. Outdoor seating is a step down but still enjoyable if you wish to share meals w friends and stay on the sidewalk.“
“A decorated literature themed bar with well-made drinks and decent food. Street parking on a Saturday night was easy. It's a good spot for a private party, but for a fun night out this place seemed quiet and empty otherwise.Not a cheap place to buy drinks, especially when charged $7 for Diet Coke, and another $7 for a refill. I assume it was a mistake, but it bemuses me to pay a cocktail price for soda.Parking: Street parking“
“Went there after work, their happy hour is good. Buy one get one free with tap beers. Blue moon, Hazy IPA and Estrella Jalisco (If you’re Mexican like me) lol. Wings were good, lemon pepper is better than buffalo here. Thanks to our server Eric, got us everything we needed, even water! Haha. Good shot selection too, took one before leaving. Overall good spot to go to, during happy hour at least. Wouldn’t know the atmosphere during the night. Small parking in the back, if you’re lucky like me you’ll find a spot. If not public parking is available at the front of the tavern or a block behind it. Will return when I’m working in the area!“
“Beautiful setting; cabanas and palms and lights on the patio. Free parking in the lot across the street. The hands down best damn pizza (Ozzy's Apizza) in LA. Crispy crust, tomatoey, not pastey sauce and fantastic thick pepperoni. Sausage with a kick. Other pizzas I leave the crust but Ozzy's is maybe the best part. Cocktails are on point.“
“The barcade is a really cool place I give it 3rd place on my top arcade bars 1st being mini boss in sj and 2nd being coin op in sc only because while they did have a lot of game options some games could use some TLC and some unique drinks would be cool. Other than that it's clean and the staff is cool . Would definitely go back.“
“The man who greeted us was so nice and I literally can't express how delicious these sandwiches are.I'm not going to lie, based on some superficial first impressions I didn't think it would be good but damn! So good. The coffee was also amazing! Don't sleep on this place!!!“
“I really like this place! One of the best places to eat in Tujunga. Friendly staff, great food. I also like that they play jazz on the speakers. I recommend the KBBQ Beef Fries and the KBBQ Salad. At their price point I don't think they're trying to be a bargain - but they're fairly priced considering they serve quality food.“
