“Simply delicious, we enjoy sunday brunch!“

“The food was very good. I dined solo and had chicken liver mousse, the yellowtail crudo, the peach and tomato burrata salad, and the crab cake. The mousse was rich and interestingly paired with pickled blackberries and honeycomb. The crudo was delicious with the refreshing citrus. The salad too felt very fresh and like I was holding on to late summer. The crab cake was good, the sauce had a nice balance of spice and sweetness, it was very salty which is not unexpected with crab. The service was kind and attentive. I was very pleased with my experience and would return again if I'm back in Santa Monica.“

“Malama polo restaurant is best�Highly recommend for all.“

“Love Saltie Girl, ambience is warm staff welcoming and all the seafood is so creative - ive had the clam Chowder which comes with marbled potatoes crispy bacon on top and atleast 3 clams in the shell some of the best ive ever had. The fish & chips is divine with perfectly crispy fish and crispy and pillowy soft fries. Oysters were fresh and the bone in dover sole sublime - great drinks too my mom loved her totos straight up martini. All in all bit expensive but worth every cent while fining there or ordering in“

“Excellent food and fantastic service😊“

“The food and the atmosphere are AMAZING“

“海鲜很新鲜，非常棒的用餐体验！“

“Great food , excellent customer service and friendly I will stop by all the time, because food are delicious 🤤“

“The sushi here is amazing for the price!! And the katsu chicken was also so delicious !! I would suggest checking out yama!! The reason why I gave it a 4 stars and not a 5 star is because the space is super small, and it does get overwhelming! I had a rude experience with a customer, they don’t know how to say excuse me lol. (I got the Cali roll with the salmon avocado roll!) I also asked for eel sauce:)!!“

“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…“

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

“When they say spicy it really is! We were at Monkish down the street and wanted some ceviche or aguachile and saw this place as we drove down the road. We went with the shrimp aguachile and were warned it was spicy. They weren’t wrong but it was SO GOOD. We got the 12 ounce size with 4 tostadas and it was perfect to split for two people. Washed down with a cucumber and lime agua fresca it was the perfect combo!“

“Lobster Bisque in a bread bowl!“

“The signature dish is the crab in sauce, which comes in medium and large sizes. medium is two crabs with two bowls of rice, and large is three crabs. Compared with other Korean restaurants, the sauce crab taste is mild, and it will not be salty enough to explode in the middle of the meal and cannot continue to eat. The crab is fresh, not fishy, and the meat is firm, not squishy. The crab meat is also very full, the crab legs are full, there is no empty shell crab. The sea urchin rice is a little smaller but the sea urchin is enough. regular sea urchins are not particularly sweet, but they are fresh and worth the price. The sea urchin Rice bowl combo will be served with steamed eggs, runny eggs and two prawns in sauce. Raw marinated salmon rice is amazing to me. The salmon is marinated just enough to be flavorful, but not overly salty. The portions are generous. You can eat two bites of each piece of salmon.“

“There was a lovely engagement last night in front of Prosecco’s . Young love, and she said, “Yes!”“

“Great night at BOA in West Hollywood. The Cajun cowboy steak was the highlight, with a bold, spicy crust that added real character without overpowering the beef. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, and the corn was a sweet counterpoint to the heavier dishes.

The ambiance was fantastic, with a lively, stylish atmosphere that made the whole evening feel special. Our server was awesome too, attentive and friendly without hovering. I'd absolutely come back.“

“Seafood quality is better than supermarket quality, and of course this means you’ll pay more for it. The cafe food is great but very pricey coming from someone visiting from out of state. We got the poke bowl, the calamari and clam chowder, the lobster roll, and the Dungeness crab pasta. There is also a good selection of alcohol and Asian sauces as well as vegetables.“

“I took my husband for Father’s Day brunch/lunch at our favorite Italian restaurant here in the Palisades and as always it did not disappoint. It never does. He loved his steak and eggs, steak was Devine and I loved my chick pea soup. Always have the panne cotta and the cherry gelato and an espresso in their delightful patio and you’ve been to Italy!“

“L&E is my go-to neighborhood spot. So lucky that I am steps (well, two flights of Silver Lake steps) away. I just threw my birthday there with my closest girlfriends and their staff made the night so special. The food was incredible, the vibes were immaculate - always have an amazing time at L&E.“

“Was really excited to try this place with a galpal recently, and while the space itself is no doubt gorgeous, found the service and food a bit lackluster. We waited a long time to be greeted and get water once sat, even though the restaurant was only partially full - so much so the server did apologize once they did show up. But then we proceeded to wait a long time again to place our order, and then had to flag down our server after waiting a long time to get another glass of wine mid-meal. Overall, it was a fine experience, but was really shocking to be charged a credit card fee on the bill. I can't imagine folks are paying cash often at this price point, and I've never ever been passed a 3% credit card fee at a nice, sit-down restaurant.“

“This place is soooo EPIC!! So epic the cast of Parasite movie ate here after winning the #Oscars! Nackchi bokum was the best I ever ate but everything was authentic and delicious!! 🦑👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️“

“Great service and the food is very good highly recommended“

“Me fascinan los camarones gigantes y su langosta 😋“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“Top notch all the way around. Was our first time here and came highly recommended. Our expensive exceeded our high expectations. Great decor, great staff, great drinks, great menu. Fantastic.“

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

“Amazing fresh & tasty seafood tacos!!!“

“Excellent service great ambience ‘ they also have the amazing tequila card with a variety of tequilas . P“

“The best seafood boil we have ever had. My twins are allergic to seafood and this is the first restaurant that was able to accommodate my girls. They made us a “no seafood” seafood boil with potatoes, corn, sausage and boiled eggs with their amazing capt loui sauce. I know our request is unusual but I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our girls dream come true they've always wanted to try a seafood boil without their throat getting itchy and this is the first ever without any cross contamination. If you are looking for a seafood boil restaurant that can accommodate allergies, vegans, vegetarian. I highly recommend this restaurant. I also want to add that they had free floss pick by the bathrooms. I thought this was a great touch! Thank you so much for your amazing customer service.“

“The first time I ever had a lobster roll was here. I AM GLAD it was here. Maybe it was just the bartenders turn at the music I dont know. They were playing mid 90's 2000's rock the whole time, banger after banger! I was looking for a quiet place to eat, but this place took me by surprise so I stayed. The Lobster roll was amazing, warm and Buttery. NOT CHEWY! Beer selection was awesome too. You gotta try the crab and jalapeen dip, also the calamari was delicious. I will be coming back! If you want the dive bar feel with fun employees this is the place.“

“Amazing food and experience, servers were helpful and friendly especially because I had NO IDEA how to do this. You get water and spices/ sauces, meats and proteins and veggies, and make your own dish. So cool and the food was just incredible.“

“Every time I go to this restaurant, even when it's packed, the service is always excellent. Yangzhou Restaurant is almost always overflowing with diners, but honestly, the wait is worth it every single time. I also really enjoy looking at the celebrity photos hanging on the walls; they infuse the restaurant with the classic charm of an old-school Chinatown eatery“

“Absolutely Phenomenal! Ann and her staff were excellent. The food was perfect. The night was perfect. The restaurant is perfect. You get what you pay for and everything in life. This is well worth it.“

“​Beyond the food, the service was attentive and fast. The staff made sure we had plenty of bibs, gloves, and napkins without having to ask, and the lively, unpretentious atmosphere made for a great casual meal.
​If you are looking for bold, messy, flavor-packed seafood done right, this spot is well worth the visit.“

“First time and it will be many more visits! The ambiance, divine food & amazing service surpassed my expectations! My friend recommended we go and from appetizers, main course and the dessert 😘❤️😁“

“i think i’ve been here a half dozen times easy and i thought i wrote this review and was coming in to edit just in case i missed it.

Everything is great here but crudo with jalapeno oil, passionfruit and ginger granita IS the item that you must order. So exceptional that I’m going to make it at home. Spoon it for the best experience.

Hush puppies, clams casino, oysters obv, fish baked in paper, tuna frites etc all great.

Very enjoyable for an extended sit down. If you think you want to sit for hours and enjoy friends, conversations and food, this is one of the spots.“

“Wow. Blown away by the service and the quality of the food. Amazing. Will definitely revisit when in LA 🌟“

“the variety of veggies and seafood made an amazing broth, then the addition of lamb, pork and beef made this meal even better.. soo good“
