“New favorite. The yellow Japanese Common tableware plates !“

“Had the best time, Nick was our server and he couldn't have been nicer and made our experience special. It was during lunch time and it was my friend's birthday. They took the time to even give her a sweet card to welcome her back and sent her a delicious desert. And food and drinks were delicious!“

“Great service. steak was good. A but spendy. Enjoyed the atmosphere.“

“I have dined at Meteora many times before and it's usually been excellent however the night that we went, the timing of the courses was notably off and delayed. The couple next to us got there right before and another couple 2 tables down got there after us and they were both 2 entire courses ahead of us. The entire meal lasted 3 hours due to this. There was plenty of staff - we saw staff constantly circulating so I have no idea what happened. When I said something, they were apologetic and offered us more drinks on the house, which I did appreciate, however, I really wasn't planning on such a long dining experience and disliked that we were essentially forgotten for the first half of our time there.“

“Great food and wine with a view“

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

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

“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.“

“Asked the male server if we could sit at a table that had yet to be cleaned. To which he SNAPPED, if it's not cleaned it's not available find a seat at the other tables.

Hunter, the polite server said I'll clean up the table right away. Hunter had a great disposition, polite and professional. Another guest complained about the lack of service to the same server, his absence and had to look for him in the kitchen to express her dissatisfaction in the service to which he shrugged and then asked if she could have condiments brought to her table to which he signed and sarcastically repeated her request.

If you decide to dine here, ask for Hunter and NO ONE ELSE. If she's not available, please take your business elsewhere.“

“Food is always good, very relaxing fun place to eat. Just watch out on when you self check out the tipping system is not correct and was tipping on top of sales tax and the full total. I always tip 18% but what 18% should be was charging 22%.“

“My husband and I usually go during happy hour for their poke nachos and crispy brussel sprouts but have tried a few other things. Everything we've tried has been delicious but occasionally varies in preparation quality. We went on March 18th and ordered the poke nachos but they were not as good. The portion was a lot smaller than usual, so we decided to order another one. The second one came out great (I included a picture of the one prepared correctly) and that's when we realized they left off ingredients from the first one sent. They were still good but it was interesting that the two plates were that different. We didn't mention this to our waiter and I'm sure they would have been accommodating but maybe plates should be checked for quality before they're delivered?

Another note, we usually sit at the bar but we got a table the last time since the bar was packed. We were obviously fine with this but the cleanliness was extremely lacking. The menus had food on them and greasy fingerprints. I'm also not sure why the booths are never wiped down?? The tables are cleaned but the food just lands on the seats. Then you're wondering what else isn't cleaned, look around, and notice all the other spots that aren't wiped down. So gross.“

“Excellent food & location. Very clean. The mimosas are delicious with fresh squeezed orange juice. Staff is very friendly. I will definitely be back!“

“The ambiance, food and service is great! Will be back definitely 💯!“

“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.“

“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.“

“Wonderful partnership with A16, great wine / food pairings, excellent hospitality by all the women to mark 'la festa della donna'.“

“Everything about the dining experience was exceptional!

Ambiance - The best outdoor seating on the street. They constructed some type of canopy, so that you were fully outside, yet covered.

Service. — Very friendly and prompt. The hostess took our reservation, gave an accurate wait time estimate…and maintained friendly eye contact as we waited. And our server was quite friendly and helpful.

Food — That is the main reason this restaurant gets a rare 5-star personal rating. The three of us chose from a wide array of dishes. EACH was so delicious that we were compelled to share with the others. Adult daughter ordered the Salmon pizza, amd raved. Wife got the Fish Tacos, and the Brussels Sprouts. Loved them. I ordered their Tremendous Burger. This had to be the first time in over a decade that a burger’s picture and description were compelling enough for me to order them at a sit down restaurant. I actually forgot how good an Ole’ Fashioned cheeseburger could taste.

There are clearly many restaurant choices in L.A. If you are in the Larchmont area, definitely try Great White!

Dietary restrictions: The server was very careful to ask if there were any allergies.“

“I always love coming here. The food is amazing and probably the best Brussels sprouts anywhere.“

“This restaurant should be received as a welcome addition to Westwood. I understand it's been here just shy of three years, but this was the first time for me. I started with a cocktail: the Robert, named for a regular who had his share of Sidecars there. After a Caesar salad, I tried their cacio e pepe. It was well prepared, al dente and clearly fresh pasta. Their draft beer selection was surprisingly well curated, too. I appreciate the friendly and thoughtful service, something increasingly rare. Check it out!“

“Thank you so much farmshop!!! Please know your kindness meant a lot to all of us after the palisades fire. We we're waiting in line to receive an escort back into the Pacific palisades following the fire! This line was at least 300 cars long. People had been waiting in it since early yesterday, desperately hoping to see if they still had a home following the mandatory evacuation. There was a lot of collective heartache going around, but also two gentleman from Farmshop, carrying baskets full of banana bread. They stopped by every car, giving each occupant a hearty slice of freshly baked banana bread. My family just inhaled this stuff! Taking a bite, all of us commented how much it tasted like the banana bread grandma use to make. I don't know if you were using the same recipe or you both baked that bread with love, but talk about soul food! It didn't just feed our bellies, it fed our hearts. A person doesn't easily forget the grace and goodness they're given when engulfed in grief, and Ill never forget the first time i took a bite of Farmshop's banana bread!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!“

“Excellent brunch food and drinks, lovely atmosphere. Chilaquiles, shakshouka and pain au chocolat were delicious. Cannot wait to go back to the patio for dinner!“

“The location on Porter Ranch was not as loud as the one in Santa Clarita. The food was really yummy. So far, my toddler's favorite mac n cheese place. It did get busy, but our server was able to come around more constantly than the one at Santa Clarita. We sat outside even though it was windy and chilly, but the covers and heater made the atmosphere great .“

“This was the perfect date night. We went on a Friday night and it wasn't too crowded, perfect for me because I can get overwhelmed by noise. The atmosphere is super chilled out, with some nice sounds from the speaker. My date and I really really enjoyed our meals and our waitress Danielle (Danny) was fantastic and gave use the best recommendations.“

“Wonderful service, delicious food and the cake was TDF! Dense chocolate and creamy ganache topped off the filet cooked to perfection! And if you like olives, get the fried olives appetizer as well as the tuna tartar … can’t rave enough! Kudos to the chef!“

“Incredibly attentive wait staff, delicious food, unique drinks, and wow,. . talk about a dining experience!!“

“The Hammer is one of my favorite LA Museums, and I always love to stop in at Lulu’s for a bite to eat, the 3-course meal, or just a cappuccino (at the bar.) The food is inventive and delicious, featuring local produce. The courtyard setting is quiet, yet festive with the murmur of conversations below stringed lighting. Service is perfect.“

“I've been to Yard House a couple times and it's about time to finally write some review.
Food : My all time fav is bone in wings with korean style sauce (I can't remember the name) it was so good! Perfect heat and sweet.

Service : Always great! Friendly and fast! Love all of them.
Vibe : It's basically sport bar vibe.Chill and relax.

“The menu are all small plates, delicious doesn’t matter what you order. The place was packed on a Monday night, a sign of good food and good service. The parking is $11 for dinner. In Los Angeles, this is very fair.“

“Just happened to be walking by and decided to stop for lunch, so glad we did. Excellent food and even better service. Intimate setting with awesome decor. Definitely recommend.“

“What a friendly and hospitable breakfast place in the Loews Hollywood hotel. We were looked after by Lilly and what a sweetheart she is. Made us feel like we were in her home and looked after us like we were 5 stars. So much appreciated. Will be back for the service and morning sunshine views!“
