“Your sourdough bread is the BEST bread I have ever had. We finished off a whole round loaf in 2 days. I’m now in a mission to track them down when they are in the area so I can buy them out!!!“

“This place is amazing! They have an AWESOME happy hour and the setting (half open air bar and seating + half inside spacious restaurant) is honestly perfect for LA. Great vibes. Fantastic staff across the board. I love everyone there and wish I knew all of their names because I have only had good experiences, but Aria and Jake are two recent favorites. Highly recommend The Henry for brunch, dinner, drinks, or as mentioned - happy hour!“

“The tasting menu is full of unique seafood dishes, and the portions are generous.“

“Delicious cocktails !! Thank you Avalon hotel“

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

“Fantastic good and cute patio. BLT incredible.“

“Great food and lovely owners - would recommend“

“Great food and wine with a view“

“I brought a small group to Meteora to celebrate a special achievement. The experience exceeded expectations in every way possible! The food was outstanding, with some really creative presentations. The service was absolutely impeccable ... the staff are all so personable and helped accentuate the overall experience. And the atmosphere/setting was truly unique.

I've eaten at numerous Michelin star restaurants in my life, including quite a few triple stars. This overall experience was among the best of my life, and was the very best for several of my guests. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“I’ve never been here before so decided to come in for happy hour before we went to the Saint Felix and had a nice little visit. The interior is a little bland and it’s not very cozy but the large bar area is nice especially for socializing. Hannah served us and she was friendly and attentive. I ordered a skinny margarita and she made it very well. Nice and skinny how I like it! My second drink, I ordered a glass of the champagne from the happy hour menu and I enjoyed it because it was extra brut nice and dry, but served in a tiny tiny glass. We had an order of the jalapeño cheese sticks and they were pretty darn good but really lacked presentation. Good happy hour prices. Might be back to try some more of their food. Love the happy hour!“

“Absolutely fantastic. The best farm-to-table concept I've ever experienced. Extremely clean flavors: the quality of the ingredients shine through in every dish.

The Pastry chef is a standout: the truffle snd lemom pot de creme were the best i have ever had. Definitely get dessert.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“My husband & I stopped by this place for dinner. We got the avocado egg rolls, finney burger, smash burger, and sweet potato fries. My favorite thing was the sweet potato fries! Our server, Toby , was super attentive and kind. He made us feel very welcome and it was our very first time in the area so that was nice. He brought refills of our drinks before we even asked - something you rarely experience. Good food & great service. Highly recommend!“

“I can only say Joe was AMAZING! If I could, I would rate it higher!!! People like Joe deserve everything. He has great people skills which is a special requirement in this line of work! Thank you YardHouse (Burbank) for having a server like Joe! 👏“

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

“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.“

“The menu on the website had no prices. This was our first clue. And seeing the menu in print certainly validated our sleuthy intuition. \nThe food was very good and beautifully presented, no argument there. But over $200 before tip with one starter, two entrees and one dessert felt overpriced to me. Portions were sized well - they seemed small but were satisfying and we didn’t leave hungry. \nThe music was also a bit too loud, although I connected to the playlist. \nOverall a decent experience. I wouldn’t necessarily revisit, but would recommend with the cost caveat.“

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

“Hollywood's Best & Most Consistent Food & Drinks by far!“

“Great service! Great breakfast! Melt in your mouth pancakes“

“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!“

“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!“

“El trato para los clientes es al 100 % recomendado, los meseros muy amables y la comida exquisita, te ayuda ah todas tus peticiones en especial el mesero # 1 NATHAN M. Súper amable 10/10 súper atento y agradable 200% Recomendable 👍🏻👏🏻❤️ En Burbank 👍🏻“

“Food is worth of every penny, I know food is little bit costly (if you compare it with other restaurant), but surely you'll definitely like the food. The only thing which I don't like is the atmosphere of the restaurant, I mean I was there at dinner time, and lots of rush was there, and because of over crowd surrounded by me, I cannot eat peacefully.
But overall my experience was good. 4/5 rating from me“

“Cool dicey bar feel with great drinks and fabulous bartenders! Loved it when it was Oyster Bar, and still loving it as Oy bar!!!“

“Loved this place. We’ve passed by a bunch of times but finally decided to try it and was pleasantly surprised. Honestly everything was delicious.. we got the wings, the fried chicken sandwich, and lobster roll. The service was great too. Dave was amazing. Will definitely come back to try the burger.“

“My wife and I decided to check out happy hour at Finney’s Crafthouse on Rinaldi in Porter Ranch next to the 118 freeway. We agreed it was the right move for a Friday night date. We ordered a few items from the happy hour menu, including the sliders and the chicken quesadilla. The sliders were just the right size and cooked to perfection. I have no idea why sliders taste so much better than a full burger! The chicken quesadilla was also delicious cheesy, flavorful, and filled with well cooked chicken. I mean, how can you go wrong with a chicken quesadilla? Am I right? The service here is always top-notch, and the servers are really friendly. Just be aware that when they’re busy, wait times can be a bit longer, but that’s to be expected at a popular restaurant serving quality American food. I definitely recommend Finney’s Crafthouse in Porter Ranch if you’re ever in the mood for burgers, beer, or wine while watching a game this is the place for you. The ambiance, to me, feels more like a bar and restaurant where people can come for a family dinner or watch a football or baseball game on the big screens in the bar area. There is plenty of parking since it’s located in a large shopping center, but be aware that during dinner time or on Friday and Saturday nights, it can be tough to find a spot. Eventually, one opens up you just have to be patient. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy some amazing food, whether from the happy hour menu or the regular menu. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.

Thanks, Finney’s Crafthouse!“

“This place has an incredible musical vibe and an amazing staff of great humans!!!“

“My favorite place to hang in LA. The staff is super sweet, the food is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, particularly the Ginger Margarita, the atmosphere is gorgeous—whether you’re inside the stunning deco bar or outside on the beautiful patio. It’s a true gem.“

“Beautiful view, great service and nice selection of drinks“

“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.“

“I always love stopping by On The Thirty to hangout/dine when in the area!

It's right on Ventura with a nice outdoor patio space, so it's great for a bit of people watching (or perhaps more like car watching at times)!

They're usually playing sports on the tv's inside when we go, but we usually just chill on the outdoor space.

Service has always been super friendly and good about making sure you're taken care of and giving you refills/anything else you may need.

For the food - last time I went, I got one of the salads (trying to be a little bit healthier haha)!
It was HUGE, super fresh, and packed FULL of flavor from all the delicious toppings. The perfect mix of textures with some crunchiness.
There's plenty of other menu items as well - we've had items like the burgers, brick oven pizzas, and ceviche in the past.
All are very generously portioned, packed with high quality ingredients, and super tasty/satisfying to enjoy!

Oh yeah, and if you drink...the cocktails here are tasty and STRONG!
I had one and was feeling QUITE tipsy!!

On The Thirty is one of my top picks in this part of the valley, and I highly recommend if looking for a spot to hang/dine at in the area!“

“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!“

“We came here for a birthday lunch and ordered the Truffle Mushroom Pizza, the Market Chop salad and the Shrimp Pasta. The salad and shrimp pasta was absolutely delicious but the pizza was... okay. The service was great and I would definitely come back again for another meal.“

“great quality at a good price“

“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!“

“Love the burgers and sushi.“

“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.“
