“a bit pricey (at least here in downey) but the food is worth it!!“

“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!“

“The food and ambience & wine selection was excellent! We will be back!“

“Exquisite creative brunch!“

“Fun place, great food/coffee , great energy without all the excessive pretentious weirdness. The most authentic and sincere business in that area.“

“We found this place by of chance needing to use the bathroom whilst walking around Venice and what a great find. Staff are lovely and welcoming and attended to us well. The place was very clean and the food was just right and so tasty. I will be returning when I visit again.“

“Goat Cheese and Black Olives ice cream was delicious. The service was exceptional and the customer service provided by EVERY SINGLE ONE of their ice cream parlor workers was outstanding. You wont go wrong visiting the Abbot Kinney location.“

“I have yet to have better, real authentic Mexican food in my life. Yes, there are plenty of solid options for tacos in LA, but La Fiesta Brava is everything you want in every single bite. It’s a quaint family run Mexican eatery transporting you through time (back to your childhood with the juicy fruit gum) and space. You are part of the family here. My favorite part of the experience was eating the steak fajitas and the carnitas tacos, as I reminisced on childhood meals with my parents when we were first introduced to Mexican food in the US. What a blessing it is for restaurants like this to still exist - nothing beats the rich flavors and exceptional customer service at La Fiesta Brava. 10/10 - I will come here every single time for a traditional homemade meal and leave every single time with a happy heart and stomach.“

“Amazing experience, thanks to Vittorio, Austin, and Andrea for the warm, genuinely Italian welcome, the sandwich was outstanding and truly tasted like being back in Italy, top-quality ingredients, perfect focaccia , big flavors, a must-stop in Venice Beach !!!“

“I loved it. Everything is clean and the staff very friendly. And fist time going they help u order .“

“An extremely lively and trendy lounge-type of restaurant on the Venice/Santa Monica border very close to the water. It is actually a block away from the beach. At night they move the tables and the DJ booth turns on and it turns into a mini nightclub and most of the patrons we saw were they to pick up champagne to share and drink on site, the food here seemed an afterthought. The crowd here is very young, most people are in their 20s. You’ll probably be one of the older ones if you are in your mid 30s like myself. It’s also very loud and it’s more a place to go with friends or a date, it’s not really a foodie destination, it’s more of a lively place to spend the evening. Parking is honestly really hard in this area so we took a Waymo because we live a mile away. Aside from that you’ll most likely need to pay for parking. Our waitress was very polite, but our food items arrived pretty slowly.

I started off with the Chicory Salad. I thought it was pretty nice, it was really nice and light start, a perfect salad for spring. For my entree I chose the Burger with a side of Broccolini because I had heard a lot about it. It was very good but not one of the best burgers I’ve had in this part of town. I would say this is a great spot to bring a date, but it’s not really somewhere that is food focused, more a place to drink and order some items if you’re hungry.“

“The food and environment!“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“Great food. The lamb is amazing. So assuming in this small plaza. I usually go here and the X-Press dry cleaners next door once a week. It’s my Thursday routine. Pickup dinner and cleaning. The owner is really cool and the workers are chill.“

“What an amazing experience. I sampled some Horchata and bought a bag of Horchata Mix before I even ordered it was so good and can’t wait to make at home. Staff was friendly, kitchen was super clean and the flavors from the Taco Bistec en Salsa Rojo were so good. I paired it with the habanero salsa which had a nice kick to it. The Chile RellenonTaco was also a very special experience combining so many flavors and textures. Can’t wait to go back!!!“

“FABULOUS SERVICE ! We rate great service above everything else and if we don't get it.....we don't come back ! My wife and I were heading to Santa Monica ( 152 miles from Solana Beach ) for a weekend getaway on Friday and needed a planned lunch stop on the way. Last year when I renewed my Australian passport at the Australian Consulate-General in L.A my wife jumped online and found a Lokal Sandwich Shop on National Blvd close by for our lunch break. The sandwiches, drinks and service were excellent at that location and we expected the same here. Considering we were heading towards L.A on a busy Friday we made great time. We parked in the private carpark and walked in about 12.30pm. It was bright and cheery inside just like the other location we visited. A sweet young lady named Emily greeted us straight off. First up we both had to hit the restrooms ( nice & clean ) after our non-stop drive from Solana Beach. NO PROB ! And then we sat at a table ready to select our lunch order. At the service counter we ordered 1 x ICED LATTE, 1 x THAI ICED TEA, 1 X BBQ PORK BANH MI ( cucumber, jalapeño, mayo, housed pickled daikon & carrots, cilantro on a baguette ) and 1 X THE CUBANO ( Ham, shredded pork, pickled cucumber, swiss cheese, mayo, dijon mustard on toasted rustic sourdough ). BONUS BONUS BONUS...when I checked in on YELP I got an offer for 20% off our first visit. I TOOK IT ! So far so good...very friendly service from Emily the cashier and WE LIKED THE VIBE....an intangible thing that you feel. Our iced drinks were ready in next to no time and tasted very refreshing. I haven't savored a BBQ Pork Banh Mi since last year ( at a Lokal Sandwich Shop ) and this one did not disappoint...hitting all the right fresh and healthy notes. My wife went nuts over The Cubano...quite a large fully loaded sandwich. It wasn't real busy at that time of day so we took our time enjoying our delicious lunch. I noticed that they had craft beer on tap...I didn't see that at the location we visited last year. I asked Vanessa behind the counter....why is this location called Lokal Sandwich + Burger Bar instead off Lokal sandwich Shop ? And Vanessa replied...because this location sells beer. OK ! We really enjoyed everything we ordered here and had a relaxing break from driving. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !“

“Had a great meal! Forwent ordering potstickers in order to try the enticingly named Gang of 4 ×4 - a delicious decision! The Mao's Hometown was just-right spicy, and I'm sure they put more than $2 extra shrimp on my order. Service friendly and prompt, loved the art. I felt as though I had wandered back into college in the early '70s.“

“I worked at the Hollywood location in 2010. Its probably the best BBQ I ever tasted and glad I was a part of!“

“Tried it yesterday. Stopped for a coffee and stayed for the outdoor seating. The cappuccino was excellent!“

“I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is great and the sushi is absolutely amazing — super fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every roll we tried was delicious, and you can really tell they care about quality.

The only downside I can mention is the bathrooms. They’re unisex and were veryyy dirty when we visited, which was disappointing compared to how good everything else was.

Other than that, the food alone makes it worth coming back. Definitely recommend for sushi lovers!“

“Always the first place I go when I get to LA“

“Beef, chicken, and shrimp. ALL AMAZING. Made on the spot. Right by the beach. Master gave me 3 options of hot sauce - I was able to endure the pain of the spiciest one which wasn’t too bad. I’m drooling all over my couch thinking of these tacos. Highly recommended and I’m definitely coming back next time I’m in LA. Gracias.!!!“

“While waiting outside for our table, we were greeted by the charming owner who offered us Prosecco to sip. This was just the beginning of a magical and ridiculously fun and luxurious evening at Owa. The service was perfect, the food was excellent, fresh and inventive. We never wanted to leave and we cannot wait to have the chance to come back. Fabulous cocktails also!“

“Best prices in Venice Beach coolest staff on earth“

“Best gluten free treats around! It's a small shop, but I love the vibe! I can't wait to order my birthday cake and party treats!! Parking can be tough at times...but street parking is available!“

“Cracking little bar… fantastic customer service and such a warm welcome.“

“🥙☕️💜I am an avid taco lover. We had never been to this adorable Taco Restaurant in Venice Beach before.
The first thing I noticed was how clean it was.
I was now anxious to have my fave food in life - beef tacos! THEY WERE out of this world.
Our entire family enjoyed the food & a quaint ambience. The Coffee is excellent as well.
I give this “Young Kid Shop”’ 5 stars! Because, if it is not on the Menu, I would bet my life Miss NADIA would not only make it, it would be absolutely delicious!
It is the cutest little beach taco shop on the boardwalk in Venice Beach. Check it out.
💟🥙🏖️“

“Tried it yesterday. Stopped for a coffee and stayed for the outdoor seating. The cappuccino was excellent!“

“This place is so good it’s better than five stars. Friendly service staff too, and we had a toddler that was happily served and given food and drink that kept her happy.

Every single thing we ordered was fantastic. We had fish wrapped in banana leaf, a coconut milk chicken broth rice, a japanese eggplant curry, and several other dishes - all so good they are almost disgracefully good.

The place is well worth the price. Highly recommend.

The cocktails were also superb. The smoked whiskey drink was so good we ordered another and we never order two. Also highly recommend their manhattan.“

“Buena comida 🥘 buen lugar para una buena velada“

“Parking is a bit rough but it’s on Westminster corner, they have unbeatable prices. The juices are freshly made and so is the food. I got the sunrise sausage burrito that was only $10 and a large green juice that was also $10.25! The burrito is massive and well seasoned, but don’t forget to grab your hot sauce. For venice pricing this is amazing. The lady at the front is so sweet! There are two stools you can sit on and wait for the side table for the car if you can sit outside and eat. Definitely will be back soon!!!“

“The staff was very kind and accommodating here. I ordered a gluten-free vegan cheese veggie pizza. (I'm not vegan, just wasn't feeling like meat) and the gluten-free crust was delicious. The vegan cheese was much too heavy for me, so I recommend asking for light cheese unless you're into that.

The missing star is only for atmosphere and the crowd it draws. A lot of people were high on various kinds of substances, and I was harassed repeatedly by another customer while waiting for my food. I understand it's a cheap food place that is open fairly late into the evening, but so are lots of places, so it's odd.

Not a place to dine-in unless you need to in a pinch. There are all but two tables. Overall very happy with the staff and food!

Note: They sell pizza by the slice, but not for gluten-free!“

“Been coming here for years, great spot to people watch, grab a cocktail, and enjoy beach eats.“

“Excellent service and Food. It was Dine LA so we ordered that menu and the food was coursed out. Absolutely superb! What a great way to sample the chef’s specialties. Our waiter was the best!!!! Looking forward to dining again.“

“Food is Amazing and Staff treats you like family. Been goung here since 1996 . My Favorite is the Chicken Enchildas with Hreen Sauce.“

“En general todo está bueno, en lo personal el café👍“

“Everything about this place I love. Great pizza as you can tell.“

“Wonderful atmosphere! My favorite place for breakfast. Staff are amazing and so friendly. They make you feel right at home!“

“Super déco et très bonne nourriture . Un vrai régal . On a adoré“

“What a fantastic place to have breakfast . Everything made in the Gjusta bakery on site . It can be slightly confusing at first placing your order but after the first time it is easy . Great coffee's. The pastries are amazing from Baklava croissants to to cinnamon buns all delicious . Eaten outside in the courtyard made it perfect . I recommend a visit to Gjusta bakery when in Venice beach.“

“If you are looking for a culinary experience that borders on the orgasmic, look no further. I custom-designed a salmon poke bowl that was, quite simply, pure ecstasy. The salmon is so buttery and fresh it doesn't just eat—it melts in your mouth, leaving you craving the next bite before you’ve even finished the first. And the sauces? They absolutely light me up, sets my palate on fire in the best way possible. This isn't just a meal; it's a deep, flavorful seduction. If you want a taste that truly hits the spot, this is the only place to go.“
