“Wonderful experience at JINYA Ramen Bar in Topanga! My daughter and I came for our usual quick lunch and were seated at the ramen bar. Gaby made our visit especially enjoyable — she was so warm, attentive, polite, and professional.

What impressed me most was when I accidentally wrapped my aligners in a napkin and they were thrown away. I asked if they could be found, not really expecting it, but Gaby went above and beyond, found them, and brought them back to me! I was truly so grateful.

Thank you, Gaby, for your kindness and for making our lunch such a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back! ❤“

“If you want to go to a bar with perfect seating, great airflow, excellent drinks, flawless service l, a fantastic DJ, a parking lot, a nyc vibe, no one rushes you and you can even reserve a table for drinks…go to the Chestnut Club. My favorite new bar. 14th & Santa Monica Blvd @TheChestnutClub same owners as scopa and black market liquor!“

“Maui Sugar Mill Saloon is one of those rare places that feels less like a typical night out and more like stepping into a living, breathing slice of local culture.

From the moment you arrive, there’s an immediate sense that this venue has its own personality. It doesn’t try to imitate modern, overly polished entertainment spots—instead, it embraces a more authentic, slightly vintage, and effortlessly cool atmosphere. That character alone makes it stand out in a world where many places start to feel interchangeable.

What truly makes this place special is its energy. There’s a certain unpredictability in the best possible way—you never quite know how the night will unfold, but you can be sure it will be memorable. The space feels intimate yet lively, with a layout that naturally encourages connection, conversation, and shared experiences.

One of the strongest impressions comes from the live entertainment. The performances here don’t feel like background noise—they feel like the heartbeat of the room. Whether it’s music, local talent, or spontaneous moments that happen throughout the night, everything contributes to an atmosphere that feels genuine and unforced. It’s the kind of place where you catch yourself getting fully absorbed in the moment without even realizing it.

The crowd adds another layer to the experience. There’s a nice mix of regulars and newcomers, all blending together in a relaxed, welcoming environment. It creates a sense of community that is increasingly rare to find. People aren’t just passing through—they’re part of the experience, even if just for the evening.

The staff plays an important role in maintaining that vibe. Friendly, attentive, and grounded, they help keep everything running smoothly while still preserving the laid-back spirit of the place. There’s no sense of rush or pressure—just an easygoing approach that lets the night unfold naturally.

What I appreciated most is that Maui Sugar Mill Saloon doesn’t rely on flashy gimmicks. Its charm comes from authenticity. It’s a place that knows exactly what it is and doesn’t try to be anything else. That confidence translates into a consistently enjoyable experience where the focus is simply on good moments, good energy, and good company.

By the end of the visit, it’s not just about what you saw or heard—it’s about the feeling you leave with. A sense of having been part of something real, something local, something that still values atmosphere and human connection over trends.

It’s the kind of place you don’t just visit once. You return because it feels familiar, comfortable, and alive in a way that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. A true hidden gem for anyone who appreciates live energy, community spirit, and a relaxed, unforgettable night out.“

“as a newyorker in los angeles the fact that there is a bar open after 9pm in brentwood to eat and drink 🍹 😱.“

“We had a great experience at Ospi Brentwood. From start to finish, everything was on point. The food, the service, and the drinks. We tried several pizzas: the Copione, Pepe-Roni, Hapa, and Funghi. All were delicious, though the Funghi was our least favorite the mushrooms were just a bit overpowering for our taste. The Arugula Salad was incredibly refreshing with the perfect amount of lemon juice. We also had the Spicy Rigatoni with vodka sauce, which was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The cocktails came out quickly, and the food was served just as fast. Everything arrives hot and fresh, so be ready to dig in right away. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience, and we’ll definitely be back.“

“Katsuya Century City is definitely worth a try! We had lunch there as a family and left full and really satisfied. The sushi was fresh, the flavors were great, and the service was quick. We actually had a couple of servers helping us, so everything came out fast and smooth. Overall, we really enjoyed it--thank you for a great experience!“

“Luis was awesome! Excellent service!“

“Sugar Suite is my favorite bar in the valley! I usually come on Monday and Friday after work to see the blonde bartender! She makes the best Michelada and is the sweetest! The atmosphere is always great. Don’t forget to stay for Karla after her on Mondays!“

“Absolutely love this place! The atmosphere is so inviting, and the staff always go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The food is consistently delicious, especially their signature dishes – I can't recommend it enough!“

“Beautiful restaurant and bar with tasty food and great service. I’ll be back!“

“I recommend the Bbq chicken, Rack of Ribs and Brisket overall everything I ordered was delicious.“

“Great Bbq! Great service!“

“Please give George - who I renamed GMoney - a raise! In all seriousness, he made me (a California newbie) feel so welcome and happy while I was out here visiting my daughter... beyond words. He was amazing and nothing like the East Coast bartenders I’ve been used to! A wonderful night was had because of him!“

“I was very impressed by the friendliness and service with Ollo for a recent catering delivery. I called around to several places and with very slow response times and abruptness directing me back to the website for Uber delivery. The host and manager Spencer followed up on the order and went out of the way to make sure it was a great experience for the group and the stressed out person (me:) trying to coordinate for the group. Highly recommend!!“

“Un lugar muy agradable te atienden súper bien“

“They have the best KJ in town!“

“Great food Great service. Fantastic drinks“

“Chela’s Cantina is an awesome spot to kick back, have fun, and enjoy a great night out. Thursday karaoke nights are definitely my favorite — great energy, good crowd, and always a fun atmosphere.

The ceviche is absolutely amazing, the drinks are on point, and the bartenders… well, you’ll just have to come see for yourself. 😄

If you’re looking for a place with good vibes, music, great food, and a fun nightlife experience, Chela’s Cantina is definitely worth checking out.“

“This restaurant is phenomenal! First of all the food is dreamy, I particularly LOVE the shrimp pasta. The cocktails are also just insane i love the fresh fruit in them sooo yummy! We have come multiple times and every time is great. Staff is always so friendly. Came on Fathers Day w/ the hubby & sat at the bar. Our bartender Lexi was killin it. She was the ONLY BARTENDER on a holiday!!!! Two thumbs up for her thats one hard workin chickie and doing it all with a smile! Definitely come check Lure out!“

“Friendly atmosphere Delicious meals are tasty, appetizing, scrumptious, yummy, delightful, lovely, wonderful, pleasant, enjoyable, appealing, enchanting, charming and hihgly pleasant to the taste.“

“Awesome burgers. This place rocks“

“Old time steak house, old time country music. Nostalgic steak house vibes from the 60's. Clean with friendly staff. Steaks are decent. Think we'll prepared choice steak. Didn't try the prime rib this visit. The green beans came out three different shades of green. Just ok. Baked potato was good. Overall relaxing experience with comfort food vibe. Worth a visit.“

“I love it here because it’s old fashion great table service because management excels in traffic patterns with cross trained wait staff and bidders. No server leaves the kitchen empty handed and the vibe is to make their customers happy with continuous even flow table service. Disney please take note! I am not of of millennial restaurants where stand at a cash register and pay the tip upfront then assigned a number & number holder then fend & elbow for a table. This is old school service upgraded with innovative traffic management to expedite cuisines & cocktails. I love the intimacy of the raised railroad car booths where I can actually hear my guest’s conversation and speak to wait staff at eye level. And the bathrooms are so modern and spotless! The observation window to see the cooking staff hard at work is as much fun as a cooking show! Chocolate chip cookies are warm but melt in your mouth!

“Dude?! I started working near the Tapo canyon location in Simi valley months ago. Thought this could be my new morning coffee routine. Then I discovered so much more than coffee, their food is amazing
Too many favorites to name. First love was a California burrito, my second favorite Mexican food they do well (waffle fries optional) carne asada fries.
And the sauce! That GOAT sauce. After awhile, I stopped asking for it and my AM crew just knew I wanted it in that bag
Cheers to an essential kickstart to my day, I highly recommend you check out for yourself“

“ALWAYS AN AWSOME TIME , food , Drinks Ambiance , EVERYTHING FANTASTIC !!!!“

“Great atmosphere, the music and the two beautiful belly dancers you have performing on Saturday nights are awesome. The food, drinks and service was incredible. We will definitely be back!!“

“First time trying Finney's Crafthouse and it was a very busy place on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered the Pastrami Reuben Sandwich with an order of tartar tots. I ordered the sandwich without the kraut and it was really good. The order of tartar tots took a bit of time to get to the table so I thought that they would be hot. Unfortunately, the tarter tots were lukewarm at best and I didn't finish them. The wait staff apologized for the error and did take them off my final bill. She said that she let the Manager know but they never stopped by the table.“

“Rosti is always a great choice for a casual, convenient meal. The service is fast, consistent, and genuinely five-star—the entire staff is attentive, friendly, and welcoming.

Their happy hour is amazing, and the Wednesday wine special is especially worth it, with premium wines offered at half price. They also have a full bar and plenty of great options for everyone. The salads, brick-oven pizzas, and small bites are all delicious, making it an easy place for a quick lunch, after-work drinks, or a relaxed dinner.

Since it’s so close to our office, we definitely need to come more often with the work crew. You really can’t go wrong with Rosti: casual atmosphere, lots to choose from, great specials, and consistently good food and service.“

“Fun place to drink and be entertained. Came here for a live band. You can see Alice in Wonderland and Matrix themes. They have a maze with free pool, beer pong, chess, connect four and popcorn (which was surprisingly fresh). And of course, the magicians! They interact with you. Definitely sets this place apart. People were friendly, even security. Was difficult to get a drink though. Fun bar menu but seemed watered down. Parking was easy.“

“I like this place. Used to live nearby, but moved in 2024. I now travel 17 miles to go to this place. It has a low key vibe, service is good, and the food is good. It's inside a Nordstrom at the mall. So, it's a good spot in between shopping errands and seeing a movie at the AMC. They have a happy hour and a bar. They share pretty much the same menu as Cafe Verde at Century City & The Grove, which is blocks from me, but I prefer this location and they have French Onion soup which the others don't.“

“Absolutely wonderful experience! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The wine selection was excellent and paired perfectly with our meal. The atmosphere was warm, elegant, and relaxing, and the service was friendly and attentive. Definitely a great place for a nice dinner and a glass of wine. We will definitely be back!“

“I was recommended there by Jillian Barberie from Good Day L.A. It was my 1st time there & it did not disappoint at all. Valet parking. Quick prompt service, waitress was attentive and food was spot on! Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“the Best Persian restaurant....♡ it !!!“
