    "The wood paneling enhances the ambiance no end, but it’s the wonderfully comfy leather booths that give the place the edge. Flat screen TVs. It’s a sporty and hip environment for a young crowd. There is plenty of class but it’s certainly not posh or stuffy. The patio and covered porch are bustling. As far as the food is concerned there are the fish and chips, with the fries sprinkled with herbs s ... read more >

    "From the name to the decor, Smokin Joint oozes comfort which is good when you're eating BBQ. They start you off with complimentary mini-corn bread biscuits that practically pop with fresh kernels of whole corn that you'll want to slather with their honey butter. These bite-sized treats are worth a visit here alone. The ribs are juicy and the portions are generous which means you probably won't be ... read more >

    "New York style Italian pizza is available here, with a New York theme to the décor too. It is genuine New York style, as many New Yorkers have attested on eating here. This pizzeria is so well known that they even filmed an episode of HBO's Entourage here. As a traditional New York style pizzeria, the venue is more intimate so you may want to avoid at peak times – but if you want to get a pizza f ... read more >

    "Earthy tones set the ambiance for high class cuisine. Bamboo, black tiles, and mirrors all impress at some of the outlets. Covered patios provide great views. The bar is usually busy, but the restaurant service is impeccable. To start your dinner, you'll want to try their Pinot Noir which has been described as being phenomenal. Though they have other outlets, the one in Beverly Hills is highly ra ... read more >

    "Water features, a magical fairytale of a garden, and an ambience that’s as discreet and intimate as you’ll find anywhere. Tucked away, the bustling city is somehow utterly alien to this venue, although it’s just around the corner from it. Amazing lamb is served, including a lamb shank dish and a roast garlic rack of lamb that’s crusted and seasoned to perfection. A sea bass and crab cake dish is ... read more >

    "With a store front and outdoor seating like a Milan restaurant, the authenticity hits you before you’ve even entered this emporium. The cuisine here is very very high class, although the décor is very back to basics and standard. They truly do let the food speak for itself. And it sings. Like very good opera. The ambiance is only enhanced by the basic décor. Indeed, it’s positively bustling, popu ... read more >

    "Full length windows add brightness to the chic Latin/Spanish villa style architecture in this building that was originally built for Charlie Chaplin as what was intended as an office complex. The building serves a far more worthy purpose today, with an award winning restaurant residing there. The bakery and restaurant are on redesigned premises that retain the outer structure.

    "With a presence in the area since the Depression era, this large Jewish eatery is open twenty four hours a day every day of the year (save for Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah). After you’ve whetted things nicely with complimentary pickles, the matzo ball soup is a must try item on the menu. Like a chicken noodle broth with a matzo ball as the centerpiece, it’s delightful. Cheese blintzes, corned bee ... read more >

    "The menu is quite diverse and offers plenty of choice. You’ll find mouth watering and quite original combos here, such as tomato soup and grilled cheese. Great breads. The Arnold Palmer beverage and Red Velvet cake here are among the best around. Beefy mac and cheese is fantastic. Portions of everything are very big. Soups come in big bowls. Omelets and pancakes cover entire plates. The all day b ... read more >

    "Located in a Farmers’ Market, so you should expect great fresh food of the highest standards here, and that’s what you get. The place gets busy, so you may have to wait a little in line. Sample menus offer an assortment of tacos, all of them great. Fresh cactus available here which is always great to sample. The enchilada suiza, meanwhile, features tomatillo sauce, black beans and it is epically ... read more >

    "French cuisine restaurant here, so romance comes naturally. Open ravioli with black truffle oil and seared scallops is worth checking out as an appetizer, but if you like your scallops, there are other dishes that are more creative and slightly exotic. For example, the seared scallop with fig, pumpkin gnocchi, and raisin is an interestingly sweet take on seafood. Speaking of all things sweet, you ... read more >

    The Ivy embodies California culture as it is one of the definitive spots for celeb-watching. However, this chic and couture restaurant serves as an ideal setting for a business meeting as well. A pricey menu gives way to a myriad of options but above all you must try their spicy corn chowder which is better than it sounds. Order it to start, and relish the vegetables and savor the taste.

    An ever changing menu and a choice of some forty wines means you could come here quite a few times before not being surprised with what you get. One evening, you may want to try the duck confit with apple, pecans, dates, and arugula. The next, it’s off the menu and you get to sample the catfish or the crispy rabbit legs or the balsamic pork ribs, all of them as equally delicious and enhanced with ... read more >

    With a great range of fish that includes salmon, eel, tuna, squid, shrimp, yellow tail, you’ll also find slightly more westernized stuff here, such as a crab and mozzarella enhanced tempura, which is a must try. The spicy tuna roll is also a delicious choice from a great selection. Reasonably priced for a venue of its class, with some of the dishes being nearly three times the cost of others, mean ... read more >

    Both soba and udon noodles here, so you’re spoiled for choice, and they’re both delicious. The range of Japanese cuisine is pretty comprehensive compared to more specialist eateries. Everything here is top notch. They take pride in their food. You know you’re eating healthy, just from the cleanliness and hygiene of the joint. The range of sushi is limited, but there’s plenty on the menu. The effic ... read more >

    "A restaurant that provides plenty of seasonal cuisine, as well as plenty of seafood, you’ll find much to love in the high caliber cuisine. The venue itself is bright and airy which reflects the LA style. White walls are toned down with some very creative lighting. A wonderfully intimate spot for a long date or for a quick lunch.
