The meal at Sona lived up to all the hype I've heard. The sweet corn chowder started the meal wonderfully, followed by the melt in your mouth beef tenderloin and short ribs. A companion and I split an ounce of the wagyu beef just to try it and it, for me, beat the wagyu at Cut. For dessert definitely try the fried lemon meringue pie. It's unique and flavorful.
Our waiter expertly recommended wines and we all left very full and incredibly satisfied. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation.
Pros: attentive service, excellent wine list, incredible food

I went to the Sunday night show at the Cicada Club to see Richard Halpern's Roaring Twenties Revue. First, the food. I recommend the scallop and risotto appetizer. It was a wonderful combination of flavors and textures. For the entree I enjoyed the lamp chops. Cooked just right -- juicy and and delicious.
Second, the entertainment. This night featured Halpern's 1920's era band with a fantastic dance number by special guest Chester Whitmore (one of the top tap dancers in the country). Later the Cicada Club's elevator boy Kid Watson performed a surprisingly good dance routine. Quite a few people were dressed in 1920's attire that added to the atmosphere. You really have to see this for yourself. Nothing like it. Great fun.
Pros: Great food, unique venue
Cons: none

My wife and I went to Yamashiro a couple of weeks ago and had a great experience. The view was amazing and the service was great.
We shared a few dishes including a variety of sushi, filet mignon, and the grilled seafood. Everything we had was incredible and our server was very helpful in helping us decide what to order.
I appreciated that the filet was cooked to order AND the server came back about a minute after the filet was delivered to make sure it was cooked properly.
We each had a martini and they were mixed PERFECTLY. For dessert we shared the Smores...fantastic!
I can't wait to go back! It's rare to find a restaurant that has everything going for it....but Yamashiro does.
Pros: Quality of food, service, location
Cons: There isn't one in my backyard.

I wish I could go to Water Grill all the time but it's too $ for me. I went for Dine LA on Wednesday and had an amazing time. Generous portions. Great fish. I had the Sturgeon, my friend the Organic Salmon. Our waiter (great service) let us know they will be serving $44 Dine LA menu all February! I'll be back.

So my friends and I had just read about this place in the LA Times a few days ago, and we were interested in trying it out. We weren't disappointed. Great vibe and decor, attentive service, and fantastic Sunday Evening Happy Hour pricing made this a great choice for a relaxed evening, and the mojitos weren't too bad either.
Re: Service. One of the waiters happened to have a slight accident with a drink out on the patio while we were outside, and he very quickly went to each individual table in order to made sure everybody knew that the patio was wet. Before we knew, it was all mopped up. Great handling of the situation, I'd say.
Pros: Ambience, service, Happy Hour Menu

My theatre had a special event at the Larchmont Grill. The entire night was amazing. The owners went out of there way to accommodate us. The food was wonderful. All the guests raved all night long. The ambiance was just as wonderful as the food. We recommend this place to everyone. I have been back a few time and will keep coming back.
Pros: ambiance - food
Cons: nothing

This restaurant is really inside a Dining Car and it is actually nice. The Rib eye steak was so tender and juicy. It is a little pricey for the location, but it is worth it. I highly recommend this location.

Wanted great food and great blues and we got both. Loved the guy with the beard on assorted acoustic guitars playing absolutely authentic, down home, BLUES. The tasting menu was inexpensive and very "southern" and the combination made for a perfect evening. We will definitely be back.
Pros: Music and Food
Cons: none

Located perfectly at the cross-section of Downtown Los Angeles, Silverlake/Echo Park, Koreatown, and the Mid-City, this new venue, embraces the true architecture of old Los Angeles and intentionally clashes it with the urban style of the NEW L.A. You will lounge in a luxe posh Wilshire setting and enjoy cocktails with friends, while at the same time being inspired by the city's best DJ's, indie acts, and a modern cultural mesh that proves the Divine is the world's first and best DJ and mixologist.
Set below a historic Hotel, the vibe can best be described as eclectic. We not only embrace this, but as the pictures on our site will show, we have a blast celebrating it by constantly offering different looks and feel.
CAPACITY: 250
