The Apple Pan has been around for at least 50 years. Same guys have been the servers for almost that many. Quick service, consistency, quality ingredients, and amazing burgers and pie. I've been going there for 20 years.
Pros: Hickory Burger, Steak Burger, Tuna Sandwich, and all Pies
Cons: They need a "take a number" system to seating.

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

My girlfriend and I always eat and drink at good. What a great place and find in our neighoorhood. Good food nice vibe and the staff is always very attentive. Good has it's own crowd and it's a real cool place. Once you plug into the vibe here you understand why its' called good! Other places are wanna be's when it comes to the beers at good microbrew.
Pros: Service and food

Worth the drive to Eagle Rock!! If these 130+ reviews don't convince you to go here, Jonathan Gold's LA Weekly article will. The famous critic can't say enough about Casa Bianca's pizza pie. It really is that darn good! The crust on the thin side, the marinara on the spicy side, and the cheese covering almost all the way to the edges and baked to perfection. You don't need to say "extra crispy". The pizza does not flip or flop around, it's cut into wonderful little slices that are easily, but not mindlessly, devoured. When my boyfriend and I took a recommendation and ventured to this suburban spot we had high hopes, but were extremely impressed and our expectations were exceeded. Friendly staff, comfortable dining area, homey decor. I like plain cheese pizza and my boyfriend likes pepperoni, so we get 1/2 and 1/2, both are great. Casa Bianca isn't typical big ol' slices, but the flavor bursts and confirms the decision to branch out and give somewhere besides Village a try for some pie. OH and they're open late! So rare in l.a. and so convenient.
Pros: everything-pizza, staff, price, decor, parking

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

Susanne Goin is one of the best chefs in LA and AOC is fantastic. I recommend sitting at the bar. The food is great, the servers and bartenders are helpful and friendly and they have a great wine selection. The bacon-wrapped dates are a must.

Perhaps best known among college students starving for its sweet relief from studying, Diddy Riese is a landmark in UCLA's Westwood. It is one of the first places introduced to newly-accepted freshmen, and rightfully so, as Diddy's ten varieties of freshly-baked cookies and twelve flavors of Dreyers premium grand ice cream deserve the attention. The best parts: sinfully cheap prices and late night hours. Ice cream sandwiches - any combo of two cookies and a generous scoop of ice cream smooshed between them - are only $1.50 and a perfect late-night treat. My go-to favorite: oatmeal raisin with espresso chip ice cream.

I have been going here for over 40 years. The menu has changed little. The courtyard atmosphere is great as is the food. In a busy area - plenty of parking available.
