this is not a restaurant where everything on the menu is good, however if you are looking for an authentic melt-in-your-mouth steak, this is the place. and the atmosphere is certainly of a style that may not appeal to all, but i find it charming and nostalgic with the gruff and elderly waiters, the formica tables and the lack of pretense. stick to steak and potatoes and you won't be disappointed.
Pros: delicious steak, an iconic establishment
Cons: don't order anything else off the menu

Z-Best Hardwood Floor recently did a hardwood floor installation in our home's living-room. I was very pleased with the entire process from Davis' initial estimate to the actual installation. Davis was very professional and personable and I didn't feel as though I was being high pressured into making a decision. Davis showed us a variety of flooring options that were within our budget. The flooring was delivered several days before the installation and when the crew showed up the flooring was ready.The actual installation took one day because the job consisted only of our living room. The installers were very careful with our furniture and did good job of leaving the job site clean. I did notice a scratch in a moulding piece with was corrected without complaint.My wife and I are considering hardwood flooring in the upstairs bedrooms and Z-Best will be our choice to do the job. I would certainly recommend Z-Best just as they were recommended to us.

I've been coming to EK for a couple of years already and everything is fantastic; from the Bollywood on the big screen to the always fresh and delicious food, to the extremely friendly owner Pama who will even keep you company if you are dining alone, to the authentic and over the top decor and ambiance. Then of course there is Kate... the hostess who is simply glowing; the friendliest person ever and who masterfully interacts with both guests and kitchen to make sure that every dish is prepared to your personal satisfaction and that the experience is overwhelmingly positive. EK makes for an exotic and always enjoyable evening.
Pros: Ambiance, Attitude, and of Course; the Food.
Cons: drawbacks? :) maybe just one...

I have been going to Dr. Rivkin since Westside Aesthetics opened and have always been happy. I have had Botox, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Cosmelan. He doesn't push products and there have been a few times when he has said "no" to me on ideas I've had. He is not afraid to say, "You are too young for that" or "You don't need that." That's pretty rare for med spas. I feel like he has very good taste; when I say subtle, he does subtle. He understands that when I get my lips enhanced, I don't want to look like an adult film star. It's strange to me that there are mixed comments here on the office staff (particularly Karen) because I really like them. That said, maybe because I have been going for awhile and am generally pretty polite, they are nice to me. I really do feel, though, like the office staff is exceptionally nice. On a side note, however, I would not advise Cosmelan. The formulation has changed and doesn't work anymore. Overall, I have a lot of confidence in Dr. Rivkin. Feel free to contact me with any questions - I have no vested interest in the practice.
Pros: Good aesthetic sense

Caitlin takes the time to sit and listen to what you want. If you can describe it, she can do it. She dedicates her time to you as the client and does not "double book" other clients during your time. She takes her work seriously but provides a very relaxed attmosphere where everyone can be themselves. She maintains my hair extensions wonderfully and treats my hair as if it were her own. In fact I'm pretty sure she worries about my hair more than I do. Thank you Caitlin.
Pros: Great with Blondes

Bossa Nova is around the corner from my house, and so I've eaten there or gotten takeout a number of times. I almost always end up getting something from the Brazilian grill or sandwich sections of the menu. (The latter is more popular with me when I'm ordering take-out.) My wife seems to always get the pasta. We've never been disappointed with our food, not even when we order take-out. I'm sure it helps that we order take-out, not delivery, and pick it up right when we were told it would be ready by.
The downside is that it can feel a little loud & bustling, but that's not a big deal because it's not like we've ever had to wait for table. Then again, I don't remember us ever eating there on a Friday or Saturday night. In fact, the food seems to go hand-in-hand with the atmosphere with its bold flavors and festive feel: I kind of feel like I'm eating my favorite backyard barbeque cooked by my Brazilian uncle (who doesn't actually exist).
In the bottom line, I think there's a very good match between the food you're served and the price you pay. It's nice to find a tasty spot in Hollywood that's not about the hype.
Pros: Flavorful meats, tasty sandwiches
Cons: Noisy and bustling

I read a few of the reviews on CitySearch before taking my girlfriend and some friends here. This place has such a great vibe. I was greeted by everyone with a smile and our waitress was so adorable. We were there during their happy hour and got major deals on our margs and beers. We started off with the free chips and salsa. And the tacos were good. My girlfriend ordered the Caesar salad and it was tasty and fresh. Some of the reviews on here are so awful. It really didnt help at all. So hopefully my review will help.
Pros: good food, beautiful staff
Cons: not a family venue

Jenna is great to work with--she's down-to-earth, really nice, polite, and courteous without any of the snobbiness that some other bakeries have. Most importantly, she seems to be passionate about baking and you can tell by trying one of her cakes! We ordered 2 Bear (chocolate) cakes and one Berry Blossom cake for our wedding. The cost of a 3-tiered cake exceeded what we budgeted for the wedding cake, but Jenna helped to accomodate our budget by making them 3 separate cakes then decorating them w/ flowers--it worked out great! The cakes are to die for--made with fresh whipped cream and berries and meringue... My mouth waters just thinking about it. The only thing we regret is not taking a big chunk of the wedding cake with us after the wedding!
