Went to the Los Angeles location at LA LIVE, My Wife and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. No reservations, we were seated immediately and began to have a great evening. Everyone was gracious and accommodating . My steak was excellence and my wife loved her scallops. The clam chowder was the best I've ever had. Had a delicate crab taste to it, I passed on the large wine list (40 mile drive). We arrived
at 5:15 , by 6:30 the place was very busy, but the crew was still checking on us frequently. Overall the settings was very romantic, we didn't tell the staff of our anniversary until leaving, but somehow the manager Omar, managed to collect signatures from the staff on a beautiful card before we left.
My wife insist we return for brithdays and our 25th anniversary of our frist meeting next month.
Pros: ambience, service
Cons: parking -1 block away, but new sights(LA LIVE)

My husband and i happened to walk into blue coral the other night with no reservation and we had no idea what to expect. From the moment we walked in everyone was so nice and the restaurant was beautiful! we were seated right away. When we sat down and looked at the menu we were slightly overwhelmed at first..there were so many choices of wine and cocktails.. not to mention a ton of vodkas.. we didnt know where to begin. Our waitresses name was Danielle, and she was great!! She started talking to us and got a feel for what we normally drink... we decided to each take her recommendations for cocktails. I had some blueberry vodka mojito and it was best drink ive ever had. My husband wanted to try a new vodka.. Danielle brought him one from iceland that we have never heard of and he loved it! We had the goat cheese appetizer to start, For dinner I tried the spicy lobster fuego dish and my husband the swordfish oscar style. Our waitress picked a nice sauvignon blanc for me to have with the fuego and a ferrari carano blend that my husband had with the swordfish. Everything was so amazing we can not wait to go back! It was so nice having this kind of personalized service! Danielle was there guiding us and was able to answer any question we had without being intrusive. She even surprised us by buying us a dessert at the end, a very flavorful creme brulee. What more could we ask for? We can not wait to dine at Blue Coral again soon and will be telling all our friends.
Pros: service, ambience, food, seated right away w/o reservation,
Cons: so many choices! you need a waitress like ours who knows everything!

I actually want to review Roy's in Anaheim at the Garden Walk just east of Disneyland on Katella. As there is no site for that yet, I'll write on this Roy's which I have been to as well. My husband and I had tickets to a concert on May 10, 2008, Saturday night during Mother's day weekend and we took our chances trying to get walk in seating. When we arrived at Roy's, Anaheim, they said they were fully booked with reservations but did offer the chef's table next to the kitchen (counter seating). We decided to try as we were very happy that another Roy's has opened closer to us. We had a great time watching the chef's do their magic and mentally taking notes of what to order next time we come. The food was excellent except for one thing I will mention in a second. We ordered the pre-fixe menu and the appetizers were great, tri-tip cooked to perfection and the ono was ono-licious except for the gorgonzola cheese on top. Too strong for my palate and of course, the molten chocolate cake...yum! We were extremely grateful to have been accomodated without reservations, enjoyed great food and the service was very professional yet not stuffy. Will definitely be returning!
Pros: food and service
Cons: chef's table was a bit on the warm side

Love this place. Excellent food. Nice atmosphere. Great music. We go often. You've got to give this place a try. Good place for friends to have drinks and dinner or just drinks and appetizers in the bar.

i went there for the first time the other day and the bartender brought me my drink within the first 5 minutes that i sat down. we only ordered appetizers: the ribs, sliders and calamari. Although they were all amazing, the calamari took the cake. It is INSANE! if u go YOU MUST try it... its not ur average calamari it has a completely different flavor. The atmosphere here was wonderful & there were tons of beautiful people hanging out and i can't think of one thing i didn't like.
Pros: food. environment. energy. people. design.

As a 49er fan, I never have the luxury of watching the game from home anymore as was the case in the late 80's and thru the 90's. As a die hard sports fan I think I finally found my home away from home on Sundays.
The only thing I love more than the $9ers are the Lakers so maybe I will try to go some weekdays for NBA action too. The service was wonderful and the food equaled the service and thanks to Citysearch I save alot on entrees with the awesome buy one get one free coupon. I hope they never get rid of that.
Pros: Lots of Televisions & Great Service
Cons: It can get VERY loud but that is to be expected at a Good Sports Bar

I wasn't too sure what to expect, but when I went there this past Saturday for my girlfriend's birthday, it was great. It was extremely large and beautiful. I sat at the sushi bar, and my chef was the head sushi chef, Abe, who was extrememly happy and friendly. Food was great, but the attentive service was best. One of our entrees was taking a bit of time, but he was on top of things. He made sure to ask about our food, so we didnt have to, and it was nice that he remembered what we ordered and actually noticed that it wasn't there. The food taking a little while to come was not a big deal, because we were not in a hurry, and we were just enjoying the atmosphere. The menu had so many interesting entrees that I wanted to try. I can't wait to go back.
Pros: Great Service, Wide Selection, Unique Items
