For my best friend's birthday I chose to take her to Tiramisu because I had read good things about it on CitySearch. I was able to make reservations a day in advance for a party of four on Friday night quite easily. When we arrived the atmosphere was very relaxing and mellow. We were able to have a conversation without music or noise drowning us out. When it came to food, I've never really liked red meat but the rib eye steak was delicious. I also tried the salmon filet,it was great too. One of our friends had linguine with mussels, she said it was wonderfully prepared.
The desserts were out of this world, we shared the special which was a chocolate roulette filled with a creamy-custard-y filling, the creme brulee and the tiramisu. Our time there was fantastic, everyone enjoyed themselves, the staff was very personable and helpful... Tiramisu didn't leave any room for dissatisfaction.
Pros: incrediblely relaxed atmosphere, great food, pleasant waiter
Cons: None

This place is great! I love the crab and shrimp enchiladas. The margaritas are awesome and definitely pack a punch. Really... the only problem is that it's far from my home, so I don't get to go there too often.
Pros: Margaritas and Food
Cons: Occasional wait

I was a little perplexed on the terms of service reading previous reviews about this place. However, I found it tasty and service was fine. Most reviews are accurate, I just felt I had a bone to pick with the "Tude Snude and Rude" review-ist. Please don't account this ignorant review into your "research" for Cafe Bizou, it is very clear that the review was written by an arrogant individual ("Cafe Bizou certainly has mastered the arrogant ways of their culture"). For anyone to judge such a beautiful old culture is prejudiced and disgusting. In my experience, the French are only ignorant towards the American, but how can they not be when the American populace is giving them such incentive as ugly one-liners such as the aforementioned.
Other than that the food was DIVINE. I came in for lunch so the service was much much better.

I can't believe some of the reviews I am reading here! I've always been treated well at Spazio. The first time I came here, the owner sat us right in front of the stage which was awesome. The second time we asked to be seated in the back for dinner. I recommend their French Onion soup!

In fact, it's so good that went I went back to vist NY, I found myself missing Santino's pizza. In addition, the owners and the staff are courteous, friendly, and welcoming. Overall, a great place.

Cons: None

I grew up in a Portuguese-American community and have spent many vacations in Portugal and Madeira. I can assure anyone wondering about authenticity that Natas pastries are as good, or better, than any Portuguese sweets I've ever had. I love everything they sell and the owners and counter staff could not be nicer. Here is a place that truly deserves great success and merits the nice user reviews it's gotten. GO but not if you're trying to lose pounds.
Pros: Incredibly delicious desserts, authentic Portuguese cooking
Cons: It's not next door to me

Jinky's never fails to serve up fresh, hot, tasty breakfast dishes that definitely can't be found at your local Denny's or IHOP. With strawberry banana pancakes to die for, and several variations of eggs benedict, Jinky's is a place where breakfast also works for lunch and dinner.
The casual and cozy atmosphere is comprised of mismatched artwork covering the walls, and wooden farm animal figurines placed strategically on counters and window sills. The servers here believe in team work, and you can expect at least three different smiling faces to cross your table with iced green tea refills or an extra side of maple syrup.
Prepare to spend roughly $20.00 here for a well thought out breakfast dish, and maybe even bring a bit more for a platter of pancakes to share. Saturday and Sunday mornings mean waiting at least 30 minutes, but they provide complimentary coffee and water.
Back in college, my friends and I had Jinky's Tuesdays every week at 2:00. We'd order a plate of crispy crinkle-cut cut fries to start, followed by our various breakfast dishes including eggs florentine, a giant breakfast burrito or the Jinky's Nitro scramble.
To sum it up, this is a great meeting place for friends and family to have a delicious meal, with great service. My only qualm is the tight parking lot, which sends most to the neighboring side streets.
Pros: Unique & Delicious Dishes
Cons: Parking

This is hands-down the best Greek place in the entire San Fernando Valley. The large menu offers many wonderful choices and, on weekend nights, live music is accompanied by the lively staff members dancing traditional jigs from their homelands. Just make sure you don't sit too near the band or the dance floor. The pita bread is shipped in from back East and it is incredible, and there is an extensive selection of imported Greek wines.

I've eaten here a dozen times and their lunch buffet is always great! These guys are the same people that own Moksha and both restaurants are great and will not disappoint when you're looking for some great authentic Indian food.
Pros: Great lunch buffet.
