went for the 8PM show which was really fun, very talented improv group, no apparently weak members. the group was very comfortable with each other and responsive to the crowd. love, love, loved the piano accompaniement, really added a sense of polish to the show. cast was friendly with audience after the shows. Also, they let us stay for later shows, which were also fun, though bigger crowds in the 7 and 8PM shows.
Pros: intimate venue, easy location
Cons: parking---check all posted restrictions, BYO....snacks,etc

I have eaten at Anajak for over 15 years. The food is consistantly good with several specialties I would highly recommend. Don't miss the Chan Ram, Pad Thai, Seafood Soup for Two, and The Chicken Curry (if you like spicey food). Also don't miss their Thai Iced Tea unless you are on a diet. The staff has always been excellent and with dinner for my wife and I under $30 (more if you have a glass of Plum Wine or Beer)
you can't go wrong.
Pros: Food
Cons: Parking

If you are looking for a Los Angeles staple with heart, you have found your place. Service was decent (I am very particular) and the food solid...I will be back to try out Sunday brunch. Nice, quiet, and romantic in my opinion....

Burke Williams Spa in Sherman Oaks is so comforting and homey! The only thing I didn't like about the decor was the antlers? That was wierd. The staff was very friendly and attentive. My facialist , Lilly, was wonderful! She give the most amazing massage! I felt like I got a facial and a massage!! She was very sweet, and not too pushy with products. I will definitely go back to her. I do miss the fruit water.

doesn't look like much from outside, but you walk in and the place feels a little glamourous and high end. the food is phenomenal [try the pineapple shrimp curry; the pad thai's great too!], and so very affordable - even the saketini's and other drinks.
<br><br>
the staff is reliably nice and the decor is ever-changing, but always simple and artistic.
<br><br>
don't walk in thinking you're at a fast food joint and you'll walk out satisfied and for half the price of most thai joints.
<br><br>
kinda romantic but i also like to take out of town guests since it feels a little luxurious and sort of secret since it's never very full.
Pros: elegant, affordable, delicious, parking is easy.
Cons: the bathroom's a little awkward...

I recently got a men's haircut at Salon True and Sarah was Amazing! I had an old looking style and I felt like I was on one of those make over shows. I left looking and feeling great! I usually have to come home after a haircut and make some "personal" adjustments, trim a little here and there but she NAILED IT!! She rocks and I highly recommend her. Sarah rules!
Pros: Location, Chic
Cons: None

When we arrived we used the valet service (no problems). We were seated promptly and ordered lamb samosas, chicken tikka masala, matar paneer, garlic naan and rice.
Service: A++++
The service was excellent, the waiter checked on us periodically and the food came out of the kitchen at lightening speed.
Lamb Samosas: C+
The samosas tasted all right, but were a bit dry and fell apart entirely when I attempted to break it apart with my fork. Ground meat inside was flavorful, but lacked interest.
Chicken Tikka Masala: A-
The best dish we ordered here. The sauce was creamy and just the perfect level of spicy heat. Great over our garlic naan or rice.
Matar Paneer: C
The matar paneer was a bit too watery and lacked any stand-out flavor. It was passable, but I would order something else when I eat here again.
Garlic Naan: A-
Great flavor and texture, a little burnt on the edges.
Rice: B
No problems with the rice, just plain ol' rice. Some of the Indian restaurants I frequent add rice or herbs to the rice to make it more interesting.
Overall: I'd recommend the place for decent Indian food.

We wandered in after a terrible experience at another nearby restaurant . What a great surprise! The atmosphere is a bit dated, but the manager and our waitress (Jeri) were both TERRIFIC, and the food was excellent as well. The frites are outstanding, and the bread is warm and crusty - it's just to die for! I'd recommend the baked brie, mussels, and all the meat choices. The fish was nothing exciting, although the portion was enormous. Dessert crepes were very well done. What a warm neighborhood gem! We will definitely be back - they rescued what would have otherwise been a disasterous night!
Pros: Food and service are excellent
Cons: Parking on Ventura Blvd, atmosphere is dated
