    Cheese board
    Desiree J.

    LOVE Buvette. The wine selection is vast and the bartenders/wine enthusiasts are extremely knowledgeable. They will help find the optimal varietal for your desired interest. The menu is also super good, but is limited. Adorable little booths on the side with a few bar seats and a couple tables outside. We love bringing our dog and sitting on the patio. The decor is super cute. This location is very small, maybe 30ish ppl max? Perfect for a date night, drink and apps, or dinner. Happy Hour is great and the wines on it aren't just low shelf like a lot of places do, they're always rotating which is fun. Cheese boards are always great. The staff is always so incredibly kind.

    This is the cutest little wine bar! I went with two friends, and I would not recommend going with more than 2. They did have seating, but it's definitely an intimate setting. The bartender was extremely helpful, and let me try 3 different wines before settling on a glass. I really appreciated the care taken! Overall, I can't wait to return and try more.

    Ahhh Buvette you gorgeous local haunt! We enjoyed yet another Union Sacré wine with an incredible charcuterie board. I had to get all fancy with the combos but this was an incredible date night walk by. I can't recommend this place enough, it's cute, chique, and has a great selection of wines. The service is, as always, impeccable and sweet. Ya'll rule, thank you for a lovely evening!

    Been scooting pass this 'lil sliver of a bar for years shuffling over to Tipsy Cow in the early afternoon as it is boarded up closed until 4pm. Little did I know this piece of Jenga in between the Cow and Toast is a cozy place of R&R with great wine picks, small selection of good beer, pristine cocktails as well as great small bites (tinned fish ftw) and even better [bar] tenders. Very welcoming, knowledgeable staff. Must try.

    My friend turned 40 and we decided the throw her a "Where's Waldo" 40th birthday crawl with intentions of us all dressing as Waldo and hopping from place to place down Ventura Blvd, seeing what we could get into. Buvette was the first place of the night and I'm SO GLAD we made a stop here. This place is small but mighty. A nice wine and cocktail list only (get your beer next door), small booth seating on the inside and a small intimate patio outside. It's a nice place for lovers, no doubt, but our group made it a little rowdy for the evening. That's ok. Everyone had good laughs staring at us dressed alike. We bought a bottle of French wine to toast the birthday girl (this one was very good! Lightly sweet with citrus notes, extremely refreshing), and the bartender was such a help to us the time we were there! He pulled out glasses for everyone to toast, he was our photographer and our cheerleader. Thank you! I want to come back on a date. I'll be back.

    Stopped in on a Tuesday evening and had a nice experience overall. It was busy, but I was able to…read morefind street parking without much trouble. There was no wait when we arrived. The setup is fast-casual style, where you order at the bar and then find a seat. The staff was excellent throughout the visit. They were patient, took the time to answer questions, and did a great job explaining the different wine options. They also let us sample a few wines before deciding, which I always appreciate. I ended up ordering the Rosso Veronese. It was dry overall but had a touch more sweetness than I expected, which made it easy to drink given I'm not much of a wine connoisseur. We also benefited from a special on the wine because it had been featured at an event the previous day. The space itself was comfortable and inviting. We grabbed a spot on one of the couches, which gave the evening a more relaxed feel compared to a typical wine bar setup. Pricing is about what you'd expect for a wine-focused spot. It's not inexpensive, but it didn't feel unreasonable either, especially considering the service and atmosphere. Between the knowledgeable staff, the opportunity to sample wines, and the comfortable setting, I'd happily come back and try a few more selections.

    We've been twice…read more While it is a lovely space, we were not made to feel welcome, and the "stand in line to order at the bar" system was chaotic and kept us from ordering more than we did. They have great bottles, but very short pours, and the hospitality that makes a good place great just wasn't on display. Food was good, but service was lacking, and at the price point was not of value to us.

It's a small place and the decor didn't really feel like it matched the vibe, and the karaoke set-up was not very good. It was really hard to hear the backing music, even when you were the one singing, but this isn't the type of place that you come to "perform" for karaoke like a lot of other places in LA. It's very casual and low-pressure. Song choices were all over the place (which isn't necessarily a good or bad thing). Late night happy hour menu was decent and they offered it from 9pm on that night, and the place did get packed to standing room only. I had a hard time finding info on what their happy hour was before we went, so I took a picture to share. This was on 2/6/2026. The bartender, Brian, was very friendly, but I realized when looking at the emailed receipt afterwards that he switched one of my sibling's drinks on my tab, and I'm assuming mine got put on theirs. We have the same last name, so I understand the mix-up, but it would have been nice if he just asked about who was who instead of assuming, and it also would have been nice to see an itemized receipt before paying instead of just seeing the dollar amount we owed. Not a huge deal this time, just something that I hope they will keep in mind in the future. For food, my partner was able to get a pizza from a place across the street and bring it back into the bar, and Brian was kind enough to offer extra napkins. For other people with back problems, be aware that their bar stools do have back rests on them, but no cushions. We had a good time, and this bar seems to host special events regularly, which we may go back for eventually if the right one comes up, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back here.

But it was the only cake they had on the menu. Nobody knew why I was ordering cake. But every year I get a slice cake and I blow out a candle for what could've been. Last night I left the cake on the counter. For some reason this 10 year anniversary feels very final. At this point in my life where the option to have another kid doesn't exist anymore and there are no more "what ifs" or "could've beens" left to hope for. This morning I got up and had a bite of cake. Figuring I shouldn't let it go to waste. It was rich and moist and somehow perfect. As someone who doesn't even like chocolate, I couldn't believe how satisfying it was. I ate every last crumb. I licked the icing out of the container. And somewhere between the first bite and the last, I realized something. For ten years, I've been honoring the loss. But I've never tasted the sweetness that still exists around it. Maybe that's what this 10th anniversary is. Not pretending it didn't happen. Not forgetting him. But choosing to stop starving myself emotionally for a life that didn't unfold the way I imagined. The cake was never meant to sit there untouched. Maybe neither was I. So today, I might go back and order another slice. And this time, it won't be for what could've been. It will be for what still is. I never thought I could like chocolate cake, but it turns out I was wrong. I have spent so much time mourning that I have probably let many metaphorical delicious cakes passed me by. And I know I'm sad and emotional and dramatic right now but that cake was shockingly good. But I need more good "cake" in my life. I have literally called two friends today to tell them to try the cake at ocado. I can't promise you it will be life-changing for you, but it definitely sparked a change in me.

Sherman Oaks is gritty and the section of Ventura Boulevard that houses TLP is almost brutalist in its anti-establishment aesthetic. You would never know it was here if you didn't either live in the neighborhood or seek it out as I did. It is sandwiched between a completely non-descript place that I didn't even look at and a crystals shop with grafitti-etched windows (unfortunately!) but some really cool beads. Inside is the same -- no frills, a dress-down and survive-if-you-dare vibe. My pictures will illustrate what I mean. Nevertheless, the friendly service (shout out to our server, Patrick), the menu, and the quality of the food are well worth it. Again, see what we ordered in the photos attached. Everything was delicious. The floor, tables, and chairs were all clean. There is some kind of post-apocalypse rhumba going on with the ceiling treatment. It is almost reverse-logic art with all the shading (stains? velour movement?) and utilitarian installation it reveals. Love the walls though, and the worn distressed wood everywhere (see the pix, folks). A bonus was watching the Masters (Patrick let us linger) and sitting by a giant window that was open to the street. Parking is up a block or so on either side. We always find safe spots in Sherman Oaks. The music seemed to be one CD of an unknown (to me) vocal artist and was pleasant. The crowd was friendly and the whole atmosphere was like one big homey grunge party. You know those mornings you fall out of bed and almost don't want to change out of your pajamas or yoga threds? This is the place to go. I loved it. (NOTE: You may have to refresh this page twice to see my pictures, for some reason. grrrrrr)

I made a reservation for Easter Brunch through OpenTable for me and my son. We got there about five minutes before our reservation at noon and the hostess told us to wait outside until they were open. Not a problem. HOWEVER, she never came back out to get us once they were open which was my first red flag because she left us waiting about 10 minutes past our reservation time. I go back inside to ask if we were going to be seated for our reservation and she asks under what name...mind you I was there before opening so she already had my name and time for reservation before no one else was there yet. The food itself was great but our service was absolutely terrible. We weren't checked on throughout the meal (again the restaurant was NOT crowded) and after completing our meal I realized the hostess deleted my reservation. For those who use OpenTable you know you get points for every completed reservation. I reached out privately to management first about my overall experience to hopefully rectify the issue. I wasn't looking for any incentives but that they at least train their wait staff better and resubmit my reservation in the system so I could both redeem my points and leave a review. It never happened. In an economy where everything is expensive just stepping outside I really value good service as well as good food. If the food is great but service is terrible I will never go back and this is that spot. Discrimination shows up in different ways and I will not patronize a business who blatantly does not show all of their customers the same level of respect and service. Posted pictures so you know I'm not a hater...food was great. Service was absolutely not it lol.
