    Inside Cafe Amara
    Vincent G.

    A small cafe in a commercial building in Beverly Hills. That Lady went in for an out-patient procedure, while waiting I decided to grab a bite. At first it looked like a small coffee shop but turned out they did so much more. I ordered an Americano, chicken noodle soup and a sandwich. The people are friendly and helpful. The sandwiches are made to order and the soup is fresh each day. The Chicken Noodle soup is tasty with a nice fresh cilantro garnish and served with old fashioned soda crackers, for a diner feel. The Pastrami Sandwich on ciabatta bread was tasty, not overly meaty but satisfyingly filling. Their Americano is strong and hot, the real deal Arabica taste. .

    This spot is popular with the medical staff and its patients! The first time I tried to go, the line was too long for me and my short parking meter so I decided to come back. After seeing the doc, I came down where the lovely barista was chatting with one of the medical building employees. It seemed their transaction ended a while ago but the conversation was that good! I love knowing the barista has a personality she shares with patrons! They have alllll the milks and alllll the fancy syrups so you can customize your drink as you'd like. And their large latte comes with 3 shots - you've been warned - and it's fabulous!! Cheese danishes are my weakness and theirs was looking large and in charge so I snagged it and ate it before pics were taken. Whooops- guess I'll have to go back and try again ;) With a small/nonexistent line, I'd love to come back. The barista is kind and as Mother's Day was just around the corner we discovered that we were both pet moms! My visit ended with reciprocal wishes to have a "happy Mother's Day", in honor of our fur babies, and I walked off toward the car, chirping birds as my soundtrack.

    Cafe Amara is, sure, a go-to lunch spot for local professionals--but it's also so much more. To me, it's a true neighborhood diner. The food? Seriously good and always consistent. Our regulars are the chicken noodle soup, egg sandwich, and the salads (which are a feast). The chef is totally on point. Service is always warm and kind--same woman every time, and she's great. If Amara were in a trendier part of town, there'd be a line out the door every day.

    This place is absolutely amazing! No matter what you order, you're going to love it. Every single thing on the menu is packed with flavor, and you truly can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches. I've been coming here for lunch regularly over the past six months, and I've tried every single sandwich on the menu -- seriously! The owner is super friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. If I had to pick a favorite, it would definitely be the chicken wrap. It's my go-to -- flavorful, fresh, and always hits the spot. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great food and even better vibes! This place is absolutely amazing!

    Hungry pregnant woman right here! Every time I leave my doctor's next door, I stop at Cafe Amara. The food is amazing and so fresh. My favorites are the ham and cheese egg croissant, the chicken Caesar salad, and the chicken soup. The place itself is super clean and relaxed and the employees are very nice and attentive. Love this place!

    If you haven't discovered Dialog Cafe yet, you're genuinely missing out. I stumbled upon this place…read morerecently and it has quickly become one of my favorites in the city. The food is incredible across the board. Salads, breakfast, protein bowls, fresh juices, cookies, everything I've tried has been absolutely delicious. My husband and I have even started making it our go-to spot for mid-week dinners, which really says it all. The coffee is top-tier, and the cookie is a literal religious experience. The setting is something special too. The building has a beautiful history rooted in the architecture of the Sunset Strip, and sitting outside with the buzz of the city while you work on your laptop or catch up with someone over a great meal is just hard to beat. The service is just as wonderful as the food. Hector is always so warm and helpful and keeps everything running smoothly, which is really impressive given how popular this place is. A neighborhood staple for good reason. Five stars, easily!

This place has been such a staple in hollywood and it's always good. I love that they change the menu to try new things but also keep some of the old goodies. Today i tried the new broccoli dish and the steak frites with salad . So so so good!! Sauce on the steak was fantastic. The fries were excellent . I'm not a French fry person (i don't order because i try to stay away from fried food) and it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - seasoned perfectly and pairs well with the aioli sauce. The eggs and morning plates are some of my favorite things here for breakfast and i love their croissants and cookies!! The chicken Caesar wrap is a huge hit and i know the Gen Z's love this according to my younger sister lol. I feel like you can't go wrong here, always something for everyone. We've brought friends and family here over the years and we'll always continue to do so. The service is also super friendly . I love that they expanded to the side walk because the wait times used to be even crazier when it was just the patio . I remember sooo well. Love the expansion. I know there's more changes and new things to come as time progresses and we'll be here to see it :)

    I enjoyed one more happy hour and one more early dinner before they closed for good…read more During the HH, I had the truffle french fries and the pepperoni pizza. Fries were good this time, but I would go without the pizza in the future. On their final opening night I arrived too early; forgetting that dinner didn't start for an hour so I had the fries (again) while waiting for dinner. Thankfully, the order was put in a little earlier and I was able to enjoy the Penne alla Vodka. I was on the fence about the 20-Layer Cake but I ended up caving in, getting it to go for later. Unlike the first time I got this, they now had a perfect, custom box for the slice to fit whereas before they had to cut the cake in half to fit it into the box they had at the time. I know the New York location has delivery/to-go only, but there is still the Las Vegas one. Sad to see this place close down, as the location seems to be a curse for so many places (Hamburger Hamlet, Rivabella, Roku, now Lavo...).

    During my foodie relatives' Thanksgiving week visit to Honolulu, we were discussing making…read morerestaurant reservations for our upcoming Christmas/New Year visit to Los Angeles. However, after we raved about our multiple dining experiences at LAVO Las Vegas, we were surprised to learn that none of our relatives had ever dined at the restaurant's Los Angeles location. So, when the opportunity arose, I made an after-Christmas dinner reservation through OpenTable and excitedly waited. We knew exactly where LAVO Los Angeles was located, as we had frequently driven past the Sunset Medical Tower on Sunset Boulevard and had eaten at the same restaurant space before it changed hands several times over the past decade or so. They offer valet service, which only accepts credit card payments, and because of the restaurant's location, you might as well use the service, because you'd be hard-pressed to find street parking. Our group of six arrived at the restaurant about 30 minutes before our reservation and were greeted by a friendly hostess who asked whether we were ready to be seated or preferred to wait in the bar. We chose to be seated, and she escorted us into the quiet, warm, yet festively decorated dining room. The busser approached us, took our water service request, and informed us about who our server would be. Our server, Addison, came to our table while the busser refilled our water glasses and offered assorted citrus slices to flavor them. After my brother-in-law showed Addison the magnum of wine he brought and asked if the sommelier could uncork the bottle, since it was not only a 2006 vintage but also had a long, possibly fragile cork, even though they kept the bottle in their personal wine storage. Unfortunately, they didn't have a sommelier on duty, and Addison informed us of the restaurant's impending end-of-year closure and confidently said she could uncork it with her trusty corkscrew. However, my brother-in-law decided to give it the "ol' college try" and successfully uncorked the bottle. FOOD: -Fritto Misto: a platter of lightly battered and fried zucchini, shrimp, calamari, and vinegary peppers with marinara was delivered to our table and was quickly shared and devoured. Everyone felt the fritto misto was light, delicious, and perfectly cooked. $28 -The Meatball: We've often seen this appetizer ordered at the Las Vegas site, but we never ordered it because we felt it was too much food to share between us. However, now that we had our family surrounding us, we ordered it. The 16-oz meatball is made with fresh-ground imperial Wagyu, Italian sausage, and veal. It is served with whipped ricotta and marinara. We shared the tender, toothsome meatball among us and sopped up the sauce with garlic bread. $34 -Semolina Sesame Garlic Bread: Addison highly recommended this garlic bread to pair with The Meatball and sipping on our Cabernet blend wine. The lightly grilled-toasted loaf was served with three dipping sauces (marinara, basil pesto, & Gorgonzola dolce). $18 -Zitoni Genovese: braised short rib, sweet onions, pecorino Romano. I received a generous portion of Neapolitan or Sicilian zitoni pasta (larger ziti tubes) and an intensely flavorful, tomato-wine-based, fall-apart tender, slow-braised short ribs ragù. This comfort-food pasta dish was so rich and filling that I could barely eat half the portion and ended up bringing home leftovers. $33 -Faroe Island Salmon Oreganato: My husband cut into the salmon filet, which had a light crisp coating of breadcrumbs and revealed the fillet's tender medium-rare doneness. The rich, buttery-tasting salmon filet sat atop a melange of sautéed vegetables and was dressed with a lemon, white wine, and garlic butter sauce. My husband jokingly said he could feel his heart health improving with each bite. $39 The rest of my family ordered their own entrees, and when we were nearly finished with our meals, we decided to share a dessert. We ordered the luscious 20 Layer Chocolate Cake ($29), and each of us commented on the "decadence" of chocolate, peanut butter, and mascarpone. During our dining experience, Addison informed us that LAVO Los Angeles would sadly be closing at the end of the year. We were happy to have supported this restaurant, and it was great to see so many others show their support during the Holidays.

Everything is fairly reasonable, including great deals on their weekday happy hour 3pm to 6pm, featuring $12 Draft Cocktails, $10 glasses of wine, $7 draft beer and a small variety of Bar Snacks. I have been to their Venice location on Abbot Kinney Blvd and the vibes are similar, but more beachy and crowded. Both take reservations and I definitely recommend on weekends and end of the weeknights. Definitely team The Butcher's Daughter - West Hollywood. Be back soon :)
