The plush loveseats and faint music are enough to put you to sleep after dinner. That being said dinner was magical not only is their tomato soup an excellent match with their garlic broccolini flat bread but the scallops were very well done and have an amazing flavor. The 8ounce steak was ordered medium rare and was extremely tender and flavorful the tagliatelle bolognese was creamy and came with great fresh herbs on top. The drinks were also amazing the blackberry mocktail and especially the blackberry vodka cocktail that cocktail is enough to have you swimming in the hotel pool. Overall very satisfied with the food, drink and especially the aesthetic of the restaurant. Much love to our wonderful staff that night for the sorbets on our anniversary dinner. Many thanks.

Great all around. Staff was friendly and seemed eager to accommodate my every need which is rare.read more

Some meals feed you. This one converted us. We walked into…read moreThe Running Goose for an early lunch and left as devotees. Start with the "farm vegetables" carrots, yes, but carrots the way a poet means them. Sweet, blistered, singing. And then the aioli..... oh the aioli. I don't know what wizardry was in it and I've decided I don't want to. Some mysteries are better kept as mysteries you can drive back to. My wife and I looked at each other over that plate the way people do when they realize the afternoon has just changed shape. We are coming back for it. Every day. For the rest of our lives. Put a plaque on our table. .....The salmon belly burger was mine and I guarded it like family silver, rich, silky, the kind of fat that melts into everything around it. My wife had the smoked beet quesadilla, which arrived smelling like a good fire and tasted like someone had thought very hard about beets and finally gotten it right. She offered me a bite. She regretted offering me a bite...... And the owner served us himself. Warm, and present, the kind of host who tells you about a dish because he's proud of it, not because it's a script. That pride is all over the food. You can taste the years of devotion in it. Go. Sit down. Order the vegetables first. Let someone who cares about cooking feed you a real, considered, and generous plate. This is what a neighborhood restaurant is supposed to feel like.

What a great find in Hollywood…read more The Running Goose delivered from beginning to end. The kale salad was amazing, followed by the pork belly pincho with a beautiful char. The duck was exactly how I like it: crispy without being burnt and packed with flavor. And then there was the Gringo Burger for my gringa, which she loved. We finished with the Pavlova, which was the perfect ending. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, and the kind of place that makes you start thinking about what you'll order the next time before you've even left. We'll definitely be back.

We got the nachos and the burger trio and the filet burger sandwich. It was all good esp the filet burger which had 2 big slices of steak! The trio sliders were so good and love the bun with a lot of French fries. The nachos was a big bowl too with all the fixins-guac, beans, cheese choice of chicken or ground beef! This is a neighborhood gem and I'd make it a destination place to go to too. The place has a nice bar area with tvs too Thank you Keith for the wonderful service.

First off, I'm sad to know they are closed :(…read more The last time I went there was around the holidays before the end of the year and enjoyed some good wings and a couple of drinks. The staff was friendly and very attentive. The wings and drinks themselves were super flavorful and I thought I would have more time to enjoy and come back to visit while in town. My partner also tried their burger and fries and decided to stop by the restaurant only to find out they closed a couple of months ago. It was worth the visit when we went there back in December.z The place was cute and it felt comfy.

This place has been all over my feed forever as one of the best smash burgers in LA, so I was…read moreexcited to finally try it out! We stopped in on a Sunday around 11:30, no line and very quick service! Finished eating and left around 12:05 so we must've lucked out with no line. We got two double cheese burgers and the loaded fries. The burger had impressively thin patties with a really nice char on the meat skirt, well seasoned, and perfectly crispy. The buns were quite small and a bit smooshed, but they were soft. It came with some fry sauce and pickles as well, overall a good burger. The fries had a good amount of toppings (cheese onions, fry sauce) and were nice and crispy. Kinda wish the onions were slightly more grilled for some extra flavor! Would probably go for plain next time as the loaded fries and burger together had similar flavors The interior has a few benches for seating and single bar type seating around the perimeter - I could see it filling up if there's a big line of people. Would like to try the chicken sandwich and brussel sprouts next time we stop by!

Harken back when I was a wee lad bouncing around the play place of the Golden Arches. Not a care in…read morethe world and not a thought behind my eyes. I have carried life's burden and traveled continents, but one thing remains the same after my many moons of life, the taste of a Big Mac. The taste of a burger so consistent and familiar, that my tastebuds can traverse continents and taste fermented shark in the Netherlands, broiled Mackerel in Kyoto, or a cheeseburger in Reykjavik. The Big Mac stays the same. I went to LA to taste, apparently, the best burger in LA at For the Win. I paid $25 for two smash burgers and had high expectations. After all, when you click this joint on Google Maps, a fancy review pops up. Nice! However, when the smash burger entered my cave and caressed my buds, my mind instantly recognized it as a Big Mac. Therefore, my brain could hardly differentiate between a McDonalds burger, and the "best" burger in LA. I haven't eaten at McDonalds in 14 years, but my mind still knew what a gentle and warm face looks like. So overall, it was alright! As the reverend Shane Gillis says "Not Bad". The service was good tho. And the ambiance was a bit weird because the music was off. Haha bye!!!

been coming here for nearly 6/7 years now and i'm never disappointed. the servers and hostesses get…read moreyou situated very quickly once you are off the waitlist. while there's only less than a handful of things to do while you wait, the views are nice if you just want to sit outside (limited benches & areas) and enjoy the area. beachwood market is a great place to kill some time and explore a quaint neighborhood market; rip to the beachwood "gift shop" prior to 2021! there's basically no way to go wrong at this restaurant; everything is so delectable. i gravitate towards their cheeseburger (sans cheese haha) with their panko fries. i've had their breakfast french toast, scramblettes, chicken sandwiches, cauliflower, and baked goods; all are amazing. i've had a variety of their drinks, though i will say these do not come with refills and are a smaller serving size. servers are always incredibly sweet and helpful. i've ate here alone and with groups of people and receive the same superb service each time. i absolutely love bringing friends here for the first time. if you're feeling it, you can drive up about a mile and park to do a really quick Hollywood sign hike! the neighborhood is nestled pretty into the hills, and the roads are very curvy the more north you go, so it can get steep if you park out of the immediate radius of the area. there are lots of places to visit just within a 20 minute drive, so this is a great stop before or after you've gone shopping, hiking, or site-seeing! literally right off the 101, you can go right to universal studios, warner brothers studio lots, & the hollywood bowl if you go up north. if you stay below the valley, you can get to sooo many LA spots quickly: walk of fame, TCL theatres, sunset blvd, etc. if the traffic isn't too bad going down south, i recommend the Academy Museum, the Grove, & LACMA, which are all walking distance to each other. overall, a fave place to go and branch out and do other things in the area!

Finally made it to Beachwood Cafe!…read more On a random Sunday, I was dreading how crowded it was going to be, but I was pleasantly surprised. Upon walking in, the crowd of people were waiting for tables so I was able to head left to the register/counter. For my first meal here, I wanted to try the 12" Micky D's Dropout pizza (minus onions). As I looked around, there was a decent amount of seating from stools against the windows to a private room with curtains open off the register area. Bright, airy and busy were my first impressions. I have to say service was a standout; I had stood at the register for not even a moment when a nice girl smiled and said someone would be right with me and right then, a guy came on over to take my order and answer any questions I had. As for the food, I enjoyed this unique pizza. The sauce had a slight kick to it for my weak palate, and I think my favorite part of this was the pickles throughout. Crust was crispy, and overall, it was filling. Looking forward to my next visit, either to dine in or getting it to go... Okay, my following visit was the next day and I loaded up on grease (bacon) and starch (breakfast potatoes and panko crusted fries). Bacon and breakfast potatoes were good, fries were okay but even at okay, I wiped the plate clean. Service once again was A+, and one day I'll dine in to have the whole experience. Finally a third trip within the week, I had the s'mores latte and chocolate chip pancakes. I wish the latter came in 2 instead of 3 since I never finish all of them, but they were okay. I'd skip the latte next time and try something else that I'm sure is good. The only thing that prevents this from being 5-stars is that the price on the receipt for the pizza I had is higher than the online menu. It's only a couple dollars difference (GF crust is additional but I did not order that) but I wish they were all on the same page. I admit it was the higher price on their physical menu, but I hope they can update accordingly. I know the excuse would be the typical 'prices are subject to change without notice'... Parking is actually pretty good from what I've experienced so far on a weekend and during the week; they have suggestions on their website which I posted below-

Super convenient and fun that it's open late at night too. This would be perfect after a long night out. My friends and I came here to grab drinks and a burger before a concert at the Palladium, shoutout Hippie Sabotage. The whole establishment was open where you can see all of outside, we sat on the patio area where the sun was beaming at our faces lol Service here was pretty bad, our server didn't come much to ask for refills for beers or ring our check up. The burgers were pretty good, I especially enjoyed the fries. I ordered "The Cheese Burger" which was a classic cheeseburger. It was juicy and the bun was great too. It's like a gourmet burger but not worth $17, it should be priced at like $12-$15 at most! But the fries were seasoned perfect and my type of fries. Ketchup here was good too, I dont usually like it but it now I love it.

I knock one star for the sogginess- granted it came out perfectly but the contents moisture quickly reduced the structural integrity of my fantastic burrito.

The service here is excellent and everything ran smoothly with zero issues. The bread and butter here is excellent while waiting for your meal. I had the beef stroganoff, which is a comfort dish for me. It's hearty and delicious so I couldn't wait to try this dish. I was certainly surprised because I was not expecting it to be incredibly flavorful. It was so good I couldn't stop eating it. Highly recommended! We ended our meal with the devil's advocate flourless chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream, which was delicious for being flourless. What a perfect way to end a tasty meal. My only complaint is the parking because we didn't know where we could park. We ended up getting a ticket because we thought we could park nearby. Definitely recommend asking where to park to avoid a ticket. Overall, we very much enjoyed our dining experience and will certainly be back to try other menu items.

Another great dining experience on all levels. This time was for DineLA, which was such a value…read more The room has a great vibe with different seating options indoors (including bar) and outdoor space and window adjacent tables. We started with the farmhouse beets, a delicious balance of beets, arugula and dressing topped with candied pecans. The portion was more than enough so we boxed some up to leave room for the main course. Our mains were the wagyu beef stroganoff and the trout filet with blistered green beans. The stroganoff and pappardelle arrived in its own covered dish, so hot it sat on a wood base. While it was a good comfort food dish I thought the horse radish was a little too forward for my taste. It was my companion's entree and she really enjoyed it and there was enough to take home. I had the trout filet with its crispy pepita topping served with blistered green beans. Very happy with my choice and it was also a generous portion. Dessert was the yuzu olive oil cake for my friend and butterscotch budino for me. I loved the balance of butterscotch, crème fraiche, salt and pecans. And the pecan cookie was a great accompaniment. She enjoyed her selection as well. Corkage fee is $20. From the ambiance to the food and service, it was another great experience here. Parking was easy with metered parking along Beverly.

Our server, Kimi V. was also great. We tried the Shrimp Pasta (10/10, highly recommended), the Crispy Chicken Wings (10/10. They make these in a particular way, please ask them to explain it to you: the end result is fantastic), fish tacos (7/10, they're good, but I am neither a fish nor a taco person (however, I do like some good shrimp tacos). These ones in particular were plated and served so well ( they use blue corn tortilla: top-notch ingredient) and the ingredients were fresh, but maybe it was the type of fish? I don't really know, they were good, but I definitely would not order them again). Also, my friend had a coconut cold brew which he really enjoyed. Service was all around great. Ambiance was fantastic, the whole restaurant has a very upscale, chic vibe while also being unique in its own way. Even the restroom, that was super clean and well-maintained, has a very unique and interesting setup for what is the sink. All around great place, highly recommended. 10/10. UPDATE: Added names and more clarification on the fish tacos. Thank you to the GM in leaving a response. Your whole team is fantastic. I'll definitely be back.
