    Had a great time!…read more From the greeter at the door to the bartender, we had an awesome time. Didn't get any food - we were stuffed - but the food sounded inviting. Nice atmosphere for talking and enjoying drinks.

This place instantly became one of my favorites after just one visit. From the moment you walk in, the whole vibe hits you--the moody, neon-lit ambiance sets the tone perfectly. It feels elevated, a little edgy, and honestly just the kind of spot you want to spend your night at. The music is curated so well. Not too loud, not too mellow--just the right balance where you can vibe, have a conversation, and still feel the energy of the room. You can tell they actually care about the experience, not just throwing a playlist together. Now let's talk about the drinks... because that's really where they shine. Every cocktail feels intentional and crafted with care. You can taste the quality immediately--nothing watered down, nothing basic. They have a really cool mix of classic cocktails and modern twists, and even the familiar drinks feel elevated. It's the kind of place where you want to try something new every round because you trust the bartenders know exactly what they're doing. Service was on point too. Friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain drinks and made great recommendations, which made the whole experience even better. I came in not knowing what to expect, and left already planning my next visit. If you're in Uptown Whittier and looking for a spot with great energy, amazing cocktails, and a full vibe--The Vandalist is it. Thank me later

Could not have been happier. From the moment we walked through the heavy wooden door (fancy!) until we left- the host, the waitress, server, manager and even the owner were amazingly attentive and welcoming. When it's your birthday they put a nice sign at your table and everyone stops by to wish you an amazing bday. They also check in to make sure you're having a good time and enjoying your delicious meal. Now for the food: fresh, al dente and tasty. All adjectives you want running through your mind after the first bitesss. We ordered stuffed mushroom- hot and nicely seasoned. Mushrooms not overcooked and stuffing not overly cheesy. The shrimp linguine another hit with fresh tomatoes and jumbo shrimp with a nice snap. The light seasoning with lots of garlic was just perfect. We also ordered the beef short ribs. My friend said it melted on her mouth and the fresh mash potatoes- just right. Did I mention the portions were huge! Lots of goodies to take with us. To add to the dining experience we watched as patrons steadily came and went throughout the evening. You can tell this is a favorite for many. There were High-5s, handshakes and lots of "Welcome back friends!" Just an overall beautifully decked out neighborhood restaurant with so much heart and soul. I heard that the restaurant has been handed down from their grandparents... I'm sure they would be very proud. Highly recommend.

    I really wanted to love 19seventy, but unfortunately, the poor kitchen execution and incredibly…read moreinattentive service ruined our lunch. The meal started out well with the Caprese, which was actually good. Next came our entree, the carbonara was even worse and by far the biggest disappointment of the meal--the pasta was so overcooked that the sauce completely dried up and turned into scrambled eggs. The "poached egg" on top was also completely well-done, so it literally felt like eating boiled eggs with dry, bland pasta. After that, they brought out our other appetizer, the stuffed mushrooms, which were also noticeably under-seasoned. Finally, the pizza arrived, which was decent, but it's pretty hard to mess up a pizza. The service just made everything worse. Our server told us right at the beginning that sourdough bread was coming out, but it never arrived--we only realized it after we paid the check. Our water glasses were never refilled once throughout our stay. To top it off, when the desserts were brought out, our server just dropped them in the middle of our large table without giving us any small plates and completely disappeared. Because we were seated at the large table, it was really awkward for everyone to reach and share. Since our server was nowhere to be found, we actually had to flag down a completely different server just to get small plates. Our original server only finally resurfaced when we asked for the check. Between the bland food and the total lack of basic service, we definitely won't be coming back.

The short rib added a hearty flavor, the tortillas soft yet crispy and well balanced, the red sauce was just enough kick and comes with an egg, guacamole, and beans. You'll definitely have leftovers! Worth it! It was our friends birthday and they were nice to give an ice cream sundae! Parking is very limited on weekends so come early to find free parking.

I came to watch the Mexico vs. Ecuador World Cup match, and it was complete chaos. Nobody seemed to know where the remote was by 6pm The TVs weren't on the right channels, Telemundo and Peacock were nowhere to be found, and the main TV directly above the bar might as well have been a decorative painting. Then came the food... I ordered buffalo wings at 6:05 PM. At 6:45 PM, I asked the bartender where they were. The response? "There's a lot of tickets back there." I'm sorry... they're buffalo wings, not a five-course tasting menu or a risotto that needs constant stirring. It should not take nearly an hour to fry some wings. When they finally arrived almost an hour later which I told the bartender cancel the order I had completely lost my appetite and left If you're looking for a place to watch sports, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. Between the missing remote, and the painfully slow kitchen, this was one of the most frustrating sports bar experiences I've had. World Cup Game day, the service and sports atmosphere completely missed the goal.

This had to be a special occasion to make the drive. Aaaand yes! It was still worth the drive. Still looked the way i remembered. Service was great as well. Christine was our waitress. She was attentive and sweet. Despite that my lobster tail took a while to come out ( and if it wasn't for Christine being so helpful and nice I'm sure this would be a totally different review) Everything was so delicious. Started off with the spicy edamame which I could literally drink the sauce they make them in. We also had the crab hand rolls. Those were so warm and tasty! Followed by the yummy rolls. Queen roll with the strawberry on top was my fav! Azabu crunchy roll had a perfect crunch and gives you a mouthful of deliciousness (2nd fav) Then the rock n roll rocked our world! That was a party in my mouth with all the flavors. (3rd fav) We got the keto roll and the only reason it was my least favorite is because we felt the cucumber overpowered the sushi and mango. Both me and my husband ate just what was in the inside of the cucumber it was way better. We didn't eat the cucumber. When the lobster finally came luckily it was worth the wait!!! I highly recommend the lobster tail! Full of flavor! The butter my flavoring was mouth watering. Truly enjoyed every bite! Last but not least our dessert. I ordered the chocolate cake roll! Wow!!! It truly hit the spot. Christine also brought a berry ice cream for the long wait of my lobster tail. It was so good! I thought I was full but it was so good I kept on eating it. This was a great way to celebrate my husband for Father's Day. Thank you Azabu's and Christine!

The food was amazing, very flavorful, colorful, and served with grace. Our waiter was fantastic, and the owner was just amazing. He was extremely friendly and made sure everything was okay. The drinks were delicious, the Asada plate was wonderful, the meat was so tender and juicy, the chili relleno was different from what you think it would be, but also very delicious.

They look just like bagged Costco shrimp. Flavor is ok on the chips you get when you sit down. No salsa as this is a Oaxaca style spot. The mole drizzle on top is ok. The biggest issue is that the online web menu did not match what was available in the restaurant on a weekend. No tlayuda or huarache/sope or tacos even. Bizzare and not cool because when we arrived, we realized this and still decided to stay. So. Thats on us. Would not return. This place is cute inside and I could tell it wants to be trendy and cute. The music was loud and kinda clubbey but still not enough to make the food enjoyable. Alcohol drinks are very pretty, aesthetically. Waitresses also were not busy on a weekend at dinner time. I could see that they were chatting in the corner. There was only one other table there so I get it. However, when she got our order. It was wrong so that rubbed me the wrong way.

Street…read moreparking is available and wasn't hard to find, probably because we came during off-hours after lunch. We were greeted right away and given the option to sit inside or outdoors. Of course, we chose the patio since it was such a beautiful day, and the view of the water fountain made it even better. The sound of the water created a very relaxing and refreshing atmosphere. Our server was pleasant and friendly. She could have been a bit more attentive, as she didn't check on us much, but overall the service was still good. The food was delicious. I'd definitely recommend this place if you're looking for good Italian food. I loved the sauce on the chicken piccata, and the pesto sauce on the pasta with shrimp, scallops, and mushrooms was excellent. Yum. The salad was good, but nothing too special, it felt like it was missing something. I noticed none of the salads included beets, and I personally love beets on a salad. The goat cheese and pine nuts were a great addition, but I think beets would have made it even better. Overall, the food, ambiance, and service were solid. It's on the pricier side, but I would come back.

I ordered the Linguine Pescatore: * Calamari cooked so hard it could qualify as tire rubber * TWO shrimp... and somehow both still had their "natural accessories" attached * Clams survived the disaster * Presentation looked like the plate gave up on life before reaching the table My girlfriend ordered the Pollo Milanesa: * Marinara sauce had enough salt to preserve ancient mummies * Veggies were cooked into retirement * Portion looked like inflation personally attacked the kitchen Now let's talk about the margarita... Tasted like Costco margarita mix with emotional damage added for free. Also why did I receive: * one wine menu * one cocktail menu * one food menu * probably another hidden menu somewhere in the kitchen By the time I finished reading everything, brunch almost became dinner. Ratings: Service: 3/10 Food Quality: 1/10 Price: 1/10 (and I'm being charitable like a nonprofit organization) Overall Experience: 2/10 The best thing served today was the parking.
