    B DAY Butter Cake
    gary g.

    Me & my GF FAVORITE RESTAURANT in the valley! I never had a bad bite there or a bad server. This is high quality gourmet food without the snobbiness. Food always excellent. The price isn't crazy, and the service is always down to earth and helpful. For my girls bday they gave her a dessert and still gave us a discount. You can tell the difference when a business treats you like a guest instead of a dollar sign. If you enjoy Mexican or brunch it's a MUST GO!

    Flaming Panela

    Stopped by with a friend for dinner and we had a great time! The ambiance is beautifulwith a modern and tropical vibe. Our server, Cameron, was amazing and she provided us some really helpful recommendations. What we tried: - Yellowtail passionfruit aguachile - has mango, cucumber, onion, cilantro. Super fresh, bright, and tart and a great start to our meal! - Flaming panela - get your cameras ready to catch the flaming display! We thought this one was okay, just not our personal favorite - Rib eye tacos - comes with cheese, caramelized onion, roasted jalapeño. The tacos each come with 2, and these were hands down our favorite. Oh so flavorful! - Shrimp tacos - comes with chipotle slaw and jicama avocado salsa. Also a standout and I loved the slaw and salsa pairing - Carne asada tacos - comes with guacamole and onion. Comes with a generous amount of juicy carne asada Parking: either valet ($14) or street parking

    My friends took me to Casita as I'm visiting LA. They've never been but heard good things. We had a reservation and was walked to table quickly. Our attentive waiter,Eli, welcomed us and asked us what we wanted to drink. We got margaritas. Then he mentioned a couple popular items but we ordered Guacamole, shrimp ceviche, tuna tartar, chicken taquitos, chicken enchiladas, Al pastor tacos, carne asada tacos. Overall we were impressed with Eli's service and the food quality. We would come back. If you're in the hood and want Mexican give them a try. Bonus. They allowed dogs in the place. Lively and almost fun club atmosphere

    We were a party of 3 on a Thursday. Great service and a great vibe. We got there around 5:30 when it was pretty empty, and by the time we left at 7:30 it was completely packed. We started with the yellowtail with passion fruit and tuna tartare. The yellowtail was tart and fresh, really nice to start. The tuna tartare was a bit fishy and a little too salty for my taste. Then we had carne asada chicharrones which had great flavor, but pretty chewy. The chicken wings were very crispy but over seasoned, so the flavor did not really stand out. We then had tacos. Each order comes with two each, but we added an extra one since we were three people. The ribeye was thin with a lot of onions but had good flavor. The barbacoa was solid. The carnitas was my favorite. We ended with churros for dessert. They were crunchy and sweet, probably frozen, but still a good way to finish the meal. Overall it was a good experience and I would recommend but a few short falls so 4 stars.

    Beautiful exterior of the restaurant

    Came here for drinks and bites during happy hour and was pleasantly surprised. The space is really beautiful. There is greenery throughout, warm lighting, and a bar setup that feels modern but still inviting. It definitely sets a fun, slightly elevated tone. We ordered a few tacos and their Salsa & Guacamole tower. The margaritas were really well balanced (not overly sweet), and everything came out looking great. Portions lean more towards family/ shareable style, so it's best to order a few things to share. Our server Jenna was amazing- super attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations, which really elevated the experience. The manager Nick also came by to check in, chatted with us for a bit, and even gave us his card. Just genuinely nice and made us feel taken care of. One thing to note, happy hour is bar seating only. We weren't aware beforehand, but they were able to accommodate us by moving us to high-top seating right by the bar so we could still order from the happy hour menu, which we really appreciated. It does get pretty busy and a bit loud once it fills up, so just keep that in mind if you're looking for something more low-key. Valet parking is available, which makes it easy. Overall, a great spot for drinks and appetizers! Would definitely come back to try more from the menu.

    My server and the GM , Tessa & Jake brought me back from the dead of writing reviews on yelp. If you want to be well taken care of on a dinner night out come sit in Tessa's section. They brought complimentary shots and a birthday dessert for my friend. The ambiance they bring to such a beautiful restaurant makes you not want to leave and the food is a great portion to be able to try out multiple apps and tacos. They made us all feel so special thank you for everything come eat here.

    It was the start of daylight saving and it was international women's day. The days are now longer and the weather was beautiful so I wanted to treat myself to a solo date. I also wanted to try a new restaurant in the neighborhood. I pull up and it was their happy hour so I sit at the bar. The vibe was very chill and I ended up conversing with two separate parties. I ordered my first drink, a spicy passionfruit margarita. It's a perfect blend of spicy, tart sweetness. I also had a watermelon margarita and it wasn't my favorite. I assumed it would be more refreshing than it was, but it was a bit on the sweeter side. I ordered the shrimp ceviche. While it was a refreshing starter, it lacked a bit of flavor. The waiter also forgot my chips :/. My neighbor was kind enough to give me his chips so disaster averted. I ordered the caesar salad and omg it was the highlight of my meal. It was delicious with a hint of heat from the spiced pepitas that increased the flavor. This is probably the best caesar salad this side of town. I am not even a crouton person but the seasoning on the croutons were seriously so amazing. The taquitos were pretty amazing too. I'd like to add that they are pretty generous with the guacamole. I love guac! I definitely will return to try other items on the menu.

    Beautiful restaurant with a tropical touch. I loved dining here. The open windows and beautiful weather added the perfect vibe to my Sunday. Valet, street, and nearby parking are available, although I can imagine it gets very busy at times. The Bloody Maria was perfectly balanced. I'm a big breakfast burrito gal, but I wish it had been cut in half before serving, not to pieces, and maybe the garnishes were put aside. The wrap had become very soggy, and I ended up eating it with a fork and pushing most of the tortilla aside. The servers were attentive and friendly.

    We went on a Thursday for DineLA and I think it's worth it! The food was delicious especially the fish tacos for me. The chips were essentially free flowing that we're full already towards the end and can't finish the chicken anais lol. Their salsas and other dips are dangerously good with the chips! The butter cake was not my favorite since it's a little too sweet for my liking. The cocktails at Casita are well-crafted, unfortunately you can't avail of the happy hour when you're on table seating. The servers, however, are really pleasant and even allowed us to do a round from the happy hour menu. Always a great time at this place! *Parking is valet or street parking :)

    Happy hour menu

    Came here to Casita a few years ago when it first opened and failed to do a review. However, I came here this past Saturday and it was nice! Sat at the bar and had happy hour, which is daily 4-6:30pm. I think that's awesome for happy hour on the weekend!!! Just a Brilliant idea. The food was decent not bad but could have been a lil better! The guac was good and the chicken nachos from Happy hour menu. They could have put more beans all over the nacho chips, but it was still pretty good overall 4/5 for me. I also had the passion fruit Margarita that was decent just a lil too sweet for me. The servers at the bar were all nice and on it. Fast service and great sense of humor. It wasn't too packed but very modern and nice with big and small parties. I did valet for $14 and I think that's good sense street parking is rare -Marshay D.

My husband and I stopped in on a Sunday for a quick drink before a movie, and the "vibe" was non-existent. They have four TVs at the bar, but the setup was bizarre, two were completely off and another was just frozen on a directory logo. The biggest issue, however, is the cleanliness--or lack thereof. The place is incredibly dirty. It feels like it hasn't had a deep clean in weeks, maybe longer. The bar top was disgusting, the floors were grimy, and even the woodwork looked like it hadn't seen a rag since opening day. They are charging $17 for "signature cocktails," which is bold for a spot that feels like a neglected dive bar. If you're going to charge premium prices, you have to at least wipe down the countertops. Service-wise, the bartender was friendly enough but low energy and minimal level of service. To make matters worse, a shift change happened while we were there, and the departing bartender made us close out our check and start a brand-new one with the next person. Why should the staff's administrative hand-off be the customer's issue? It's just unprofessional. The Valley has so many actual dive bars with character and plenty of high-end spots for a great cocktail; I'm not sure where this place is trying to fit in. It feels like someone bought it and just stopped caring. We won't be back.

The food was amazing, but the lobster ravioli was definitely my favorite dish of the night. Also, if you love bread like I do, definitely order the rolls. The ambiance was wonderful and I've heard they sometimes have live music, although I'm not sure which days. The staff made the experience even better. The host was friendly and kept me laughing with jokes while I waited for my friend to arrive. The bartender was also fantastic, understanding that I don't drink alcohol and made me an incredible mocktail that was so good my friend ended up ordering the same thing. From the food to the atmosphere to the service, everything was excellent. We had a great experience and will definitely be back!

    Lovely spot for Mexican food with fun vibes!…read more I came for Sunday brunch/lunch with some friends. I made a reservation through Yelp a couple days beforehand and there was plenty of availability. The restaurant is located right off Ventura Blvd and has an attached parking garage in the basement which can be accessed via the parking lot behind the restaurant. There were plenty of spots available Sunday afternoon when I came. It's a bit hidden, but there is an elevator from the garage to the top level where the restaurant is located as well. We had two babies in strollers with us, so I requested a table with plenty of space nearby for the strollers. They seated us outside on their covered patio, and indeed, we had plenty of space. I peeked inside and there's also a nice lounge area with a beautiful flower wall as well as a proper dining area. When we arrived, there was a live DJ spinning tunes. I assume he's there during brunch hours, as he left around 3 pm when brunch ended. I started with a frozen lime margarita ($12). It was okay; it felt like it was only half frozen as the ice wasn't blended that well. For my main, I got the famous Anejo carne asada and shrimp plate for $40. Yes it was pricy, but the portion size was also huge! I was starving and somehow managed to finish the plate, but it'd be a great dish to share for two people with small appetites. I really enjoyed it as well. I asked for the steak to be cooked rare, and they didn't overcook it. Each bite was super tender and flavorful and paired well with the rice. Everyone else also enjoyed their dish. One friend got the wet chicken burrito for $15 and it was massive! Another got the veggie fajitas with steak added and really enjoyed her dish as well. Solid food all around. I would love to come back on a weekday and try their happy hour! Sipping on $5 margaritas and $6 sangrias sounds like my idea of a great time!

It's become so much more than just one of our favorite bars and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The biggest reason, though, is the people. Hospitality is something that's hard to fake, and the team here does it effortlessly. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted like an old friend. Over the years, the staff has created an environment that feels welcoming, comfortable, and genuinely personal, and that's something that's become increasingly rare. Matt, Sabrina, and the entire team are all such gems. Scott also deserves special recognition. He's a huge part of what makes The Rendition Room such a special place. Whether he's introducing a new cocktail, sharing the story behind a spirit, or simply taking the time to check in, his passion and care for every guest shine through. It's people like Scott who transform a great bar into a place you truly feel connected to. On our most recent visit, we tried the new Decade & Debauchery cocktail, celebrating The Rendition Room's 10 year anniversary, and it's phenomenal. Balanced, and beautifully executed.

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)

    The staff person I first encountered, went out of her way to get me a table. She brought in a table…read moreand chairs from outside for us. She was friendly, helpful, and very accomodating. When I went up to order a drink, there was a staff member that was just starting her shift-Sunday 7/20/26 around 1200 noon. She looked around the bar, had someone walk in front of me and served them immediately. She never noticed the line behind me waiting to order (about 5 customers). she never smiled, very indifferent and gave a very negative vibe. We will not be back again. I don't tolerate staff like that. She cancelled out the wonderful staff person that helped us first. She was top notch.

    This was my first time at Tipsy Cow, and I have mixed emotions. The atmosphere is casual and…read morefestive, with TV's playing sports and a varied crowd that includes daters, older couples, families and singles making the most of their weekend. There's music that's lively without being overbearing, and the staff is uniformly friendly. But... You have to order at the bar and, though they have runners to bring your food, you do have to hunt them down for anything after the delivery (extra ketchup, etc). While this isn't my favorite system at my age, to be fair, whatever the owners are saving on staff is reflected in the prices, which are absolutely below most places in the area for food that is good-quality and drinks that are generously poured. So yes, my wife's Espresso Martini was served in a deep-bellied Belgium beer glass, and my whiskey neat was a hefty pour. Yay!! For food, I ordered the Smash Burger, which is served with melted American, grilled onions and the house version of Russian dressing (as well as pickles, which I deleted). The burgers had a nice, smashed crust while remaining juicy, the cheese was properly melted, and the grilled onions had a terrific caramelized sweetness, while the house sauce was very well-balanced: ketchupy and creamy without being too mayonnaise-heavy. A very good smasher. My wife ordered the Big Texan Burger because she wanted cheddar and frizzled onions and BBQ sauce, though she deleted the bacon and pork belly that are normally included. This, too, was a very good burger: cooked to a proper and pleasing medium-rare and well-seasoned, with a good, fresh flavor to the beef. The onion rings were less successful, which are of the beer batter type, but seemed to be a commercial, frozen product. The coating was browned but not crisp, and the flavor was relatively nondescript. We didn't really eat them, and wouldn't order them again. And so, to me, The Tipsy Cow is a bit of a mixed bag: reasonably priced decent food and reasonably priced, generously-poured drinks -- but in a mostly self-serve environment that incrementally loses its appeal in relation to your age and your dining circumstances. Certainly worth a try, but you've gotta be in the right mood.

    Loooove this wine bar! There's something about it that feels very NY-vibes. It feels like your…read morelocal small wine bar. The space isn't very large but they have some tables inside, some small "booth"-style seats that only seat one person per side, some bar seating, and a couple tables. They also have a table out front in their patio. They have an extensive wine list with a little bit of everything. They also have a happy hour until 6pm which gets you $2 off select wines. I've come here before and tried a bunch of their sparkling wines which was so fun and delicious and last night I came by and tried one of their NA sparkling rose wines which was pretty nice! I love that they have a couple NA wines on their list. Staff here are always so friendly. Prob my favorite local spot, just wish it was bigger!!

They have small two person booths, bar seating, and some seating outside. I recently came for a fun girls tarot card night and had so much fun. Great selection of wine, and food menu is small. I never come here expecting to eat a meal, I usually just get a little charcuterie board to go with my wine and it's great to share. Food can sometimes take a minute, because the person pouring the wine is also the one making your cheeseboard. Folks behind the bar are always friendly and approachable. One of my favorite spots in the Valley for a glass!
