The place is so comfortable and clean. It is not loud like a standard bar and there are places to sit that are super quiet. The service is super nice. They will take goo care of you. I love the music they play. I am so sick of elevator music and they don't do that. I really enjoy that. All of their food is great, but I am hooked on their salads. Their Sartori Caesar is one of my favorites. It has super fresh crisp romaine hearts with freshly grated parmesan cheese, sourdough croutons and house-made Caesar dressing. I love the dressing. Their Big Newport Wedge is better than most is has the best iceberg wedge topped with applewood smoked bacon, balsamic red onion, tomato and a great blue cheese dressing. All the food is great and we eat more than just salad, but their salad is a stand out.

You walk in and you immediately are greeted by a warm person at the front desk. You walk in and the place is so chic and beautifully laid out! It is small so tables are limited. You need to make reservations in advance for a table. It overlooks the track so that was entertainment for the kids. I wouldn't say it is necessarily family friendly, especially small kids, but our kids were fine dining there. They don't have a kids menu but the chef was able to make the kids some simple things they loved - pasta and cheese!! The highlight though was the Porsche shaped butter. That was THE absolute coolest thing ever. It came in a little dish with the bread. My kids and I loved it!!! It was a really nice touch to our meal. The food was really exceptional. One of the best places I've dined in a long time - even including Michelin star restaurants!! The dishes were so beautifully and delicately prepared - we had the octopus appetizer, the homemade pasta dish, the heirloom salad and Ofocurse we couldn't pass dessert! Dessert: if you are a tiramisu lover like me you MUST try the tiramisu-choux. It's a whole different take on this Italian dessert! Overall this place was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the ambiance, to the service, to the delicious noteworthy mouthwatering food you totally need to come here. I already want to come back next time we visit !!! If you want to have an amazing dining experience, you totally need to come here!

Restaurant 917 is located at the Porsche Experience Center in Carson…read more Easily accessible right off the freeway. As you drive up, you can already see the track and 911s whizzing around! If that doesn't get you pumped, not sure what else will! Highly recommend you make reservations way in advance. Looks like they also have a room for a small party of meeting. Note they are only open for lunch. Parking lot is huge. As you walk in, you are greeted to check in. If you are booked for an experience, you get a fun lanyard to wear. Visitors, you get a sticker, lol. The restaurant is on the second floor, so you can take the stairs or there is an elevator. You're greeted again at the host's station. We got there early so started off with a cocktail. We both tried the 917 Old Fashioned which was delicious and they sear the 917 and Porsche logo which was super fun! They start off with pretzel breads with cute butters shaped like Porsche cars! They do have a couple chairs in front of the host table as well as a bar area. Bathrooms are back towards the host area. Huge and clean! There is a viewing station as well that you can walk outside from this area to watch the track from the top and that did not disappoint. You can get seats inside right at the window and watch the experiences. So fast and loud! We had a great time!

Stopped by The Pan in Gardena located on the corner of Western Ave and 166th St., after noticing…read morethe rare sight of a smaller weekday or weekend crowd, and I'm glad we did. I ordered the "Original" Fully Loaded Hash Browns and a variety of pancakes were the star, crispy edges on my hash browns, generous toppings, and a portion size that could easily feed two people seriously. It's one of those dishes that feels indulgent in the best way. The restaurant has a relaxed, casual feel, and the service was impressively fast without losing any attention to detail. Parking is definitely tight, so plan on grabbing a spot along 166th if you're trying to beat the rush. A satisfying brunch experience with comfort food done right. Miguel C.

The steak was tender, juicy, and cooked just right. The breakfast potatoes were definitely a hit too. Even though they were packed, the service was still good. It's a small space. Just be prepared to wait a little if you're going on the weekend. Trust me, it's worth it. A solid breakfast spot that's been holding it down for years and one I'll definitely keep coming back to.

I tried this place out mainly cause of a company holiday party. When I first stepped inside there…read moreis a pretty rustic feel to the place. There are many tables for both larger and smaller parties. Majority of the guests seemed to be here for similar reasons. Staff was friendly but it did take awhile after placing orders for anything to come out of the kitchen. The bread basket we got within the first 10-20mins was nice. It had banana bread, dinner rolls and crisps which came with pesto butter. However, the rest of our food did take a while (almost 45mins) to come out which our party was pretty big so I guess I would say contributed to the wait. When the food did come out some of our party didn't get their order at the same time, which I will have to say takes away from the overall experience. I ordered the Pene Pasta with bolognese from the daily plates which I hoped would have been good and a bowl of soup (pumpkin soup was the soup of the day). However, there wasn't a lot of flavor to the overall dish and I found the meat bits in the sauce were crunchy for some reason. The few veggie bits in the dish were decent. The soup was good but overall nothing mind blowing. Overall the experience was a mixed bag. I don't know if I would come back unless it's another company function mainly due to the overall experience. There is plenty of parking in the back but also street parking is available.

My friend goes here and has his own table..... he suggested I get the NY with the crusted fig and Gorgonzola. I was skeptical because I am very picky about my Gorgonzola, it has to be of good verity or it tastes fake like blue cheese dressing. I am even more picky about my steak, I only like salt and pepper. To my surprise the bread basket had flat breads, yeast breads annnndd BANANA BREAD?! What?! It was amazing! Back to the steak. It was cooked perfectly. The fig and Gorgonzola crust was addictive and did not take away from the quality of the meat. I cannot wait to come back! Thanks for having me.

Really good tacos and burgers!…read more I got 3 tacos: Cod: the best!!!! Super crispy batter! Get this one for sure Shrimp: The shrimp is long shape as compared to the typical C shape shrimp.

The chips are homemade and he said that was the standout star. I read a review that the chips were stale. We came right at opening so they were freshly fried so maybe come earlier for fresher chips? Super friendly service.

Recently discovered Uncle Mac's Kitchen and decided to check it out! It's located in Tozai Plaza,…read moreso parking can be tricky. But if you're willing to walk a bit, you can usually find a spot towards the farther end of the parking lot. We ordered the food online, and it was ready for us when we arrived. I love a good fish taco, so we decided to try a few different ones. We got some Marco Mahi Tacos that come with cabbage, tomato, cilantro, and crema. You can choose flour or house made corn tortilla. We also got the George Fish Taco that has battered Alaskan cod. Both were good, but I enjoyed it more with the salsa on top. They have a Gabe Portobello Taco which I thought was interesting! It has a battered portobello inside, which I thought was unique. I would get it again! They have a lot of fun side items. We got some Tom Yum Sidewinder Fries that have a tasty tom yum salt added to them. The salt doesn't stick to the fries the best, but you can kind of dip them back in the salt at the bottom of the container for some more of that salty tart flavor! The Potato Rings look like onion rings. They're basically a tater tot in ring form. Fun to eat, but I wish they gave a few more in the order. We also got Crispy Battered Green Beans and Fried Zucchini. Both come with ranch sauce for dipping and were pretty solid! I'll be back to try their sandwiches and pastas!

We ordered a $13.99 personal meal. My wife had the mac & cheese with a salad, and I had the combo pizza with a Caesar salad. We added two drinks for $1.99 each and shared a nutty coleslaw. I was surprised at how large the "personal size" mac & cheese was -- it was very generous. We ended up sharing the pizza, mac & cheese, and coleslaw and still had plenty of food. The meal also came with two personal-size carrot cakes, which we took home for the next day. Even sharing just one was more than enough. Everything was delicious, but the carrot cake really stood out. Super moist, full of carrots and chunks of pineapple, and topped with an amazing cream cheese frosting. The menu says it's made from scratch, and it definitely tasted homemade. Definitely recommend! **After reading some of the 3 and 1 reviews, I'm hoping to have an equally positive experience on my next visit.

Service was great, staff was nice and the place looks good. That's where the positives end unfortunately. The food was honestly terrible. -Mashed potatoes tasted straight out of a packet--gooey, liquidy and cheap. -Breadsticks were weirdly loaded with Parmesan and missing the usual garlic flavor. -Salad was chopped into oblivion no reason. -The tri-tip easily the worst I've ever had from Stonefire. Rubbery, badly seasoned, and felt like low-quality meat. Completely different from what they serve at other locations. -BBQ sauce was off. Way too much black pepper to the point it made me cough. It's definitely not the original sauce. This didn't feel like Stonefire. It felt like a completely different restaurant trying to pass as Stonefire. Really disappointing.

I had business in the same shopping center and decided to drop in for lunch…read more Torrance Tavern is restaurant bar located in a shopping center. Needless to say, there is plenty of parking. The interior is neat and clean. There are various types of seating (bar; table; booth; high-tops; communal), and plenty of screens to watch sports. On this occasion, I ordered the Tavern Fish & Chips ($22). It is described as "Alaskan cod coated in a tempura beer batter and served with French fries, tartar sauce and yuzu herb coleslaw". The positives of this dish are that it was prepared well. Both the fish and chips tasted good. The presentation was also nice; which leads to the coleslaw: The coleslaw tasted good, too; but I was surprised the serving was so spare. It's almost as if it was served just to optically balance the presentation in the basket. (See photo shared,) And while the price was not unreasonable, feel it's creeping towards expensive (relative to serving size). I'll attribute this to rising input costs. Staffing might be an issue during the lunchtime service. Service was okay, but they seemed to be understaffed. It's possible that most of their business is done after 5pm.
