Omar and his team are among the best in this business because they truly care and want your event to be successful. They are a literal dream to work with. They offer a beautiful space that can be transformed into just about anything with state-of-the-art A/V systems and screen projections. They are able to offer many things in-house that you would otherwise have to find with outside vendors. Their kitchen is top-notch and the bartenders know how to make your guests happy. They are flexible and easy to work with from the first moment you meet them. On top of all that, their prices are reasonable and the quality you get back is worth what you pay. I am so grateful to Omar and his entire team for being such a pleasure to work with!

Just a little south of Wilshire on La Brea sits Candela. It's odd because we had our work Christmas…read moreparty here, yet I swear I've been in this place before but I can't for my life recall why. There is a large hallway when you enter, then a bar to the left side in a separate room, and I think the women's restroom is across the way. If you kept straight, you enter the large ballroom where there are bars on either side and a stage in front where the dj was. For our particular event, there was a long table set up on the right side for a minimal offering of food while there was random furniture set up throughout the venue along with a couple of photo booths. Considering the previous years party was actually AT work, Candela was a nice upgrade!

As soon as you walk up the stairwell you'll be transported into this super cute place with an outdoor-indoor feel, almost like an elegant treehouse. We were seated on the second level which provided a Birds Eye view of the restaurant. We ordered a few items to share: Cameron ceviche, flautas and for our sweet tooth, French toast paired with a mango sorbet surprise with a candle for our birthdays (tip: we drizzled the melted sorbet on our French toast and took small scoops with each bite - game changer!). Everything was so delicious! We also ordered mocktails, a miche-nada for him and a lemony drink for me. This experience wouldn't have been as great without the exceptional service we had. Our waters were always refilled without asking, our tables were cleaned with every dish, honestly top-notch service! Parking can be a bit challenging but drive around a few blocks and you'll find a few spaces. Worth the walk after an incredible meal. Happy eating!

While it is definitely on the pricier side, the flavors are extremely unique and delicious, making it worth the splurge for a special night out. My only real bummer was discovering they took the vegan ceviche off the menu--that was actually the whole reason I came back! I'm sure they have their reasons, but I was pretty disheartened to see it go. Overall, the menu doesn't have a ton of vegan items, but they do have some room for adjustments if you ask. Despite the menu change, the incredible atmosphere and unique menu still make it a must-try.

The taste of espresso and the sweetness of the cream masked the vodka perfectly. There was a lot of ice in my drink, i would have preferred it to have been shaken and served without. I came here with a party of 8 coworkers and i was the last one to receive my meal which consisted of One egg and 3 pieces of bacon. I'm not sure what happed but the kitchen and or my server forgot my entire order. Once i brought it to her attention after my entire party were finished with their meal, i received mine.

The waitress was very apologetic and worked to make things right before we concluded brunch services.

Built in 1913, The York Manor was home to a Methodist congregation before transitioning into the…read moreYork Blvd Church of Christ in 1963. It sat vacant for a few years and briefly reopened as a performing arts space in 2013 but was forced to shut down. After being declared a historic monument, it underwent a complete renovation by new owners in 2015. The building changed hands again in 2023 and functions as an event center and a shared common workspace. This three-story venue has rooms upstairs. Downstairs is the main room with lofty ceilings, large windows, wood floors, a kitchen, bathrooms, and a stage for a DJ or live bands. Downstairs is a speakeasy style bar and the backyard is also a nice spot for an outdoor reception. I've driven by this place numerous times thinking it was just a church. I recently saw that there was a Holiday Market Place being held here so I stopped in to do some shopping. There was a man on the front lawn making pupusas and people sitting at tables enjoying them. Inside is quite spacious and there were several vendors selling their merchandise. The tables were nicely spaced apart, so it was easy to browse. This realty is a nice spot for an event or to use as a shared workspace. *Street parking only.

CRATES. they barely had any garbage disposals for us to clean. main thing was the workers under the company look lazy and rude. if we didn't clean, they would keep the deposit. I don't think a reception of that size would be overlooked by the host and simply wasn't disclosed that significant detail. for the price of a different venue with all services for cleanup, seems like it's better to go somewhere else. plus, no parking and it's only street. interesting space but pass.

The suite was adorable, clean, and it had the perfect amount of vintage charm. It is located near local eateries, and even though Bar Covell is located on the first floor, our room was private and quiet enough to sleep very glamorously. To top it off, it is only a short drive to the Pantages Theater and near alk the Los Feliz hot spots. The service was excellent from the moment we booked, to the moment we checked out. They were extemely welcoming and accommodating. I highly recommend Hotel Covell for your next stay!

I wish for a Hotel Covell in every town we ever visit. If so, I'd spend less time on travel sites…read morelooking for the elusive sweet spot where the price of a hotel seems fair for what is being advertised. This hotel is a bit under the radar and I only found it based on a random magazine article I read on boutique hotels in LA. After our most recent stay, I'm confident this hotel will always be at the top of list! First, the guest experience is well designed. They communicated in a timely and friendly way before our arrival about parking and the check-in process. (One amazing perk is free self-parking spot just steps away from back entrance, which means you can zip around town without the hassle of Los Feliz parking hunts). Second, the room is lovely. We stayed in Chapter 3. The bedding is similar to a quality you'd have at home -- no cheap scratchy sheets here! They use La Labo bath products in the bathroom and have a chemex/fellows set up with ground coffee at-the-ready. It is a hotel experience in a room that feels like the perfect apartment I always wanted. And finally, the location. For years, I stayed at larger chain hotels (e.g., Ace, Westin) in DTLA or smaller boutique hotels in Ktown. They felt like the only option in the 250-$350 per night range. While this place is a touch higher in price, the location (and free parking... don't forget hotels in LA charge -$40 for parking, before tip) is unique and worthwhile if it works for your budget. It's tucked into a discreet spot next to a coffee shop and wine bar, next door to Kismet (which I also rave-reviewed, 5 stars!), and walking distance from tons of stuff. Street side the entrance is totally unnoticeable, and you can go about your day without hotel-y things like lobbies full of people with screaming children and weird boomers staring at your tattoos in the elevator (no elevator). Overall, a totally enjoyable experience. My only tension for next time is whether to book chapter 3 again or to try other chapters!!
