    Coconut cream cold brew
    Susan S.

    Located in lovely Larchmont village bright beautiful restaurant we came for breakfast! Nice breakfast menu with all the favorites. Delicious coffee. Bon appetite!

    My husband and I dined here last October but I couldn't write a review back then because their Yelp page was being attacked so they blocked it. A few days ago we were at the Larchmont Village and were looking for a place to eat I remembered that I never wrote a review for them so I decided to write one and share the pictures of our lunch cause we had a great experience here. It's a beautiful restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. The ambiance is chill here. Very coastal California vibes. The decor is beautiful and relaxing. The menu is simple and delicious. Customer service was friendly and helpful. The salmon platter I ordered was amazing so was my strawberry matcha. I'm not a matcha lover but I really enjoyed this glass, it was delicious.

    Great White Breakie and Dirty Mini Martini

    The restaurant was not busy or crowded yet there was a significant wait time before the server came to take my order. After the order was taken, things seems to have moved along with the food coming out in a reasonable amount of time. Simple mistake but noticeable. There was no salt at the table. Other tables had salt and pepper present, and it's not an establishment that requires that you intentionally ask for seasoning. I would've asked for salt but the waiter did not check on me at any point during my meal. Nice location in Larchmount though with a spacious patio along the sidewalk.

    Crispy Brussels Sprouts
    Ascencia S.

    Ambiance - restaurant had a cool, relaxed vibe Service - friendly and attentive Food - we ordered Brussels sprouts, burger, salmon curry, truffle pizza, chicken wings, hot chocolate with coconut flavor and coconut coffee ice blend. The pizza tasted weird. Although they used wild mushrooms, I did not taste the truffle at all. I don't know why the taste was off putting. The burger was juicy and flavorful. The chicken wings were boneless, crispy and delicious. The salmon curry had depth in flavor and the sauce was addictive. The Brussels sprouts were also very good. Our bill was around $194, including tip.

    Whole Roasted Chicken

    The whole roasted chicken was delicious. Could've done with a little less mint leaves though. Otherwise, very flavorful and juicy. Not dry at all.

    Double Smashburger, sweet potato fries, tater tots

    My first day back from Chicago to the Larchmont neighborhood and you bet I'm going straight to Great White for dinner! Had to have their delicious black cod entrée once again. I mean, look at that beautiful seared fish basking in delightfully flavorful sweetened soy sauce with delicate spinach and shimeji mushrooms swimming around it. Every bite was roll your head back awesomeness. Accompanied by a fresh crisp glass of quality Sauvignon Blanc and it's my complete meal. Waitress Kimmy (sp?) was very charming, professional, efficient and attentive. Dining outdoors always a treat, and though a bit on the chilly side, ample heaters made it comfortable.

    Crispy Chicken Sandwich (Spicy, one order was subbed for sweet potato fries) + Yuzu lemonade + Matcha Latte.

    I've been to Great White a handful of times now, their food is pretty consistent. Not pictured was the Tremendous Burger and Margarita Pizza we ordered from a previous visit. Service is quick and servers are very kind to accommodate all group sizes. Ambiance gives Tulum vibes, and it can get noisy depending on the time of day when they're busy.

    So so tasty. Eggs ever so slightly salty but not overpowering. Not pictured: also got a smoothie that paired perfectly with this. Food was slightly pricey for what you get but definitely worth visiting if you're in the area. Went on a weekend, probably waited an hour; just walked around and dilly dallied til the table was ready. Outdoor seating didn't feel crowded or too loud. Service was quick afterwards. And they were helpful picking something for us to try!

    First time coming here and my friends and I really liked it! We wanted to come back the next day but unfortunately, our trip had to end. We walked in as a party of 6 on Friday afternoon and were seated near the windows. The sun started beaming down on us so we asked if it was possible to move more inside the restaurant. The staff checked and helped us move to a better table! The food came out pretty fast and we all finished our food. Everything was delicious! The drinks were also good and aesthetically presented. This spot is definitely going to be a place we'll stop at again when we're back in LA!

    Had lunch here with a colleague a few months back but it seems it was around the same time the restaurant got into some negative press for allegations of discrimination. I didn't notice anything untoward during my visit so I can't comment on that. Lunch was delicious though pricey. Given the location, it's what I expected.

    We have been here a few times for both brunch and lunch and it never disappoints. The food is fresh and delicious, service is warm, welcoming and impeccable, and the ambiance is overall very relaxing. Maria and Lo are two of our favorite team members! If you're coming on a weekend definitely get there earlier as it can get busy fast. Personal favorites on the menu are the quinoa bowl and the great white brekkie. Drinks are great too!

    Jiyeon K.

    This restaurant in Larchmont Village exceeded all of my expectations! From the moment we walked in, I fell in love with the beautiful interior. The atmosphere was warm, stylish, and inviting. As each dish arrived at our table, we couldn't help but admire the presentation. It was absolutely stunning. We ordered the shrimp pasta, mushroom pizza, avocado dip, and banana bread, and every single dish was delicious. The flavors were fresh, well balanced, and beautifully executed. You can truly tell they put great care into both the food and the presentation. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to. If you're in Larchmont Village and looking for great food, beautiful presentation, and exceptional service, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try!

    Been here several times and it keeps growing on me. The host can be a bit much sometimes, always acting busy, but once you're seated it's a great experience. Indoor seating has that Tulum vibe--chandeliers, music, really nice energy. Now that it's warming up, the patio is also a solid move. Food is consistently good. We always get the burger--it's one of the best. This time we tried the crispy chicken and wow... sweet, spicy, super underrated. Got ranch with it and it was a perfect combo. Also tried their pizzas--really solid, and they have gluten-free options. Ivan was our waiter, super nice, and the food came out fast. We were in and out in like 30 minutes (we do eat fast though). Definitely coming back for the burger and to try more of the menu.

    Ask the Community - Great White

    Reservations are required or walk ins are welcomed?

    They are not required but recommended since it's so popular.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Only if they're white.

    Can I bring my wine? How much is your coarkage?

    Only white wine is served here. The corkage fee depends on where you're from. No, where you're really from. Wink wink.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Yes but unfortunately Asians are not.

    How's the parking at the Great White or nearby? Thanks!

    There is street parking but during busy times it's full. There are two public parking lots a block away on both sides of the street. Cost isn't too bad but if you park in the underground parking it closes at 9:00 so pay attention to that. Enjoy!

    Beer & wine?

    Yes!

    Do you guys except walk-in?

    Yes they do... We had a party of 9 on Sunday for brunch, without reservations and we were told the wait would be about 40 minutes. Fortunately, our wait ended up being less than 30.

    Do they take reservations for brunch?

    What time does brunch end?

    3PM

I was instantly so glad we chose this spot to celebrate our anniversary because it was the perfect setting for a romantic date night. Now, let's talk about the food! Everything we ordered was delicious, with the exception of the Korean aguachiles, which we probably could've skipped. We also tried the bluefin bibimbap, oysters, and the oh-so-tender short rib that practically melted in our mouths. But the most unforgettable dish was also the simplest: the Korean fried chicken. It wasn't necessarily something out of the ordinary, but it sure tasted like it. The perfect crisp, flavor, and seasoning had us eating every last piece right down to the bone. Our server also made the experience even better. She gave us some of the best recommendations and were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout the entire meal. We absolutely loved this restaurant and are already planning our next visit!

    The Lucky Tiki in Highland Park is the sister location of the original Lucky Tiki in West…read moreHollywood. This spot opened about a year ago, and has a cool speakeasy style entrance at the Highland Park Bowl bowling alley. It is a small space, and I would highly recommend making a reservation on Resy. You have 90 minutes to drink and dine. I parked behind the bowling alley where there is a medium sized pay parking lot. Park in a space, remember your space number painted on the ground, and go to the pay station at the end of the lot. I found the parking machine to be extremely finicky as did other people. After ten minutes of failure, I ended up moving my car to another space, and then it worked. This has nothing to do with the Lucky Tiki, but FYI if you park there. We walked around to the front of the bowling alley, and checked in. Seating options include at the bar, tiki hut booths, and high top tables. The décor inside is a tiki lovers paradise. The room has a high ceiling with many tiki lamps, floats, puffer fish, tiki huts, thatch, ropes, barrels, netting, carvings, a hanging canoe, and a large tiki right in the middle of the space. In addition to the great décor, when you order certain drinks, special effects are triggered. There was also great tiki music playing all evening. We sat at the bar since we always enjoy talking to the bartenders. We actually ran into Skipper Christian in the parking lot on the way in, and he ended up being our main bartender, with Nick and Jo also working behind the bar. We put in a food order right away. The chicken potstickers ($12) came with five tasty bites, and the garlic teriyaki dipping sauce was good. We also had the giant pretzel ($16) which comes with mustard, beer cheese, and ranch sauces. This was excellent, and the perfect filling snack before a bunch of drinks. My first drink was the Siren's Song (Flor de Cana Eco rum, lemon juice, cassis, Oloroso sherry, apricot foam topper, $19). This drink is served in a great mermaid with skull mug and triggers special sound effects and bubbles fill the air. Those bubbles on top of the drink had a great light citrusy apricot flavor, probably the best flavored bubbles I've ever had. The drink itself was very good and balanced with some complexity. She wasn't sure what to order at first, and Christian asked her what flavors she liked. He ended up making a spin on a Tradewinds with some mango and pineapple to go along with the apricot and coconut. It was nicely balanced and not too sweet, even with all that fruit in there. My second drink was the Sun of Suns (Tierra de Acre mezcal, coconut cream, Giffard mango liqueur, pineapple juice, lime juice, $17). This was coconut and pineapple forward with some good smokiness in the background. Her second drink was the Whatever Floats Your Boat (Ford's gin, lemon juice, velvet falernum, orgeat, passion fruit syrup, guava soda, topped with hazelnut passion fruit foam, $19). It is served in a cool boat mug, and triggers thunder sound effects and lighted mechanical Polynesian tiki characters paddling a canoe over the bar. This was another good balanced drink. It was a little gin forward and the passion fruit popped out, maybe from being both in the drink and the foam top. That creamy hazelnut passion fruit form on top is delicious. I'd happily have a glass of that on its own. We were still a little hungry so we ordered the Hawaiian pizza (marinara, diced pepperoni, red onion, pineapple chunks, hot capicola ham, $16). It was another good tasting, perfectly sized snack, and the crust was light and airy. We were already fifteen minutes over our time limit, but we got the green light to stay longer to order a third drink to share. We ordered the Tiki Diablo (Flor de Cana Eco rum, Worthy Park 109 rum, Alma Tepecha chile liqueur, orange juice, lime juice, mango syrup, guava soda, $24). This drink serves two people, is served in a cool volcano bowl with glowing red lava around it, and comes with a fire show. Unfortunately, right after it was served, the host came over and said we were over our time and had to leave shortly. Christian made up for it by giving us two tall pours to go enjoy in the bowling alley bar area which was fine. We were happy we got some extra time inside. The drink was also very good, balanced with a little complexity. We had a great time. There is so much great décor to look at. The drinks and food were very good, and some of the the drink presentations and special effects were the icing on the cake. All of the bartenders were very friendly and a lot of fun. We purchased up a few zombie glasses to take home as a souvenir. I'd definitely recommend visiting the Lucky Tiki in Highland Park!

Barcelonette: refreshing, light, lovely P Town Boxing Club: a little disappointed that I couldn't taste the pandan as much, didn't get as much of a distinct flavor Hops Don't Lie: canned, refreshing, my partner like it! The servers/bartenders were so cool and knowledgeable about the menu, they even brought us samples and let us know if we didn't like something they'd replace it! And did!

We decided to get a drink to celebrate Father's Day, only to strike out at the first two bars we tried--I guess a lot of places are closed at 9:30 on a Sunday. This is how we ended up at Thunderbolt, a buzzy bar in Echo Park, just far enough away that we'd never made our way over. I loved it immediately. Thunderbolt has the friendly, comfortable atmosphere of a neighborhood bar and the hip aesthetic and high-level cocktails of a millennial boozer destination. (Not that young people can't or shouldn't hang out here, but it seems especially geared toward people like us, who drank at Walker Inn a decade ago.) We ended up sitting next to a guy who regularly drives up from Palos Verdes. I guess the place gets pretty busy, but it was ideal on a Sunday night. Happening but not crowded, with just enough space at the bar for us to grab two seats together. The bartender was great, super helpful and welcoming. He also made excellent drinks. Thunderbolt is one of those bars with an encyclopedic illustrated book for a menu. Not a long menu, just a detailed one, with a lot of information available about each drink. We got a Liquid Picnic and a Barcelonnette--just one round to close out the weekend. Both were delicious. The Liquid Picnic was a smooth, savory gin martini made with London dry gin, tomato, citron, vermouth, rosemary, and black pepper. I learned from the book that it used clarified tomato water. (There was also further reading about the clarification process.) The Barcelonnette was a mezcal sour with Suze, passionfruit, and lime, the foam made without egg white through some geeky mixologist process. Thunderbolt is not our neighborhood bar, but we plan to go back when we can to check out the rest of the menu. It's a wonderful place, well worth a jaunt on the freeway.
