Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu and gave good recommendations, which made ordering easy. The drinks were good and definitely not watered down. My only critique is that I wish the portions were a little larger for the price. Overall, it was a solid experience, and I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area. Be prepared to valet your car because parking is... Well it's LA.

The outside garden patio is so lovely but because of the heat, we sat inside. Very attentive service by our friendly waiter. Cocktails were tasty! We shared the Buratta appetizer as well as stuffed squash blossoms and we both had the scampi with a side of pasta. Everything was delicious with generous portions! We were too full for dessert, but I received a birthday pistachio ice cream, heavenly. We were there on Tuesday and we had a 6 o'clock reservation. By 6:45, the restaurant was packed. The noise level is a bit, but that's to be expected in a popular restaurant. It was really nice to see this new incarnation of a wonderful restaurant.

I've been to plenty of great parties and events and you can't hear loud, thumping music 8 blocks away.

We recently attended a birthday dinner party here at Great Event Studios in Tarzana and it is…read moreactually the same owner as Athena Studios in Nothridge where my daughte celebrated her 18th bday. This Tarzana location was actually really nice too - it's located along Ventura Blvd (closest cross street is Wilbur Ave.) right after McDonalds and next to Dominos Pizza and right across Lady C's Cafe. The closest fwy for those travelling from another city is Tampa ave. exit. The venue is really pretty, very well maintain, very clean and very aesthetic design and has its own restroom inside. The size of the venue is perfect for intimate parties with a group of 50-60. There was space for buffet table, bar for the drinks, Sushi bar, Photo Booth and DJ booth and a decent dance floor size was setup and it didn't feel like crowded at all. The balloons, table setting, decors etc was also done by great event (separate fee applies on top of the venue rental). I highly recommend this event place if you are planning on your next initimate party! You will love the place, and if you decide to also hire them for organizing and decorating the venue you will surely love it. The owners are very proffesional and really nice. There's also a lot of parking spaces as well as on the side street - from my own personal experience, we didn't have a hard time finding a parking spot and the part was on a Saturday night.

There's a kitchenette with sink, microwave, refrigerator, and handicapped accessible bathroom. Hardwood floors give this space an elegant look, it feels open, bright, and clean. Deena was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. She helped me secure the space with only a few weeks notice. She offered many options for configuring the space to meet our needs. Our guests commented on how nice they thought the space was. I'm very happy I found Great Event Studio and Deena when I did. I would happily use her services for any future events I need to host. I highly recommend giving them a chance to make your events go smoothly.

Communication is great, and she responds quickly if you have any doubts/questions. Celebrated my wife's bday a week ago, and many, if not all, of the guests were very impressed with the studio. The entire setup was a success. It's equipped with dj lights, a small kitchen, a bathroom, space in the back (where we had the taco people set up) and more. Teena and her husband went out and beyond and even added a couple fans and portable air conditioners to keep it cool inside. Considering that the weather has been over in the 90's. Thanks for all of that to both. Will definitely do business with them again.

Planning a baby shower from Texas for an event in California could have been stressful, but Teena…read moreat Athena Event Studio made the entire process seamless. She was wonderful to work with--always responding promptly, sending additional photos whenever I had questions, and offering extra rental items on-site so I didn't have to coordinate with multiple vendors. What you see online is exactly what you get, which I really appreciated. The venue itself is beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. The indoor space was perfect for our event, and the kitchen easily accommodated our professional catering team. Everything was clean, organized, and ready for us when we arrived. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 has nothing to do with Teena or the venue itself. My only concern was the surrounding area. While unloading decorations, we were approached by a homeless individual who was shouting nearby, which was a little unsettling. Parking was also somewhat limited, and I found myself worrying about our guests. Having worked in Northridge about 10 years ago, I remember it feeling much different than it does today. That said, this isn't a reflection on Teena or Athena Event Studio. She was an outstanding host, and the venue exceeded my expectations. I simply wanted future guests to be aware of the surrounding neighborhood so they can plan accordingly. I would absolutely recommend Athena Event Studio and would gladly work with Teena again.

Centerpieces, runners and the arches are already provided with the venue. Chafers, serving utensils, a fridge to keep drinks/food cool and 3 coolers also come with your venue rental. I took advantage of their dessert cart and I love that cake stands and acrylic stands were all available for use so all I had to do was arrange my desserts. Cake cutting utensils were also provided. The owner, Pam, was super nice and very accommodating. She definitely goes above and beyond to help you have a beautiful and stress free event! Also was easy to get ahold of, easy to communicate with. Venue also comes with a free and large parking lot in the back. Air conditioning was perfect especially here in the Valley, where it can get quite hot! Overall, I cannot recommend this venue enough. A lot of our guests complimented the beautiful space.

She listened carefully to get a sense of what I was looking for - a princess theme that was magical for a 14 year old girl. Dica came up with such a creative party plan and handled all the logistics. She found a perfect venue that could accommodate 20 kids, arranged for a princess meet and greet, planned games and activities, and coordinated delicious food from a caterer. On the day of the party, everything went so smoothly. All I had to do was show up and enjoy celebrating with my daughter! The best part was having one point of contact to deal with versus coordinating all the vendors and details myself. Dica was so responsive by phone and email in the planning process. She even stayed for the duration of the party to ensure everything ran on schedule. All the guests raved about what a memorable experience it was for the kids. If you want an stress-free party where you can relax and not worry about a thing, I highly recommend Dica party planner. Dica provides excellent service and creates magical celebrations.
