You absolutely have to see a film at the Old Town Music Hall!!!!…read more We went for my partners birthday and it was so exciting to see the 100 year old Wurlitzer in all its glory. We saw a rare Gloria Swanson silent film along w a talk by a brilliant film historian. Every show opens with a little performance but we were lucky enough to see a silent film which means that the organist live scores the entire film just as it would have been done in the 20s ! Such a special experience, and a must for any fans of music, film, and LA history.

Just when you begin to lose faith in humanity, you run into a spot like this…read more I've lived nearby for almost 9 years yet didn't discover this gem until a few months ago. I'm constantly going to revival and old theaters like The Egyptian, New Beverly, and Aero theatre and wanted to add this one to the rotation. Essentially, they transport you back in time to the early 20th century when movie theaters started taking off! And not just about the old films they show, we're talking OG Dr. Pepper in a glass bottle and lobby cards and photos on the wall. A giant Wurlitzer organ where our organist started off the night's festivities with a few words of history and a few songs on the organ. We even did some sing-alongs lol. Everyone in the red vests are volunteers keeping this running. You can sense the deep passion they all have for preserving this history and a deep love of cinema. Got a brochure calendar for showings through June and will now make sure I come out at least once a month.

They don't have a parking lot. It's street parking or paid parking (3-5 hrs $10.55). Street parking is very hard in this area.

Keep in mind, it's cook to order I believe so it takes a while to receive you plate. I would recommend calling and ordering AHEAD. .

Very fast to order but took 20-30 minutes for our meal to be prepared, which we were not happy about. We ordered a bingka as we waited. It was delicious but small...probably a better deal if you are ordering more. I got the bangus plate and honestly felt cheated. Almost half of the fish was the fatty part that people don't eat. It was ok otherwise. I feel like the skewers are what you should order when you come! High recommend. Although they did give us java rice for both orders when we only requested for one. The other person I was with doesn't eat pork so the food unfortunately went to waste Probably won't come back here, but it was ok to try once.

Was able to make LA Dine Lunch course here the Thursday before it ended. Two of us were seated…read moreoutside quickly a very hot day but Jame patio seating is still cool out of the sun. For the first course: we got meatballs and Spicy Cesar salad Main course: as Spicy Rigatoni and Tonnarelli cacio e pepe w/ Chicken added to each Dessert: we obviously shared the fresh baked Chocolate chip and Snickerdoodle cookies. Everything was Excellent with perfect texture of both pastas and soft flavorful meatballs. Lunch was extra busy the kitchen was at a perfect pace. This is a great lil corner of El Segundo that I will continue to explore after just randomly finding this!

Hit all the marks. Great space, food, and service. Easy parking…read more DineLA was my introduction and I was impressed with the space upon walking in. It's an unassuming spot in a corner of a strip center that you could easily miss. It's the cutest space with indoor and patio seating as well as a few bar spots, good for solo dining. We started with the meatballs and Caesar salad. The meatballs had a crisp sear outside that gave way to a soft inside. So good with the tomato sauce and arugula. The Caesar had a touch of spiciness and was dressed with toasted bread crumbs, a nice touch. I had the bolognese. It was tender and meaty and the pasta had the right amount of bite. This was even great leftover the next day. The Meyer lemon pie was the perfect closer. DineLA was the right call to bring me in to to try this gem of a spot.

After a fun day at Knott's Berry Farm, my wife and I decided to get dinner before hitting the road…read more The criteria were good eats, a varied beer selection, a decent atmosphere, and hopefully some novelty. Rock and Brews exceeded each category and came in clutch with some bonuses! First, and most importantly, the food was absolutely delicious! I had tacos, which were discounted for Taco Tuesday and allowed for a mix-and-match of chicken, beef, or pork. My wife had the Mediterranean salad, which she thoroughly enjoyed. We also shared a pretzel that was mega yummy. Second, beer! Lots of great choices, and if you prefer a mixed spirit, well, you're in luck, because they have plenty of those too. Third, vibes! Vibes like Cal Tjader came back to life. The place is decked out like your coolest friend won the lottery and created the perfect spot for all of his Rock & Roll lovin' homies to hang and chill. It is hard to pull off this level of focus without being a complete visual disaster or downright tawdry. Luckily for them, the designer understood the assignment. Well done, designer. You deserve a raise. Now, obviously, I'm a fan. One visit. That's all it took. But even after all of that goodness, there is one thing I must share, because it made a good experience a great one, and that thing is not even a thing; it was Matthew! Brother, thank you for being so kind and attentive. You are very talented, and without question, the quality of our experience is directly linked to your professionalism. I get the impression that no matter where you go, or what you do, the Force is always strong with you. Let's give Matt a raise too! And make him manager when you open the San Diego location.

Grew up and live in Buena Park and I've only been here 3 times. That's gotta change. The burgers…read morewere pretty. They were tasty, too, but I can always appreciate a good looking burger that doesn't fall over after they place it on the table. I had the super spicy one and it kicked my bum. I can't hang like the old days. Very fun eating experience though, and I was able to finish every single scoville. Waiter was helpful with customizing (bread swap). French fries were fine. Will be back, even if it's just to get a bottle of their hot sauce . Only real gripe is that this place looks and feels like a sports bar/restaurant, it has over a dozen TVs... But the same thing was on ALL the TVs ! I understand the music theme is central appeal, but at least have different (variety) music videos on if you're gonna have 30 TVs in your restaurant. Make it interesting

Beef rolls and wonton noodle soup were my favorites of the bunch. Service is really friendly. You order at the front and find a seat but when it's busy they'll help you find seats so no stress. It was a super hot summer day in LA and their AC was there but it still felt pretty warm inside the restaurant. Parking can be tough around here.

My wife and I stopped by Pine & Crane on a Sunday afternoon around 2:00 p.m. for a late lunch and…read morethere were plenty of seats available when we arrived. Ordering is done at the counter and the restaurant is self-seating. Between the two of us, we shared their beef pancake roll, their three cup chicken, pork potstickers and a side of their lotus roots. This ended up being too much food for the two of us to finish and we ended up having to take home leftovers. I really enjoyed the beef pancake roll here. The inside has generous amounts of thinly sliced, marinated beef shank, and the scallion pancake wrap is rolled out very thin, crispy, and not oily at all. There's a bunch of julienned cucumbers inside for that crunch and just the right amount of hoisin sauce for that added sweetness. I wouldn't change a thing about this dish. With the three cup chicken, I enjoyed how spicy the dish was; definitely a dish you'll want to enjoy over rice. If I had to nitpick, one improvement that could have been made to the dish is if the chicken pieces were cut to be smaller. The potstickers here are well-made. If you're looking for Japanese-style gyoza, you will not find that here. The ones here are very in-line with what you'd find at food stalls on the streets of Taiwan in terms of texture, taste, and flavor. The potsticker wrappers have a wonderful crispiness to them and the pork filling is well-seasoned: I didn't actually need to use the included sauce to enjoy the dumplings. Overall, I had a wonderful meal at Pine & Crane and would happily come back again for lunch. Prices are competitive for the amount of food that you get and food was very promptly delivered out of the kitchen.

The hostess was very gracious and took our order even through the restaurant was very busy. They came back within ten minutes, ran our card, and we were on our way. We didnt realize that the cake came with ice cream, and we wouldn't make it home before it melted, so we quickly found a bench downtown and OMG...the first bite was life changing!! We practically inhaled at least half of it right there, with the ice cream and berry sauce! The sweet, crunchy, sugared edges takes this treat to a whole other realm! Make sure you try this if you're in the area...it will not disappoint!

I am a regular customer of Nick's on 2nd in Long Beach. Because both locations are part of the same…read morecompany, I expected the same level of respectful, cordial, and attentive service at the Laguna Beach location. Unfortunately, that was not my experience tonight. The issue began with an espresso martini that I regularly order at the Long Beach location, in which they add a bit of chocolate of some sort. It tasted like a regular espresso martini. Espresso martini is a regular item on the menu. I explained that the drink did not taste good at all, and I was offered another drink. It was weird that they never picked up the drink after even asking people to remove it, they did not. When the bill came, I had to go find someone to take off the drink, which was barely tasted because it wasn't even good, so we could catch the shuttle bus on time to head back to the hotel. I found the manager, and he was vague, saying this phrase of "no guarantee." There was no verbal warning about this, and so it was a shock to me. I felt confused and decided I did not need to be stressed about someone not wanting to listen to me or make me feel like my concern was not legitimate. What concerned me most was that, rather than directly addressing the issue and explaining the policy to me, the situation seemed to be handled in a way that left me having to pursue a resolution myself. For a paying customer, that was extremely disappointing and unnecessary. I also learned from my waiter at the end of the evening that the manager had instructed him to leave the drink on the table. I had not previously been aware of this instruction. But now it makes sense. Learning that the manager had specifically instructed my waiter to leave the drink there was particularly concerning to me because it appeared to place my waiter in the middle of an issue that wasn't his to bear. It is sad that the manager used his position to direct an employee to carry out an instruction that contributed to a ruined evening. I do not understand why a paying customer would be treated this way, particularly when the issue could have been resolved through a simple and respectful explanation and initiative. I regularly visit Nick's on 2nd and have always HAD THE BEST EXPERIENCE!! Food is always good, but if you want better customer service, go to the Long Beach location.
