    Russian lunch platter
    Meghan M.

    Have eaten here twice, and have loved both times! We order the Armenian and the Russian lunch specials. A deal for $12. The food is great and tastes like home cooking, and generous portions. The pictures of the food don't do the flavor justice, even the plain white rice taste amazing. Highly recommend to stop by!!

Moments later our server came to tell us that the manager said Happy Hour was cancelled because there was going to be a popular game on tv in about an hour. We spoke to the manager, explaining that it was bad form to cancel our order. She was unyielding. We wound up with the same order, just paying more. Although the pulled pork sandwiches were good, the experience left a bad taste. Later, I looked at their website which proclaims: "HAPPY HOUR 4:30 PM - 8:00 PM Our legendary seven-days-a-week social ritual. Premium bites and crafted drinks elevated for Sherman Oaks' night owls and early gatherers alike." Terrible customer service.

Usually these places don't want the likes of me at a table ruining the ambience. The management (Katie) at the Capital Grille genuinely treated me like a guest. If the Capital Grille in Burbank treats the lowly AV guy as a guest imagine how well you will be treated in this establishment. I'm continually surprised by the pretentious attitude of restaurants. This is not the case with the Capital Grille in Burbank. They genuinely have a sincere concern to ensure every person that walks through the door has a wonderful experience.

    Was in the area, and had never been here, plus the menu looked good, so made a quick reservation…read moreand stopped by for an early dinner. Sat at the bar and we were greeted immediately and provided water. After a quick glance at the menu, started off with cocktails. The Mai Tai want your classic Mai Tai, and the better said they were missing an ingredient, so he did a twist on the Mai Tai. It was ok, felt it was missing a needed flavor element though. The passion fruit mojito was pretty tasty though, definitely had that mojito taste with a little passion fruit pop. For food we started with two grilled oysters and the lobster and crab cake. The grilled oysters were delicious, but how do you go wrong with anple cheese and bread crumbs texture on an oyster? The lobster and crab cake was also great, plenty of crab and lobster meat within. Exactly what you would want in this dish. For entrees we went with the dry aged New York strip and, they had a special wagyu Burger with blue cheese and truffle. The strip was aged for 18-24 days, cooked perfectly and was so tender. Just a bite you want to enjoy each time. The burger was also delicious with the truffle mixed with the blue cheese and caramelized onions. You get a little of everything in each bite, just makes your mouth happy. Overall, nice steakhouse spot in Burbank that is well with the trip. That burger was phenomenal, as was the NY strip, and that lobster and crab cake along with the oysters, delicious. The Mai Tai could be improved but they did what they could with the ingredients on hand, so that's my fault for choosing something they didn't have everything for. Definitely a nice gem in Burbank so, if you're in the area, and are hungry, go stop by and enjoy what they have to offer in an upscale space.

Had a reservation, but the restaurant was very busy, so we were seated outside on a patio, which was fine. Started off with an amuse consisting of a sparkling rose and a whipped, creamy mixture of goat cheese, pecans, chives and aleppo pepper. The rose was rose, it was a small sipping glass, while the whipped treat was alright, interesting but presentation was very basic. For the real meal, we started with bigeye tuna tartare and the pork belly and watermelon. The pork belly was perfect, nice and crispy on the outside, juicy inside, while the watermelon gave a pop of sweetness to cut the savory of the pork belly. The tartare was equally as good with pickled ginger, avocado and ponzu sauce with crispy wontons. For entrees we went with the langostino fettuccine and the braised short rib. The short rib fell apart perfectly and had good flavor to it. It didn't necessarily come off as memorable but it was good. The langostino fettuccine was great, good amount of langostino in a vodka sauce giving a little spicy note to the dish. Very good. To end the meal we had the apple cobbler and the molten cake. The cobbler came with vanilla ice cream and candied walnuts. Nice overall bite. The molten cake was the opposite of molten, missing that runny gooeyness in the middle. Overall, great ambiance, good food and pleasant staff. I'd say skip the molten cake and up to you on the short rib.

Toasted and caramelized pecans add a ton of depth and joy. 4. No sign over the door, so all new-comers have to ask the valet "is it this one" which I found mildly annoying. 5. Would definitely come again even just for the Sticky Toffee Cake.

Crispy papadan and creamy dressing add perfect texture. One of the best things I've had in a while, WOW! Bluefin Tuna Carpaccio - Ingredients blend flawlessly...clean, but nuanced. Like the subtle decadence of avocado. Delicate balance of fresh ingredients sings. Bright tomato and mild texture works. Doesn't need to be innovative since it's done so competently. Saag Burrata - One bite of the creamy saag is enough to float home on a pillow! All I want lol but the burrata, cilantro, and herbed toast do assist without taking away. The highest class spinach dip you've ever had omg! Got some skewers from Vey in Back...the use of fresh mint with steak was brilliant. Harissa elevated chicken hearts, but there was a bit too much going on.

This dark, hole-in-the-wall bar serves excellent drinks and innovative twists on classics, with Oy Bar's special touch to make this a unique SFV find. Their staple wagyu pastrami quesadillas have a pronounced comforting cheese flavor with a touch of jalapeño bite. The tortilla has an interesting texture, one which I'm not sure I liked or disliked as it appeared dry, even with the fatty pastrami. The Peruvian scallop sashimi was fresh, with layers of flavor and textures from the passion fruit sauce, cavior and thinly sliced red peppers. The cured salmon yaki onigiri is rice heavy; the salmon was fresh and beautifully dressed. We also had the mango rum ice cream which was perhaps my least favorite order. The rum was heavy and made the ice cream slightly bitter and the mango flavors was masked.
