    Tender steak with mashed potatoes and vegetables
    May J.

    I am so excited to find this place. I had the steak with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. The meat was perfectly cooked how I requested and delicious. A variety of sides are offered, finally a place that offers healthy vegetables for those of us that like meat AND vegetables. The vegetables were more seasoned than I would have preferred but I like things more plain. The green drink filled with cucumbers tumeric and other healthy additions was so good. Excellent customer service. Mace was so helpful, friendly, kind, and all around wonderful! I look forward to trying their salmon, shrimp, chicken, and salads. It's so nice to find a place that serves this kind of wholesome food at more reasonable prices than a traditional sit down restaurant. The ambiance is nice too. I look forward to my next visit!

    Great and healthy food, AWESOME customer service, great location and very affordable prices. The restaurant is large, clean and very well organized. Parking can be a challenge due to a planet fitness gym based in the same shopping center however, you WILL eventually locate a spot.

    Great flavors & sandwiches! Beer selection was strong for the fee choices they had. Chicken Pesto sandwich was awesome, toasted perfectly & fries were huge! 4 stars for the lack of A/C, many of the tables had leftovers on them, with a full staff they should have someone clean more often. Would visit again for the food & friendly staff!

    The salmon plate was delicious with a side of mashed potatoes and baby greens. I loved so much the mash it was buttery, smooth and delicious. The baby greens was fresh and the dressing was very good. I wish maybe the salmon was a tad bit more flavorful but it was cooked perfectly and a nice portion. Green juice was also good and a lot! Didn't except 2 servings.

    Located on the corner of Ventura Bl. And Laurel Canyon Bl. It sits on the 2nd floor with some Mountain View's. It's a cool spot for some healthy eating. I ordered the Salmon salad. They have sandwiches, bowls, plates and salads. So when you come in you place your order at the counter , get your number they bring out your food and enjoy. The salad was delicious! They lettuce was crisp, tomatoes perfectly ripe, cucumbers, plentiful and topped with the Salmon, perfect! The dressing was light and not over powering. I imagine this a great lunch/dinner spot . The staff were great. Greeted with smiles, everyone was helpful and pleasant I will be here again

    avocado toast & hibiscus tea

    Staff couldn't have been friendlier and the food was great! I got the avocado toast, which was very fresh, and the hibiscus tea was a standout- which also gets free refills! Inside was very clean with plenty of seating.

    Overly salted chicken

    The food is terrible! I ordered a country styled fried chicken and it is covered in salt and spices, as if they spilled a container of salt on it by accident. The kid's Mac and cheese has no flavor at all. Definitely won't be going back.

    Our first time trying this restaurant. Karim was very patient and friendly. He explained the menu to us and shared some suggestions. Our meals were so delicious and satisfying.

    Decided to stop by TG for dinner. Haven't eaten at this place in a while. Loved the updated menu. The food continues being fresh and flavorful as expected. The cashier was friendly and welcoming and although the restaurant didn't have too many people sitting down to eat, there was a lot of foot traffic from take out orders. The table seating ranged from booths to stools and high tables. For my dinner I decided to create a plate with chipotle chicken, a spinach salad with the dressing on the side and roasted vegetables. My husband got the buttermilk fried chicken, roasted fingerling potatoes and roasted vegetables. Each plate comes with a ride of crispy toast. My only complaint would be for bigger portion of protein serving size.

I was there with a couple of friends, but I could definitely see couples enjoying the setting. Parking is street parking only, though valet is available if you'd rather not deal with it. The area was busy, but I was able to find a spot without too much effort. We ordered a handful of dishes to share. The standout appetizer for me was the Spam Crispy Rice. The rice was crispy without being overly hard, and the flavors worked really well together. Simple, but done right. The Tempura Cauliflower was another solid choice. It had a nice crunch on the outside, and the tangy sauce gave it enough flavor to keep things interesting without overwhelming the dish. The Crab Cake was probably my favorite item of the night. It was moist, flavorful, and packed with crab rather than filler. Definitely something I'd order again. The Malama Mochiko Chicken was good, but it didn't leave much of an impression compared to the other dishes we tried. Nothing wrong with it, just not the most memorable item on the table. Finally, we shared the Lobster Noodles. They were very garlicky, which I enjoyed, but thankfully not swimming in butter. The lobster was cooked well, and the dish felt rich without being too heavy. Service was attentive throughout the meal, and our food came out at a good pace. Prices are on the higher side, but not surprising given the location, atmosphere, and seafood-focused menu. Overall, I had a good experience and would come back. The crab cake and crispy rice alone are worth another visit.

Here was our choices: Island Lemonade Tempura Cauliflower Seared Ahi Tuna Steak Horseradish crushed Mahi Mahi Mālama Mochiko Chicken Mac Salad Pono Mix Plate Special Ice Cream and Berries (Not on menu) We had reservations and we were seated within 10 minutes of our reservation time. Staff was outstanding and very attentive. The place was hopping so we were impressed by the service. There is outside and inside dining tables. The ice cream and berries was so good we could have had that for an appetizer, entree and dessert. All of the dishes were well prepared, tasty and served hot. The Mochiko Chicken was very complex. I like to eat mine with no sauce but it had a strong shoyu taste but when I used the tomato ginger dipping sauce it gave it a totally different taste that cut down the salt. I think it was a bit too sophisticated for me. A dish meant for people with a more discerning palate. You can't go wrong with the different plates except for the Mochiko Chicken which if you are adventurous this might be your dish. All of the other dishes we tried were good and we would order again. We certainly plan to go back. Take your friends and/or family for great food and service.

    What a pleasant surprise of a restaurant behind the very non-descript but mysterious grey building…read morewith no-signage door! It's a restaurant with an overall speakeasy vibe BUT is not dark and foreboding. Rather, its high ceilings, well spaced out tables, and appropriately lit dining/bar space has a welcoming, cool vibe! And the music to fill the space before the live music was well, my kinda music - vibey 80s/90s hip hop. On top of that, the STAFF - the folks we met on a Monday (senior citizen hour) night were incredibly kind and attentive. We did stay through the first set of musicians that performed and it was great. Loud, but not loud enough that me and my friend couldn't still talk. Now onto the food. A nice surprise, considering this is a music joint! That bread was solid. The side portions decent - mushrooms and broccoli were fine. The steak was a generous size, cooked appropriately medium rare, and came with a unique side of bone marrow salsa. That was a nice, interesting touch. Was it the BEST food I've ever had? Not exactly, BUT it was the best food as part of a music joint, in the Valley. So the 5 star rating is really for the OVERALL experience.

    **TL;DR: Great food, but terrible seating layout and "VIP" policy ruins the experience**…read more We booked a reservation well in advance and explicitly selected the main dining room, looking forward to the live music experience Verse is known for. Instead, we were placed to the right of the stage in a row of three 2-person tables (which they still consider the "main dining room"). For a venue centered around a performance, this layout makes zero sense: You only see the backs and profiles of the band, and the tables are positioned so that one person literally has their back to the stage the entire night. It felt like a second-class experience that completely missed the mark on value. Seeing three empty tables with proper views, we asked the hostess if we could move. We were told no because they were "completely booked and reserved for VIPs." Some time later, a manager came by to say that one of the VIPs hadn't showed up so a table was now available (the VIP by the way was an off-duty worker there). We didn't end up moving; the whole interaction left us with really mixed, sour feelings. It's incredibly frustrating to know regular paying customers who book ahead are treated as second-tier while prime tables sit empty for no-show "VIPs." Valet is $15 by the way. Due to the subpar experience and being stuck in a corner, I just couldn't in good conscience order the way I typically do, which usually includes multiple appetizers, several pasta and main dishes, dessert, and a great bottle of wine or champagne. Instead, we heavily scaled back our meal. As for what we did try, the kitchen has real highlights but a few misses. We started with the Peruvian scallops (5 to an order), served cold, ceviche-style, which had good flavor. For mains, the lobster tagliatelle was excellent. However, the mushroom linguini fell short; the pasta was far too tough and needed a couple more minutes of cooking, and it was oversaturated with a mornay sauce that completely overpowered the dish. To drink, the rosé was crisp and fresh. Overall, while some of the food is excellent, the poor floor layout and frustrating seating policies made this an extremely disappointing experience that wasn't worth the premium price.
