1010 Wine and Events was absolutely perfect!…read more My husband and I visited for the first time last night, and it was the perfect spot for date night. I ordered "The Meaty Vegan" over a salad with a side of fries, and he got the New York strip steak. The food was incredibly flavorful and seasoned to perfection. Next time, I definitely want to try "Islands Collide" when it's back in stock! We were greeted right away for our 6:45 PM reservation, and I am so glad we booked ahead. The place filled up incredibly fast--before I even finished my second glass of wine, it was an absolute full house. The ambiance was top-tier, complete with a live DJ. Unbeknownst to us, it was R&B and Soul Music Bingo night, and the jam was jamming! The entire vibe was beautifully Black-owned and vibrant. Our server, Alexandria W., was incredibly professional, friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and proactive. Despite there being only two servers for an entirely packed house, you would never know it because they remained so cool, collected, and unfazed. Everyone was well taken care of, and the room was filled with great spirits. There were two large parties celebrating, and the energy was so welcoming it felt like we were a part of the fun even though we weren't. The entire establishment, including the restrooms, was pristine. We opted for valet, which was clutch since I was wearing heels. I even noticed a single woman get approached by a gentleman at the bar--this truly is a wonderful space for couples, groups, friends, and singles alike. We look forward to visiting again soon! Love that this gem is in Inglewood.

I ended up finding a spot on the street which is rare. They have a really extensive selection of Black owned wines and the food is always delicious. On my last visit I met a friend here for brunch and it was a vibe from the moment I walked in! We sat at the bar, there was a DJ and lots of dancing, eating and drinking! I decided to go with the bottomless mimosas... they have a variety of flavors and they keep them coming. Service was amazing, our bar tender was attentive and also added to the party atmosphere. I also ordered the chicken and waffles... the 3 large chicken wings were seasoned just right and crispy and was a perfect compliment to the waffle! Everyone was enjoying their Sunday Funday! Very much day party vibes. There were also kids there... not sure if it's really kid friendly but they seemed to have a good time too, lol.

They even had live music with a lady singing and playing piano/keyboard - very nice start to our evening! Keep on, keeping on!

A quick shout-out to my favorite Italian restaurant! Although I haven't visited in person lately,…read moreI still order delivery through Grubhub. My go-to dishes are the Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe and the Bruschetta Avocado. The Cacio e Pepe may literally mean "spaghetti with cheese and pepper," but it's so much more than that. The pasta is perfectly coated in a silky, savory sauce made from Pecorino Romano and freshly cracked black pepper--simple ingredients that come together into something incredibly rich, comforting, and flavorful. The Bruschetta Avocado is another favorite and pairs beautifully with the pasta. I highly recommend both. And I'm sure Sara, the owner and operator, is still as chill and wonderful as ever.

He allowed me to watch him do his magic during his set. It's a skill I've longed to learn as part of many on the good ol bucket list. What comes to mind when thinking about this venue is comparable to a person inherently born with a lot of charisma. Prices are fair, especially for the area. But the drinks are where it really stands out. They're clearly made with fresh, high quality ingredients. I will warn you it's the kind of place you come for one and end up staying longer than you planned :)

Came in after having dinner nearby and wanting to have a late-night cocktail. Drinks: Ordered the X Cadillac Margarita. It was just okay. Not bad, but also nothing special. Service: The bartender was friendly, but the service was somewhat spotty. Environment: I will say that the place was pretty crowded, and everyone was having a lot of fun. There's a small dance floor in the back. Bottom Line: It's a fun place that straddles the line between dive bar and local hotspot.

The Lincoln House | (Utility Room) - 9/10…read more Hidden in the back of the Lincoln house the utility room is a quaint get away from downtown covina. The speakeasy is unique and even serves full menu of great food! Aesthetic & Ambiance: 9.5/10 - it was very prohibition themed and the menus being price/luggage tags was very fun. Came on a saturday night at 6:30 reservation and it was very quiet with us being the only table most of the evening. The outside restaurant has live bands which can be a little loud. Service: 100/10 - Markley was the bartender and the only one who operates the speakeasy, she's not only the best bartender Ive had custom drinks from, but she also makes each individual product herself. She explained every part of the drinks and ingredients, and even offered to make any kind of drink we'd want if there was nothing on her menu. Drinks: 10/10 - if you like cocktail bars this is it...EVERY drink was a unique in flavor and handcrafted by Markley from steep to serve. house-infused liquors and tinctures- ONE OF A KIND BAR Food: 8.5/10 - all around great some dishes better than others Bread & Butter - 9/10 great toasted sourdough with a garlic butter and the butter was perfect salty-addition. Calamari - 7/10 a little too breaded for my liking with the rings and tentacles being a little dry. Deviled eggs: 7.5/10 interesting they were fried, but had great flavor all over Mongolian Beef: 8/10 very good flavor, and rice was tasty, but the sauce was a little salty. Cajun chicken pasta: 9.5/10 chicken was tender, pasta was cooked perfectly, sauce was delicious, and the sausage was a great addition. I'd easily drive an hour from LA again to come here!

Energy goes way up with it though. Music is consistently great and the crowd matches it. Mostly a younger, high-energy vibe. If you actually want to enjoy your drinks and maybe chat with the bartenders, show up early. Once it gets going, it's all motion and noise. It's never disappointed us. You kind of know what you're signing up for, and it delivers every time. Ambiance leans classy without feeling vintage. Dim lighting, a touch of rustic, and just enough polish to set the tone without overdoing it. They've got a patio too, which comes in clutch when you need a breather or want to actually hear the person next to you. We usually do street parking and it's not too bad if you're willing to walk a bit. Reservation needed: Not really, unless you've got a big group and want your own section Parking: 6/10 - Street Crowd: 8/10 Vibe: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Music: 9/10 Drinks: 8/10 Price: $$

This is my third time departing from LAX, and I've stopped by for a couple of glasses of champagne before takeoff each time. I was surprised to see the same friendly bartender again--Brayen--who remembered me and was just as welcoming, attentive, and easy to chat with as before. The prices are definitely on the higher side (as expected at an airport), but the quality, selection, and relaxed vibe make it worth it. Highly recommend stopping in if you have some time before your flight! Made a couple of new friends from Australia and Colombia hope their flights went well!

The Lyrarakis Vidiano Queen White 2025 from Crete is a rare white I do not hate, and the MAAL Biutiful Malbec has an overripe fruit flavor that I totally dig. I always fall for the Hand of Fatima - lots of dips, perfect for nibbling and sharing. There are always meats and cheeses as well. It's been 10 years, and I still love this place. Their carefully curated spirits and never-ending supply of charcuterie means there's something for everyone and an excellent time for all.

It was pretty quiet, yet we were barely greeted by the staff. To make matters worse, another patron was changing their 2-year-old's diaper right there on the patio. It was completely "butt baked" and extremely unappetizing while trying to eat. Food we ordered : * Pâté Sandwich: The pâté itself was actually good, but it was ruined by a ton of mustard. I had to scrape it off just to eat it as the mustard completely overpowered the sandwich. * Salmon Sandwich: Very bland and lacked flavor. Side sales were bland. We had to ask for extra dressing. * Iced Coffee: There was something "weird" floating in my coffee. Between the hygiene issues on the patio, and the mediocre food, I won't be back. Maybe I should have just stuck with wine and cheese.

Cute spot with charcuterie and cheese. They have raclette on Saturdays too, which my boyfriend was…read moresuper excited about, as it's surprisingly hard to find restaurants that serve raclette (not just fondue) in LA. I called ahead to make a reservation and when we arrived there, it was an easy process to get in. Metered street parking available. You order with a team member but pay at the counter. The guys there were awesome - super personable and friendly, they were chill to chat with. We ordered the raclette (one each) and a chocolate tart for dessert, which they were kind enough to set aside. Overall, I'd highly recommend for a date night or intimate dinner.
