1. The Bazaar
Los Angeles, CA 90048
(310) 246-5567
4.5 stars but a Valentine's day bump.
J had been wanting to go to Bazaar for a while, so we made a reservation back in December to check the place out on Valentine's Day weekend. We studied the menu in advance, picked out our dishes, and came to…More »
2. Lucques
West Hollywood, CA 90069
(323) 655-6277
Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: West Hollywood
I've been back here a few times since I first posted my review of Lucques yet I haven't updated my review. For shame!
I really have to bump up my review to 5 stars, because I've had consistently amazing meals at this place. The ambiance is warm and…More »

Pubs
Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
I read about this place in the LA Times, and definitely wanted to try it. Last weekend, we had Saturday night plans to come here and then see a movie at the Landmark. We booked our tickets, and then went to call in a reservation. Oh wait, they…More »

American (New)
Neighbourhood: Culver City
Took my fiance here on a date. We made a reservation for 8:30 and got there around 8:20/8:25. The hostess said that the table wasn't ready yet but would be soon and told us to wait at the bar. The bar area's small and kind of tight, so we opted…More »
5. Osteria Mozza
Went back again last night, this time with 3 friends for the Amaro Bar Menu. The food was just as good as last time... however, we learned that it's not a good idea to go in a group of 4.
We got there around 8:30 and the hostess said that it can be…More »

6. Ludo Bites - CLOSED
Los Angeles, CA 90048

Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Mid-City West
I came here with 3 of my guy friends and it was quite a treat. First off, parking is tough to find in the area (most of the side-streets are permit-only and Cedars-Sinai is to the north). So expect to valet - my mistake - I went to the valet for…More »
7. Ludo Bites at Royal/T - CLOSED
Culver City, CA 90232
(310) 559-6300
Category:
Restaurants
Neighbourhood: Culver City
J & I had joined some friends at Ludo Bites @ Bread Bar and were pretty wowed. So when LudoBites opened up reservations for their latest incarnation, he jumped on it and secured us a table for the opening week. Needless to say, we've been very…More »
8. Upper West
Santa Monica, CA 90405

Category:
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
This is one of those places that has been on my bucket list of places for a long time, and it was worth the wait. The ambiance is really nice, with clean lines and a modern yet comfortable feel. The service was good too, and our large group was…More »
9. LudoBites 6.0 - CLOSED
Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
Categories:
French,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Studio City
J and I have dined at Ludobites 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0. At 2.0 and 5.0 we were in a group of 4, and at 3.0 and 4.0 we were on our own. So I'm one of those Ludo Biatches who may compare my experience.
After 90 minutes of craziness on Open Table, I…More »

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Brentwood
A lot of my criticisms of Tavern have been worked out since my review a year ago, I'm very happy to report! I still have only been here for brunch, but the dishes have become lighter while still staying substantial. I personally love the benedict…More »

Food
Neighbourhood: Beverly Hills
Good, but overrated and expensive. The fish was fresh. The yellowfin with jalapeno was really good, as was the spicy tuna roll. Because of dietary restrictions (including no shellfish) I couldn't try a good chunk of this menu, but what I had was…More »
12. Shilo's Kosher Steakhouse
Los Angeles, CA 90035

Categories:
Steakhouses,
Kosher
Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
I've been back a few times since posting a review here and just don't think it's a 4-star place anymore. The prices have gone up every time I've returned. Now it's over $40 for a steak, in a number of cases. The other thing is that I keep getting…More »

(310) 319-3111
Categories:
Mediterranean,
Lounges
Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
Nestled in a swanky hotel just steps from the beach, Fig offers farmers-market inspired dishes that change seasonally. There's handsome furniture and decor, and everything feels clean and airy. Big pluses for that. However, the overall experience…More »

Breakfast & Brunch
Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
Overall, solid place. I came here for brunch with my fiance and aunt. My aunt was visiting from Montreal, after having spent several years living in France, so I was skeptical about taking her to a "French" place, but she wanted to see the beach…More »
15. Pizzeria Mozza
Last time I went to Pizzeria Mozza we had no reservation. So waiting an hour plus for a seat at the bar seemed acceptable. That's our bad, so no complaints.
This time, however, we booked a table a month in advance for J's birthday. We were going…More »

Like many others, I was really excited for the long-awaited opening of Ink. Even though I had to wait a month to get in the door, it just meant more anticipation. Sadly, I left the place pretty disappointed, but not disappointed enough to give it 2…More »
