1. Café Stella
Los Angeles, CA 90029
(323) 666-0265
I wish there were more restaurants like Cafe Stella around. It's tucked away into a little alley/patio area near a cute cheese store and barber shop in trendy hipstery Silver Lake.
It's the best restaurant in LA to sit outside and enjoy a summer or…More »
2. El Floridita

Categories:
Cuban,
Dance Clubs
Neighbourhood: Hollywood
I've been to Cuba and let me tell you firsthand........I LOVED El Floridita! Don't let its location in a strip mall or it's borderline tacky interior with mirrored walls, banquet style tables and chairs and makeshift bar fool you..... This place is…More »
3. Ecco Pizzeria & Bar
I found a http://Restaurant.com coupon for Ecco online which motivated us to try this place out. We walked over on a Friday night and found the place to be moderately busy.
I liked the look and feel of the space and how the tables and bar area were…More »

5. Shin-Sen-Gumi ShabuShabu & Hakata Horumon
I love this place! The look, the feel, the patrons, the staff, the food.... ALL PERFECT! We went for lunch and sat at the counter. During lunch time they only offer shabu shabu and sukiyaki. We ordered the sukiyaki (your choices are beef and pork).…More »

7. Electric Karma
Electric Karma is hands down my favorite Indian restaurant. I've been there a bunch of times and each and every visit is satisfying and leaves me looking forward to the next.
We've sat in the main dinning room and in the back patio room where they…More »
8. Burger Bar
Thank you Huber Keller!
I tried my first kobe beef burger here. Up until this kobe burger experience I thought Angus beef burgers were top notch. Wrong! Kobe beef burgers ftw!
I have to say I don't get the whole celebrity chef, build your own burger…More »

12. Azeen's Afghani Restaurant
I see myself returning to Azeen's over and over to try everything on the menu! I have to admit when I asked around to learn what Afghani cuisine was like and was told that it was "a cross between Persian and Indian cuisine" I had no doubt that I…More »
13. Habana
I accompanied a couple friends here last summer for their friend's birthday dinner. It was a beautiful OC summer night and we were a large party and had a nice table on the beautiful patio out back. The patio is cozy and it is lit up by numerous…More »
14. Claire's at the Museum
I can't believe I didn't know this place was here until now. I would have had my graduation lunch here instead of La Palapa down the street. The views of the ocean are better from up here.
I loved the patio seating complete with umbrellas, heatlamps,…More »

Thai

Ever since I moved to the South Bay 7-8 years ago I've been searching for the South Bay's "Best" Thai restaurant and "Best" Thai take-out or delivery. Chaba is thus far my favorite Thai restaurant in the South Bay! It is a little pricey, but I feel…More »
18. Fritto Misto
Love this place. Always takes me forever to order because everything is so yummy and amazing that I can never decide. I always end up creating my own pasta concoction and eating too much. I could eat there everyday! The salads and pastas are…More »
19. Five Guys Burgers and Fries
I can't believe I'm putting this admission in writing on a public website. I know I'm going to catch a lot of flack for this, but here it goes.... eek! Dare I say it? I like Five Guys better than In N Out!!!! AHHHHH! I grew up on In N Out burgers,…More »
