1. 3 Square Cafe + Bakery
Los Angeles, CA 90293
(310) 399-6504
Categories:
Bakeries,
Sandwiches,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Venice
Seems like a great place but the food is a little overpriced for me - although looking at the menu now, it seems more reasonable than I remember. I only ordered a couple breads/pastries so maybe those were more expensive than I liked.
The coffee was…More »
2. Alibi Room
Los Angeles, CA 90066
(310) 390-9300
Finally went here after reading hearing about it for so long. Naturally people spoke about the availability of Kogi tacos here, but I rarely heard anything specific about the bar itself so I was always hesitant to come here. The other night a…More »
3. Ayara Thai
Ye olde lunch decision. Yet again I found myself craving some new restaurant for lunch and saw this place in my bookmarks. I ordered the pad Thai lunch special which came with a healthy portion of pad Thai (I got chicken), two vegetable spring…More »
4. Baby Blues BBQ
So delicious! It has been a couple months since I was last here so unfortunately this will be a short review since I can't remember exactly what we ate.
Four of us arrived a little late, around 8, on a weekday and the place was packed. Luckily,…More »
5. Backstage Bar & Grill
Backstage is a decent place with a good karaoke scene. It can get crowded but it's a fun way to unwind after a long day, if you're in the area. I don't think I'd ever make a special drive to come out here unless a friend is having a gathering.
6. Baja Cantina
Went here for lunch the other day and had a great time. The place was mysteriously empty when we arrived at 12. It filled up, though, after we sat down.
There was a group of us and we sat outside. Nice atmosphere, nice place to be outside,…More »

Venice, CA 90292

Categories:
Lounges,
American (New),
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Venice
Pretty cool place. I like that half is indoors and half is outdoors. The fire pit looks cool and provides a decent amount of warmth. Even though it's on a major street, you don't really hear the traffic at all. The lounge is set up with…More »
8. Bella Vista Brazilian Gourmet Pizza
Culver City, CA 90232
(310) 558-2374
I bookmarked this place to try and promptly forgot about it, as I do with so many bookmarks on yelp. It wasn't until a coworker suggested that we all go out for pizza, saying that he wanted to try this new restaurant called Bella Vista, that I…More »
9. Beverage Warehouse
Huge selection of beers, wines, liquors and spirits and good prices with a friendly and helpful staff that can get you that perfect brand of Cachaça to use in your Caipirinhas.
10. Bigfoot West
We all know the original Bigfoot Lodge is a superb bar with an excellent bar staff, fun karaoke nights, delicious drinks and an all around great atmosphere. But what about those of us who moved to the west side? Don't we deserve some of that…More »
11. Bikerowave
In a similar category to the Bicycle Kitchen (where I built my bike). I now live on the west side and needed to do some maintenance so a friend recommended this place. It was perfect. Open relatively late (10pm?). Very friendly and helpful staff…More »
12. Boardwalk 11
Los Angeles, CA 90034
(310) 837-5245
Categories:
Restaurants,
Karaoke,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhood: Palms
I've only come here on Thursdays for karaoke. Not sure if they do karaoke very night. It's not too crowded on Thursdays, which is why my friends and I chose that night.
I can understand why it isn't that crowded. The waitresses/waiters are not…More »

Categories:
Wine Bars,
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Culver City
Came here last night for a Laugintas tasting - 5 beers for $15 plus a souvenir glass and 20% off any additional full beer. I'd actually never heard of this place before but just happened to read about it on a blog I follow and was pleasantly…More »

Thursday turtle racing!! Thursday turtle racing!! Thursday turtle racing!!
That's all I've experienced of this place. Other reviewers can give a better account of the whole experience, and it's definitely something you should experience at least…More »

Burgers
Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
Met some coworkers here for drinks on a Friday night and the place was packed. It wasn't packed-like-sardines packed, but it was still really crowded. We found a spot near the bar and ordered drinks while we waited for a table, which took over an…More »
16. The Brig
Venice, CA 90291
(310) 399-7537
Categories:
Music Venues,
Dive Bars
Neighbourhood: Venice
You gotta be prepared to come in there. It gets really crowded and loud but luckily never feels stifling. Drinks are reasonable for the location. Tuesday nights there is free, live jazz. How could anyone pass that up?
Don't forget to check out the…More »
17. Café Bolivar
Santa Monica, CA 90405
(310) 581-2344
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
I read about this place in the weekly yelp, chocolate edition. They mentioned the choco chai - Oaxacan cocoa and Indian spiced tea. I knew immediately that I had to have it. I finally made it to this place this weekend. It was worth the wait.
The…More »
18. Cha Cha Chicken
Really good food. I've only eaten here once but I really want to go back.
The first time I biked to Santa Monica I went to the beach and saw this place on the way. I was really hungry so I'm sure anything would have sufficed, but I'm glad I stopped…More »
19. Chego
I've of course been wanting to try this place for a while, given all the media buzz it's gotten over the past couple months. I actually live in walking distance so I'm surprised it took me this long. Thankfully, though, I found myself coming home…More »
20. Chipotle Mexican Grill
Marina Del Rey, CA 90292
(310) 821-0059
First off, it should be noted that I've only been to two other Chipotle restaurants in my life (Burbank and West Hollywood) and the last time I went was nearly a year ago. I remember the burritos being delicious, filling, reasonably priced, and…More »
21. Cock 'n Bull
Santa Monica, CA 90405
(310) 399-9696
This can be a fun place but it's never somewhere I'll think of going. They have a fun trivia night (I forget which night, maybe tuesdays?) but they don't have enough chairs for everyone. perhaps it's too popular for its own good.
It also gets really…More »
22. Coffee Connection
I used to come to this place all the time since it was a good midpoint on my way home from work. If I had had a particularly stressful day, or traffic was frustrating me, I would stop here to relax.
The coffee is pretty good and I liked the…More »
23. The Coffee Co
Los Angeles, CA 90045
(310) 645-7315
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Westchester / LAX
Great food, great atmosphere, and even better service.
I was bringing my brother to the airport and figured that that would make a good excuse to try this restaurant.
We got there around 10:30 and the place looked full. There was a line to the door…More »
24. Conservatory For Coffee, Tea & Cocoa
Culver City, CA 90232
(310) 558-0436
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Culver City
2.5 stars. I don't really get what all the hype is about this place. Personally, I didn't find their drinks or menu to be anything special. Additionally, I didn't find the atmosphere to be all that welcoming. There are a paltry amount of tables…More »
25. The Counter
Santa Monica, CA 90405
(310) 399-8383
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: Santa Monica
I wanna give this place 4.5 stars but not a full 5.
The customization aspect of it is, of course, awesome. It's always great to choose how and what you want. I have this restaurant idea of opening a place where the menu is all the ingredients we…More »
26. Crossroads BBQ
Los Angeles, CA 90064
(424) 832-7300
Categories:
Barbeque,
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: West Los Angeles
Everyone in my party had the same opinion. The food was, unfortunately, just mediocre and priced above what it tasted, both for the BBQ and the accompanying Mexican joint.
I ordered the pulled pork with mac and cheese and creamed spinach. I liked…More »
27. The Culver Hotel
Culver City, CA 90232
(310) 558-9400
This is a pretty classy place although you don't have to be classy to come here. It's stop pre or post movie for a quick drink or light bite. I don't remember any specific moments or meals here but there certainly weren't any bad experiences.
28. The Daily Pint
This is what a good, home town, home grown bar should be like. Walk in and you feel instantly like a part of the crowd (even if you know no one there). One half is a crowded bar while the other half seems more like your best friend's basement and…More »
29. Elvino Wine Shop & Tasting Bar
Venice, CA 90291
(310) 396-9705
Category:
Beer, Wine & Spirits
Neighbourhood: Venice
Checked this place out on a lazy Sunday a couple months ago. I was biking around and thought I'd stop by Abbot Kinney and check out some local shops. This place caught my eye because of the crowd already in there and the allure of wine tastings.…More »
30. Empanada's Place
Los Angeles, CA 90066
(310) 391-0888
Finally went here after driving past it every day towards work. It's really good. I went to Argentina a few months ago and came back craving Argentine food. Low and behold, I end up moving into a neighborhood containing this restaurant. My…More »
31. Father's Office
I'm a really big fan of this place. I just wish it were cheaper.
They have a wide selection of beers and wines, a detailed menu and a very knowledgeable staff who will help you decide what you are looking for based on a few questions. They also…More »
32. Figtree's Café & Grill
I've been here a couple times since I bought two groupons. The first time I came for brunch and had a great meal. However, I can't for the life of me remember what I ordered. I think it was the eggs lulu. It was definitely an egg dish. My friend…More »

Categories:

Finally checked this place out. I liked the atmosphere and enjoyed the food and service but didn't care for the prices.
We started with the fried chicken sliders. I really like the crumbly rosemary biscuit but the chicken could've just as easily…More »

Category:
Auto Repair
Neighbourhood: Westchester / LAX
Very friendly and trustworthy service. A friend gave me a coupon for an oil change here and that's why I went (also, it's near my office). I was very satisfied with the price and service. I was not pressured into getting anything that I hadn't…More »
35. Go Veggie - CLOSED
This is a great little place to grab a quick, healthy lunch. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here but since I can walk here from work, it is a great alternative to the greasy lunch trucks that come.
I got a grilled veggie sandwich which I had…More »
36. Club Good Hurt
This is a decent place to come get a drink and watch your friend's band perform. Or, let your friends get a drink and watch your own band perform. Either way, the bartenders are dressed in a nurse's uniform and are attractive.
Other than that,…More »
37. Gyenari - CLOSED

Neighbourhood: Culver City
Full 5 star review.
My cousins and I came here on a Wednesday and we ordered the G2 special, which is only $99 on Wednesdays (all the prix-fix are cheaper on Wednesdays). We were three people but there were leftovers so I think it's definitely enough…More »
38. Hinano Café
I like that this is a dive bar right smack in the middle of all the other trendy and expensive bars and restaurants in the Marina. It's a great place to grab a burger and beer(s) for lunch or come for a night. But, it can get crowded and hot.
I have…More »
39. Honey's Kettle Fried Chicken
Seriously, what's not to love about fried chicken? Add in some flavorful dips and call yourself Honey's Kettle and you've got yourself a winner. The wait is always really long when I'm there but I've always taken it as a sign that they're preparing…More »
40. Howard's Famous Bacon & Avocado Burgers
I hesitate to give this place any more than 3 stars and wonder if it should actually be 2.5.
To start, the sign attracted me, as it did for many others, it seemed. I've been driving by it for nearly a year (usually on my way to In N Out) always…More »
