    Cheers!!
    Maddy M.

    One of the best kept secrets for wine lovers in the Valley. Buvette is a cute and comfy, yet elegant wine bar nestled next to Tipsy Cow on Ventura Blvd. It's very small inside, but never to the point where you can't get a seat. They have small two person booths, bar seating, and some seating outside. I recently came for a fun girls tarot card night and had so much fun. Great selection of wine, and food menu is small. I never come here expecting to eat a meal, I usually just get a little charcuterie board to go with my wine and it's great to share. Food can sometimes take a minute, because the person pouring the wine is also the one making your cheeseboard. Folks behind the bar are always friendly and approachable. One of my favorite spots in the Valley for a glass!

    Always filling everyone's glass

    I was not only touched by the quality of service but also touched by the kindness of the young man behind the bar. Class act. Wine was also very very good and I know wine.

    Great wine, cute service and lovely ambiance! Love how close it is to where I live. It will absolutely be my regular hangout!

    LOVE Buvette. The wine selection is vast and the bartenders/wine enthusiasts are extremely knowledgeable. They will help find the optimal varietal for your desired interest. The menu is also super good, but is limited. Adorable little booths on the side with a few bar seats and a couple tables outside. We love bringing our dog and sitting on the patio. The decor is super cute. This location is very small, maybe 30ish ppl max? Perfect for a date night, drink and apps, or dinner. Happy Hour is great and the wines on it aren't just low shelf like a lot of places do, they're always rotating which is fun. Cheese boards are always great. The staff is always so incredibly kind.

    This is the cutest little wine bar! I went with two friends, and I would not recommend going with more than 2. They did have seating, but it's definitely an intimate setting. The bartender was extremely helpful, and let me try 3 different wines before settling on a glass. I really appreciated the care taken! Overall, I can't wait to return and try more.

    Ahhh Buvette you gorgeous local haunt! We enjoyed yet another Union Sacré wine with an incredible charcuterie board. I had to get all fancy with the combos but this was an incredible date night walk by. I can't recommend this place enough, it's cute, chique, and has a great selection of wines. The service is, as always, impeccable and sweet. Ya'll rule, thank you for a lovely evening!

    My friend turned 40 and we decided the throw her a "Where's Waldo" 40th birthday crawl with intentions of us all dressing as Waldo and hopping from place to place down Ventura Blvd, seeing what we could get into. Buvette was the first place of the night and I'm SO GLAD we made a stop here. This place is small but mighty. A nice wine and cocktail list only (get your beer next door), small booth seating on the inside and a small intimate patio outside. It's a nice place for lovers, no doubt, but our group made it a little rowdy for the evening. That's ok. Everyone had good laughs staring at us dressed alike. We bought a bottle of French wine to toast the birthday girl (this one was very good! Lightly sweet with citrus notes, extremely refreshing), and the bartender was such a help to us the time we were there! He pulled out glasses for everyone to toast, he was our photographer and our cheerleader. Thank you! I want to come back on a date. I'll be back.

    Been scooting pass this 'lil sliver of a bar for years shuffling over to Tipsy Cow in the early afternoon as it is boarded up closed until 4pm. Little did I know this piece of Jenga in between the Cow and Toast is a cozy place of R&R with great wine picks, small selection of good beer, pristine cocktails as well as great small bites (tinned fish ftw) and even better [bar] tenders. Very welcoming, knowledgeable staff. Must try.

    5* Wine, Food, Service, and Ambiance…read more We loved our experience at this authentic, quaint, and charming wine bar, where everything, from the warm, attentive service to the quality of the food and wine, felt authentic and thoughtful.. It was truly a journey through vintage wines, complemented by an expansive collection of whites, reds, roses, and even beer. There was something for every palate and the selection made the experience feel both intimate and exploratory. What surprised me most was the quality of the food! The risotto arancini was perhaps the best I've had in a long time: crispy on the outside, perfectly creamy inside, and incredibly flavorful. The charcuterie board was another highlight, filled with delightful surprises, including marmelade jam, fava bean chips, quality cheeses, and carefully selected meatss. Every bite brought something different to the table. Overall, this is a charming spot that combines great wine, surprisingly good food and genuinly quality service. A wonderful place to gather with friends, discover new wines and enjoy a memorable evening.

The setup is fast-casual style, where you order at the bar and then find a seat. The staff was excellent throughout the visit. They were patient, took the time to answer questions, and did a great job explaining the different wine options. They also let us sample a few wines before deciding, which I always appreciate. I ended up ordering the Rosso Veronese. It was dry overall but had a touch more sweetness than I expected, which made it easy to drink given I'm not much of a wine connoisseur. We also benefited from a special on the wine because it had been featured at an event the previous day. The space itself was comfortable and inviting. We grabbed a spot on one of the couches, which gave the evening a more relaxed feel compared to a typical wine bar setup. Pricing is about what you'd expect for a wine-focused spot. It's not inexpensive, but it didn't feel unreasonable either, especially considering the service and atmosphere. Between the knowledgeable staff, the opportunity to sample wines, and the comfortable setting, I'd happily come back and try a few more selections.

We tried a yellowfin tartare which was great. I got the pasta which was very good, and my wife got the salmon. Salmon was fresh and great, but the broccolini side was ridiculously salty. Service was very good, but my wife wanted the tartare as an entrée and our server, who was honestly lovely, suggested it wasn't large enough for an entrée. Problem was, it was a pretty substantial portion and my wife would have appreciated it as a main. I loved getting to share the tuna, but if she'd have just ordered that, and not added the salmon, I think we both would've appreciated the experience more. A very good wine list, with some really nice wines by the glass - You don't see that often enough - and limited, but interesting beer. Ample parking, 90 minutes free.

For the wine I had the Grenache and sparkling rose that was very good!!! My fav two selections. I highly suggest !! The service was really good and pretty fast! We had Yesi as our server and she was very attentive and good personality!! I would like to have her again!! The ambiance is cute and nice surrounded by beautiful plants you can purchase. I will try Cosette again! The parking was expensive in the lot! They only give 90 min free parking after it's a few every hour or min. I had to pay $20, so just FYI.

It's a small place and the decor didn't really feel like it matched the vibe, and the karaoke set-up was not very good. It was really hard to hear the backing music, even when you were the one singing, but this isn't the type of place that you come to "perform" for karaoke like a lot of other places in LA. It's very casual and low-pressure. Song choices were all over the place (which isn't necessarily a good or bad thing). Late night happy hour menu was decent and they offered it from 9pm on that night, and the place did get packed to standing room only. I had a hard time finding info on what their happy hour was before we went, so I took a picture to share. This was on 2/6/2026. The bartender, Brian, was very friendly, but I realized when looking at the emailed receipt afterwards that he switched one of my sibling's drinks on my tab, and I'm assuming mine got put on theirs. We have the same last name, so I understand the mix-up, but it would have been nice if he just asked about who was who instead of assuming, and it also would have been nice to see an itemized receipt before paying instead of just seeing the dollar amount we owed. Not a huge deal this time, just something that I hope they will keep in mind in the future. For food, my partner was able to get a pizza from a place across the street and bring it back into the bar, and Brian was kind enough to offer extra napkins. For other people with back problems, be aware that their bar stools do have back rests on them, but no cushions. We had a good time, and this bar seems to host special events regularly, which we may go back for eventually if the right one comes up, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go back here.

A restaurant, a wine and beverage bar and an experience located in the heart of Sherman Oaks. Ocado can be found on Venture Blvd between Van Nuys Blvd and Cedros Ave. Street parking is ideal (metered) though there are several lots in the area. And while things have changed hands, the atmosphere, energy and vibrance remains the same if not even more so, bring it's fusion of culture as well as flavors to any and all. Open from 11:30AM til 9PM daily with brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 11:30AM to 2:30PM. Reservations are back on, but walk-ins won't have to fret much especially for lunch and the earlier part of the day. The menu is massive now with so many options including including my new favorite, their Asian Chickun Salad, Breakfast Crunchwrap, Chorizo Chilaquiles Verde, Popcorn Chickun, Jalapeño Poppers My friend Mike is obsessed with their German Pretzel. His husband Derrick loves the Mac & 3 Cheese. My partner has been impressed with the Burgers, Wraps and Sandwiches. And most recently our friend Kevin became an instant fan of the Fettuccine Alfredo. 100% plant-based goodness you'll definitely be intrigued and desiring more of. Lots of gluten-free options as well. Ironically enough between my other half, friends and fam who are not vegan or vegetarian this place is a super favorite. And the ones who are veg like myself super love it. Enjoy all sorts of occasions here including birthdays, anniversaries and celebrations. They do offer catering services as well as delivery via third party apps. Great happy hour specials from 3pm to 6pm. Gender neutral restrooms. Free Wi-Fi. Kid friendly menu. Decadent desserts. Including a new menu item, Gooey Center Classic Cinnamon Roll. Good beverage options including wine, coffee, beer, juice, tea, soda, lemonade, etc. Pet friendly patio in front with fans as well as heat laps for the cooler months.

    Oh O'CADO, what a wonderful discovery you were, thanks to my friend Liz on Yelp!…read more As a carnivore, I LOVE all kinds of meats and proteins! With that being said, I am also open to trying new things whenever I can, and occasionally I like to try vegan/vegetarian restaurants. O'CADO was absolutely FANTASTIC! I can't say it enough: FRESH, FRESH, FRESH! Every single item we got (and we got quite a few) was so fresh, scrumptious, delicious, flavorful, and TASTY! Honestly, everything was prepared so well that if I didn't know I wasn't eating real meat, I couldn't tell the difference. THAT'S how good this place is. The portion sizes are also pretty big and appropriate for the price. We actually took advantage of their Happy Hour Menu so we could sample more things. We walked in with my son yesterday, 9/2, around 3:30pm after parking at a nearby meter since there's no parking. As we walked in, we were greeted by Jose and his kind smile/friendly vibe. He got us situated at one of their patio tables and gave us some time to look at the menu. Once we got our thoughts together, he took our order and checked on us at least three times. Will, later came to take away the dirty dishes, glasses, utensils and napkins. He was also very helpful with a nice smile. We had water for the table but I decided to try their Sangria, which was very good. My son tried the Strawberry Margarita and said it was delicious. For appetizers, we got the Balsamic Brussels Sprouts, Avocado Toast, and Buffalo Cauliflower. Every single item was just OUTSTANDING! The Brussels sprouts were nicely charred but not overcooked. The balsamic brought a nice sweetness to them. The cauliflower was fried to perfection and stayed crispy through the whole meal. The avocado toast was also great and had a nice contrast of textures on it. Great start to the meal! For entrées, we got the Carne Asada Tacos (side order of House Slaw), Grilled "Chicken" Caesar Wrap (side order of Chili Cheese Fries) and the Thai Peanut Crunch Bowl. Again, every item was beyond delicious and FRESH. We kept saying "wow" with every bite because we were enjoying it that much! We also couldn't believe how much it tasted like real meat in the tacos. So juicy, flavorful, and again...FRESH! They had a few dessert options, but we were too full. The place was spotless clean and had a few other people dining there. They also do to-go orders and third party apps. One gender neutral bathroom, which we didn't need to use. I highly recommend trying this place, especially if you are a skeptical meat-eater. You should give it a chance and allow your palate/taste buds to explore. You might be surprised by how much you like it. Thank you Jose for great service and the O'CADO team for such a lovely lunch! 20/10!!

Love the vibe of the restaurant very clean aesthetic. If you're concerned about parking, it is Ventura Boulevard so either grab street parking if you're lucky or save yourself the headache and go straight from valet. I would definitely come here again.
