This cafe is quite spacious with a lot of seating outdoors with covered and uncovered seating. The staff were super nice and friendly and welcoming. They were able to offer their fan faves and personal faves of menu items and provide great recommendations. One of their executive staff Karina was there to greet us and welcome us and offer the amazing suggestion of trying their waffles. I ordered the Dialog detox smoothie with kale, spirulina, hemp milk , banana and pineapple. It was the perfect balance of sweet and earthy and it was a great pick. The star of the show was their waffles with strawberry butter. Their strawberry butter is made with colostrum and made in house. It was so creamy, sweet and delicious! The waffles was fluffy and soft and the right amount of crisp. The waffles and butter just melts in your mouth. I had a great experience and will definitely return whenever im in the area. I highly recommend yall to stop by!

Our server Hector was super sweet, made sure we had our order correct, and checked in to ensure our experience was memorable The ambiance is inviting, fresh, and very up beat! We got to meet the owner Todd who introduced himself. I admire when owners interact with their customers, it truly shows their love for what they do! Now for the food! WOW! The burger was absolutely incredible. Hands down the best burger I have had at a restaurant in a LONG TIME. It was juicy, tender, flavorful, the cheese was melted beautifully, & the onion sauce that was on the burger was so tasty. It was the perfect combo that melts in your mouth The bun to meat ratio was perfect. Every bite had meat, cheese, and bun. The fries cooked in beef tallow were fantastic! Beautifully crispy and flavorful! The yuzu lemonade tasted fresh and tangy. Not too sweet and not too bitter! Overall such a memorable experience! I will definitely be coming back to check out their breakfast!

Plenty of…read moreseating with two indoor spaces separated by outdoor seating (including a covered space in the back with larger tables for bigger parties). Ambiance feels like a busy small community cafe on one of the Greek islands. They seem always busy. About 90% of the tables were occupied on a Monday morning at 1030 AM. Wasn't expecting it but after trying some of the dishes I can certainly see why this place is a local favorite. Also lots of free parking in the back which takes a load of stress off for an OC girl like myself. Here's what we tried: 1. Homestyle Cornbread: this is incredible. Cornbread made to order in a skillet with actual corn on Cobb on top to give it the upmost appeal. Served with cultured butter on the side which was fantastic. Worth coming back just for this. 2. Thai Tuna and Avocado Tartare: also phenomenal shared plate. Very generous amount of tuna/cucumber/purple onion tartare on a bed of sliced avocado and lime juice. All dressed in a coconut milk vinaigrette (KEY ingredient). Sooooo incredible, please order. My favorite dish here. 3. Empanadas: option for breakfast empanadas or others (beef, spinach). Went for the breakfast empanadas which had, I believe, sausage and cheese filling. Wasn't much flavor with Not much filling and more of the crust. Personally would pass on this one or try a different one. Two per order. 4. Butcher's burger with side salad: very rich and juicy Wagyu/Angus beef patty with onion jam (not too sweet), herb aioli, lettuce, and pickles in a brioche bun. Pretty good but the other two above stole the light. 5. Color burst latte: your usual latte but with a burst of rainbow art which just gives its unique personality. Would order at least one for the table. Fun to try 6. Matcha lemonade: interesting flavor. Get the matcha kick with a citrus twist. Overall great place for hang out with friends. Casual vibe with cocktails and great food. See myself coming here more often especially with convenient parking.

Good food, fairly high prices, but that's typical these days…read more The layout is open air, so best to go when the weather is nice. The menu is diverse and presentation is just fine. Service wasn't amazing, but good enough. The bad news that keeps them from getting a 4 or 5 star review is the noise level. The owners seem to think this is a nightclub. But it's also a "thing" where restaurants can get customers to leave sooner when the music is loud. This was my 3rd visit to Great White and we really couldn't hear each other. A group next to use asked to lower the music, but if the staff did it, we couldn't tell. So this is NOT a great place for a meeting and honestly, there's food around that's great without having to shout to friends and family. They seem to do solid business, so I doubt much attention will be paid to this review.

I enjoyed one more happy hour and one more early dinner before they closed for good…read more During the HH, I had the truffle french fries and the pepperoni pizza. Fries were good this time, but I would go without the pizza in the future. On their final opening night I arrived too early; forgetting that dinner didn't start for an hour so I had the fries (again) while waiting for dinner. Thankfully, the order was put in a little earlier and I was able to enjoy the Penne alla Vodka. I was on the fence about the 20-Layer Cake but I ended up caving in, getting it to go for later. Unlike the first time I got this, they now had a perfect, custom box for the slice to fit whereas before they had to cut the cake in half to fit it into the box they had at the time. I know the New York location has delivery/to-go only, but there is still the Las Vegas one. Sad to see this place close down, as the location seems to be a curse for so many places (Hamburger Hamlet, Rivabella, Roku, now Lavo...).

During my foodie relatives' Thanksgiving week visit to Honolulu, we were discussing making…read morerestaurant reservations for our upcoming Christmas/New Year visit to Los Angeles. However, after we raved about our multiple dining experiences at LAVO Las Vegas, we were surprised to learn that none of our relatives had ever dined at the restaurant's Los Angeles location. So, when the opportunity arose, I made an after-Christmas dinner reservation through OpenTable and excitedly waited. We knew exactly where LAVO Los Angeles was located, as we had frequently driven past the Sunset Medical Tower on Sunset Boulevard and had eaten at the same restaurant space before it changed hands several times over the past decade or so. They offer valet service, which only accepts credit card payments, and because of the restaurant's location, you might as well use the service, because you'd be hard-pressed to find street parking. Our group of six arrived at the restaurant about 30 minutes before our reservation and were greeted by a friendly hostess who asked whether we were ready to be seated or preferred to wait in the bar. We chose to be seated, and she escorted us into the quiet, warm, yet festively decorated dining room. The busser approached us, took our water service request, and informed us about who our server would be. Our server, Addison, came to our table while the busser refilled our water glasses and offered assorted citrus slices to flavor them. After my brother-in-law showed Addison the magnum of wine he brought and asked if the sommelier could uncork the bottle, since it was not only a 2006 vintage but also had a long, possibly fragile cork, even though they kept the bottle in their personal wine storage. Unfortunately, they didn't have a sommelier on duty, and Addison informed us of the restaurant's impending end-of-year closure and confidently said she could uncork it with her trusty corkscrew. However, my brother-in-law decided to give it the "ol' college try" and successfully uncorked the bottle. FOOD: -Fritto Misto: a platter of lightly battered and fried zucchini, shrimp, calamari, and vinegary peppers with marinara was delivered to our table and was quickly shared and devoured. Everyone felt the fritto misto was light, delicious, and perfectly cooked. $28 -The Meatball: We've often seen this appetizer ordered at the Las Vegas site, but we never ordered it because we felt it was too much food to share between us. However, now that we had our family surrounding us, we ordered it. The 16-oz meatball is made with fresh-ground imperial Wagyu, Italian sausage, and veal. It is served with whipped ricotta and marinara. We shared the tender, toothsome meatball among us and sopped up the sauce with garlic bread. $34 -Semolina Sesame Garlic Bread: Addison highly recommended this garlic bread to pair with The Meatball and sipping on our Cabernet blend wine. The lightly grilled-toasted loaf was served with three dipping sauces (marinara, basil pesto, & Gorgonzola dolce). $18 -Zitoni Genovese: braised short rib, sweet onions, pecorino Romano. I received a generous portion of Neapolitan or Sicilian zitoni pasta (larger ziti tubes) and an intensely flavorful, tomato-wine-based, fall-apart tender, slow-braised short ribs ragù. This comfort-food pasta dish was so rich and filling that I could barely eat half the portion and ended up bringing home leftovers. $33 -Faroe Island Salmon Oreganato: My husband cut into the salmon filet, which had a light crisp coating of breadcrumbs and revealed the fillet's tender medium-rare doneness. The rich, buttery-tasting salmon filet sat atop a melange of sautéed vegetables and was dressed with a lemon, white wine, and garlic butter sauce. My husband jokingly said he could feel his heart health improving with each bite. $39 The rest of my family ordered their own entrees, and when we were nearly finished with our meals, we decided to share a dessert. We ordered the luscious 20 Layer Chocolate Cake ($29), and each of us commented on the "decadence" of chocolate, peanut butter, and mascarpone. During our dining experience, Addison informed us that LAVO Los Angeles would sadly be closing at the end of the year. We were happy to have supported this restaurant, and it was great to see so many others show their support during the Holidays.

It's a nice spot, sweeping views of LA with both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a bar, good brunch menu and apparently a brunch buffet on Sundays. Pros: great wait staff, very accommodating and eager to help. The food is pretty good and the cappuccinos are amazing! Clean, good vibes and very chill. Cons: limited menu, limited wine list and it's a members only spot. For being members only exclusive dues I expected a bit more upscale food and bevvys. If I had to pay for the membership this would not be my spot, it doesn't live up to the price. It's nice enough but it's not that different than visiting a nice restaurant. I'd go again if I was invited but you won't find me dishing out to become a member here. Show me something more than views of LA in a "nice setting." Give me something standout for the $4k!

The pork chops were delicious and packed with flavor, but the spinach underneath was a bit too bitter for my taste. The mashed potatoes were creamy, soft, and comforting. We also loved the Brussels sprouts and Caesar salad -- both were super solid sides. Drinks were perfect and balanced out the dishes really well. Service and atmosphere were great too. Would definitely come back to try more items on the menu next time we are in the area.

We ordered the Wagyu burger, egg white turkey omelette with potatoes, & a side of bagels. The food was decent but very bland--nothing stood out, & we had to add salt for flavor to everything. Portions were small, with barely any avocado or pico, and not very filling. The bagels were good, but they gave very little cream cheese and even charged extra for more, which bad barely enough for one side of a beagle. Service was a bit disappointing. Our server was nice but It wasn't busy, yet our server rarely checked on us--we had to refill our own water & go get the pitcher. They also don't clearly mention when choosing sides it cost extra, which can add up quickly but a heads up would have been appreciated. Overall, we paid about $65 for two & left underwhelmed. It's fine for a casual hangout, but not somewhere I'd go to be impressed. I will say on a positive note, the baked goods, specifically the soft chocolate chip cookies, tasted very fresh! Other than that though we were quite a bit disappointed.

There's a fridge full of various fresh cheeses and another fridge with ready to bake breads and pastries that you can take home to bake yourself. Lots of variety snacks throughout the store; often ones that you do not find at regular grocery stores. For example, they have dang Thai Rice chips, which are bomb good. I used to only be able to find these on Thrive market, so it's good to see a local place sell them. Staff were all friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have. Interesting note is that they have various checkout counters throughout the store; it doesn't matter which counter you pay at. From the deli, I have tried... 1. Kale Salad with Spicy Peanuts & Queso Fresco It's technically supposed to be a healthy dish, but the sauce was too sweet for my liking. I think the sweetness is from the honey & the dried cranberries in it. Otherwise, the kale was fresh and spicy peanuts added a little bit of kick 2. Tarragon Chicken Salad The chicken was on the drier side, but the sour cream sauce was light and creamy - could use more herbs for flavoring though. I'll come back again for when I need a quick grub!

First let me say that the place is comfortable, with a little patio out front. I liked the art and decorations where they used repurposed items. I ordered two sandwiches (Fried chicken and the Short Rib). Both were good, but both my wife and I did not like the focaccia bread that it was served on. It was too thick and seemed to overpower the sandwiches. We also shared the simple salad, which true to its name was simple. It was just lettuce, and exactly one piece of shaved red onion. It could have used more onion. The other items on the menu look good, so I'm not opposed to trying the restaurant again.
