I have also had other dishes from the menue that were also great like the salmon, and the ribs! However that meatloaf is a standout and what's truly amazing is that it taste the same every time I go which is an incredible feat! As for the staff and service once again it was impeccable! Shout out to the manager Daniel and Gary my server for another great experience at Nick's. As far as the ambiance goes it is also a great experience no matter where you sit. Me personally like to sit in view of the cooks to watch them work their magic. Thanks again Nick's for another fantastic visit! Please go check them out if you haven't been and trust me when I say you won't be disappointed! Pics on the next visit I promise. Soon as the food hit the table it was a wrap!

Came here to celebrate a good friend's graduation. He picked the restaurant, and I'm so glad he did…read morebecause I probably would have never discovered this place otherwise. Most of us ordered the ribeye sandwich at his recommendation, and my goodness, was it good. Everything about it was perfect. The toasted bread, the cook on the ribeye, the portion size, even the fries that came with it. I think about that sandwich pretty frequently now. Their skinny margaritas were also fantastic. Had a few of those that night, haha. Service was excellent, almost TOO excellent, if that's even a thing. Our server checked on us so frequently that it felt like our conversations kept getting interrupted. But I suppose there are worse problems to have. Great food, great drinks, great service. Will most definitely be back, especially for that sandwich.

The service is always great! They're prompt with seating, quick to take your order, and attentive throughout your meal. I really appreciate when a restaurant provides great service without making you feel rushed. I also love the ambiance! It's such a versatile spot, whether you're meeting someone for a lunch date, hosting a business meeting, or just catching up with friends while watching the game. The atmosphere is welcoming and makes it easy to enjoy yourself, no matter the occasion. I recently took my best friend here for her birthday, and it was her first time visiting. She absolutely loved it, too! Always a great experience, and definitely a place I'll continue coming back to. Highly recommend!

Let me preface this by saying my boyfriend and I love granville. It's our favorite date night…read morerestraunt and we've tried just about every location. Last night though, we were a bit disappointed with service and food. After we were seated and ordered our drinks and appetizers, the waitress let us know that a plentiful of menu items were out of stock. (Pan seared chicken breast, NY steak, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, pork chop, branzino) Also, my boyfriend wanted Mezcal in his espresso martini instead of vodka and it was a $7 up charge which she failed to mention, (didn't realize until the bill had came) had we have known it was that price we would've opted for the normal concoction. Coming from someone who works in the restraunt industry as a general manager, It would've been greatly appreciated to have known nearly all of the entree items were out prior to being seated or at most ordering anything. We didn't want to just up and leave after we had already been seated and ordered appetizers/drinks. As we were ordering our limited entrees, we had placed an side of the mac and cheese and after she had rang it she had to come back to let us know they just ran out of that as well. It's disappointing because this was our first date night out after a few months and we really had to save up and wanted to make this special and didn't feel as if we got our moneys worth out of this one...everything took a left turn.

Went to a wedding ceremony and reception at Descanso Gardens yesterday. The wedding reception…read moredinner was held at their restaurant, Farmhouse, for 35 persons. Absolutely fabulous! Wish I had thought to take more pictures starting from the start. The Started with a cocktail hour outside the bar area, including excellent plates of gourmet crudités with an especially delicious hummus (we wondered about the mystery flavor!) and ranch dressing, and separate plates of spicy salami, meltingly ripe brillat savarin cheese with grilled country bread amongst other delights such as marcona almonds, raisins, and dried apricot. Following the cocktail hour, we went in to a different outside area, which had been set up with a large U-shaped table of wood. It was rustic, but lovely.. I have taken a picture of the menu so you can see what we had. Every single item served was made with such care and intention to bring out the very best in the vegetables as well as the proteins. How could a simple green salad be so delicious? Every little tiny tomato screamed sweetness, and the dressing was sublime. Individual egetables were served with accompanying side sauces, and everybody was raving about how great they tasted. Who would've thought a simple carrot could be so great? Or a simple wedge of sweet potato with a papaya mustard sauce? Salmon cooked to perfection served on little French lentils with a dollop of butter sauce.. The best of all to me was the steak with mushrooms and a Demi- glacé sauce on the side. Wow, was that delicious! The presentation of the desserts was another high point! I was so full by that point, but of course we ate them anyway. See pictures. Whoever the chef is here, they are a person of meticulous artistry offering down-to-earth deliciousness. Free parking is always appreciated, too. I recommend this location highly for wedding receptions. The staff could not have been more accommodating and friendly, too.

We made dinner reservations for 6:15pm since we bought tickets for Carved. We didn't end our meal…read moreuntil about 7:45pm, so if you're in a rush, I would grab something at the market instead. It was perfect, because when we were done, the sun had set and it was a lot cooler outside. Everything we ate really was farm-to-table. My family and I enjoyed it all. But it's a little on the pricy side, for a family of 5 with drinks & dessert, it was approx $300. We also ordered the jidori chicken breast and two kids meals that are not pictured (cheese pizza, chicken tenders, and steamed vegetables)

My hubby got the jalapeño burger. It was so good! Bacon was crispy, and jalapeños were spicy enough. Oooh, and the fire fries were a chef's kiss as well. 100/10 recommend both items. I got the chicken Asian wrap and it was so refreshing and filling. I cannot wait to go back and try the chip churri wrap & milkshake Thank you Chuy for making our experience great, from beginning to end! You made us want to return in the future.

Whoa time flies! 9 years later and we're back!…read more I tried the short rib grilled cheese and my husband ordered the havarti shroom burger with fries and a cookies & cream shake. The grilled cheese satisfied my craving, it was more than what I wanted! I just wish they had other chocolate options besides the cookies & cream shake. My husband gobbled down his burger very quickly so it's safe to say it was also delicious. Nylah brought out our food and was super sweet and attentive to whatever we needed! She has the most welcoming smile which made my day even better. If I could bring thid location closer to us in Monrovia, I totally would. It's always a great experience coming here!!

Made a reservation online using open table. It was very simple and easy to navigate. Called the…read morerestaurant on the day of the reservation stating we were running 15 min behind and that our number has decreased by 2. Not an issue, got thanked for the update. It wasnt that busy at the time of our arrival. There were a lot of tables and the noise level was quiet. The host was nice and sat us not too long after we arrived. The table that we got sat at was extremely wobbly. My father-in-law noticed another table had napkins placed underneath to stabilize so he did the same to our table and it worked. Tara took our order and brought out the drinks. The food was 90% great! The 10% that fell short was a combination of things. 1) menu online and the physical menu said corn bread (which we were told no longer serves them). If its no longer available, update the menu because we were excited to try the corn bread. 2) a bbq place with no wet naps, that is really weird. However, they did bring me a stack of paper towels that were wet as if they were wet naps. 3) only 1 steak knife was provided in the platters. It was hard for a party of 6 to cut up meat with only 1 steak knife. 4) one of the sides came out cold, and hard. I bit into a macaroni and it felt raw because of how hard it was! I even dropped the macaroni on the plate and it rang! We brought it to the servers attention and we were able to get a fresh one free of charge. We loved the short ribs and the tomahawk steak! They were delicious. Baked potato as a side item was very large! During the whole time we were eating, no one came by to check on us, refills were not provided until after we were done eating. We never got one of the drinks that Tara wrote down and it showed up on the check. I was trying to get a staff members attention, and my hand was raised up, and there were hosts that saw my hand raised, but did nothing. There were other servers and runners that saw it too. Took a while for us to get any help. We eventually flagged down our server after what felt like 5 minutes. We brought the charge to our servers attention, and they corrected that too. Overall, the table service could have been a lot better, fix broken tables, and I suggest you bring your own wet naps or baby wipes because they dont supply any.

I can't believe I haven't written a review yet. This is bar none my favorite restaurant in Los…read moreAngeles. Chef Daniel is a savant, Steph and staff are always on point with the service. When people ask me about the food, I always say that it's like you're walking into a 5-star chef's home, and he's making you whatever he thinks is good. You're getting a meal made with love, and the ingredients, seasonings, and careful care in preparation are proof of that. The vibes are homely. If you treat everyone with the same respect as if you were in their home, you'll feel right at home, with some of the best eating you'll experience in Los Angeles.

Holy Saints is the kind of restaurant where you look at some of the combinations on the menu and…read morewonder how they're going to work together; then you try it, and it all makes sense. QUICK TAKE Get: Fish of the Day, Lamb, Moroccan-style Mushrooms Skip: Duck was our one miss Know: This is a good place for adventurous eaters who like sharing dishes and trying unexpected flavor combinations. Holy Saints does a nice job of making food feel creative without crossing over into "trying too hard." There are a lot of different influences running through the menu, and several dishes had us talking about the flavors and ingredients as much as the food itself. What we tried: Moroccan-style Mushrooms - A great example of what Holy Saints does well. Earthy, savory mushrooms with contrasting textures from the nuts, thinly sliced radish, herbs and crispy elements on top. There was a lot happening on the plate, but it all worked together. Definitely one to share. Fish of the Day - One of the highlights of the meal and something I would absolutely order again. The fish came over rice in a deeply flavored sauce with peppers, herbs and fresh vegetables. Colorful, comforting and much more interesting than the standard fish-and-vegetables preparation you see at a lot of restaurants. Lamb - Another winner. Rich, hearty and well seasoned, with the sauce pulling everything together. If you're visiting for the first time and like lamb, this would be high on my list. Duck - Good flavor, but it seemed like the duck sauce could have benefited from a little more time to rest before being sliced and served. We joked that we should have brought a bag, taken it home and eaten it as leftovers instead. Sometimes duck might just need a night to think about what it did. What I liked most about Holy Saints is that the food wasn't boring. The kitchen takes familiar ingredients and puts them together in ways you probably wouldn't think of yourself, which makes it a fun restaurant for ordering several things and sharing around the table.

We came for their weekend brunch and had the house burger with runny egg ($2 extra) and their Basic…read morebreakfast. The burger comes with a thick patty but it was overcooked. We asked for medium but it was dry and completely gray inside. I had higher hopes for this one. The Basic breakfast plate was your typical eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast combo. It was good but the best item was the sourdough toast! Crunchy on the outside and soft/chewy on the inside. We also got a side of the Belgian fries which was good too. Loved the decor. There's indoor and patio seating along with a cozy bar area. Servers were great and checked in on us frequently throughout our meal. There's paid street parking on Lake Avenue but I recommend parking for free at the Macy's and Erewhon parking structure across the street.

Loved our brunch here at Magnolia House, just wish they had a high chair!…read more We came here to celebrate a birthday and it was my first time dining here. I love how cute the interior design of this restaurant is - it felt cozy and the chairs are so comfortable it makes you feel right at home. There were some tables for traditional style dining, and there were some couches for light bites. We sat inside the restaurant right by the street, perfect for a people watching lover like me. Since we had our toddler with us, we asked for a high chair but they said they didn't have any, which was quite disappointing for a restaurant like this. Luckily our table had a loveseat type couch, so we were able to squeeze our toddler in between us during the meal. We were here for the weekend brunch and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the price of the menu items! For a restaurant on Lake, I was expecting more. I got the crab cakes benedict ($20) and it was just perfect - not too salty, and the portions were just right. Overall, great experience here, easy to find parking in the lots behind the restaurant, just wish they had high chairs to accommodate families.
