We had a table of 4 on a Wednesday night, July 15 with a 7:00 pm reservation. We arrived a few…read moreminutes late, but no problem as they weren't crowded. Sat on the back patio. It was warm outside, but a small fan provided a little relief - I would add a few more of those fans for cooling and to keep the flying insects at bay. But, the atmosphere was comfortable. Service was good, not amazingly fast but appropriate for a leisurely dinner where we weren't in a hurry. The server was friendly and attentive. The food was really good. I had the shrimp and grits. It had too much "broth" or liquid, but otherwise way better than I expected for a restaurant located in Los Angeles. I ate every bit of it. One member of our party is vegetarian (pescatarian?), and she liked her dish. The other two were very happy with theirs, also. Sorry that I don't remember what they ate as I am writing this 3 days after our visit. Suffice it to say that we had 4 different entrees and all were excellent. The interior of the restaurant looked really interesting. Not your typical chain restaurant. Made me want to linger to check it out as we walked through from the patio. Overall, we had a really great experience!

When Little Beast first opened in 2013, I lived within walking distance but never had the…read moreopportunity to go. It's changed hands since then; however, new owners Chef Monique & Chef Paul have stuck to the original focus. (They also own Cindy's across the street.) The restaurant is a charming 1911 Craftsman bungalow. Inside emits a cozy vibe & warm ambience - just as if you were in someone's home. It's also a great date night spot if you're looking for someplace romantic. Menu offerings feature New American comfort food. Dishes change seasonally, as do the creative craft cocktails but the popular Little Beast Burger is a staple. Al fresco dining is available in the enchanting back patio, and there's a cute little parlor to chill in while waiting for your table. (Reservations are highly recommended.) I passed by enroute to another engagement and saw a parking spot, so I decided to stop in for a quick drink. The darling hostess asked if I had a reservation. I told her I didn't but was hoping to have a drink at the bar. The bar is tiny and can accommodate about 6 people. Krista the bartender/beverage director was fantastic. She was personable & friendly and we had a nice conversation during my visit. I ordered the Passion Fruit Margarita made with house infused passion fruit tequila. It was delicious & nicely balanced. I enjoyed my cocktail & visit here. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back for the full dining experience. *$35 corkage fee. Limit 2 bottles. *Street parking - read signs. *Live music Wednesdays 7 - 9 pm back patio.

Already I'll be back again for a 3rd visit sometime soon. The staff were so friendly. Everyone who we interacted with, from the hostess to our waiter, were all just very friendly and it made us feel extremely welcomed into their restaurant. As for the food, everything was amazing. Probably can't go wrong with anything you order here. So far in my two visits to Yicha I've tried the following: 1. Bossam - ordered this both visits... truly amazing. First time having Bossam and it changed my life lol. The pork was cooked so perfectly.) 2. Bulgogi Burgers - wow. So good. The patty was juicy. The aoli was so tasty. Very filling. 3. Chicken Wings - also super good. Loved the "K-Ranch" sauce! The sauce was so good I even used it with the Bossam haha. 4. K-Town Nachos - I've never had nachos like this before! The crispy rice cakes were a unique take but really enjoying take on nachos. 5. Kongguksul - It's not something I would normally order as I'm not usually a fan of cold noodles, but since I was with a group and we ate family style it ended up on our list and I actually really liked it! First time I've enjoyed cold noodles. 6. Fuji Apple Eggrolls - Amazing. Never had any type of an egg roll dessert before. It was extremely flavorful and a great way to end our dinner.

The biscuits are perfection and will haunt your dreams. The crudo and burger also stood out. Was dining with some family who were visiting and dinner at Cannonball was their favorite meal of the trip. We were on the back patio for dinner, I enjoyed the metro trains passing, but it is probably not everyone's cup of tea. The ambience inside the restaurant when I got drinks at the bar was very nice. Service attentive and personable on both visits.

I was bummed when the restaurant that WAS in this space closed. I am VERY happy this spot took the…read morespace and has brought a fantastic menu and flavor back to the space. I was pleasantly surprised at the welcoming staff and warm ambiance. Going to slide one complaint in here, the noise level in the upstairs portion of the restaurant is LOUD. We sat upstairs and it was pretty difficult to hear my friends talk from just across the table. We powered through, and by the second half of our meal, most diners had finished and left us upstairs with only a couple of lingering parties. THEN this place became GREAT! Here's all that we stuffed ourselves with during the cacophony of chatter: flaky buttermilk biscuits, honey butter (3pc; please allow 20 minutes) - totally worth the 20 mins!! Super buttery and flaky, I might go back JUST FOR THIS! crispy calamari, horseradish cocktail sauce - great little kick in the sauce. Perfectly lightly battered. fideos, clams, chorizo, saffron, sweet sherry aïoli - mmmm, this was delicious. The Spanish chorizo enhanced the broth with a good saltiness. white shrimp from the griddle, aïoli - this was my favorite. The shrimp was not overcooked and peeled easily. The flavor was good enough to slurp the juices out. single burger, prime chuck, tillamook cheddar, dijonaise, egg brioche bun & crispy french fries - good meaty burger, love the dijonaise, GREAT shoestring fries. Parking is a little challenging during the day, not so bad in the evening. It's South Pas, a little neighborhood walk after dinner never hurts.

I can definitely understand why reservations for this place is needed so far out in advanced. The…read morefood, the location, the venue, everything is absolutely wonderful. From the moment you step in, the hostess and the staff take care of you from start to finish. They have amazing recommendations and you cannot go wrong with any of the options they provide. I had the Baby Albacore and Hokkaido Scallop as appetizers and they were delish. I leaned a bit more towards the Albacore over the scallop, but both great. I also had the Sour Milk Cornbread which was magical and tasted like a cross between cornbread meets bundt cake. The flavor was perfect and was one of the best cornbread I have ever had. The pork chop was immaculate. I have yet to taste a pork chop that was so perfectly cooked from the moistness and the flavor. For dessert, the cobbler was ordered and goodness gracious it was absolutely amazing. If you come here, have all the courses, do not miss any course what so ever.

I had a reservation for Dunsmoor like two months ago, but something came up and I wound up…read morecancelling (in hindsight--dang it I woulda ate here twice!). Made another and was not even remotely disappointed. This was one of my recent favorite meals by far and dunno if I was just starving or what cause it was all hits and no misses. Our server was very sweet and friendly, as were most of the staff here. The inside is cozy, casual, and comfortable with lots of wood and plants. We ordered SO much food, mainly to try more things, and also because my eyes are perpetually bigger than my stomach. That's fine though! Even the leftovers were delicious as heck. - Cornbread--absolutely smothered in butter and honey, crispy on the outside and very moist on the inside with great jalapeño flavor. Saw some lady on social media say this was gross and dry... surely that was rage bait? - Bread--got both the jam and butter which were both amazing as it came with two types of warm bread that was perfectly crusty and soft. However, given the amount of butter overall in this meal, it wouldn't be a loss to skip. - Peaches--came with farmer's cheese, which is like a creamy, drier version of cottage cheese, that paired really well with the sweet juicy peaches, basil, and fresh lemon dressing. Summer on a plate. - Carolina gold rice--never had this dish before, it's like shrimp n grits met porridge, rich snd hearty with plenty of shrimp flavor from the shrimp butter. - Mushroom-crusted pork chop--easily usurped my previous favorite pork chop from Chez Maggy in Denver, and is now my favorite pork chop :) - Ribeye with bone marrow--also one of the best steaks from a restaurant we've had. My husband's gotten to the point where he doesn't like ordering steaks (usually I'm the offender) because they're usually not very good even from "steakhouses", but this ribeye was great. Perfect crust, perfect med-rare cook, lots of flavor, tender and delicious. Bonus was the bone marrow I saved half of for my spoiled dog. - Sticky date pudding--I think I confused this with a sticky toffee pudding although it's very similar and equally tasty as heck. Don't skip this! Typically I have to be borderline blackmailed into eating all my leftovers but there was no arm-twisting for Dunsmoor's. Street parking unless you valet. There's a line by opening for walk-ins, and apparently a separate line for reservations on the other side of the door.

Still have never actually eaten here... but I've been here enough to talk about it…read more First off, this place is BIG. Like actually big. Good for birthdays, group hangs, events, all that. You're not cramped in here fighting for space. Game-wise... don't come here expecting anything crazy. There's nothing super serious for hardcore gamers, no rare cabinets or anything you're gonna geek out over. It's more like solid, familiar stuff. That said, it does work really well as a date spot because there's a lot of co-op games, so you're not just standing there awkwardly -- you actually have something to do. Now the food... I still haven't gone deep into it, but the wing deal is actually a good deal for these times, which is rare. That alone makes it worth pulling up on a Tuesday. Menu is kinda big though, and anytime I see a big menu like that I start side-eyeing the kitchen a little bit... like yeah some of this gotta be frozen But overall? It's a good spot for wings and beer without spending Ye Rustic money. If you're trying to keep it chill and not blow your wallet, this is a solid move. Not a gamer spot, not a foodie spot... just a good hang.

Hermon's is definitely one of the trendiest spots in LA right now. My boyfriend somehow managed to…read moreget us a same-day reservation on a Friday night, which was honestly shocking because I had been checking their website for weeks and never saw anything available. They offer valet, but if you don't mind a short walk, you can usually find street parking in the surrounding residential neighborhood. The drinks were delicious and definitely on the stronger side, which was a plus. The food, though, was just okay. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. The burger had a lot of potential, but it came with a pretty heavy amount of horseradish, and they don't allow substitutions, which unfortunately overpowered everything else. Overall, I'd say it's worth checking out once, especially if you want to see what the hype is about, but I don't see myself rushing back just for the food, but vibes were 10/10.

It's really out of the way for us, but we decided to make the drive out there for dinner on Tues. 7/21. Walked in at 5:30pm without a reservation, and the lovely hostess told us it would be about an hour wait for the bar. Didn't catch her name, but she was very sweet and pleasant. She told us we were welcome to order drinks and have them brought out to the outdoor waiting area, but we didn't get any. The restaurant had opened at 5pm and it was already packed. Soon after us, more people started arriving without reservations and were waiting outside along with us. Around 6:40pm is when the hostess came out to tell us our seats were ready. The place is cozy, beautiful and classy, while still maintaining a casual ambience. It's pretty noisy with the music and chatter all around. The bar is right in the center of the restaurant with a view of the open kitchen. I let my son order for us and he got a variety of options. To start, we got the Scallop Aguachile. It smelled just a bit fishy when we got the plate, but it tasted fine. It was just ok. There wasn't enough acidity in the dish and it was kind of boring. I love scallops, but I wouldn't order it again. Next up were the Fried Coconut Tiger Prawns and an order of their viral Garlic Bread. The prawns were nice and big, but we both thought the coconut taste got lost in the batter. The garlic bread was also decent...nothing to write home about. For our entrees, we got the Two Sheet Vongole and the Cheeseburger. The Vongole was definitely the standout of the whole meal. The pasta, sauce, clams, cheese, parsley, and breadcrumbs were all fantastic. Some lemon zest would've been great in addition the grilled lemon that comes with the dish. We both really enjoyed this dish and it's a good portion to share. The burger on the other hand was unfortunately disappointing. The bun was pretty dry and the "fondue" just disappeared into nothing. It was clearly there on the patty, but tasted like nothing. The whole thing just tasted like well-seasoned ground beef. There were maybe 5-6 strands of caramelized onions on it and the Dijon wasn't spread evenly. I've honestly had better fast food burgers. The dessert menu was not intriguing at all so we decided to pass. Oh, for our drinks, we stayed with our waters and shared a dirty martini, which was delicious. They have 3 individual/private gender-neutral bathroom stalls. Both the bathrooms and the restaurant were super clean. They offer valet parking for $10 or you can park on the street. It wasn't a bad experience, but it wasn't good enough to want to come back. I would have given this place 3 stars, but shout out to our server CHELSEA - she was absolutely OUTSTANDING! Such a great girl and hard worker. She was funny, attentive, personable, and genuine. HANDS DOWN the best part of our experience! She definitely bumped it up to 4 stars.

Happy Hour Only!…read more Prior to dinner in Pasadena, we popped in for some happy hour. At this time there are select days at this location where there is all day happy hour-- I believe Monday- Wednesday. Other weekdays its select hours of happy hour that starts at three. Happy hour consist of select beers, wine, and cocktails. With beer starting at $6.50 and cocktails going up to 13 dollars. Plus, there is a wide range of food items to compliment your drinks. The ambiance at this location is particularly nice. I think this is one of my favorite locations. On the first floor that is a large bar, plus there is a roof top patio and seating on three different floors. Note, happy hour is only served at the first flow bar unfortunately. The service is always great at this location. The bartender was very attentive during our visit. In front of the restaurant there is street parking that gets busy at night. Prior to 6pm, some parking in front is limited to one hour so read the signs carefully. Also, the parking in front is metered so pay the pay the meter. I believe there is parking in the rear that offers a limited free parking time. Cheers!

Today was my second time visiting this place. I walk over…read morehere once a year. It was 12:08 and the place already had about 3 people in it. I was planning to have a few beers again but when I saw the prices and played it safe. Had ONE 16oz beer $9.25 and the final price was $11.56! Obviously added charges ( I did leave a tip so it really cost me $13.56) Seriously it's 12 noon on a Tuesday??? I've traveled to many states and also overseas and have paid this much for a TOURIST location. Highland park is not that kind of place where charging this much for a single beer makes sense. Will I come back? Absolutely not I'm reading lots of reviews and seeing proof of this place up charging customers and now I'm telling you the same this place is not worth your hard earned money. IF this place served 20oz pints my review would not have been so concerning. My advice to this business is lower your prices or more people will be opting out of this place. I was planning to bring my wife sometime but on second thought I don't think it's worth it. I can spend this kind of money at a more upscale bar with a coastal view. There was a man sitting at the very end of the bar with his laptop and he acted like he was on something. Kept getting g up and walking behind the bar to grab canned drinks over and over. He must have been an owner/manager? My man, maybe if you stopped drinking your own supply the beer prices would be lower. Try to taste your food the speed you were eating looked like you were about to have a heart attack. Pros; it's a bar that opens at 12 Cons: ridiculously high beer prices
