Harriet and her staff were simply amazing and easy to work with. All my questions were answered in a timely manner. The venue was spotless. Food was excellent. Floor manager was respectful and willing to assist with any questions. Overall, I give it a 10 out of 10. The parking lot is secure and easy. The indoor/outdoor space is perfect! Highly recommend and pricing is reasonable. If you are looking for a venue in the Valley- I recommend Encino Banquet & Garden!!!

I've been to plenty of great parties and events and you can't hear loud, thumping music 8 blocks away.

Karina was amazing to work with throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, she was responsive, organized, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went smoothly and how we wanted it to.

The food was delicious, the space was set up perfectly and everything ran seamlessly thanks to the staff. If you're looking for a stunning venue with exceptional service for any type of celebration, I can't recommend Verdi Garden enough.

The El Caballero CC is not only elegant, but the staff and service are really remarkable. Not stuffy, like other private clubs. I arrived a bit early and was greeted as if I was a member and an old friend. I sat in the lobby and was served up an ice tea and the LA Times. Lunch featured a host of salads and entrees. Our servers were lovely and I just soaked up the "sporting life" of the El Caballero. I hope I get invited there again!

We had our baby shower at Sunset in the 5th, and we couldn't have been happier with our experience!…read moreFrom start to finish, the process was so easy and stress-free. Pam was absolutely wonderful to work with--she was helpful, accommodating, and made the entire planning process feel seamless. One of the things I loved most about the venue was that decorations were provided, which made planning so much easier. It took a lot of the stress out of having to coordinate and purchase everything ourselves, while still allowing us to create a beautiful and memorable celebration. The venue itself was perfect for our baby shower, and our guests had such a great time. If you're looking for a beautiful space that makes hosting an event easy and convenient, I definitely recommend Sunset in the 5th. Thank you to Pam and the entire team for helping make our baby shower so special!

Centerpieces, runners and the arches are already provided with the venue. Chafers, serving utensils, a fridge to keep drinks/food cool and 3 coolers also come with your venue rental. I took advantage of their dessert cart and I love that cake stands and acrylic stands were all available for use so all I had to do was arrange my desserts. Cake cutting utensils were also provided. The owner, Pam, was super nice and very accommodating. She definitely goes above and beyond to help you have a beautiful and stress free event! Also was easy to get ahold of, easy to communicate with. Venue also comes with a free and large parking lot in the back. Air conditioning was perfect especially here in the Valley, where it can get quite hot! Overall, I cannot recommend this venue enough. A lot of our guests complimented the beautiful space. We will definitely be back for future events!

Around the place before a venue. They could even just plant mosquito plants to ward off the pests. The atmosphere is pleasant and the decor has an oriental ambiance with the koi pond and lighting. For the venue I attended the food was great and the table settings were elegant. Overall, a terrific place to book your event provided they do something about the mosquitoes.

I suggested Casaléna for lunch because I'd never been and had been curious about it for a while…read more Walking into the garden patio, I immediately understood why the setting gets so much attention. We sat outside surrounded by greenery, large umbrellas, and plenty of natural light. Even with a full patio, it still felt comfortable for a long lunch and conversation. I ordered the Pan Seared Salmon with a pistachio and coconut crust, roasted carrots, and cumin vinaigrette. The salmon was cooked beautifully, and I loved the texture from the crust. The roasted carrots added a little sweetness without competing with the fish. My friend had a salad topped with grilled chicken, and we shared an order of fries. I also had one of their cocktails, which arrived with an orchid garnish and felt perfect for an afternoon on the patio. Service was attentive throughout lunch, and we never felt hurried even as the patio stayed busy. Casaléna also offers valet, which I appreciated given the Ventura Boulevard location. I'm glad I finally checked it out. I loved it enough that I ended up coming back for dinner for a birthday celebration, which probably says more than anything else I could add.

The only issue I experienced was with the parking service. Getting my car back took much longer than expected, and the interaction with some of the valet staff felt unfriendly and disorganized.

How many hundreds of times have I driven by the Tarzana Community & Cultural Center? It has been…read moremany years, way back to the time there was a pottery store on the property. I finally had a chance to visit for a Tarzana Music Night last week. What a fun event! Because the weather was being forecasted to be cool with the potential of rain, the event was held indoors. Things were comfortable, but we were in close quarters with the other attendees. The sound was great and the performances were a lot of fun. I was primarily there to see a good friend perform, but I also had the chance to see some other talented musicians. I think each one was a singer songwriter, and I enjoyed each performance. Each one of the people that was working at the venue, which I imagine may have been on a volunteer basis, was friendly and a lot of fun. Normally the music nights are held outdoors, and I can imagine that most of the year, it is a lot of fun being in the open air.

What a cool place I never knew was here! Check out their events on their website! If you write them…read morethey will write you back too. They have a small outdoor stage with string lights hanging beautifully all around, a few picnic tables and fold out chairs for when there's an event to watch. When the chairs aren't there I imagine thats what they use for the outdoor dance floor under the stars, too! A few people brought their dogs on leash. I saw a few people brought in their own food, chilled out and ate while they watched the live band. They do have a very small amount of drinks, chips, and cookies for sale at a stand but thats it so if you don't want junk food def bring what you do want. They do have an indoor bathroom. PARKING - Def uber/LYFT to them. There are only a few spots in the back you can get to from the side street (not from Ventura blvd) and thats it! So do yourself a favor and get a ride. Lyft must know about this place because the driver knew exactly where to meet us in the back when we booked our return. For us it was a calm but fun summer evening hang outside! I don't know what its like without a band playing but hope I get a chance to check that out too.

Before driving to the venue, I called to ask if the event would be held inside or outside, as the weather forecast predicted rain and I wanted to dress accordingly. After my friends didn't pick up, I called the main line. The man who answered was incredibly rude and made no effort to help me. He clearly doesn't understand the basics of customer service. Because of that interaction alone, I am leaving a one-star review. Customer service is vital, and this place failed completely.
