Popped in here with one of my favorite people in the world, but especially LA. I'd seen Jax's next to Rocco's a few times, but never thought to stop in. Near the corner of Whitsett Avenue/Ventura Blvd - It's got a great outdoor patio layout with a mix of outdoor casual meets semi chic meet sports bar. The inside is very vibrant with a full bar on one end with seating and booths throughout along the wall... It's giving mellow nightclub lounge inside party on the outside. Arriving first I scoped out the place just a few minutes after they opened and grab a nice spot around the plants across from some heat lamps and long beach tables. Sarah arrived a little later and I just got us some water to start. We had some pretty okay cocktails. Paired up with the Mediterranean plate, veggies and Sarah's choice of Soft Street Pretzel... We had plenty. I didn't notice a lot of spelled out vegan options just a small couple by default as well as for vegetarian items. I expected a good amount being in Studio City. They do have a beyond burger... Not sure if they can modify salads (hold the cheese) or about the Buffalo Cauliflower... But seem like worth inquiring about. Our server was incredible the entire night. I'm/we're definitely grateful for her and a fun night out. Super attentive, friendly and caring. I remember she's from Chicago and might also be a manager here. Erin is astounding. The bathrooms are nice - gender neutral sink area in one part and individual use restrooms across from it. Natural small plant life meets earthy jungle vibes. Parking is street, meters are sparse but you'll get lucky, but a ride share is your friend. Open daily at 5pm throughout the week and as early as Noon on weekends until close. I've never really seen or gotten into the Vanderpump franchise, but we did run into Jax and he seemed like a decent guy overall. A bit surprised they don't highlight their staff as much as friends, patrons, and public figures. I would pop in again for a drink or happy hour situation... The margaritas are delicious. I'm not crazy about the food, pretty much the exact same menu as Rocco's next door. Bar pub style eats and bites including pizza, sandwiches, salads, wings, burgers, flat bread and loads of appetizers (like tacos). Trivia Thursday as well as Karaoke Mondays sound super fun. I know they do a lot of events here, including watch parties - but you can also book the space for private events.

Perfect signage haha

Recently had a trip to LA and obviously needed to make the rounds at all the Vanderpump spots! Jax's was not the most convenient to go to but it is worth the trip! They have a fun location with various places to sit and hangout- whether you want indoor or outdoor. I love how they've decorated. It's super fun and they have a great selection of cocktails. Several TV's are available if you want to watch sporting events. We went on a Saturday afternoon and a good amount of people were also enjoying the atmosphere here. The bartender working was quick to help us and make our drinks. No parking but there were a few spots we were able to snag on the street nearby.

Tom Schwartz sighting

I have recently really gotten into Vanderpump Rules and The Valley. I was in the area and my co-worker (who is also a fan) pointed out Jax's to me. I knew we had to go over there after our event. We wandered over to Jax's around 9ish on Thursday. It was pretty dead for a Thursday night, but I wanted to just hang out and soak in the ambiance. So, it was perfect for me. There is a bar inside and seating area out inside and outside. I grabbed a drink and decided to sit outside. While I was the bar, my co-worker randomly asked if Jax was going to be there (as a joke), and the bartender acknowledged and said that Jax and Tom Schwartz would be there in about an an hour and a half. The fangirl in me definitely wanted to see them, so we decided to wait. The drinks were just OK (average for LA-adjacent prices). We didn't get food because we had just eaten, but I saw some other tables and it looked pretty good. The restrooms were disgusting. The bartenders were pretty nice. About 2 hours later, Jax showed up with a party bus (I guess they were doing an event where they were going to go to several bars in VPR with Jax's being the last stop). Once Jax showed up, the mood shifted a little. It was hard to get the bartender's attention because they were catering to the party bus (we wanted to buy a souvenir shirt but had a hard time tracking down someone). Jax was there and was not super welcoming (not surprising, but I thought he would surprise me). We left shortly after. But, on my way out, we ran into Tom Schwartz, who was super chill and he took photos with us. Would I go back here again? Probably not my first choice to come back here. But, if another VPR fan wants to go here again, might come back for an cast sighting.

Wtf is this "beer cheese" it was so bad. I'm sorry memaw.
Courtney J.

While upon walking in the vibes were there, this place left much missing and I will definitely never be walking back in again. Ordered: 1. Amaretto sour. They clearly use a premade sour mix and the bartender didn't even bother shaking it. It was basically amaretto in a cup with ice. 2. Spicy marg. Gross. 3. Memaw's beer cheese. Memaw is probably rolling over in her grave this was so, so bad. It was hardened and scooped out from a tub that had probably been sitting in a fridge for weeks. Who serves cold chunky beer cheese?? The pretzel it came with was good tho. Service is fine, music was too loud for conversation, but music choice was good. Valet was 12 dollars. Otherwise it's street parking.

Artichoke. It was okay.

Drinks 3/10 Food 6/10 Service 5/10 Ambiance 6/10 Bravo celebrity factor 10/10 The quick review: The drinks were terrible. TERRIBLE. The service was slow and unfriendly. The food was mostly good (honestly was expecting it to be bad and it was surprisingly better than anticipated) but let's be real, the reason you come here is to see Jax and others from Vanderpump Rules / Bravo. And for that, it was fun. Drinks: When I say the drinks were terrible... omg I can't believe what I paid. The espresso martini was... not it. The margarita was disgusting, overly syrupy, and just bad. But when I ordered the vodka soda... HOW DO YOU MESS THAT UP?! It was so bad. The ratio? The brands? The fact that they put fake lime juice in it when I asked for a lime on the side? I don't know but it was bad. Food: pretty good, for bar food. The truffle fries were the best we ordered. The sliders were simple but good. The artichoke was okay. And the Bianca flatbread was fine. It wasn't bad by any means, but it wasn't great? When you're drunk watching sports the food would be solid, but if you're having a chill night, the food is just fine. Service: I totally understand that we came on a busy night, but omg the service was SO slow. We were constantly ignored (at our table - not just fending for ourselves at the bar) and when we were able to flag down a server, they were not friendly. Our food runners and bussers, however, were amazing and sooo friendly. Would I go back for a VPR event or sighting? Sure. But I would not come back for a random night out. Just truly not worth it. TomTom and SUR on the other hand? WORTH IT.

Beer Cheese and Greek Salad
Ruben B.

Sometimes a 3 star review is looked at as a negative. But I honestly had a positive experience at Jax's Studio City. In case you do not want to read a detailed review, my reasoning for 3 stars is because it is just ok. Would I go out of my way to bring someone here? No. Not because its bad but because there are better options out there. If you are a Vanderpump Rules fan, you should come check this place out at least once. The food menu was extensive which I appreciated. There were plenty of options which would appeal to many tastes. My party had Mamaw's Beer Cheese, Greek Salad, and some kind of Truffle Fries. They were all great but nothing to write home about. I would be curious to try some of the other food here as well. They seemed to have some other yummy options. Curious about the Beer cheese? It is a traditional Kentucky Beer Cheese and is served cold. The overall taste reminded me of the cheese that comes in the snack packs for kids with the little pretzel sticks. It tasted like American Cheese and no clear beer flavor. That might appeal to someone but it wasn't really my cup of tea. The pretzel it came with though was very good, soft and warm. The drinks I had were The Brittany: Sweet Tea and Espresso Martini. Both solid drinks but ultimately nothing amazing about them. I came here on a Saturday at about 3/4pm. It was a little slow. The ambiance is nice and the decor is nice as well. Again, I would come here if someone wanted to check it out or if we were nearby. I really wanted to be blown away. But ultimately I would pass for something else.

Came here on a Thursday night around 7, and there was a good amount of people. We sat at the booth under Jax's neon name, and it was a good spot. It wasn't too busy so it was nice. I got a watermelon margarita, which was super strong and had a watermelon after taste (not complaining) and Jax's Italian fries and the cheesy bread sticks. The fries were really good! The aioli was amazing. The cheesy breadsticks were meh but still somewhat good. The staff were super friendly! We left at about 9 and it start d to get more crowded (of course haha). My friends got Brittany's iced tea and the spicy margarita and they said they were really good and strong as well. Parking: there is street parking/meters and it was somewhat hard to find a spot. Will be back! Good fun vibes!

Drink menu

Hands down best service! This was our first time here and loved every minute of it. Took the wife here for a day date and had an amazing time. The drinks and food were on point and didn't let us down. Our bar tender Griffin provided amazing customer service! The ambiance was great as well. I highly recommend Jax's.

After wanting to give this place a try today we decided it was time. My husband and I are fans of both Vanderpump Rules and The Valley we had to give this place a try. We live down the street and were excited. It is an extension of Rocco's an already loved Valley restaurant. Once we walked in we were quickly greeted by a nice waitress. It was open seating at the time as we went during lunch hour so we decided to sit inside. The waitress quickly came to take our drink orders. I ordered the Blackberry Bourbon drink and it was delicious. We ordered the calamari as appetizer. We then ordered the 10 inch pepperoni pizza and the Mediterranean salad. It was all delicious. Our waitress was always checking in and making sure that we were ok. The ambiance was comfortable and good vibes. Can't wait to go back.

Kennedy T.

The food was great! Hot and fresh and quick. The service was really great. Luma was our server and she was fantastic, extremely friendly. We had a great time celebrating my birthday and the drinks were good. They were decently priced and tasted good. The bartenders were great too and provided a great atmosphere/experience. For the area and today's prices, the prices were not bad at all to our surprise.

How's the parking?

I usually walk over because I live in the neighborhood. But they have valet so that's convenient. Otherwise it's not awesome.

Is it pet friendly?

Yes! Patio pets welcome!

5 stars. Took my boyfriend here for his birthday and the night couldn't have gone better…read more We started with the meatball appetizer, then the caprese salad, the crab cake, and the branzino with almond crust for the main. Every single plate was on point. The branzino was the standout -- crispy almond crust, fish cooked perfectly, not a dry bite on the plate. The crab cake was all crab, no filler, and the caprese was fresh and simple the way it should be. The real star of the night was Scott, the bartender/owner. He took care of us from the second we sat down, recommended everything we ate, and went out of his way to make Edward's birthday feel special. You can tell he actually cares about the people in his room, not just turning tables. That kind of hospitality is rare. And the drinks -- a dirty martini, a Manhattan, and hands down the best whiskey sour I've ever tasted in my life. The Rendition Room is a whole experience: hidden speakeasy, great food, great drinks, and Scott running the show. If you're celebrating something, this is where you go.

It's become so much more than just one of our favorite bars and every visit reminds us why we keep coming back. The biggest reason, though, is the people. Hospitality is something that's hard to fake, and the team here does it effortlessly. From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted like an old friend. Over the years, the staff has created an environment that feels welcoming, comfortable, and genuinely personal, and that's something that's become increasingly rare. Matt, Sabrina, and the entire team are all such gems. Scott also deserves special recognition. He's a huge part of what makes The Rendition Room such a special place. Whether he's introducing a new cocktail, sharing the story behind a spirit, or simply taking the time to check in, his passion and care for every guest shine through. It's people like Scott who transform a great bar into a place you truly feel connected to. On our most recent visit, we tried the new Decade & Debauchery cocktail, celebrating The Rendition Room's 10 year anniversary, and it's phenomenal. Balanced, and beautifully executed. In a city full of great bars, they have managed to create something much harder to find, a sense of community. After all these years, it still feels just as special as the first time we walked in.

The restaurant is gorgeous! There is something incredibly charming about the combination of the warm lighting, fireplace, and open-air dining area. We were seated in the corner beneath the open sky, facing the fireplace, which made the entire experience feel especially intimate and memorable. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was wonderful. Our server gave us complimentary brachetto wine on the house, and we loved it so much that we got another glass. He also recommended the crispy manzanilla olives as an appetizer, which was not our first choice, but I'm so glad we did. It was a unique take on olives and they were so crispy, flavorful, and addicting to eat. For the appetizers, we had the meatball and the crispy pork belly and watermelon. We split the main entree, the mushroom papardelle and added mac and cheese with hand cut frites. The pappardelle were fresh and flavorful. The meatball was also generously portion but for me, the star of the show is the mac and cheese. I also loved the crispy pork belly with watermelon as a contrast of savory and sweet. By the time dessert arrived, I was already pretty full, but I'm so glad we made room for it. We had the sticky toffee cake and it was fantastic. My biggest recommendation is to save yourself the headache and use valet parking if you're going during peak hours. We went after 9 PM on a Sunday so there was plenty of street parking in the area. Firefly is one of those restaurants where the atmosphere, food and hospitality came together to create an experience that feels genuinely special. The only reason I'm giving them a 4 star is the parking situation and also because our frites were overly salty. We asked to send it back to the kitchen and they were kind enough to take it off the bill because we barely touched it. Definitely a restaurant I'd recommend for a romantic dinner, celebration, or simply an evening when you want to enjoy good food in a beautiful setting. I would skip out on the frites and try their other foods though.

I've been eating around this place for a while, saving it for a special time. My pickiest friend…read morewanted braised short rib and I found it on Firefly's menu. We went anyway, even though there was nothing extra special to celebrate but life, health and friendship. First off, finding parking was insane- and there was filming across the street taking up nearly all the parking for blocks- I tried. just Valet it rather than walk 6 blocks in heels. Entering this place for the first time, I was enchanted, - treated like a VIP from the parking staff, the door security, host team and servers. Our table was next to the fire place and under the open sky. I could see immediately why this place is loved for the romantic and charming ambiance. We'd planned to share a few plates but then found the prix fix menu and that made it easy. Half a fresh baguette and soft delicious butter with balsamic arrived and it was amazing. The appetizers arrived, heirloom tomatoes with burrata were the best I've had in L.A. and my friend ate most of it himself. Tuna tartar was good. Next the entrees- steak frites for me and the braised short rib for him. The steak was huge filet mignon, with a side of delicious French fries. One suggestion- eat the French fries as hot as possible. They were great and I almost missed them, focused on the steak and sharing the braised short rib with pomme puree and a mushroom sauce that was excellent. The portions were unexpectedly generous. I did not have a lot of room for dessert, but creme brûlée a sticky toffee cake were just incredible. I can't wait to come back with a less fussy dinner guest because he made what would have been an epic first visit less enjoyable than it could have been. Thanks to the several wait staff and manager who accommodated above and beyond. This place is my new favorite L.A. restaurant! I highly recommend you bring your special people to this special place.

This was my first experience with Vitello's Restaurant and their Velvet Martini Lounge. On Saturday…read morenight, a group of 7 of us took our friend here for her birthday, and booked our table in the Velvet Martini Lounge because she wanted to listen to the jazz. Mary was our server, and it started out promising, she greeted us promptly and took our drink orders. It went downhill from there. By the end of the night, the person refilling our water was the best service we got all night, because he came around regularly to check and refill our glasses. It seemed like because there were 7 of us, so she got an automatic 20% gratuity, she didn't think she had to work for her tips, but the service was appalling. Honestly, the room was only half full, so it wasn't even that busy. Service: We had a friend show up late, and it took a long time to get someone's attention to bring a wine and water glass for her. I kept trying to waive someone down, or hoped that Mary would come check in, but no such luck. When the food arrived, they just dropped off the food and left, they didn't ask if I or anyone at the table wanted pepper or parmesan for our dishes, or needed anything else. My friend sitting across from me finally got someone's attention that was walking by to bring some pepper, and after doing her plate, he didn't ask if anyone else at the table wanted any. So I stopped him from leaving and asked the table if anyone else wanted pepper or parm. Myself and another friend wanted parm, but we were half way through our meals before it came. We were at the end of the meal before Mary even came back to check back on us. We ordered another bottle of wine because all of our glasses were empty. Mary just brought it to the table, opened it and then walked off without refilling any of the empty glasses. For dessert, we ordered one dessert to share, but everyone decided we would do after dinner martinis. Mary took the order for 5 people at the table and left without taking my order or my friend's order for our martinis, so we end up having to wait until she came back with the other 5 martinis to order ours. Food: It was bland, underwhelming and overpriced. I ordered the chicken piccata. The capers were the only thing that gave it flavor, its a dish that I didn't think you could make tasteless. The noodles did not taste fresh, almost rubbery. There are so many Italian places around Los Angeles that are the same price or cheaper that have higher quality and better tasting food. I ordered a chocolate martini, and the alcohol wasn't too overpowering, and it tasted just like drinking a dessert. We ordered two bottles of the Montepulciano that they had on their wine list, it was just okay, so if you are a wine person, then I recommend bringing your own bottle and just pay the corkage fee. Bill: They don't hand you the bill, which is a surprise for such a big group. They didn't give us the printed bill until we asked for it after paying. So when I checked it over, I was surprised that on top of the 20% automatic gratuity, there was also a 3.5% kitchen appreciation fee. Which I was told by the hostess as we were leaving you can ask to have removed before paying your bill. Doesn't seem like there is any transparency for that fee. It definitely felt painful to pay 23.5% in tips/fees for such appallingly bad service. Jazz: Saving grace for this place, that's the one star. Saturday night they had just a singer and a piano player. The singer's voice was beautiful and she took requests, so we requested La Vie en Rose before we left. She sang it in English vs. French, but she sang it beautifully. Vitello's has a great history, so if you are going to come here, then come here for the drinks and the jazz.

While we probably won't rush back, it's a super cute place with a 'garden' or 'backyard' feel above…read morea funky furniture place. Food was a bit of a mixed bag. 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.

First time at Cosette and it was very nice. Very inconspicuous but nice!! It's located right next…read moreto Madewell and it's upstairs on second floor of the plant store. It's easy to get lost but it's easy to find after you read the sign and pass Madewell. It was a girls night out experience and we had fun on a Saturday evening. For food I ordered the bread and butter that was Shareable and the tuna ahi with chips that was 3/5. It could have been more flavorful. The bread and butter was 5/5 though. Very hot and soft. 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.
