We sat outside, and the views paired with all the lights made for such a beautiful atmosphere! Our server, Collen, was so sweet and helpful, especially when we needed suggestions on what to order. The food was good overall. I personally would've liked the cauliflower to have a little more crunch, but the flatbread was definitely the star of the show, she was delicious!! The drinks were also really good. Between the beautiful outdoor seating, good food, drinks, and friendly service, I'd definitely come back!

Had a reservation, but the restaurant was very busy, so we were seated outside on a patio, which was fine. Started off with an amuse consisting of a sparkling rose and a whipped, creamy mixture of goat cheese, pecans, chives and aleppo pepper. The rose was rose, it was a small sipping glass, while the whipped treat was alright, interesting but presentation was very basic. For the real meal, we started with bigeye tuna tartare and the pork belly and watermelon. The pork belly was perfect, nice and crispy on the outside, juicy inside, while the watermelon gave a pop of sweetness to cut the savory of the pork belly. The tartare was equally as good with pickled ginger, avocado and ponzu sauce with crispy wontons. For entrees we went with the langostino fettuccine and the braised short rib. The short rib fell apart perfectly and had good flavor to it. It didn't necessarily come off as memorable but it was good. The langostino fettuccine was great, good amount of langostino in a vodka sauce giving a little spicy note to the dish. Very good. To end the meal we had the apple cobbler and the molten cake. The cobbler came with vanilla ice cream and candied walnuts. Nice overall bite. The molten cake was the opposite of molten, missing that runny gooeyness in the middle. Overall, great ambiance, good food and pleasant staff. I'd say skip the molten cake and up to you on the short rib.

Service was stressed because it was a busy Saturday night but made up for it with an incredible free dessert. 3. Food was all a hit, most impressed with the brussels sprouts, lamb and short beef plates. Sticky Toffee Cake might be my fav dessert ever. Toasted and caramelized pecans add a ton of depth and joy. 4. No sign over the door, so all new-comers have to ask the valet "is it this one" which I found mildly annoying. 5. Would definitely come again even just for the Sticky Toffee Cake.

Love how often the menu is updated! Always exciting to revisit!…read more Smoked Trout Tostada - Flavorful Indian spices are impressively deep and harmonize with smoked trout so well. Crispy papadan and creamy dressing add perfect texture. One of the best things I've had in a while, WOW! Bluefin Tuna Carpaccio - Ingredients blend flawlessly...clean, but nuanced. Like the subtle decadence of avocado. Delicate balance of fresh ingredients sings. Bright tomato and mild texture works. Doesn't need to be innovative since it's done so competently. Saag Burrata - One bite of the creamy saag is enough to float home on a pillow! All I want lol but the burrata, cilantro, and herbed toast do assist without taking away. The highest class spinach dip you've ever had omg! Got some skewers from Vey in Back...the use of fresh mint with steak was brilliant. Harissa elevated chicken hearts, but there was a bit too much going on. Freezer Greenpoint - hesitated by the $31 but went for it after talking to bartender and I gotta say, it feels like it's worth the money.

This dark, hole-in-the-wall bar serves excellent drinks and innovative twists on classics, with Oy Bar's special touch to make this a unique SFV find. Their staple wagyu pastrami quesadillas have a pronounced comforting cheese flavor with a touch of jalapeño bite. The tortilla has an interesting texture, one which I'm not sure I liked or disliked as it appeared dry, even with the fatty pastrami. The Peruvian scallop sashimi was fresh, with layers of flavor and textures from the passion fruit sauce, cavior and thinly sliced red peppers. The cured salmon yaki onigiri is rice heavy; the salmon was fresh and beautifully dressed. We also had the mango rum ice cream which was perhaps my least favorite order. The rum was heavy and made the ice cream slightly bitter and the mango flavors was masked.

And despite the fact that valet is $14 (though grateful there IS a valet) Black Market was pretty fun. I personally loved the ambiance of the brick ceiling. There's enough TVs to watch the game if you want, but to not make it a sports bar. And the Happy Hour is pretty generous in terms of options. I'd go back. I thought the marg flight was solid and the deserts were of high quality.

I usually pick my own restaurants, thank you very much - but my friend knows my tastes, and she also knows restaurants... and so when she suggested this place from badass former Top Chef contestant Antonia Lofaso, I was like: let's see if her food is as good as she boasted it was on TV! Verdict: it slapped! First of all, they have a hella good happy hour, until *6:30 pm*, Monday - Sunday. Is that generous or what? We ordered at 6:25 and they still hooked us up. *Full craft cocktails* only $8 during that time. We decided to double up LOL, get 2. I tried the Hand Maid and the Southern Cawing. I think that if I'd gotten one of the cocktails from their regular menu (like Piccolo Punch, $19), it might have been more interesting - but these were very solid. And where are you going to get 2 craft cocktails for $8 each? Food: we got the corn fritters from the HH menu: 4 hulking delicious fritters for $8. Yes, please! We then decided to split 2 apps from the regular menu: brussel sprouts and the hamachi app. Both were unique and tasty. And then I got for myself (cuz my friend doesn't love smoked fish like I do) Smoked ocean trout, ciabatta, pickled baby veg, arugula, dill shallot aioli- $25. It was on a toast, and super filling. Overall, the patio was great (sun in our eyes at that time, but they pulled the shades down) - the servers were super nice - the valet was easy - and Antonia's food was great! I'd definitely come here again if I'm in Studio City. And my friend did good!

There were two gentleman sitting outside with their beer and a few others inside. The dj was starting to set up so I assume something was happening later. We just happened to stop by before the set up. The place is small but cozy. It was a dark and moody vibe but nice. There's a bar along the main wall which why we stopped by. Grabbed a couple of beers and sat outside. It's along a busy street which was nice people watching. Didn't have any food but the menu did look nice. Just from what we experience, it was good. Obviously the beer was a perfect pair to a relaxing night. People watching was great touch too. As the dj was finishing setting up the crowd did start to arrive. I'm not sure how often that happens. So basically, this reviews was a quick pop in and enjoying a beer. Service was nice. Staff were all pretty friendly. Ambience was pretty nice. Next up, dinner.

I have been to Tuning Fork back in 2017 for lunch. A lot has changed since then. Last night my…read morespiritual friend and I decided to go there in the evening around 7pm to listen to some fine jazz/blues music, and have dinner. We shared a Truffled Mushroom Burger, ESW salad, Sangria, and water. The Truffled Mushroom Burger came with Menage aú mushroom, goat cheese, tomato, pickles, imported truffle oil & goddess aioli. The ESW salad came with lots of good, fresh, healthy, vegetables. They are: field greens, avocado, heirloom tomatoes, red onion, corn, grilled asparagus, hothouse cucumber, edamame, crispy tortilla strips, cashews and vinaigrette dressing, I opted for ranch and no cashews. $18.00 for the salad, and there was a price difference by $6.50 in the Truffle burger. They charged me $28.50 for our burger, when on their website it says $22.00. I am not going to dock a star for that, but they need to get the price right. Is it $28.50 or is it $22.00.? Food tasted fresh, healthy, not oily, and not salty. It was pretty good and the portions were fair. Not too big and not too small.Very filling though. Our burger came with shoe strings fries, which was good and they charged an additional$2.00. Sangria was not too strong and had a good kick to it, and it was pretty refreshing. $9.00. Great live music. Bands name was BARRY BIG B. BRENNER. Great musicians and they truly delivered for 2 hours straight. Ambiance was cool, chill, dim lights, interior of the restaurant was wood. Tables/chairs, mirrors on the walls, art work of many different kinds, candles on the tables, a nice bar, cute, small patio outside, clean restroom and last but not least a great service by Vivian and Karla. Vivian had a very good vibe, upbeat energy which what I was looking for.Karla had a sweet smile that was pleasant. It was not crowded at all for a Friday night. So we kind of went with our own pace. They have couple of spots of parking in the back, but I parked on the street. Overall a great experience, a little pricy for my budget. Will return again when I have some $$ in my pocket! Will post photos when I get a minute.

Went out on a Tuesday to meet with friends from out of town. Place had a really nice vibe and music. We sat outside on the patio and it was perfect weather. The drinks were awesome, the food was good and it came out really quick too. But what made it special was the service here. I went to the bar to order food for the patio and then I started seeing people line up to order in the middle of the bar. By the time I realized I was already now 10th in line. Before the line could move, the bartender named Amanda called over "Hey! I saw you here first before everyone. I'll take your order first." We all know how chaotic bartending can be so for her to do that really stuck out to me and I appreciated the thought and consideration. She didn't have to do that at all, but did! It was her and Shauna making drinks that night and the service was top notch! Fast forward to the end of the night, I completely forgot a pair of my favorite shades there. I called the next morning expecting absolutely nothing and for them to be gone. The manager Dominick takes my info and description of the glasses and says he doesn't see them but he'll call me back. Over the course of maybe the next 15 or 20 mins and several phone calls, he is reviewing security cam footage to see what happened to my shades and find out if they were picked up and where they were stored for lost & found pickup. Never in my life have I gotten this kind of response before when losing something. I even felt bad for taking up his time but he was committed to finding them and eventually located me in the security footage and left them with a note for me to pickup. A solid place like this will always be a great choice for food and drinks, no matter what day or occasion. Awesome food and drinks with an incredible staff!
