    This restaurant is located in Down Town Burbank. I went there to celebrate a birthday. It is a fine dinning style restaurant; therefore, prices can be high. It is very clean and nice decorated. Even restroom was very clean compared to other restaurants I have been to. Food was amazing too. I ordered Margarita Pizza. It was so good. It tasted really good. Desserts were great. They were so yummy. I really enjoyed my dessert. I will be back for coffee and dessert for sure. Their menu has a lot of different options which makes it easy to pick. For service, our server was Richard. He was outstanding I can easily say that he was the most nice and friendly server I have seen in a while. He went above and beyond in providing customer service. He was constantly checking on us. He even made recommendations on what to order. If you are a wine person, he can be a big help sine he is sommelier. He even made recommendations for what drinks to order. This location has both indoor and outdoor dinning area. I noticed that people with reservations have priority for indoor dining. People with no reservations were ask to dine outside. Parking is easy. There is street and public parking option too.

    Five stars all the way! I was just here this last Saturday with my sister and some friends. Wow! Off the bat, service was outstanding. From our hostess to our waiter Kevin. He was very knowledgeable when it came to selecting what to eat. And he was very accommodating. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their waiter. Now the food, holy cow! We ordered the chicken Parmesan, mushroom pizza, burrata salad, and braised oxtail pappardelle. As well as trio of desserts - tiramisu, creme brûlée, and toffee cake. My goodness was it all delicious. The flavors were magnificent. And the portions were generous. The setup of the restaurant was beautiful. The vibes were incredible. Everything was just so clean. I highly recommend this place for a girls night or even a date night. I'll definitely be back with my husband next time!

    Great customer service, great atmosphere, Burbank needed a resturant like this besides Capital grille, Palma ristorante is the next stop for sure. From the front, to manager Art, waiters everyone was super friendly and helpful. Ordered half dozen oysters - fresh tasted good Ordered half branzino - crispy on the outside and marinated to perfection inside. Mozzarella cheese pizza - was very good Arugula salad - very refreshing uplifting salad

    Went on a double date, so we had the chance to try different drinks and plates. Overall the restaurant was very welcoming and the food was good. Some dishes were discontinued and that was a little disappointing. The vibe of the restaurant is amazing. The seating is very comfortable and I really liked the restaurant. Valet is very convenient and overall I really liked the service we received, thanks to the staff!

    Burrata
    Arlene B.

    I really wanted to love this place because it honestly has a lot going for it but unfortunately one major component fell short. First off, located next to a parking garage, so no need to worry about that but they also offer valet. We went on Valentine's Day and of course reservations were a must. We were seated very quickly and the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout the entire night. My husbands only complaint is that no one refilled his water glass. The decor inside is very nice, they have a cute outside seating area as well. Plates and presentation was a 5/5 and I was hoping flavor matched it but this is where they lost points. They had a Valentines pre fix menu but you could also order à la cart. We opted for à la cart because the menu price was not worth what they were offering. First off the burrata. 4/5. It lacked flavor and all it needed was some salt to let the natural flavor of the tomato and burrata shine through. Second, I ordered the sea bass and again it wasn't up to par. It was good but not amazing and for the price point, you expect amazing. My husband got the pasta and honestly it wasn't anything special. Tasted like homemade pasta, 3/5. Overall ok meal but probably won't be back anytime soon.

    1st the Ambiance is amazing it's very nice cozy and warm. The service is fast and efficient. Our server Paul was very attentive and he check on us frequently. We were here on Valentine's Day which happens to also be our Anniversary. This is good and bad, bad because a lot of place like this place have a special menu for Valentine's Day and they hike up the prices. I was disappointed because they had a smaller menu and some items that I was considering were no longer available. Also they raised the prices honestly by like 20 bucks which is a rip off. I had the pasta with Lobster and wifey had the pasta with oxtails. She liked her food but it did not come out hot as we would have liked. We are not complainer's so we did not mention it to our servers. My food was good I really enjoyed it. I also had the wedge salad which was good also. Over all we enjoyed our dining experience but would I drive out of my way again to come back I doubt it.

    Pistachio passion

    The ambiance was beautiful, I loved all the decor. Service was impeccable, plenty of staff who were constantly attending to our needs. The beet salad wasn't what I expected, I didn't quite taste the champagne drizzle. The freshly baked focaccia was delicious, I opted for the vodka pasta, it had a generic taste not much flavor. The Spanish chorizo with black mussels were phenomenal. Quite frankly the best thing I tried, they were so full of flavor. The orto frito was another one of my favorites for any vegetarians this pizza. The smokin passion mezcal based drink was very tasty. The pistachio passion was also good it tasted very fresh and creamy. I would definitely come back and order the black mussels and some drinks. Lastly the cappuccino was the best way to end the night.

    Art took amazing care of us--every staff member was incredibly attentive and genuinely knowledgeable about the restaurant. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and completely at home. The drinks were well-balanced, and we ordered the oysters, yellowtail crudo, pasta, filet mignon, and the three-cheese pizza. We were honestly shocked by how good the pasta and pizza were--hands down the best pizza I've ever had. The ambiance is stunning, with thoughtful details throughout and no corner overlooked. There's plenty of seating, plus a beautiful outdoor area with fire elements that keep the space warm and cozy. A perfect spot for date night or a special evening out. Highly recommend.

    The restaurant is beautiful and the Spanish/Italian fusion really works. Service was stellar with very attentive staff who took great care of us. We ordered the focaccia starter and the grilled octopus which was delicious and tender. For mains I had the chimichurri scallops and the oxtail ragu with pappardelle, both were delicious. The oxtail is a good size portion and excellent the scallops were cooked to perfection just translucent in the middle. I got four scallops for $42 which was a bit more expensive than expected. Overall it was a yummy dinner just a bit on the expensive side for what you get.

    First I want to start by giving Victoria a shoutout! She was such an amazing waitress and knew the menu very well. I loved her recommendations..... everything she recommended was good! Thank you Victoria for providing great service and dining experience! We had a party of 3 for my friend's birthday. We started with a dozen oysters and for our entrees we ordered different pastas. We ordered the Pappardelle with Wild Mushrooms & Fresh Truffle, Seafood Cavatelli, and the Pappardelle with Braised Oxtail Ragù. I loved them in that order! Can't go wrong with any of them. It was also a good portion size. I also ordered the hibiscus sour ..... the perfect drink. It was delicious. The restaurant itself was nice and clean with a nice ambiance. Although I sat inside, the outside seating was nice with a fire pit at table side for warmth. The seats were comfy couches (booths) but they also have regular tables with seats as well. They have a full bar but there are no TV's .... It's playoff season so I definitely would have enjoyed watching the game while eating. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience and I look forward to dining here again and trying some other dishes. Side note: They have valet parking for $15.

    I admittedly have a little bit of an obsessive personality - I call it 'being passionate!' - and when I like something I REALLY it! I also like to gatekeep these things to myself... perhaps I am possessive? Obsessive and possessive... time for therapy, isn't it? But I am going out of my usual nature here because I found a new obsession that I am NOT keeping to myself and hope to share with everyone in order for them to succeed What do I speak of? Palma, an Italian focused, high-end eatery in downtown Burbank that recently opened in the fall of 2025 by restaurateur Aram Avagyan under the tutelage of Chef Emidio Tidu . Palma sits on Palm Ave near Burbank Town Center Mall on the ground level of Burbank's definition of a sky scraper welcoming with an outdoor patio area with heat lamps and full-on cushioned love seats, large glass windows, fancy dim lighting, indoor open space dining with gold accents, a raw oyster bar, a wine cellar constructed by Aram himself, glistening surfaces and smoothed, curved lines. Palma is sexy, romantic, and cosmopolitan making it not only Burbank's new hot spot for a date or girl's night out but a must-try for anyone in Los Angeles. I can compare Palma to restaurants in cities like Seattle and Chicago and it is splendid to have it in sleepy Burbank. The point of my babbling is that Palma's ambiance is a star performance and the designer/decorators should be applauded. The staff at Palma is equally exquisite from the host/concierge to the wait staff to the busboys: everyone is SO enthusiastic but genuine, friendly, and knowledgeable. Palma hired the best staff and this adds to the high-end but family-feel of Palma and truly makes it an unforgettable dining experience. Palma's menu specializes in pizzas, pasta, steaks and seafood with with an artistic culinary flare. This isn't your neighborhood Italian eatery. This is pizzazz! Glitter! Glitz! Supplementing this is a raw oyster focus, elevated desserts and an extensive alcohol list. My boyfriend and I were ready to wine and dine at Palma for a date night and tried all parts of the menu. To start, we ordered the Charcuterie starter ($32) and the Smokin' Passion cocktail for me (Zomoz Mezcal, Passionfruit, Cynar, Agave, Lime, Bitters - $19). For entrees, I chose the Chimichurri Infused Scallops ($42) with side of asparagus ($12) while my better half chose the 10oz ribeye ($58) with Roasted Fingerling Potatoes ($14) and Red Bliss Mashed Potatoes ($16). First let's talk about this cocktail because I am absolutely - and rightfully so - obsessed! The presentation is classy with a Palma branded ice cube and dehydrated lime slice which is already appealing; but the drink itself is AMAZING! Smoky, hazy, but hints of fruit and stiff: you can not go wrong! I want one right now just typing this! The Charcuterie didn't skimp on cheese and meat selections with four cheeses and three meats plus olives, apricots and these tiny marinaded, pickled vidalia onions that you guessed it: I was obsessed with! My Chimichurri Infused Scallops were artfully plated with fresh herbs and flowers and the scallops were large and buttery soft. My only complaint was that they were bland to me and NOT infused with chimichurri as I expected but rather sitting inside a ring of scallops. Not bad but just not what I envisioned. The asparagus was steamed to al dente perfection and tossed with oil and salt and pepper - simple but tasty although they were oddly very translucent. I personally very much enjoyed my boyfriend's ribeye finding it to taste of grilled perfection but he found that characteristic to be a bit overpowering so it is a matter of opinion. The fingerling potatoes were also simply delicate but the Red Bliss Mashed Potatoes (which was served in a huge heap) was the star of the side show! We devoured this! Although not a perfect dinner; Palma still wins the game and felt satisfactory. I've already gained weight in the last few months so what is more food?! Bring it on! My boyfriend and I shared a dessert of berry cobbler with a struesel topping and melting vanilla ice cream. I found this to be a perfect combination of tart berries, streusel and oozing vanilla but my love said the berries were too tart. What does he know?! I kid I kid (I love you babe!). I will be honest: Palma is NOT light on the wallet so best for a special evening out. Unless you are made of money then feel free to frequent Palma! Palma is an amazing addition to the Burbank restaurant scene and Los Angeles, in general, with exceptional esthetics, customer service, cocktails, lovely menu and overall 'vibe'. I won't be possessive with my obsession because I WANT everyone to try Palma so that it thrives! Get off your butt, stop reading this review and go try my latest obsession of Palma!

    12/10/2025 - This is my first time to dine here, and I do enjoy the ambience, especially the outdoor patio dining while watching beautiful fire pits every few feets away. The Jumbo Sweet Scallops (5 stars +) is my favorite or the best dish for the day while the grilled branzino is also excellent (5 stars), so as the Passion Pistachios. You may not easily find either Jumbo Sweet Scallops or Passion Pistachios with the ultimate taste in Los Angeles. On the other hand, the appetizers are average but also expensive. This Italian restaurant in Burbank, CA really shines with many seafood dishes or some high-priced steaks, but the price is very high, which maybe one of the reasons the Yelp rating is below 4.5. I will come back again just for two main courses dishes, as well as the desert referenced above while saving money to avoid appetizers. You can get a free self-parking just next to the restaurant for 4 hours at the second floor, or one hour at the first floor.

    We had a great experience at Palma Ristorante and really enjoyed the overall atmosphere. They have both indoor seating and a lovely outdoor patio, which was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The Christmas décor gave the space an upscale, festive vibe that felt perfect for the season. There was also live music during our visit, which really elevated the atmosphere and made the night feel special without being overwhelming. The cocktails were well-crafted and a highlight of the evening. The food overall felt refined, though one of the steak temperatures wasn't exactly what we expected. That said, our server was excellent -- attentive, professional, and handled everything so well that it honestly didn't take away from the experience. Great service, elevated ambiance, and a fun yet polished vibe. A solid spot for a nice dinner, date night, or a special evening out in Burbank -- especially during the holidays.

    We found this place last minute to watch the final FIFA World Cup game when we were turned around…read morefrom another spot. Thank god we got turned away because this place is a hidden gem. They do have parking behind the building which seems to fill pretty quickly if they're busy, but it's easy to find parking around the neighborhood. I am not usually in the tavern scene so I was surprised that we had to order and pay at the bar, but it wasn't a big issue. My friend and I split the kale caesar salad and the macaroni and cheese. For the table, I ordered the waffle fries after being informed by the kind waitress that that was the better choice over the pretzel (which she also said was amazing). Since the place was filling up for the final, the kitchen was a bit slow, but we barely noticed with how attentive the staff were in getting us drinks and refills. When it came to food, we were pleasantly surprised with this place and is honestly the reason I'm writing this review. The first things we got were the Beef Tallow Waffle Fries, Caesar Salad, and mac and cheese. Obviously the fries were much better, however the salad was also divine but just swimming in dressing. Back to the fries, we all were mindblown with how tavern fries could be this good and had so many flavors. Even the skinny queens in our group kept snacking on them which tells you how good these were. Mac and cheese came and it was standard and creamy but not necessarily something I'd return for. The surprising thing on top of the fries that majority of us loved was the Vegan Tomato Scampi with shrimp. It was fire and had me questioning if it was even Vegan. Would definitely return here if I find my way back to SoCal from the Bay. Great unassuming place with great food and vibes. Their bathroom as well is super clean and nice! Love this place!

They encouraged us to come in a few days before to do a tech test to make sure everything ran smoothly for the screening part of our event. As expected, things did indeed run smoothly as a result! Their Monday night karaoke was going on simultaneously and the sound didn't interfere with our screening at all. We had about 30 attendees and the room was a very comfortable size for us, it's also beautiful! The entire experience was fantastic, we're very happy with how the evening turned out!

They are known worldwide. When people come to LA this is one of their go-to places to experience. I have enjoyed this establishment many times. I have written reviews in the past, but with a new phone comes a new outlook and a new experience. I was dropped off across the street and approached the front entrance that was well lit and easy to maneuver. There was a valet service that took care of arriving parties. The valet was courteous and helpful. At the entrance the door was opened for me and I walked up the ramp toward the lobby / waiting area. I approached the entrance to the bar / lounge. It was well lit and very busy. This was on a typical Friday before the entertainment started at 9:00 p.m. I looked for my friend as I walked along the bar area. We wanted to eat at the bar so we stood off to the side as we waited for a seat. We let the bartender know that we were going to eat as well as drink. FYI there is a food/drink minimum in the bar/lounge area when there is entertainment. It is easy to satisfy. Once we were seated we ordered food: appetizers, onion rings and calamari. Both were excellent as well as the dipping sauce. The Chipotle aioli and marinara added to the flavor. The calamari had a light coating and was perfectly cooked. The onion rings had a great crunch with fresh cut onion flavor. The Smoke House cheeseburger with everything on it arrived next. The fresh smoked aroma was present immediately. It was beautifully prepared. Fresh lettuce, fresh ripe tomato slice, pickle spear sat neatly alongside the charbroiled filet hamburger covered with American cheese. It was fun putting all the pieces together. Definitely a mouthful! Perfectly cooked medium rare on top of the fresh brioche bun. Each bite was a great tasting experience. While eating, we were also serenaded by the great sounds of the Rick Whitfield band. I've seen them before and they do not disappoint. Great selection of styles and genres. They had a dinner set that featured many memorable songs. After a short break they came back with a dance set with a variety of danceable music, both fast and slow. Many of the diners took to the dance floor. Rick dedicated the number of songs to special events that were happening as well as birthdays. He is a master host as well as a musician. After last call it was time to leave. Such a great experience, we both decided we should return again, and soon. Can't wait to come back and enjoy the friendly service, the excellent food and the fantastic music!

When making our reservation, I even requested a scenic table since we didn't have one the first time. The evening started exactly as we had hoped. We were warmly welcomed, seated with a beautiful view, and our server got us off to a good start. Unfortunately, once the restaurant became busier, the experience changed. One of the main reasons I returned was for the Tomahawk steak, only to find out they had already sold out. I ordered the Steak Progressive instead, which was good, but it wasn't what I had been looking forward to. As dinner went on, our table seemed to disappear from our server's radar. We placed our order before the dinner rush, yet several tables seated after us--including the couple next to us celebrating a special occasion--received their meals, finished eating, and left before we did. We weren't ordering anything unusual, so the delay was frustrating, especially while neighboring tables received much more attentive service. Another frustrating moment involved the patio umbrella. The sun was directly in my face, and when we asked if it could be adjusted, we were told it didn't tilt. After several minutes of using our menus for shade, another team member walked over and adjusted it in seconds. It was disappointing to learn it could be moved after all. By then, the mood had shifted. Instead of enjoying our celebration, we were ready to box up our food and head home. Before leaving, I spoke with Yesenia, one of the managers. He genuinely listened and asked what Castaway could do better. My answer was simple: I don't want another couple celebrating a special occasion to leave feeling the way we did. The view is incredible, but people remember how they're treated just as much as what they're served. To their credit, the restaurant removed two appetizers from our bill and offered us a complimentary dessert. We appreciated the gesture, but it missed the point. The cost was never the issue. We happily pay for great food, exceptional service, and leave generous tips when it's deserved. We declined the dessert because we were simply ready to leave, and even its presentation felt rushed. The reason I'm giving three stars instead of one or two is because I know what Castaway is capable of. Our first visit was outstanding, which made this experience all the more disappointing. As my spouse said afterward, "This experience won't necessarily stop us from coming back because we know what Castaway is capable of." I agree. I'm sharing this review in the hope that future guests celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, and other milestones receive the level of hospitality that made us fall in love with Castaway the first time. I'm hopeful our next visit reflects that experience once again.

    It's rare to come across a real butcher shop who serves great quality meat, but also offers takeout…read morefood that tastes amazing. In a time where just about everything has gotten so expensive, isn't it time we change our habits to support local businesses that are doing incredible work? They're sandwiches are top-notch, their meats are divine, and they use fresh and great tasting produce. I only wish they could expand to have some real seating as this place is tiny and really a grab and go kind of spot. Kudos to your dedication and hard work in providing Burbank a dedicated meat market and high quality food. P.S. do NOT sleep on the banana pudding in the fridge.

    Papa's Meats and Seafood located in Burbank, CA, has a wide offering of fresh seafood and meat as…read morewell as various dishes. If you love pastrami, knishes, rye bread, and this is the place. The draw back is this place is very crowed during peak times and it a little too small considering the amount of customers that come. I've driven past Papa's Meat and Seafood on Glenoaks Blvd a dozen times, on our many trips to the area. We alway promising that we would stop in, and I'd finally stop in. Honestly, my only regret is waiting this long. I ordered the Luka Sandwich, which is loaded with their 14-hour smoked pastrami brisket, cheddar, pickled cherry peppers, iceberg, and Papa's aioli on toasted sourdough. The pastrami itself is a work of art--smoky, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and seasoned perfectly without being a total salt bomb. The pickled cherry peppers give it this incredible, bright pop of heat that cuts right through the richness of the beef. It's a messy, beautiful monster of a sandwich.  My wife went with the Surf 'n' Turf Bowl, which comes with their marinated "Crack Shrimp" and grilled angus beef over rice with a fresh shirazi salad. The beef was incredibly tender, but those crack shrimp stole the show--snappy, heavily seasoned, and completely addictive. You can clearly taste the quality of a high-end butcher shop in a casual, quick-service lunch.  The only reason I'm knocking off one star is the wait time and the seating is also pretty limited, so it's much better suited for a grab-and-go situation than a sit-down date night. That being said, the quality of the meat here blows standard sandwich joints completely out of the water. If you're in Burbank and want a lunch that actually feels high-quality and satisfying, do yourself a favor and drop in. I'm already eyeing the A5 Wagyu Cheesesteak for my next visit!

My go to order is their grilled chicken breast, or their tri tip 7 oz with the side of sweet mash & Mac n cheese -- it hits every time! I am obsessed with their sweet mash it's a must have for me. I highly advise you to ask for the garlic bread rolls with bbq sauce on the side 10/10 !!! The service at this location was very pleasant. From the host, to our server, everything was top tier each time we visited. The location is extremely well up kept, clean, & everyone works & moves very organized. I love that. I work in restaurant management so seeing this when I go out is a green flag for me. Will definitely be back soon! Parking tip: located next door there is a parking garage for the restaurant, I believe its 90 minutes, or just restricted to only wood ranch grill customers, either way its FREEEEE:)

The service was cool, however they did mess up my order and I was already starting to eat. They said I had to give up the other plate even though the salmon was cooked wrong it still was looking satisfying!!! The potatoes were better though than my new salmon plate. It was pretty busy for a Sunday but the service was pretty fast at the bar. It's clean inside and modern. Right next to the fun stuff in Burbank. I will come back here again. ! -Marshay D.

The servers brought out water dishes and treats on a silver tray for the dogs- true service! I missed happy hour, but tried a themed cocktail, the onion rings, and the truffle burger. It was all great! My friends and I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food and our server was great. It seemed like a lot of regulars were there, which helped contribute to the overall good vibes.

That says a lot about the staff. Our server, she was a young lady, was on top of everything and really made our time here enjoyable. I came here for happy hour on a Tuesday was surprised to find out they do $2 tacos and $5 margaritas. Let me tell you, the tacos are delicious and the margaritas are STRONG. It's a hell of a good time. I really enjoyed the chicken taco and carne asada taco. The meats were juicy and very flavorful. I also ordered their nachos, chili cheese fries and bread pudding. The nachos were made perfectly with the chips being thin and crispy. They used a couple different cheeses and the jalapeños were a nice touch. Definitely ordering it again, I can do without the chili cheese fries. It was good but it wasn't amazing. Their bread pudding was HUGE and I can see why it's one of the popular items here. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft and gooey in the inside. Morrisons is definitely a fun place to be. Perfect to enjoy happy hour, catch the games on, and hang out friends. They have plenty of seating inside and outdoor with heat lamps. They are dog and kid friendly as well

She was especially wonderful when I…read moreasked about the quality of their lettuce/produce (because you know, exploding bowels and whatnot). Not only did she ask the chef's first hand the answer, she came back and showed me documentation. She went above and beyond, and I truly appreciated it. It also meant that I was able to try the delicious Caesar salad that I hear everyone rave about. We also were able to partake of the crab cake, wagyu ribeye, and our must-haves of pretzel bread and truffle gnocchi. We are also slowly making our way through the cocktail list. Banana maitai (I think would be even better if you added ice cream to it and made it a alchy-float) Espresso martini with reposado! (Validation! I prefer tequila over gin and this helped prove my palate was correct) Dessert wise, you can't go wrong with the butter cake. We also tried the chocolate cake. Both are excellent, and if you have room, then get both. Special thanks to Chad for always being amazing and welcoming us so warmly. Additionally, I truly appreciate it when my little one was looking for the bathroom and Chad kindly pointed them to the correct door.

And that soft flakey parmesan grating on top, so good. To drink - Water - I was happy that the waitress was attentive and kept our water glasses full - Blood Orange Mule - still my favorite in the black Mule Cup! I recommend, it is refreshing and delicious! - Some of my friends had the Watermelon Margarita and they said it was very delicious and refreshing For my entree - 6 oz petit filet - Oh man, cooked to perfection! The meat just melted in my mouth just like the meatball and cooked exactly to what I asked. On the side: Mac and Cheese (soooo smooth and cheesy), Mashed potato (I loved getting little chunks of potato which meant it was real potato), and sauteed spinach (I LOVE that the spinach was not doused in any cream, it is delicious and healthy and well I love spinach so I ate more spinach than anyone at the table haha. - One of my friends got the Steak Frites which I must comment on because her plate looked amazing, I will post the photo, it's truly a bed of shoestring fries with a very generous piece of steak! For dessert to share with the table - Butter cake - this is my favorite, with those macerated strawberries and honestly you don't even need the ice cream that sits on top because it's so delicious even without it! - Cheesecake with amarena wild cherries on top, Look I'm not the biggest fan of cheesecake, but the cheesecake here is so delicious, it tastes fresh and not heavy. For me the cherries on top are truly a cherry on top! If you have never tried BLVD Steak, check it out, especially for a date night, or just to hang out at the bar.
