The fried chicken sando was delicious
Jennifer S.

My man and I stopped by here this evening around 6 o'clock for a cocktail and a snack. It turned into a full fledged evening, as there was some sort of corporate event going on. It was super quiet and chill until about 7 PM when many suited-up corporate professionals began to arrive. We were sat in a very comfortable green velvet-upholstered little nook, and we loved the ambience of the place and ordered a cocktail while we decided on the menu. Our bartender/waiter Miguel, went above and beyond to check on us, even though we were casually dressed and obviously not participating in the corporate event that was taking place. The drinks were extremely strong and good. We ordered the mussels and fries as a starter, and then decided to split the fried chicken sandwich, which was delicious and exactly what we wanted to fill us up. We can't say enough about how delightful the bartenders were, and how even though there was a room full of people at this business networking event, they still came around to check on us. I can't remember the name of the other lovely bartender, but he was a slim, handsome bespectacled young man. Suffice it to say we slept on this place, but we love it here and will most definitely return!! Thanks to the staff for their perfect service and delicious food and drinks!!

Went to the Corner Door on 1/31 for my BFs 34th Birthday. I ended up buying a round of drinks for the table (3) and with a 20% tip I paid 90$ so do with that information as you will The bar was pretty busy, but not overly packed which was nice. If you sat at a table and ordered a drink, tenders would being it to you which is a nice experience as opposed to hanging at a crowded bar Ambiance was great, very vibey and lowkey. Music instruments strewn the wall and iirc there is a dart board, although not really utilized But the real star of the show was my espresso martini. Ive had a lot of them, as theyre exclusively my drink (that or lemon drops) and Corner Door made one of the yummiest espresso martinis ive ever had. It was made with mushroom mocha which was a delightful twist. Only downside is the drink was in a pretty small coupe glass Seriously such a delicious espresso martini

Brunch is now served and what a Sunday treat! Great live music kept the energy high. For my mocktail, order my hand crafted sunrise and sunset drink from the detail oriented bartenders. And the food, reminded me of my Filipina heritage. Chef Justin took me back to my roots with the ube pancakes and fried rice. The most luscious creation to me was the SHRIMP OKONOMIYAKI. I'm glad you asked why; because it made me roll my eyes up at every bite and made me feel like dynamite.

Came here last night for a friend's birthday and loved the vibe of this quaint and eclectic bar! The ambiance was fantastic and the DJ at night played some great beats! The bartenders were so friendly and made fantastic drinks. I got a margarita and it was well balanced. There was ample seating as well as a cute outdoor patio. There was even a plushy couch with pillows. They even had some heat lamps going on this chilly summer evening. Parking was a little hard to find but I was able to score a meter on Washington Blvd.

Discover the Corner Door couple of months ago and this is my go place. Great vibes. Zack, the owner is awesome, makes you feel welcome. What makes this place also special is their cocktails! The bartenders are very friendly, always smiling and service is perfect. Although, my favorite bartender is Miguel. He always makes me great cocktails and always surprises me with new ones that are not on the menu! Live Dj's during weekends.

Ended up here one night with a friend. First time. Will not be my last. Even if I have to drive around the block looking for parking again. Even if it's busy, which it wasn't the evening I was here - don't ask which night because I'm so far behind with my reviews that I don't remember. Even if it's not quite a full menu as it's a bar that serves food, not a restaurant with bar. At least that's my take. The decor is hard to explain. A bar. Some tables off to one side. Then an area set up like a living room or lounge. Quirky. Fun. That's the vibe I felt. That's the vibe I like. Back to the parking. Street parking. Free after 6PM I think. Confirm the time. If you go by my review and get a ticket, that's on you. There's a happy hour. Two, if I remember correctly. Check the menu. I didn't take pics of it. Or maybe check their site or social media. Chose a seat at the bar. Great, friendly service. Bartender took care of the drinks and served the food (see pics). Enjoyed the food. Loved the drink. Burger hit the spot as it was cooked as requested, wasn't dry and tasted good. Fries were crispy, not under or overcooked. The drink was balanced not overpowering and considered ordering a second, but opted for dessert (elsewhere) so, passed until my next visit. What I really liked about this place was the feel like it's one where you'd go happy hour or to just hang out with friends. I don't want to go so far as to say that it feels like home - but for me, I felt comfortable enough to say that I can see myself as a regular here. Remember, to each their own.

Thought this place was cute and really enjoyed the vibe! Lots of couches and seating and cool decor. Fun music but not so loud that it's hard to have a conversation, which can be hard to find on a Friday night. Really enjoyed the pineapple mezcal cocktails here as well!

Cool spot.

Review pending because I need to actually go back and enjoy the food and cocktails! Discovered the Corner Door when they participated in a local trick or treat pathway for families local to the area. What a charming place! The decor is cozy and welcoming. It's giving out a "come have a drink back at my house" vibe. Not too posh, not too divey. The staff behind the bar were lovely and patient when my kids took out a skeleton. I can't wait to go back and try it out properly

Rose-Arita

This is my new fav neighborhood spot since my former fav spot closed in April. I've been here twice so far. 1st visit: I stopped by after work Friday for drinks with a colleague. Finally a place with a happy hour after 5P. I love this for us...lol We were greeted by Matt & Miguel at the bar. Anyhoo we ordered the tequila based happy hour cocktail Rose-Arita. So delicious and refreshing. I ordered the Mambo burger and fries! Unfortunately, it was so scrumptious I neglected to take a pic. My 2nd drink was custom made for me by the friendliest server/bartender with pineapple juice & Reposado tequila (Aiden?). 2 drinks, Mambo burger, and fries for $40. Happiest hour in town! They were prepping for a 70's theme bday event. I inquired about birthday celebrations because mine was around the corner. Liz, the event planner, was so gracious & informative. We made a plan to celebrate my birthday a couple of week's ago. 2nd visit: my birthday happy hour with friends & colleagues. It was most definitely a vibe. My friends loved the VIP treatment and space. Miguel kept the drinks flowing and a time was had by all. Even though I was charged for 2 drinks that were supposed to charged to my colleagues, I didn't mind paying because the Corner Door crew really came through for me! Can't wait to go back!

Is the Corner Door open for indoor dining yet?

Not yet. They have gourmet hotdogs and planning on building out an outside deck in the Summer with a food menu then. Great drinks and happy hour currently!

Is Chef Ali running the kitchen?

At 9:30 pm they started their clean up break down of the outdoor seating while customers were still dinning. This felt disrespectful and insulting. It may have been a long day and I know you want to go home early but this is not a Cheesecake Factory. This is higher dinning and the customer should never feel like they are being hurried up. When you pay $68 for a middle of the road steak and the bill is $300.00 I don't think it's fair to rush the customer. Bad manners and shame on the manager. He seemed like a real jerk

The steak was cooked really poorly and was very very chewy. Sauce was nearly inedible. We each took one bite and could not eat any more of it. First time ever leaving a steak dish alone, ever. I like the idea of a wasabi infused au poivre sauce but it was extra bitter and had a funky sour taste to it. 2. Kimchi was WAY too salty. I understand kimchi is salted during brining, but we each had one piece and couldn't eat any more. I lean towards a saltier palate but I just couldn't eat more. 3. The chicken wings tasted fine, but they weren't even tossed with the sauce completely. Some pieces had only a few drops of sauce. None were fully coated. I'm not sure if that's intentional, but I wanted to point it out. 4. Salad was served in a full bowl and we were instructed to toss the salad ourselves. Either the salad should be tossed with the dressing or we should have a bigger bowl? This might just sound nit-picky, so I'll just leave it at that. 5. We ordered one of everything on the late night menu, and we were told that the tuna was sold out. No problem. When the food came out, we had 2 orders of the wings come out. We only ordered one. When we asked, we found out that the server mistakenly put one order of the wings and one order of the wings combo. Honest mistake, no problem. We had everything come out except the kimchi pancake, and when we asked about it, we were told, "oh, that must be sold out too then." Maybe the kitchen had an off night? I even thought possibly it was because we went too late? But we arrived at the restaurant just past 12 and restaurant closes at 2am on a Saturday, and we didn't receive any notice of a last call in the kitchen, so I don't think that was the issue. Ambiance was fine, server was kind - just hard to get past the food. I replied to an email from the restaurant asking about our dining experience with the above mentioned and got zero response, so now I feel like this just needs to be shared to the public. Maybe the generic automated email is also telling to the laziness of the food. I'm sure their actual dinner menu is better, but what's the point if the food isn't consistent across the board? Maybe don't do the late night menu if it's going to be regarded as unimportant. Again, this is my one experience there from just the late night menu. Not sure if i want to give it another try for a while, but one bad experience usually carries more weight than good ones, unfortunately. Lastly, for a "no tipping" policy where they enforce a 20% fee to cover their operations, I should expect much better from the restaurant. Very, very disappointing. Was really hopeful for this restaurant, but here we are. Hope they do better moving forward.

It Was the Best Yet at Simonette!…read more I stopped by Simonette in Culver City on Friday for happy hour with a friend, and what started as happy hour turned into a really beautiful evening. Simonette is located inside Palihotel in Culver City, and I really enjoyed the intimate outdoor setting. There were trees, twinkling lights and a warm, inviting atmosphere that made the evening feel extra nice. The space is smaller than I expected, but not in a way that felt cramped. Parking can be a little tricky, so definitely plan ahead. Valet is $17, but there are other parking options nearby if you don't mind walking. We actually arrived about 45 minutes late for our reservation because we weren't familiar with the parking situation, but thankfully they were still able to accommodate us. I would recommend making a reservation. I ordered the Burger Parisienne with caramelized onion, American cheese and sauce bordelaise, and when I tell you that burger was drenched in sauce... whew! I ate it like a slice of cake. The sauce, cheese and caramelized onions all worked so well together. We also ordered the boquerones deviled eggs with white anchovy, olives and chives. They were SO nice that I ordered them twice! If that doesn't tell you how much I enjoyed them, I don't know what will. Lastly, we ordered the Parmesan pommes frites with aioli? That aioli made those fries come alive! The customer service was excellent. Shoutout to Timothy at the front because his energy and hospitality were unmatched. He was friendly and welcoming, and definitely made a great first impression. There is also plenty to explore around Culver City, and I really enjoyed the community feel of the area. People were out walking around, meeting up with friends and enjoying their Friday evening. My friend and I even walked around after dinner. Overall, Simonette was a great experience from the food to the atmosphere and the service. The Burger Parisienne and those deviled eggs alone have me wanting to go back. I'd absolutely recommend giving Simonette a try if you're in Culver City!

The tartare was excellent, but the entrees fell flat. The steak used to be a tender filet; this time the cut was chewy, cut with the grain, and smothered in a new curry sauce. I don't know if we got a bad cut or if they've downgraded quality to manage rising beef prices, but the sauce felt like it was masking something. At $41, I can't justify the dish. The chicken's flavor was still good, but the portion seemed smaller, and it's no longer served with their excellent whipped potatoes. Sadly, we're moving on. LA has no shortage of great restaurants, and at these prices, every dish needs to earn it. C'est la vie, Simonette.

First - espresso martinis. It was as if the bartender read our minds...they were made to perfection! Flavorful and you can definitely taste the balance of the espresso and alcohol. I ordered the steak frites and sugar sugar ordered the salmon. We always try each other's food and we couldn't determine which dish was better. The salmon was baked perfectly and the side salad was delicious! The steak had just enough seasoning so that it didn't overpower the quality of the meat.
