The place itself is no frills, they offer great service, good food and a good space to hang with friends. The space has about 5 large tables and seating at the bar. The space is medium size with a majority of their seating space outside. Unfortunately it was over 100 degrees that day and their A/C barely cooled the place. Either way, we toughed it out and had a great time. We ordered margaritas to help cool us down and my friend tried their stout. They were great! We tried a few of their appetizers, we ordered the Jalapeno Peppers, Fried Pickles, Jidori Wings, Beef Brisket Tacos and fries. The wings were the star of the show, they were really tasty. Next time I'm in the area, I will make my way back to Brews Brothers for those wings!

I read this review out loud to my husband before posting and he told me it was so filled with…read morecompliments that it may sound fake. I assure you, it's not. We've been in LA visiting for about a week. This place was a couple of miles from our hotel and got great reviews, so we decided to give it a try two nights ago, and took a Lyft over. First, let me say I'm glad we got a car service, because Vlad, one of the bartenders, mixes up some incredible drinks! I had a watermelon margarita, and then a lavender haze mocktail with some gin added. Both had complex flavors and were strong. We skipped appetizers in favor of desserts. The banana cream pie was amazing! Very flavorful, but not too sweet. But were foodies, and it was the entrees that stood out. My husband had a short rib lasagne that he raved about. I had a hard time deciding, but to keep it lighter, chose the roasted chicken. To be honest, in comparison to all of the other things on the menu, it sounded like the least inventive/creative item. I couldn't have been more wrong! The shallots were the star of the dish, and the chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly. I savored every delicious bite. The service was truly top-notch as well. Every staff member was warm and genuinely happy to have us there. We decided we wanted to go back on our last night, which is supposed to be tonight. We even told the staff we'd be back Thursday, because it was SO good. Our friends, who live in LA, suggested a very different dining experience for our last night, and we will likely go do that. I'm genuinely sad, though, I was looking forward to going back. Maybe we'll try to swing in for a drink and dessert or something. Six has great ambiance, dim and cozy - don't let the strip mall exterior fool you. Felt just right for a date night. The food presentation was thoughtful, as well. Our bill was $140. Not sure if that's high for California, as we live on the East Coast. That would be a little expensive for us, but we felt it was reasonable for the 4 drinks, two meals and dessert we got, given the caliber of food. I know there are so many places you could choose in the area, but Six truly is a gem!

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!

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.

1 Star -- Extremely Disappointing Experience! Poor Management, Terrible Seating Policies, and Lack…read moreof Customer Service My boyfriend and I visited Game Changers in Sherman Oaks to watch the Sunday 49ers vs. Seahawks game, expecting a fun atmosphere and a great place to enjoy football. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing, and the biggest problem was the poor management and complete lack of customer service. First, this place is VERY small, with limited seating and an already crowded layout. Yet, they operate on an online reservation system that makes absolutely no sense for a bar of this size. We waited to be seated, only to be squeezed into an uncomfortable section while several larger, roomier tables sat completely EMPTY right behind us. We politely asked multiple times if we could move to one of those tables, especially since I had to keep turning my chair just to watch the game! The manager was dismissive, rude, and completely uninterested in accommodating our request. Instead of finding a reasonable solution, he repeatedly ignored our concerns and insisted those tables were reserved for larger parties. The host also explained that they needed to keep the tables available in case additional reservations came through. Seriously? What kind of management prioritizes hypothetical customers over paying customers who are already inside the establishment? And guess what? Those tables remained EMPTY while we were there! Meanwhile, actual customers were packed into uncomfortable corners like sardines. This is where the lack of management skills becomes painfully obvious. A sports bar should know how to maximize its limited space, accommodate guests, and create an enjoyable game-day experience. Instead, management seemed more concerned about protecting empty tables than taking care of the customers who had already shown up and were ready to spend money. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the experience either. The menu was extremely limited, the food options were not particularly appealing, and there was little flexibility to substitute or add different sides. The overall service was equally underwhelming. By halftime, we had enough. We left and went to another nearby sports bar to finish watching the game, where we could actually enjoy ourselves. My biggest disappointment wasn't just the cramped space or limited menu. It was the management's attitude and unwillingness to provide even basic customer service. A good manager knows how to listen, problem-solve, and make guests feel welcome. None of those qualities were demonstrated during our visit. Game Changers needs a serious change in management approach, seating policies, and customer service standards. Empty tables don't generate revenue, and treating customers as an inconvenience is certainly not how you build a loyal clientele. We came ready to enjoy the game, order food and drinks, and spend our afternoon there. Instead, we left frustrated and took our business elsewhere. Definitely NOT a place I would recommend for watching a football game, especially if you're expecting comfortable seating, decent food options, and management that actually values its customers.

She's a good egg who's seen it all, but seems to treat every day like it's possible to get through without any problems. There's no food for sale here, but they're happy to have you bring or order in anything you like, and you'll often see people at the bar eating meals from the many local restaurants. There are 8 TV's mounted around the place (plenty for its size), so you can watch a game if you like, and the digital jukebox is easy to manage from an app on your phone. Plus, they've got solid, reliable WiFi, in case you're sick of sitting in Starbucks. Drinks are modestly priced and generously poured, and there's ample parking, both in the lot out back and on the un-metered street out front.

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!
