    Stopped by here for happy hour a couple of times, and each experience was great. First off, shoutout to the bartender. I didn't get his name, but he is always welcoming and on point with the cocktails. The happy hour goes until 8 PM, which is unheard of! Love that. I recommend the patatas bravas and calamari if you want some light bites along with your food. Parking is very easy as the Cardiff Garage is right across the street.

    This place is always amazing and has great happy hour. The drinks are always balanced well and the bar tenders are very nice and well versed in their craft! They have great happy hour food and such a reasonable price especially for culver city. love it here!

    We got 2 rounds these were so good!

    I just found my new favorite neighborhood haunt! My friends and I finally made our way to The Lounge, which is located at the back of Ugo restaurant. This cozy yet chic spot what's the perfect place for us to make a pit stop after our dinner down the road. Once we got there we were definitely excited to see that they have a late night happy hour which we definitely be taking advantage of at a future date. But the main reason we came by is that one of our friends is a big fan of espresso martinis and on yelp, this place came up with number one as an option for us to check out and it did not disappoint! 10/10 for their espresso martinis (made by their incredible bartender Moses). We ordered 2 rounds! Our server Emma was also fantastic...she was attentive and friendly. Also we ordered some late night desserts which I already knew about they wer known for, but we went for some of their tiramisu and gelato... Which definitely was a great way to end the night.

    Me drinking the best martini!

    Half off drinks until seven, absolutely delicious. Cool vibes. Try the martini that has cucumber and vodka. I forgot what it's called but it's amazing. It's like fourth or fifth on the menu.

    There weren't many people when we came in. We could sit anywhere. W operated indoor setting at a corner booth. It can sit 6. They did ask us if the bar started getting full would we mind sharing the space. Of course we said no we didn't. My Martini was ok, I tasted more lychee than strawberry. It was a bit tart. The old fashioned was good. The Ricotta crostini was good, the only thing with this dish is that the bread was still soft and not fully toasted. The flavor was there, a bit sweet, but the green apples balances the flavors. The pistachios were a nice touch. The shrimp scampi was good. Only 4 shrimp with the serving though. It was buttery with a barely there kick. It would have been nice to have a small side of bread to accompany it. The service was good. I did see the whole team help each other, including the mixologists.

    Absolutely my favorite bar in Downtown Culver, and the happy hour is amazing! Love the Lounge! :)

    Went here to try their Dine LA menu and happy to say I was not disappointed and will be coming…read moreback!! The cost was $35 for one appetizer, one main, and one dessert. The buffalo cauliflower serving size was crazy awesome and super delicious. The Caesar was light but yummy. The fish and chips came out super hot with various sauces for dipping. Not pictured is the dessert we got, the flourless chocolate cake and bread pudding, which left us super stuffed. Honestly, was a 10/10. They timed all of the food perfectly so one came after another and as mentioned, it was definitely bang for your buck. I'm excited to come back and try some more of the items in the future!

    We went for the DineLA menu, and despite a few minor issues, I'll definitely be back…read more Unfortunately, the location isn't ideal. The area is prone to heavy traffic, and parking can be a challenge. We eventually found metered parking after fighting our way through traffic, which wasn't exactly a pleasant way to start the meal. Once inside, though, things improved. The service was good, and so was the food. We both ordered the fish and chips. My spouse started with the tomato soup, while I had the Caesar salad. I have to admit, the salad was a bit of a disappointment--it was somewhat soggy. I tried my spouse's tomato soup, though, and thought it was very good. We both really enjoyed the fish and chips. It very much felt like an Irish Pub, If I worked in the area, I could see myself stopping by to have a drink and to hang out with friends. For dessert, I had the bread pudding, which I loved. My spouse had the lava cake and said he enjoyed it as well. Overall, the traffic and parking are a drawback, and the Caesar salad missed the mark, but the rest of the meal was very good. Between the food and the service, there's enough here to bring me back.

We opted for the wings and the crispy rice salad - boy, did they have a nice spice kick to them. Flavor was incredibly great and she was gasping for air due to the spice level lol My favorite drink of the evening was the "Don't fear the reaper" - it was a twist on a dirty martini which I already love. Huge applause to the 'tenders, Colton and Roman, for being workhorses behind the bar. I always have mad appreciation for those who are able to multitask with so many things happening at once. The place isn't small, but also not overly huge - just the right 'Goldilocks' amount of space.

I was blown away by the service. We were seated quickly in a hip and classy, but very casual sitting area outside, and our server was extremely kind and helpful with menu questions from start to finish. Drink-wise, I ordered the frozen slushee, and it was delicious. For our food, we had the bread plate (delicious), green papaya salad (amazing balance of sweet and spicy notes), Brussels sprouts (on the spicy side, but so good), and potato wedges (great crunch, and the aioli was superb). We each got our own larger plate: I ordered the moo yang, which was absolutely terrific with a great balance of flavors. My spouse ordered the yaki udon and only had great things to say! The show-stopper of the night, however, was the s'mores ice cream. Order this. Just do it -- you'll thank me later! Plenty of parking nearby in lots, and so much to do in this area of Culver City! This will be our new splurge spot, as it's somewhat pricey overall, but *definitely* worth every penny. I can't wait to return!

No one checked in with us, acknowledged the wait, or apologized until after we had already paid the bill. A staff member--possibly a manager--eventually stopped by and asked how everything was. We said it was just okay, and he then asked how many times we had been to Laurel Grill. When we told him it was our third visit, he had the audacity to respond, "Well, come back again." That response was incredibly tone-deaf given the experience we had just had. After waiting 35 minutes past our reservation with no communication or apology, the appropriate response would have been to acknowledge the inconvenience and make an effort to address it--not essentially tell us to come back. We've enjoyed Laurel Grill in the past, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Unfortunately, the way the situation was handled left a very sour taste in our mouth. After spending $180 plus gratuity--I doubt we will return. Solve the problem now, not next time.

It doesn't just look good, it pulls you into a different mood the moment you walk in. The space is thoughtfully split. One side has a cozy fireplace with lounge seating that feels intimate and elevated. The other side opens up into the bar with dining tables up front, giving it a more social, slightly livelier energy. Drinks are absolutely amazing. Crafted well, balanced, and consistent. But what really stands out is how the ambiance takes over the entire experience. The crowd shows up. Well dressed, confident, and adds to the overall vibe instead of taking away from it. Some places you go just for drinks. Here, the ambiance takes it to another level. It feels like an experience, not just a night out.
