What a great local hang! Great food, nice bar, warm ambiance, friendly staff and great music! We will definitely be going back. We had the Bleu burger, soup, and mac n cheese pops! DEE-lish! Big B Brenner Blues Blue the house away. read more

My girlfriend and I were in the area and were looking for a place to grab dinner at. I had the Tuning Fork in my bookmarks for a while, so we decided to go there. For 8 pm on a Saturday night it was busy but not packed. I made reservations just in case. The ambiance was dark and rustic, but intimate at the same time. The menu had a good variety and was fairly extensive, and they even had a specials menu. I was really craving salmon so I ordered the salmon salad. My girlfriend ordered the BBQ burger off of the specials menu. My salad was delicious! It was very flavorful and the salmon was fresh and moist. My girlfriend was happy with her burger and I also had a bite, agreeing that it was good. Our waitress was friendly as well. Overall a cool place to grab a meal at! read more

Well we used to like coming here. Suddenly you need a reservation and they act very elitist about it. He told us we could sit anywhere outside so we proceeded to grab a table (outside) close to the door so it'd be warmer. Apparently we couldn't sit there either because there were only two of us, that could've been made clearer. The place was empty and there were many many empty tables outside. After making us feel unwelcome and like we were a problem, we just left. I like feeling welcome at my local restaurants and there are many that definitely do that so it's not worth the hassle and we likely won't be back. read more

BURGER AND BEER ALERT Came in here on a Friday night for food and drinks. There was a bit of a wait but only took us 15-20 minutes to get seated with no reservations. All of the staff was super nice and attentive, from the hostess to the servers. The ambiance here was nice and relaxing. This is a small spot and is one of the more upscale, cleaner gastropubs I've been to in the area. On to the drinks and food. They only have beer and wine but they have good selection of both. They had about 10 different beers on tap and about 50-60 in bottles. All kinds of options here with something for everyone. I went for the Eel River Berry ($6), nice fruity light beer. Their dinner food menu is small but still solid and consists of some salads, soups, appetizers (munchies), flatbread, burgers, and a few other meat plates (fish, steak, and chicken). They also have a few dessert options. I went for the Truffle Fries ($7) and the Cumberland Bleu Burger ($12). These were skinny fries with truffle oil and parmesan cheese, they were great and were gone within a few minutes. The burger was delicious, the medium meat was well seasoned and mixed with the cucumbers and chipotle garlic ranch sauce. The crumbled bleu cheese was great, but a bit overpowering. They could have used about half on this burger. Great gastropub experience. Looking forward to coming back again for dinner or lunch. Solid 4.5 Star read more

Wow dammmmmmm this Burger was gooooooooood Salad was just perfect this was my 1st time ordering food from this restaurant I WILL BE BACK parking is hard to fine read more

The servers here are super nice and the vibe is very relaxed. I've only been during the day, and used to go on Sundays after the farmer's market. The asparagus soup is fantastic, and I really like the hummus and veggies too. Really like the breakfast/brunch options. Overall recommend! The only reason I knocked off a star is that the food can be a little inconsistent in my experience, and it can get loud in there. But for a midday brunch, I enjoy it! read more

Had a late lunch here, food was great! Big portions (had the club sandwich )and service was good. They did not have that many people at that time on a Saturday. Mostly people at the bar, will be back during the week. read more

Tuning Fork - Gastropubs Near Me - Studio City, California

I love all the restaurants in this cute area so my cousins and I decided to give this place a try. We walked in and were seated right away. The restaurant itself is cute but that's it. We ordered drinks and I ordered a ktown mule.. I've had better. The food is a bit pricey and I ordered fish and chips which took foreverrrrrr even though it says on the bottom of the menu that you should be patient that everything is made fresh but it wasn't worth the wait at all. The food was so oil and mostly breading less fish. I won't be coming back but the fries are good. read more

The food here was delicious! We ordered the jerk chicken and the fish and chips. The jerk chicken was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. I'll have to take pictures next time I go, because I'll definitely be back! read more

Service is always great, food is always good and the cherry on top is the live music. One of my favorite local spots when I want to hear some tunes, watch a game or just have some a quiet dinner. Bonus: outdoor patio is child friendly and our little one comes along often and easily! read more

A recommendation led our family to spend our Saturday evening dinner here, and it was a lovely intimate atmosphere. The menu wasn't huge, but it has great options for those of all diets. I had the vegan pot pie which was tasty, but personally I think it could have been seasoned slightly more- but that didn't stop me from enjoying! Our table shared the mac & cheese pops which were out of this world delicious!! The asparagus soup is also worth mentioning for its tastiness. The pizza/flatbreads are a little small but are cooked perfectly, I would recommend pairing these with another item. It's a good place to share several smaller items with those you dine with, as opposed to having one massive entree. The dinner munchies menu is where I would look for items to share. I'll have to return again to test our their lunch & brunch menus. read more

Tuning Fork - Yummy sliders and beer - Gastropubs Near Me - Studio City, California

Delicious! The burgers and the beers are top notch. The lava cake!! So good. The live music is a bit loud to talk over but nice to listen to. I want to try more of the burgers so we will be back. The fries were ok, just regular shoestring and could have been crispier, but everything else was super yummy!! read more

I don't recommend this place. We were excited for the "gastropub" but the beer selection wasn't that good, they messed up our beers and they were rancid. The waiter promised to give us the next one because they messed up, at the end it was in our bill. Ciders were $9 The food is crazy expensive and it's below average, the sliders are tiny (3) truffle mushroom burger sounds amazing, but only had 3 mushrooms. Fries were $6, and not good. Water was warm. Saturday night they had a singer, but she was so loud for this tiny restaurant, you couldn't hear the waiter or your own party. read more

5 stars to them and 5 stars to my wife that found this place for a quick sunday lunch for us. The decor is rustic fitting with the style of "new american" dining and i loved the many mirrors they had there giving the place the illusion of space and a nice effect with the natural lighting from out side. The waitier was very helpful and fast, truly 5 star service. We even had to return one dish for a quick change and he was very helpful. We ordered the tomato soup it was well done and tasty (a bit salty though) with some bread toast on the side. A good starter indeed. The main cuorse was the all or nothing burger it was SUPERB! Every ingredient was in the right amount, the meat was perfect, the onion rings amazing, the egg was perfectly done not to runny. Perfect burger indeed. For desert my wife ordered the brownie it was nice but a bit too sweet for my taste. read more

I came here to meet up with a friend. Drinks and food were good, not amazing, but good. I would come here again. The service was great!

Cute location in Studio City, a little off the beaten track (a nice surprise!). The restaurant itself was adorable, I loved the feel of it. Modern yet elegant. I loved that they have a yelp check-in for free fries or chips, we went with the fries which were good. For dinner I had the all or nothing burger. (Double Meat, Fried Egg, Applewood Bacon, Cheddar, Avocado, Red Leaf, Tomato, Pickles, Chipotle Garlic Ranch, Brioche). Obviously I'm not on a diet...it wasn't bad, nothing to write home about. My friend had one of the veggie flatbreads (I can't remember which one) and didn't seem to enjoy it. Though I loved the vibe itself, I'm not sure if this is a place I'd go back to. Parking was easy - street parking meters which is free in the evening. read more

Cool spot, great music. Wait staff a little surly when I was there. I didn't eat but the food looked good. The music was great.

Let me start with the Truffle Fries because those are so addicting. My friends and I had 2 orders of it. Perfect to start off with and on side with my burger. As for my burger, I had the Light My Fire; with house salsa, habernero pepper jack, ghost pepper jam (which was the perfect kick of spice), tempura onion ring, red leaf lettuce, and chipotle aioli. If you can not handle spice this might not be the burger for you. Now if you like a kick of spice then I recommend this. I didn't think it was too hot to handle, but then I do eat a lot spicy food. The only reason why this place didn't get a 5 star from me because the service was a slow but it was understandable since their was one waitress working at the time. Also, they were out of my friend's first choice for drinks and food. They are know for their beer selections but they seem to be out of a lot of our first choice. Hopefully, next time I stop by they'll be fully stocked. read more

Tuning Fork - Truffle Fries are best with beers.. - Gastropubs Near Me - Studio City, California

I've been here a couple times and both did not disappoint. The interior has a cool vibe -- not too big, but I've never had to wait to sit down. In my opinion, the menu is excellent. Lots of healthy options, which is what I tend to look for when choosing where to dine out. However, if you're eating with a friend who could care less about what they put in their body, they have options for them as well. Honestly, probably the best hummus I've ever had -- and I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur. Full bar, friendly staff, delicious food. You really can't go wrong! The only downside to this spot is the parking -- street only and it can be tough around peak meal times. read more

Hi. Went to Tuning Fork once and did enjoy the food. However, they got my email address cause it was online order. Now, no matter how many times I "unsubscribe" the emails just keep on coming! Super annoying! read more

Yummy place. I really enjoyed the veggie patty was so delicious and handmade. Service was cool. Atmosphere is quaint. Recommend for lunch. Very vegan friendly menu items. read more

I went here looking for a yummy, giant and delicious burger. They did not disappoint! I got the All-or-Nothing, which has avocado, egg, fried onion rings and more. The burger at this point would have been enough in retrospect, but as a glutton I got an extra patty ... and DAMN. The burger was so massive I had to eat it in halves. LEGITIMATELY it was as big as my face. They have great sides and a good beer selection. Also, the service is good. Highly recommend! read more

Solid burgers, intimate space with great service! Maybe I got lucky but also found street parking easily. Looks like they do live music too

Came here on a Saturday for a late lunch/early dinner. After hiking, we were starving and thirsty. Overall, service was a tad slow, but I loved the free yelp check - in. He even offered to upgrade to truffle fries for free. Can't go wrong with that. They were pretty delicious! I love how flexible and customizable their burger choices are. I was debating between a veggie burger or a salad, but ended up with the shaggy wrap (1/2). It was MORE than enough and only $8 for half. Super delicious, literally all my favorite things in one wrap. I didn't even ask for something off or on the side (which is rare). It came with a side of chips but I made my friends eat them instead. The place is great to grab a beer, watch a game and eat some food! read more

Tuning Fork - Vegan wrap (half) - Gastropubs Near Me - Studio City, California

Overrated. Wings solid. Flatbread good. Mediocre tap list. Server scoffed at the notion of caring about the difference between a west coast ipa and a hazy, and she works at a gastropub. Super nice dude got the heater going for me. 3 stars = solid according to Yelp and this doesn't transcend that at all. read more

I forking love this place. I have celiac disease, and they're always accommodating with gluten free and pescatarian options. And everything is so, so delicious! My boyfriend and I choose this as one of our favorite date night places to grab dinner and drinks. We've yet to pick a night when they have karaoke or a live band going, but I'm sure that would be fun, too! read more

The good: Excellent service, kind staff. Great location. The bad: Food is really spicy. Every dish but the salad. It's not good food, dunno who is eating here and saying otherwise. Skip this place. No parking, no valet, street parking is fraught with homeless. Beer and wine only, the icing on this shit-cake read more

Located close to home, this fine small place has outstanding food, great service and easy location We hadn't been here before and we found it comfortable with small to mid size tables and a nice bar. Lots of craft beers and some very good original dishes. The servers were helpful and very nice. My wife ordered a burger and I had Housemade Jerk chicken which was amazing. As a side we had a tuning fork dish with mashed cauliflower and 40% russet potatoes . There were two large TV's on the wall which were playing sports but our server asked us if we wanted to see anything. Very cool for a Studio City eatery. The whole experience was very cool and we'll be back for more. See our pictures of the burger, mashed and Jerk Chicken. read more

So cute! I had somehow never been here but I guess it's because it's a little tucked away. The service was great, our asparagus hit the spot, and the cheeseboard was lovely. Will be back! read more

Really like the food here! The only problem (and I've noticed this about Studio City, in general) is: the service could be better. I went to watch a basketball game (even though the inside is super small, they do have a small bar with a TV). The guys at the bar were, eh. Not the friendliest. But I'd say definitely give it a shot because they have an incredible burger (which is hard to find as most of them are overpriced and ridiculously greasy and gross). The one I had is called "Light My Fire." It was sooooo good. Just because of the food, I'll definitely go back again. Keep in mind, unless you're a local like me, don't count on finding parking easily on Ventura Place. However, there are a lot more parking spots just a few blocks away on Radford and the streets that intersect. read more

This place quickly became my favorite new spot as soon as I walked in. It's in the heart of Studio City, and it just has that "local joint" feel to it. My friend and I were in the mood to try a new place out and decided to give this restaurant a go. There's only street parking, so you better have good parking karma. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a nice gentleman who told us to sit by the window since it's the best seat in the house. And he was right. The lighting and the cozy feel by the window really was enjoyable. He then came back to take our drink orders and we quickly filled him on the fact that it's our first time there. He was very kind to spend some time going over the menu and helping us pick our wines. He then recommended the Mac N Cheese Balls, and the asparagus soup. So of course we trusted his recommendations and ordered both. I quickly noticed that he's a one man show. He greeted customers, helped them with their orders, taking down their orders and bringing the food out as well. There were maybe 10-12 people in the whole place but I was very impressed. He was very talkative and very interesting and funny with all of the customers. Not long after our wines were served the Mac N Cheese Balls and the soups came out. Boy oh boy! They were both absolutely delicious. The Mac N Cheese Balls came with a side sauce that was a bit spicy but works so well with them. And the asparagus soup was very fresh and light. We also ordered a chicken sandwich and a burger, again both his recommendations. He also mentioned that the truffle fries were a must try, so I ordered that we my side to my sandwich. While we waited I could see people walking in and going straight to the bar area. That's when I knew this really is the cool local joint. Everyone was so friendly and talkative. It gave the whole place a very light atmosphere. At last - our sandwiches came out! And they both looked like they belonged on a billboard poster. They were almost too pretty to eat! So we dug in and they were both extremely delicious. My chicken sandwich was on the healthy and light side, yet full of flavor. The burger was very tender and tasteful. We couldn't have asked for better recommendations. I highly recommend this place, both for the food and for a good time! read more

Yummy food! They have a delicious take on the Ceaser salad by adding crispy fried capers! Their hamburgers are juicy and on a soft brioche bun. They have Gluten free buns if you need. Their French fries are out of this world delish! Customer service is always VERY GOOD!!!! Great choice of beers on tap and hand crafted cocktails. So glad they're still open, we missed them during the pandemic. Lastly, it's a great place to hang out! read more

Wow. WHAT A GEM! The entire experience from top to bottom was fantastic. Vegan Shephards Pie, Truffle Fries & the Bread Pudding Dessert was something to die for. The service was amazing. We sat outside and it was just a charming cozy vibe. I will be back to try the Short Ribs, Jerk Chicken, Burgers etc... My friend and I were so impressed we separately ordered Thanksgiving Side dishes and the Maple Pumpkin Pie for our holiday feasts coming up. It was genuinely a phenomenal experience. read more

I have been scouring LA for good burgers for the past several years, and the Tuning Fork is as good as anywhere I have found. Today, I came in for a late lunch and largely deferred to my server's recommendations. Here's what happened. I wanted to try the "Light My Fire" burger but was a little hesitant because it has ghost pepper jam as an ingredient. I mentioned this to my server, he told me that it was his favorite burger and that the spiciness was not just for spiciness' sake but was a way to bring in more interesting flavors. He also said that, while it definitely had a certain amount of heat, it wasn't so hot as to be inaccessible. I also wanted to try a flight of beer. My server asked me what kind of beer I like. I told him that I tend to lean towards IPAs and other lighter beers. He brought me back a flight of four delicious beers. I couldn't have been happier. In fact, I might have to track down the Blood Orange IPA so that it can start making appearances in my home bar. Thanks to the Tuning Fork for a great experience! If you've read it this far, you should give it a try. It made for a great lunch on a lazy sunday. read more

Really enjoyed the happy hour appetizers and beer and wine selection. Waiter was super nice to seat my husband early while I was stuck in traffic and making my way there. Very cozy atmosphere with a touch of elegance. Definitely recommend the mac n cheese balls (puffs) like the other reviewers. read more

Went on a Monday night at 6.30pm. Place was empty but ....we figured it was Monday at 6:30! Food was just fine. Portions were super small. Service was just fine. And the prices!!! Ridiculous. Our dinner was over $150. Not worth it at all won't be coming back. read more

Food is very good. This is a small place so get reservations and if you want to be there for the music make the reservation around 9pm. Small bar area 10 or 12 chairs. Overall a great time, food, drinks, service and music read more

Our server was very nice and apologized multiple times for how long our food took. But it did take forever. Also, my cocktail was super watery. Oh, and the seating is super uncomfortable. But I'm giving 3 stars because they were nice and offered to take our first round of drinks off the bill because of how long the food took. read more
