Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Sherman Oaks

All of the dishes are great. We are a group of 4 and we ordered a bunch of as la carte dishes to share. All of the appetizers/ small plates are good. The truffle risotto taste good but the rice is a bit on the hard side. The bread and rosemary butter is divine. For the main we opted for the duck breast which our group enjoyed; however, the $110 rib eye taste just okay despite the great plating. We think there is something off with the cut of the meat. The two desserts are simple but flavorful. Overall we still feel like the restaurant deserves a 4.5 stars.

The staff was absolutely amazing when we came on Christmas Day. Our party was running past 15 minutes and after arriving they were able to accommodate us after waiting patiently to be squeezed in. I can’t thank the manager and his staff enough for how amazing and their graciousness for allowing us to be able to experience their Christmas menu! Thank you again and happy holidays!

My third time there, the service is always good but tonight our waiter appeared like magic whenever we needed something and the food was super good as always. 

Food is amazing. We had the sea bass and some incredible sushi rolls. Cocktails were also delicious. The only negative is the booths are not great for your back as they offer no lumbar support at all. Everything else was fantastic.

Excellent food and service was very attentive. I had an early dinner around 5:30 so it wasn’t crowded at all—so quiet and service was great. The special was chicken pozole and it did not disappoint. Followed by the The Gobernador tacos, then a guava empanada for dessert. The tacos had such great flavor along with the jicama slaw—perfect addition. Go to Socalo, you won’t regret it.
