Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Glendale

We always have a wonderful time at Moxie - the food is great, service personable and the bar is outstanding. Highest praise

Another incredible meal at Lake Park Bistro! I had the Hangar Steak and Frites for the first time and was so glad I ordered it. The steak was juicy and cooked perfectly (I ordered it Medium with some pink). I got the herb butter on the side and can honestly say I barely used it as the steak did not need anything additional. The frites were nice and crispy. I dipped the frites in a side of garlic aioli, highly recommend!! I enjoyed my meal with a smooth glass of Pinot Noir, which paired well with the steak. I had a window seat and enjoyed watching the snow fall outside. And I love sitting in this room and enjoying the mood- romantic dim lighting with lamps and candles. The service here is always top-notch. I never feel rushed and the servers are always very attentive and friendly. Shout out to Morgan for being so lovely!

Great post UWM graduation brunch/lunch spot! Breakfast potatoes still great. Everyone was pleased.

We had a great meal at Avli! We got there earlier than our reservation, so we had a nice drink at the bar and then were seated promptly at our appointed time. We did a variety of hot and cold meze and made a meal out of that. Favorites included: dolmades, zucchini fritters, octopus and an amazing dish with cheese and peppered fig. Service was attentive without being intrusive. I had been to Avli previously but my 3 guests had not—everyone began to plan return visits.

I ordered Chicken Liver Dumpling Soup and Crab Cakes. Both were outstanding. Our waiter, Ryan, (who I believe is the son of the owner) is efficient and friendly. It was a very pleasant lunch experience. If you have not tried this restaurant, I suggest you do. Prices are fair with the quality of the food. The cocktails are also delicious.
