Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Van Nuys

We truly had an outstanding experience, start to finish. Given the popularity of Lawry’s, you’d expect it to feel a little mass market, right? Not at all. We felt very well cared for throughout. And the prime rib was as excellent as ever. Many thanks to Michael, who gave us a great history lesson - Lawry’s set so many trends. Thanks to everyone at Lawry’s!

We have been here many times. The food is amazing, the service is great and we leave planning our next meal there. Thank you Oleg and Rina! Best place in town.

Mistral is one of the rare restaurants that serves equaly faboulos meat ,poultry as well as seafood dishes. The menu is extensive. Yesterday we had gravlax for appetizer.Main courses were osso buco and branzino. Mistral has been the top restaurant in the valley for over thirty years. In addition of wonderful food,wait stuff is spot on. Street and valet parking

Very great experience dining here! I usually come here when it’s super packed but luckily the day I went (and the time) it was not packed at all. With it being less busy, the ambiance was nice and quiet. I was able to hear my conversations. The food was amazing!! The Sweet Corn Agnolotti was very good but lacked a sufficient amount for how much the dish is. The Spicy Pomodoro was amazing!! One of my favorites here and for the amount of pasta it has, it is worth your money. I was not expecting to like the Banana Tiramisu but I enjoyed it so much! I wish I got two but I ended up getting so full haha. Overall 9/10 experience!

Old school steakhouse vibes. Smart casual or dress up for a retro formal not fussy experience, done casually with family familiarity. Food was all excellent - again not fancy or fussy presentation, just good food on a plate. Owners Sophia & Boris set a “everyone is friends” neighborhood vibe, and deliver a lovely experience with warmth and a solid meal. Great for family dinners. Recommend!
