    Bacari GDL is hands down my favorite restaurant in L.A.! If you haven’t tried this place, you’re truly missing out. The food is consistently excellent every time I visit, and the ambience is both hip and incredibly fun. The staff here is exceptional—they make you feel like the most important guest, even when the place is packed. A special shoutout to Christian, Cal, and Gee—thank you for being such wonderful people. Your kindness and attentiveness always stand out. Oh, did I mention they are funny as well? I’m already looking forward to my next visit—see you all tomorrow!

    Shinsen Gumi is one of the best Japanese dining experiences in Los Angeles, if not California. They started in a little shop in Gardena and have grown a lot over the years. They have excellent food and I always walk away happy. Great for casual dining with friends. Some shops are louder than others. But this is by design. Japanese restaurants like this in Japan are loud, friendly places. You don't go there to quietly chat. Keep up the good work and the great food!

    Our party of 4 had afternoon tea on 9/1/24 and it was our first time at Madeline. Everything was wonderful! The main dining room was elegant. The harpist was very talented and played beautifully. All of us really enjoyed our teas (lavender black & lychee oolong). We ordered the European and Madeline high tea. There was plenty of food and we all left very full. The French onion soup and salad were really good. And the scones - omg! The scones were so delicious and some of the best that we’ve ever had. Service was great and attentive. 10/10 experience! We will be coming back.
