Pacific Palisades

Ordered several items here but really liked the mac salad and the burger. Hamburger steak plate comes with a lot of food for the price. They also have regular and mini plates and I love that. Mushrooms in the chicken and mushrooms plate were large and tasted great, cooked just right.

So far... this place seems nice. Only thing is, there's a gulch to drive through. Other than that, it's on the corner & visible. The maps location was incorrect. It actually stopped 800ft before the center at a persons house. So, make sure you see a small looking park with a swimming pool. THATS IT! You should look anywhere else.

Attended a party here today. a birthday party for my friends son and wow! such a good place to throw a party! theres a park, pool & a hall in one area. if you rent this place, the space is pretty big & it fits alot of people. my friend had 4 long tables for her guests. there's also a stage in case you have entertainment. i love how that area is gated, so if you have kids, they can run down to the playground area and play without running on the road or anything :) the pool also has a lifeguard. they have rules though, no drinking & smoking there. I would suggest you make a party there! its a very cute space & you can have it all to yourselves!

This review is strictly for the management/property coordinator. I had my daughters first birthday here in July of 2016 and let me tell you, the lady or people in charge of this venue have absolutely no decency at all. I'm only now getting around to writing this review because I'm still livid about how things transpired. First of all, I had to send a money order deposit along with my signed contract to hold the location - which is fine; however, after doing so I had an extremely difficult time touching bases with anyone at Pacific Palisades to confirm receipt of my deposit. Eventually, someone was able to confirm this. This took about a month to confirm! Moving on, the week leading up to the party, again, I couldn't get in touch with anyone to verify arrangements to pick up the keys so pursuant to the contract stating that I shall pick up the keys the MORNING of the party at 8:00 am. that's what I did. I'm sure you can guess, but NO ONE was there to surrender the keys. After calling the contact # I was horrified to hear the voicemail say that the lady who had been the primary contact would be on vacation until the following week! This certainly sent me into a frenzy, but I decided to come back when their office hours stated they would be open, with the hopes of her replacement being there and this all being a big misunderstanding. Well, 1:00 pm rolls around (mind you, my daughters party began at 5 and set up was to begin at 2 pm) and not a soul in sight! At this point you can't even imagine the extent to how stressed out I was. I called multiple numbers to find a solution to this and no one from parks & rec, the city and county, or state could be of any use. Wtf?! Not to mention, I kept getting forwarded phone numbers of one useless party to another. Fast forward to 2 pm and my vendors are starting to arrive and the gate to the facility is still locked. This is about the time I nearly lost my damn mind and literally felt I was going to have a heart attack! This was my daughters 1st birthday and there were over 200 people that would be attending the party so, I decided this party was going to go on even if we had to take the gate off ourselves. Which I ended up doing - clearly out of desperation. Long story short, I made my father in law literally unhinge the gates so we could begin setting up and I told my vendors to go ahead and get started - I was completely okay to face the repercussions of doing this and was going to be the sole person accountable for instructing everyone to continue with preparations.Many other details are left out about further inconveniences presented to us on that day, but for the sake of trying to wrap this review up I won't include. Please feel free to message me should you wish to know what those details are. I'm inclined to warn any family about using the location as I would never want anyone to go through the nightmare I did with them. 3 pm rolls around and the primary contact lady whose voicemail stated she was on vacation comes strolling onto the property. She then says she happened to be passing by and saw something going on so she came to check it out. When I explained to her the situation she had the AUDACITY to tell me that "oh, normally people pick up the keys the day before so they're not stressed the day of".Are you kidding me?! Maybe if I was able to get in touch with someone that whole week I would have! Also, if you're not going to honor your contract get rid of it! This place is just trying to scam you. The police officer who monitored our party (required if alcohol is present) even said that he's heard of similar situations like I went through happening pretty commonly with these people and that venue. All in all, my daughters 1st birthday turned out fantastic for her and everyone else. Other than the horrendous experience with management, her bday was definitely one to remember. All other vendors were amazing. Save yourself the headache and stress and seek elsewhere for your next event.

Attended a 1st birthday party here this evening. The venue is located in a residential area and parking is tight. If parking on premises is taken; you need to park on the street. It is a pavilion so it has an "outdoorsy" feel which I don't mind except it was extremely hot. The pavilion is well kept and able hold a lot of people. There is a kitchen area to hold food and a stage for entertainment. There is a big grassy area and a playground; great for kids to play. There is a pool however the party I was at was not able to enter that area; so not sure if you can rent the pool area out also. It got cooler as the sun went down but then there were a lot of these little bugs flying around, then crawling on you and getting in your hair...Yikes! The venue is a bring-your-own-food and drinks kind of place. You can bring alcohol but it must be consumed on the property and not outside of the gates. I didn't use the restroom but my male family members commented that the men's restroom was not clean. There were toilet paper and paper towels all over the floor but it could've just been an isolated incident and not always like that. I guess it's all up to the guests in how clean they keep the restrooms. I'd consider having a party here.
