The Most Flavorful Venues & Event Spaces in Los Angeles

Daily Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (485) • $$

"Daily Grill is all chill, no frills casual laid-back chic. They have a huge dining space, private room for events and large bar area. It's definitely got a touch of sports bar energy but in a very regal way, minimalist decor with inviting lighting, warm earthy tones and some signage for specials like their happy hour Located across from the Burbank Airport (my favorite airport), the DG has it's own main entrance and restaurant set-up directly off Hollywood Way, but also is connected to the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel - you can actually see the hall directly to the hotel just left of the main entrance for Daily.Entire place is clean, well spaced out and the service is genuine. I attended a uniform club formal event here with my boyfriend's group. We had a small banquet room (across from the bar area) with a U-shaped table configuration making it easy to share our orders and staff to serve.Our server was an amazing guy (whose name escapes me... Dominic... Will... I'm way off - young twenty something brunette-ish). He served us everything and being a group of at least 20 I was impressed - he got help once from another server passing by, but honestly didn't need it. Being in a group and them having planned ahead the prefix menu was a streamline of courses offered by the Grill of some of their best dishes. The spinach and artichoke dip was a hit w/ sourdough crostini. I had at the veggie accompanying them (carrots). Mixed green salad stellar, big - a perfect set up for entrees - balsamic all day for dressing. The selections for the Chicken Piccata (mashed potatoes + grilled asparagus), Pan-Seared Salmon (brown rice + grilled asparagus) or Grilled Skirt Steak (mashed Potatoes + grilled veggies) were had by some of each. The Steaks and Salmon seemed to be the best of the options for those enjoying. My guy is a huge seafood person so his really enjoyed his meal. For the veggie option I was offered a huge Angel Hair Pasta Pomodoro which was incredible, but quite the messy dish. Thankful I was in "leather" (vegan leather) formal wear to my shirt was the easiest thing to clean off, but wow so much rich sauce w/ chopped tomatoes, garlic, basil, extra virgin olive oil and they added some veggies in the mix. I enjoyed it immensely as I knew this was one of the vegan options at daily grill aside from their Pesto Pasta, many of their sides and some salads.Great drink selection from wine to beer to a great bar, soft drinks, classic sips and more... like zero proof cocktails/mocktails and brews (Heineken and Samuel Adams).Definitely a fan and hope to dine in soon for a group function, happy hour or social night, maybe even a date night ;)Serving up travellers and locals from 6:30am until 10pm all seven days of the week. Q Tips:ADA compliant entrance as well as accessibility.Restrooms are clean and easy to access.Parking can get a little full on certain days/nights - but there is more for the hotel also - it's a little more restricted than before as you could easily drive in and out of most area for the hotel or the convention center. Daily Grill does have valet via the Marriott."

H&H Brazilian Steakhouse Downtown LA

★★★★☆ 4.4

"This restaurant is a vibe! I was staying at Hotel Per La across the street and H&H was recommended to my cousin and I. It's conveniently located right across the street from the hotel. We came in for drinks and apps on a Thursday night around 7 PM. We sat at the bar. Reinaldo was our bartender. He was very patient with us and recommended certain items on the menu which I appreciated a lot! He was very nice and professional. I love the ambiance of the restaurant it's super classy and romantic with low lights and beautiful wine bottles from floor to cieling. We went during happy hour! If you check into Yelp you get free champagne!! HAPPY HOUR IS 7 DAYS A WEEK AT THE BAR!! We ordered:Empanadas, street corn, fries, and beef ribsEverything was SO GOOD but my favorites were the fries, street corn and the beef ribs were soooooo tender and the meat was 10/10. If you're ever in the area I would highly recommend coming here! And I will definitely be back"

Ca Del Sole

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"The perfect place for a romantic dinner, meet up with friends or celebrate a special occasion. The entire staff are very friendly and add to the entire experience here. It was a couples evening for me, my hubby, my Sister Nikki B, & her hubby. Our server Darcy was on point. She took our drink order told us about the specials then gave us time to look @ the menu. (Which we appreciated since we were all busy chatting) We ordered: The Skinny Jalapeño Margarita 5/5, Super Fico 5/5, Red Passion Martini 4/5. *They brought fresh bread w/olive tapenade to the table after our drinks came. Food: Barbabietole con Formaggio Di Capra e Avocado (beet salad) 4/5, Divina Di Cesare 5/5, Lasagna 4/5, Squid Ink Linguine 5/5, Capellini Alla Checca 4/5. We enjoyed our dinner and the ambience was perfect. The dinner area was nice and roomy. *The menu includes many vegetarian dishes*Valet Parking - (some street parking depending on the time of day)*I used "Open Table" to make our reservation. *If you are looking for a "chill" evening head to the bar located by the entrance across from the hostess/host station. *Outside seating is also available"

Edendale

★★★★☆ 3.8 (691) • $$

"I quite like this place! Good food, nice service, quirky decor. Pretty good cheeseburger. Great Caesar salad. Nice mocktails. You probably won't get any internet connection in there, so ask for their Wi-Fi info. Parking a bit difficult."

Marvin

★★★★☆ 3.6 (347) • $$$

"I recommend you make a reservation if you plan to dine during a popular time. The restaurant is a nice French style bistro, that seats patrons close together. I had the Cesar salad to start ($20) and steak frites ($69) which were both excellent and well portioned. This restaurant is good for a date, friends or family in town or an evening out. 20% gratuity is automatically applied."

H&H Brazilian Steakhouse Beverly Hills

★★★★☆ 4.4 (287)

"I had my son's first birthday here back in March and we had an incredible experience. The prices were great, the service was very attentive, it was easy to book and contact the staff. We had a very large party of about 130 and took up both private rooms near the entrance. My guests raved about the food and even booked their own children's birthdays there.The parking is attached to the mall, so it's incredibly easy for guests and the venue accommodated my event planners to come and set up/break down beyond the reservation hours.My only negative was that I think the venue counted more adult guests than I had. I tried to tell them about the number of guests that had RSVP'd so it didn't make sense that they counted 5-6 more adults. I think the venue counted vendors that didn't eat... But when we were finishing up and my guests were all leaving it was hard to argue (unless I wanted all the guests to sit back down so we could do a head count)~ so we ended up paying for the additional guests.But even still, we had a great experience and would highly recommend this location and restaurant!"

Castaway Burbank

★★★★☆ 4 • $$$

"Came here to for the views and to try their dineLA - so surprised that it took me so long to make a visit here!Great spot for date night and plentiful seating indoors and outdoors. We were sat outdoors but there were plenty of heaters to keep us warm. DineLA - we both ordered the seafood tower as the starter. This exceeded my expectations because I was not expecting the amount of shrimp and oysters provided. For entree, I ordered the short ribs and this was also a delight and decent portions.For dessert, I ordered the key lime pie, a bit on the smaller side but enjoyable. Try the lava cake if you love chocolate.Parking is valet only."

Margot

★★★★☆ 3.5 • $$$$

"Margot has a great atmosphere, and the service was friendly and attentive. Great for a date night.The server recommended the yellowtail crudo and a selection of tapas. The crudo was fresh and flavorful--definitely a solid choice. Unfortunately, the tapas were disappointing; they tasted like they had been reheated from the frozen section rather than freshly prepared.FYI some of the main entrees are made to order and take a min of 30 minutes to prepare.Overall, it's a nice spot for drinks and ambiance, but I'd stick to the crudo and maybe explore other menu options next time."

Veranda Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (141) • $$$

"Just had lunch with my cousins at Veranda to celebrate my sisters birthday. The atmosphere here is amazing. Beautifully designed patio with a nice bar in the corner. The food was delicious and tastefully plated. I loved the appetizer shrimp. It was so fresh and flavorful. The flatbreads were also amazing so was the beet salad. Let's just say the food was great but I can't say the same for the drinks or the service. But overall I enjoyed the ambiance and the food very much. It's also a great place to host parties. It's a beautiful venue."

Olivia Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.3 (81) • $$

"My favorite aunt died. After we buried her at Forest Lawn we scheduled a dinner for the repast at Olivia Restaurant in burbank. The food was exceptional and the service was even better! So many places fail to provide great service let alone great service and great food. Im talking perfect!I am truly thankful for Harut because it made the ending of a sad day very special, comforting and fulfilling. I would absolutely have my birthday here, or another event. It was so nice and there is plenty of parking everywhere."

Golden Hour

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (70)

"We loved the ambience, drinks and the service! I had an espresso martini and my friend had a watermelon drink the bartender made up for her. It was a beautiful place to visit before and after dinner. We look forward to coming back again!"

Father’s Office

★★★★☆ 3.8 (182) • $$

"This 21 & over gastropub is located in the Garey Building, corner of E. 2nd St. and S. Garey St. in the Arts District, DTLA. Parking can be challenging during peak hrs, but we were lucky enough to find a spot in the "Perfect Parking" alley-style lot @$5/hr on the east side of the building at 929 E. 2nd (although the pub advertises $8 flat parking when you dine with them, we just couldn't figure it out). The area feels really safe. I was hesitant to go here because they do not permit any substitutions and/or modifications to any menu items, but I was extremely satisfied with everything here. We stopped on Saturday evening for dinner, walked right in, and grabbed a table. You scan the menu at your table and go up to the bar to place your order (the menu is also listed at the bar). They'll give you a number, then deliver your food to your table. I tried "The Office Burger," which consists of bacon compote, caramelized onions, arugula, Gruyere & Maytag Blue cheese on French bread accompanied by a "Basket of Sweet Potato Frites" and an "Allagash White" to drink. Everything tasted amazing, the food so fresh cooked to perfection with great presentation. No ketchup and/or mustard, so don't ask LOL. The beer was perfectly cold and satisfying.The bar is clean, spacious, and organized. Closed Monday & Tuesday. Clean restrooms. Overall, we had a great experience at this location."

The Art Room

★★★★★ 4.5 (65) • $$

"Love this little gem in DTLA. The vibes are always great, all of the food is delicious and the art is really cool. I've had the lomo saltado, and multiple tacos. and a friend had the wings and ramen. I am always very impressed with the food. This is a perfect spot for just about any occasion whether grabbing happy hour with friends or making new ones at the bar. Highly recommend the art room."

Spire 73

★★★☆☆ 3.2 • $$$

"The service was Stellar! Patrick was our server and was so attentive. This is a rooftop restaurant and being that it's December he offered us blankets to keep warm in addition to the heaters. Patrick was truly an AMAZING server.I had the mushroom vegetarian dish which was sooooo good. It came with rice and French fries all together making an excellent dish. My mother had the seared salmon- Moms said it was cooked to perfection! This place for date or hanging out with friends. The panoramic view of Los Angeles is absolutely breathtaking. Overall service, food and ambiance all stellar."

L'Avenue Glendale

★★★★★ 4.5 (97)

"Finally an amazing spot in Glendale where you can dance, eat and party until late hours. Everything else closes at 9 or 10 pm around there !!!! Awesome music ( whichever night you prefer ) . Great food !!!! The fish , you got to try the fish!!!! Branzino cooked in salt to die for. Cocktails are unreal !!!! We always end up getting something mixed just for us but pretty much everything we tried was good !! Service impeccable!!! It's our 4th time going there on different nights!!!! Always great experience!!"

Asteria Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.8 (29)

"So glad I found this place! Food here was so delicious and also there was someone playing piano live - such a lovely dining experience. I ordered the lule combo which was delicious. The meat was packed with flavor and the salad on the side was really fresh. Portion sizes were generous too. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend checking it out!"

Villa Terraza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (332) • $$

"Our first time at Villa Terraza. This place was recommended by my brother. The ambiance was nice. Customer service was excellent by our waitress. However we didn't get her name. We came here for our wedding anniversary. Made a reservation online and as soon as we arrived our table was ready so we were seated right away.We ordered the garlic cheese bread for starters along with the calamari. Main dish we ordered kids chicken Alfredo pasta, seafood linguine, linguine with clams, egg plant a la parmesan and chicken parmesan. We thought it was great that they brought out our child's meal first before the other dishes. Our food did not take long to be served. Our waitress was awesome because she brought water/drinks right away and checked on us a few times. Last but not least our food was delicious. The portion sizes are great. Food is not salty and actually has a flavorful taste. Portions of the seafood and chicken were of good amount. We will definitely come back. We enjoyed our first dining experience at Villa Terraza for our wedding anniversary. Thank you!"

Soho House West Hollywood

★★★★☆ 4.3 (463) • $$$

"The legendary/exclusive SoHo House is a vibe all unto itself. This low key California glam spot serves excellent cuisine (always love Mary's Chicken and their grilled broccoli) with elevated levels of service and the most elegant decor. It's a lovely spot to visit and there's easy underground parking in the same building."

Brews Brothers

★★★★★ 4.5 (239) • $$

"This is a perfect bar with perfect bar food that has a wide variety of options that are really tasty. They have really good burgers, sliders tacos. They have the classic pretzel with beer cheese. And then they have incredible beers. Specifically they have a bunch of sour beers, which I love that they have a rotating tap for sour beers. They let you sample them before you get a flight, which is really fun to do. I find this place really cutting edge in terms of a local bar that can be down to earth and still have the class of a restaurant. You can watch games here I believe they have a foosball table and it's really clean. Dogs are allowed and it's very cute because it feels like you're inside and outside and it's on a very nice street in town. It's really easy to meet up here no matter what size your group is or what event you're trying to have. I love it. The service is really good. The staff are kind patient you can order at the bar and then you can just enjoy your time there and not be hassled by staff."

Mirate

★★★★☆ 4.2 (850)

"To start, the outside did t even prepare me for the beauty that was this restaurant on the inside. I was absolutely amazed and surprised by the decor. The server was super sweet and nice. I am sober so she gave me awesome recommendations on mocktails. I wish I remembered what she got me but it had pineapple in it and was so good. I've gone to other places and the mocktails always just taste super sweet and this one taste super delicious. The lighting is low but it sets the vibe up just beautifully. Me and my friend had the carne con papas and shared a Caesar salad. The stake was so tender and flavorful. The potato's were so like and crispy which was a great contrast to the tender steak. I will have to come back to try more food."

District

★★★★☆ 3.8 (673) • $$

"Met up with a buddy after a black-tie event to loosen up a bit. Located at The Block, the District is one of those all purpose spots. Cocktails, meet up/mixer, watch a game, have a beer, lounge/kick back or to nibble on fiddles, whatever, it's a great place. We had a couple of Old Fashions, watched the Dodgers and ordered appetizers. The Bartender was super cool. Wings, parmesan fries, sticky bbq ribs and cheddar cauliflower were excellent choices to end the night. There's a outside space, lounge area, bar and dining seating."

The Green Room

★★★★★ 4.6 (634) • $$$

"What an absolutely amazing experience. Dee, Alexi and Suzanna are incredible and made the night so fun for my group of 16. The night was filled with great energy, drinks, food and dancing. Great place for any celebration. Thank you Green Room for making my birthday so memorable. We'll be back!!"

Barton G. The Restaurant - Los Angeles

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$$

"If you're looking for a tasty dinner and a show, then look no further than this gem in WeHo. The food is tasty and the presentation of each item ordered is like no other that I have ever seen. Every time something is delivered to your table or anyone else's, you will be in awe of the fun & creativity! And it's not just all show. The food and service were great. We ordered cocktails, pork chop, lobster pop tarts and the citrus salad and nothing disappointed. This is a great place for a birthday celebration!"

Culina Ristorante & Caffe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (612) • $$$

"Came here for lunch & everything we got was yummy although nothing was extraordinary except for the shrimp. Love how friendly the staff are, and how beautiful the interior is though, so this rating is based on the food (i.e. average). Diavola Pizza 2/5 -- Only ok, it was soggy! And barely had any honey (had to ask for more). Wish it was more crispy because eating this was a hassle.Broccolini 2/10 -- Could be softer, just tastes like roasted broccolini you can make at home. No flavor.Tagliatelle al Ragù di Funghi (mushroom wagu pasta) 5/5 -- This was delicious! Perfect amount of creaminess & umami flavor. We also added chicken to ours. Shrimp (forgot to take pix) 6/5 -- Soo delicious we forgot to take pictures Best tasting shrimp I've ever had and it was piping hot when it came out! Loveee the marinade they cook it in, it was perfectly garlicy & zesty. Pistachio Cannoli 4/5 -- Cannoli was stiff & incredibly hard to cut into, but we LOVED the flight of pistachio themed toppings it came with! So innovative and really elevates the dish Affogato 3/5 -- Tastes like your average affogato, but loved the addition of the waffle cone. Wish it came with more! We also got matcha lattes & mochas, which were good. Super creamy. That being said, expected more from this place but I mean nothing was unedible."

Glen Arden Club

★★★★★ 5 (20) • $$

"Awesome spot hidden in Glendale. Doesn't look anything more than an apartment from the outside, but it's huge inside with a great floor plan. I've been here a couple of times both for private parties and everything was great. Decor is awesome, food was great and the bar is prefect. I'll be back for sure."

The Guest House

★★★★☆ 4.2 (412) • $$

"This is my first time at guest house - I will be back, and often! This place is perfect for a nice summer day. Exceptional staff and service who were very kind to our party and our eight month old puppy.We went for happy hour order a couple of dollar old fashions and beers. We had the mango habanero wings that were so good we ordered another round. They are pet friendly, and we had the whole patio to ourselves. The staff were very accommodating and checked in with us often."

Hilltop Restaurant and Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (71) • $$

"We had another lunch here with a group of friends and we really enjoyed. - the view is spectacular. The service was good. Will be definitely returning."

La Bohème

★★★★★ 4.5 • $$$

"i love that la boheme offers late night happy hour at the bar. we tried various menu items such as espresso martini, short rib taco, buffalo cauliflower and cheeseburger sliders. everything was perfect! no complaints at all parking is a bit difficult since it's in the busy parts of weho"

Tramp Stamp Granny's

★★★★☆ 4.3 (214) • $$

"Piano bars are soooo fun but a piano bar that plays tons of theater songs? I'M IN!! Highlight was the pianist and bartender doing Defying Gravity together. It's like we were transported to the Pantages down the street :)They also played stuff like Britney, Gaga, Abba, Disney - such a fun mix! And so much talent. There are QR codes around where you can venmo the pianist if you don't have cash to request a song.The decor is soooo cute. Pink, retro yet modern, unique, just a really fun vibe. And the clientele were all ages, not typical Hollywood night life scene. Loved it.Website says dress to impress but most everyone was in jeans so it's still relatively casual.Most of the booths were reserved but cleared up as the night went on. There were also some chairs around the bar for anyone who wants to take a break from dancing n groovin.They have a full bar as well as multiple complimentary water dispensers.Aaaaand there was no cover!Parking is horrid. Friday night in Hollywood you either pay $30+ to park or drive around until you find a spot. So plan ahead.A perfect end to Friday date night. Looking forward to brining my broadway loving sisters next time!"

Mother of Pearl

★★★★☆ 4.2 (21)

"This place is great - we will be back. The food was so well executed, we want to try other stuff. Had the tuna tar tar, sand dab sliders and the ceviche, which I would rate 9.5, 9 and 9.5 respectively. They're small places so you need to load up but that just means you get to try more dishes. The 100% outdoor setting and the view of LA Live across the street (Figueroa) are cool too. For bev's, we had espresso martini, tequila/OJ and a mezcal-menu drink which were all great (even if they were each $21?!). Finally, our server and overall service was super all around."

Il Cielo

★★★★☆ 4 • $$$

"A Hidden Gem for a Romantic Night Out.This restaurant is absolutely charming--perfect for a romantic date night! The ambiance is intimate and the staff is incredibly warm and friendly. I ordered the tuna tartare and filet mignon, and both were excellent. Our waiter, Masimo, was outstanding--attentive, hospitable, and made our experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food and service, this place is a must-visit."

Ristorante Per L’Ora

★★★★☆ 4.1 (141) • $$$

"Historical setting, amazing food! Splendid service!Was the Bank of Italy until SEC brought them down. Then became Bank of America. Now, go invest in an amazing meal!! Ask Brett for the history. Besides being a charming server he knows the details of the historical transformation of this landmark. Buon appetito!"

Eden On Brand

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$$

"I made a reservation for a restaurant across the street that shut down (but didn't report that they shut down) and upon arrival, they were closed of course. I quickly looked around to see where we can walk to instead because we were with 4 people to celebrate a birthday. I saw Eden across the street and quickly checked online - luckily they had availability! We were seated immediately on the patio, and after 10-15 minutes, it was entirely filled. I'm so glad we came here, because it was GREAT.We ordered drinks and few appetizers to begin: cauliflower, calamari, and the flatbread. The sauces are so good here, nice and lemony. For entrees, we ordered the following: filet mignon, Chilean seabass, chicken piccata, and the rib eye. Although everyone's food was delicious, I think we all agreed that the rib eye was the best one. Nice and juicy (I ordered medium). For dessert we had the bread pudding and the brownie. The brownie was yummy. Personally, I didn't enjoy the bread pudding but our guests did. Overall, we loved this place and recommend stopping by. It's a mixed crowd at nighttime and the ambiance is nice. Good food, good music. The patio is cozy, but there is an odor I couldn't really describe, cigarettes perhaps"

Mya Rooftop

★★★★☆ 3.5 (369) • $$$

"I'm personally blessed to be a server at this location, but I'm leaving a review as a guest tonight! I brought my best friend for her birthday!!! The music is great, I came during winter and the heaters and fireplace make it warm during dinner! We were offered blankets to stay warm! The food presentation is amazing! The view is beyond breath taking! It's truly a great experience! So much, that I come on my day off!!"

Cicada Restaurant and Lounge

★★★★☆ 3.9 (598) • $$$$

"Looking for a magical night in LA. Get transported back in time with people dressed upscale 1920s -50s. Great music. I had a gimlet made to chilled perfection. I took a picture of the list and I'll have to try this later. The host was so happy to seat me with my friends. As a dancer I didn't think they would but as the night slowed down chairs became available. The chocolate ice cream cake was so good. Thanks for a world class experience."
