FYC Bar + Kitchen

Located inside the Amarano Hotel, FYC Bar and Kitchen is upbeat, cozy and sheik. There is seating at the bar, couches and comfy chairs spread throughout. The food has been good during my visits. Some of my favorites are the sliders, parmesan fries and chicken wings. Check out the drink specials, the classic margarita, spicy passionfruit Paloma and bouquet of roses are tasty. Harvey the bartender is awesome. You may get a magic trick out of him on a good night. There is a 23% gratuity charge for a group of 6 or more. I was not happy about this on one of my visits, specifically because I was not informed by a waitstaff. Nice place, low key location, great service and good food.

I had no idea this charming place existed until my darling friends invited me to join them for Happy Hour. Located inside Hotel Amarano (also a hidden gem), FYC (For Your Consideration) emits a classy ambience and a cozy vibe. This is a place where celebrities will come to dine because their privacy is respected. It's intimate enough for date night but also a perfect spot to catch up with friends.Of course, Te-See & I are always dressed to the nines regardless of where we go, but this time our fashionable wardrobe was the perfect attire for this chic lounge. Libby (director of sales & marketing) even came over to tell us how fabulous we both looked. We had an enjoyable conversation with her, and she told us many wonderful things about Hotel Amarano. I'll definitely recommend it to visitors and may even book a staycation for myself.Norm the bartender was friendly and attentive - engaging us with lively banter. I had the Bouquet of Roses - a refreshing combination of Kettle One Peach & Orange Blossom vodka, Lillet Rosé, Rosé wine, & peach purée. It was perfect for the summer evening. Te-See had the Spicy Passionfruit Paloma - minus the spicy. It was also very tasty. Anton also had the Paloma but spicy. I compared the two and liked the spicy version better. I had to leave before food was ordered but my friends said that the Shrimp Cocktail and Parmesan fries were delicious and ample enough to share. I really liked the vibe of this place and look forward to coming back. *Valet for the hotel or street parking.

This bar had me at "Welcome to the neighborhood!" Inconspicuously located in the lobby of Hotel Amarano near WB studios, you are immediately removed from the Hollywood chaos and thrown into a very classy but cozy atmosphere. No, you don't have to be dressed up, (unless you are like me or Nikki, cause that's how we roll)...you can be causal and chill. Norm, our bartender for the evening, greeted us and brought us menus. We took our time looking it over before we ordered. Libby, the director of sales & marketing for Hotel Amarano, welcomed us and told us a little bit about the hotel. I had not been here in over 20 years & it was for high tea which they no longer offer, and was more excited about the Bar/Lounge area now. Norm took our drink order at our table. We ordered: the Bouquet of Rose 5/5 & the Spicy Passionfruit Paloma (minus the spicy for moi) 5/5. Our friends ordered a beautiful Shrimp Cocktail and Parmesan Fries. Portions were shareable and delicious! My NEW favorite hang!!!!! *Valet Parking only at the hotel *Plenty of free street parking. Just read the signs. *Very safe area at night *$$ - $$$ but worth it *No Happy Hour menu or specials

Ambiance is very trendy. It is attached to a hotel but you can still eat here. I had the korean bbq chicken which was tasty. Server put sauce on side because it was spicy. I thought it was good and spicy. Our server Harvey did a magic trick and he went above and beyond. The woman server was very cold to us and I felt unwelcomed. The moscow mule was good but it was not served in a copper cup. We had 6 and people so we were charged the group gratuity fee. I asked the servers why and they said it was the law. I spoke with the manager and I provided feedback that as a customer, we want to know when we are going to be charged a gratuity fee. The fee was 23% and quite an unusual gratuity number because I'm used to tipping 15-20% and I never heard of a 23% fee. The server pointed out it's on the menu and I saw it written in 2 point font. So they got me, I am the fool. It's funny because I wasn't even given a menu. 1 menu was given to my friend for 6 people so actually I could make the argument that I never received a menu which is true. I am not sure if the servers get this money or if it goes to the hotel. Manager listened and provided no solution other than listening and nodding. Typically I like to go places where I feel welcomed. Harvey made me feel welcomed because he is just awesome but the rest made me feel unwelcomed so I can't see myself being a regular patron. There are enough places in burbank where I would avoid this place. Come for a low key drink and good bar food but mediocre customer service.

Amazing service, delicious food & great wine.Love the ambiance. This will be a go to for my husband & I!

The food here was amazing! We ordered the New York strip with potatoes and broccolini!The restaurant has a super chill and relaxing ambiance!Johnny provided excellent customer service! Thank you

Service and staff are incredible. Drinks are always lovely and it's so cool even flying solo how many fun people you will meet there

This space is a haven for tourists, locals and people in town for business. I meet interesting people every time I come here. Food is excellent and drinks are tasty. It is centrally located to the studios, Universal Studios Hollywood and Bob Hope Airport. It is my "Cheers" and highly recommend it. Bartender Norm will make you feel welcome and keep you engaged like a good friend if you are flying solo.

This is now called FYC and the bar is open!! Norm is a great bartender and he has the best personality! I had a cider for happy hour and curried caulilini with chickpeas. This is a GREAT hangout at the Amarano Hotel in Burbank/Toluca Lake.

We dropped by here for coffee and dessert. It is located inside the Amarano hotel. It is a super cute and chic place, on the small side but very welcoming and well situated. Norm went out of his way to deliver excellent service. I had coffee and a brownie a la mode and my husband had coffee and some strawberry dessert, which was just OK.Easy to find parking on the side streets. I would definitely return here very soon to try the food, which looked delicious!
