Found this place on Trip Advisor. Arranged to have dinner with friends we had not seen in years. The food was delicious! We ordered hot and sour soup for 4. It was full of tasty morsels. The four of us ordered three entrees to share. Our server advised us that was plenty for the four of us, and she was right. The entrees came with steamed rice. Everything was delicious. I especially liked the Mongolian pork. We left with full tummies and enough leftovers to feed the four of us a second time! The place is tiny and casual. But it was really a treat to eat there. Our time together flew by. We suddenly realized at 9pm that they had cleaned the place and were politely waiting for us to leave. We’ll be back!

Arrived around 4pm for dinner with window booths still available. Chad our waiter was personable and patient; we weren't in a hurry. The grilled corn chowder, cauliflower appetizer special, and the kale & manchego salad were all excellent. The cilantro lime chicken tiny tacos were tasty. Unfortunately, the chicken sausage and burrata rigatoni was not flavorful and the pasta was overcooked. Chad described the special dessert as a chocolate moose, but it was definitely mocha. We will return and try other items.

We have dined at Tuscany for years and every visit is consistently good. The food preparation and Incredible flavors reminds me of my dining experiences in Italy. They put effort in to their dishes and its obvious. In my opinion there is no Italian restaurant in the area that compares and that extends to Los Angeles. I also want to mention that Kevin our waiter makes the dining experience a complete pleasure - thanks Kevin for your attentive service and personality.

Reviewed By ninabR9182BK - Thousand Oaks, California
Every neighborhood needs a good breakfast joint. Eggs ‘N’ Things provides a great breakfast and has the diner ambiance that former East Coasters hunger for. The waitresses are lovely and the omelets are beautifully made, especially if you like an egg white omelet. Very fresh ingredients. Nicest touch of all: the crepe with jam they give you as an ”appeteaser” before your ordered dish. Don’t bother going for lunch, however, there are better selections in the neighborhood for that.

Reviewed By Ron C
The food and service was excellent. They had Manhattan clam chowder tonight (which I prefer over the creamy New England). We both had fish which was perfectly cooked. The problem, and reason we don't come here more often, was the noise level from other customers. This is a very common problem. The basic acoustic design is poor and tables too close.

Wanted to try another new place and my daughter took me here. I decided to get the moscato sangria brunch cause it was on special (5.00). It was okay, wouldn't order again, rather pay the money for something else I like better. My daughter ordered the tangerine thyme margarita (8.75) Lunazul repposado tequila, fresh citrus puree and thyme.. which I drank part of that after I finished my sangria. I liked it better. My daughter also ended up ordering the Huckleberry Bourbon Shrub (8.95) buffalo trace bourbon, house made wild huckleberry shrub and fresh basil, which was very good. For food she ordered the wok fired calamari (11.50). I think this is an appetizer but really it is a full meal, comes with rice. It came in strips with plum sauce, peanuts and bell peppers. It was very good and unusual...not your usual fried stuff with dipping sauce. I think hey use calamari steaks and slice them thin and work fry. I had to order the chilaquiles (9.25). They called my name. I must say these were good but not as good as the man who makes them at my daughter's work. They would have been better I think with more scrambled eggs, they had the eggs, tortillas, cheddar and jack cheeses, racnchero sauce, cilantro, black beans and salsa...they also came with a tapatio creama...glad I asked if it was spicy and she said the creama was so we put it on the side...so glad I did. Service was good. I would go here again.

Te menu is geared mostly towards drinking, so if you are hungry, pick another restaurant. Service was friendly, but the food was simply not impressive - bland and presented with a lack of pride. Best food was the home fried potato chips that came before the meal.
8. The Stonehaus

Reviewed By chezjim - Los Angeles, California
Perhaps the first thing to know about the Stonehaus is that it has its own vineyards. Yes, actual vineyards you can walk through. I don't know that you can get actual wine made from the grapes, but what is offered is varied and excellent. The food offerings in the Stonehaus itself are light but varied. They often have very nice music as well. On top of this, the cafe/wine bar is part of a larger complex with other bars and restaurants and a lovely little miniature lake. So overall it's just a very sweet peaceful place to be, with just the right amount of sociability, if you want it, or places to sit comfortably alone. A rare spot in LA and worth seeking out.

We and our friends go as a group of about 20 for Holiday Dinner. It is good home cooking and great atmosphere for Thanksgiving Dinner. Go early in the day as many groups linger after dinner which delays your group's reservation from starting on time.

Reviewed By McFerrid - Omaha, Nebraska
We had the seafood tower and then I had the Seabass, one had a fillet and the other had a chop salad. Sat in the bar area that featured live entertainment before going to our table. Our table was much quieter than the bar. Vegetables are served family style and also very good. Parking is valet and will cost about $10 including tip.
