Best Pre-Theater Restaurants in Toluca Lake

The food, service and ambiance was all top notch! This is officially one of my new fav restaurants in LA! Every dish we ordered was chefs kiss!

Came here for my birthday a few weeks ago and had an amazing meal! This is located in a dense part of Hollywood close to The Pantages Theater and I opted for valet right in front rather than search for a spot. Let's get to the food: Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice - 5 stars. Excellent! Perfectly crisped rice underneath creamy and delicious spicy tuna. Crispy Brussels Sprouts - 5 stars. Utilizing the outer leaves of the Brussels sprouts gives this a crispy and light quality and the seasoning is delicious, not your typical "balsamic glazed" sprout Miso Cod Bites - 4 1/2 Stars. This was a healthier and light appetizer and a nice little bite. Baked Crab Hand Rolls - 5+ stars. The best baked crab roll on earth!! No notes! Assorted Kushiyaki - 5 stars. We got the asparagus and the eggplant and both were great! Assorted Ngiri - 5 Stars. Every piece was fresh and absolutely delicious. The service was fabulous as well. Extra olive juice on the side of my Filthy Martini was a nice "mint on the pillow" moment for me, and the mini sparkler candle that was brought out for my bday dessert was charming. The ambiance is minimalist and upscale, and our giant booth was perfect for a bday celebration. Well done Katsuya, can't wait to come back!

Wonderful customer service and great food! We're so pleased we tried it

The price fix dinner was beyond outstanding!!! Service friendly and attentive

The Written hand is a hype worthy place to dine in, even if you're not staying at the hotel, it makes for a wonderful place!!! I had Rey and Allen to help me today, they are pleasant and understanding of what clients look forward to me as myself. I had to reorder the burger here, i got it well done; its uniquely blended flavor is delicious!! It is cooked with bacon, seriously mouth watering flavors. The burger: delicious juiciness stacked with melted cheese, mayo, and aromas: it comes with a salad or fries, the fries in my honest opinion are comparable to in n out fries but a fatter version. There is street parking (depending on the day of the week you come). They have a beautiful movie projector there's a pool table. They have gorgeous seating. If you love beautiful dinning, this is your spot for it. Even if you're in the mood for a drink, it's definitely a great place to stop by!! They have beautiful art of the wall, pretty drinks and music playing. The staff genuinely makes this place even better!!! Restrooms are always clean. Valet is not free. Security at the front. If you're looking to meet with friends, family or business meetings, this is a very effective place to experience wonderful hospitality. Keep up the incredible work please. I love coming here. It's my new to go to place! Overlooking the capital records sign, it's so beautiful with the high ceilings!!! Thank you Dani and Corey for making this place what it is!! I love doing business here. With Lauren, Naoimi, Chris, Shuee, and Malerie at the bar, they make sure your drinks are delicious!!! The drinks are soo juicy and refreshing and very presentable. Corey is amazing, very hospitable and accommodating. I wish i knew this place existed sooner. Thank so much Tessa for your kindness and amazing support too.Do yourself the favor and come here if you love great food and awesome quality hospitality.
