Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Glendale

Excellent service with great food. Truly enjoyed our evening.

A great time as always! Love the vibe, the people, and the food!

A Special Night for a Birthday Celebration. We celebrated our daughter Jasmine’s 23rd birthday at Palma Ristorante on a busy Friday night, and they made it a night to remember. From the moment we arrived, the service was kind and welcoming — both the hostess and our server, Melissa, wished Jasmine a happy birthday as we were seated on the cozy outdoor patio. The food was excellent all around. Jasmine ordered the Lobster Tail with a side of Lobster Gnocchi (which I also enjoyed), and I had the Seafood Cavatelli packed with shrimp, mussels, and clams. Gloria had the Lamb Chops, and Greg ordered the Chicken Portofino with a generous side of mashed potatoes. Everything was flavorful, well-portioned, and beautifully plated — the fingerling potatoes were a bit small but still delicious. What really stood out were the unexpected extras — including a complimentary salad and a special birthday lobster treat that made Jasmine feel extra loved. The food took a little while to come out, but it was a packed Friday night and we didn’t mind relaxing by the romantic outdoor fireplace in their soft, comfy chairs. The vibe is both upscale and inviting — perfect for a date night or special occasion. They did forget the birthday dessert, but no worries — we had a Nothing Bundt Cakes birthday cake waiting at home! One note for future diners: there are a few price discrepancies between the OpenTable menu and the restaurant’s current pricing (we noticed this with the Filet Mignon and Hanger Steak), so it’s worth checking Palma’s website or calling ahead to confirm. All in all, a memorable night with great food, thoughtful touches, and a warm atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back — maybe next time we’ll try sitting inside!

Absolutely love this gem! The food is so perfectly delicious. Small plates but in those little better there’s a blast of delicate flavors. I love love love the scallop hand roll and the aguachiles. The steak was impressive too. The best part of this restaurant is the staff. They are a fun welcoming bunch. Can’t wait to go back!

Gyu-Kaku Burbank is one of my favorite places to eat, offering consistently delicious food and great service. The meats are high quality, especially the Harami Miso Skirt Steak and Premium Ribeye, and the garlic noodles are a must-try. The interactive grilling experience makes dining fun, whether you’re with friends, family, or on a date. The staff is always friendly and attentive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable meal. With its warm atmosphere and consistently excellent food, Gyu-Kaku Burbank is a top choice for Japanese BBQ lovers. Highly recommend!
