Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Toluca Lake

Atmosphere is beautiful. Staff were impeccable. Food was incredible.

One of the best dining experiences my partner and I have had in LA! We will be returning :) From the moment we entered we were greeted immediately and with kindness. All of the staff were very professional and caring. The ambiance was the first thing that caught my attention. I was driving by one day and, of course in LA traffic, I noticed how beautiful the building and interior looked. Our server Sebastian showed us outstanding service; from his attention to detail, knowledge of the menu/food, caring demeanor, great personality we knew we were in for a good dining experience! Sebastian coursed out our dinner perfectly! We started with some light seafood bites; the kampachi crudo was yummy! The pistachios added a delicious crunch and flavor. The hamachi ceviche was also so good! The San Diego bluefin tuna tartare was so fresh and delicious! The grilled Asparagus was so unique and one of our favorites! The sea scallops was outstanding! This one stood out to us the most. All of the seafood was so fresh and light we could have eaten seconds and thirds of it and not felt overstuffed. Next course we had both of the salads; super fresh, tasty and perfectly dressed! I'd highly recommend both! We also had the mushroom cigar and that one wasn't our favorite. The shell wasn't very tasty. The sauce added some flavor but won't be getting that one again. For our final courses we got the steak kabob & salmon skewer. Both were cooked perfectly, juicy and flavorful! I'd highly recommend both! Drink wise we both don't drink alcohol but enjoyed both of the mocktails and a nonalcoholic wine! I'd say I enjoyed the spritz more. The Paloma was on the sweeter side. The spritz was refreshing and went perfectly with this lighter fare. I can't recall the type of wine we had but it was white and very delicious! Tasted exactly like a really Pinot Grigio. If you live in or visit LA I'd highly recommend this spot! We look forward to returning soon :)

We are coming back today, because it was so good - I think that says it all! :)

The food was fantastic, but it took a bit long to get it. We sat down at 7pm and we didn’t get our main course until after 8-8:30pm. Granted we were a large party of 12 people, but it was a Tuesday night.
