Restaurants near Los Angeles Zoo

It was my first time and since the moment we walked to get sat down to the moment we left everything was great! We walked in by a young lady who was so kind to give us a different table with a view because we were celebrating a birthday. We then sat down and Andrew was our server/waiter and he was so amazing. He was so attentive, kept checking on us and gave us the best service. We had some drinks Love at First Sight and Paid Vacation and they both tasted great!! Now the food, we started with the popcorn chicken and it was so good! We got the steak and it was cooked the way we ask. Everything had flavor. We just had a great time!

My boyfriend and I had never been to Bacari so we finally gave it a go; it’s less than fifteen minutes away and they have a happy hour for their first hour of being open?! Sold. Our server was polite and informative — but that was it. He didn’t come back to check on our food, our experience, etc., until we asked for the check an hour later. In between, a different girl came up and cleared our plates and asked if we wanted dessert. Let me be clear - the food was outstanding. We were told the portions might be on the small side but for us, they were perfect. We paid less than $90 for an hour of beautiful ambience, Christmas music playing overhead, and delicious food. However, had our server gave us a little more attention, we may have ordered more food. But this will give us an excuse to come back! In his defense, he seemed to be the only one taking orders. And it filled up quick! Either way, we will be back! Thank you for a lovely evening!

Celebrated birthday lunch today at our traditional favorite restaurant. Enjoyed Brisket sandwich on an onion roll w/ peanut coleslaw & beets... Very lean & delicious! Chardonney recommended by our server. Good choice! Comfortable festive ambiance, excellent service. Shared a CCBrown chocolate ice cream sundae... so yummy :>)

Make your reservations quickly. We love this place. We drive from Santa Clarita just to eat here. The food is fabulous. The people are so wonderful. The service is awesome. The steak was prepared perfectly to how we ordered. The potato au gratin was delicious, best ever. And the desert......wow If you have never been here before, it is a must go to. They will show you how restaurants use to be like and have you crave for more.

Saffy’s is the rare restaurant that always gets better every time you go and it started at “mind-blowingly good.” The scallop crudo, shrimp toast, skewers…..everything was phenomenal, sophisticated and unfussy at the same time. Chef Ori is a master of the grill. And Genevieve’s desserts are always spectacular - try the banana cake!
