Restaurants

“A restaurant prepares and serves food and drink to customers.” Yeah. We like that.

For Nicole’s birthday, we set off on an amazing race across LA.  The finish line involved getting Thai food in Culver City!

This Thursday night, Iron Chefs and Tops Chefs will convene in Manhattan Beach’s Sashi Sushi+Sake Lounge to cook and cheer.  What’s the occasion?  The premiere of Sashi’s Makoto Okuwa’s very own episode of Iron Chef!

Just a couple weeks ago, California Fish Grill opened their second South Bay restaurant.  Located in Plaza El Segundo, they offer casual dining with an emphasis on fresh seafood.

While many restaurants come and go, there are a few that stand the test — and tastes! — of time.  The Chaya chain of restaurants is one that has built its staying power on a reputation of good food and good service. To celebrate 20 years of business at its Venice location and 10 years [...]

I could easily write this review in three words: BEST SOUP EVER!

Specifically, I’m talking about the Spicy Pumpkin Butternut Squash Soup featured at The Terrace Restaurant located inside the amazingly posh Langham Hotel in Pasadena.

All-American comfort food vendor Daily Grill is packing up and moving its South Bay location closer to LAX.

What do you get when you combine a high energy lounge, a laid back “beachy” atmosphere, and mouth watering happy hour selections? Sashi Hour.

Paul Martin’s American Bistro is offering an exclusive dining experience right here in the South Bay! On Wednesday, March 24, diners are invited to enjoy a four course meal; each course will be paired with a selection from wine maker Kelly Fleming.  Before the meal, diners will be treated to a selection of tray passed [...]

Paul Martin’s American Bistro is the place to be this Sunday from 3-5 PM.  LA’s own Chef Jamie will be on hand to celebrate the release of her latest cookbook while offering appetizers and wine for sampling.

I always enjoy visiting Daily Grill, particularly for happy hour.  The food is great, the price is right, and the service is what you’d expect for a higher end, sit-down restaurant.  While dinner is a little bit more expensive, the entrée selections are great; I’m a big fan of their rib combos!  So how can something so good get even better?  FREE DESSERT!

Paul Martin’s American Bistro is the latest addition to El Segundo’s Restaurant Row.  Offering stiff competition to its neighbors, Paul Martin’s provides an upscale dining experience in a casual atmosphere with unprecedented quality, service, and value.

In case you missed the ad during the Super Bowl, Denny’s is giving away free Grand Slam meals (2 eggs, 2 slices of bacon, 2 pieces of sausage, and 2 pancakes) on Tuesday, February 3, from 6:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. It has the standard caveats: valid for dine-in only & at participating restaurants while supplies last. [...]

dineLA’s Restaurant Week is (RW) already in full swing for 2009 and once again, several South Bay establishments step up to serve their best. Quoting dineLA’s website, “dineLA Restaurant Week is a two-week dining event established to introduce local foodies and visitors to the vast array of restaurants in neighborhoods throughout LA County”. Restaurants all [...]

Today for lunch I was hungry but my cravings were at opposite ends. I was starving so I wanted something heavy and beefy, like a burger or a steak. But it was hot too (80+ degrees in January!?) and I wanted something cool and light like a salad or sushi. Lady Bug Asian Grill came to my rescue!

I’ve been to a couple happy hours at Salt Creek Grille and I’m always impressed.  The venue is gorgeous.  In the bar area, they have an approachable bar to the left as you walk in with waist high tables and bar stools to the right.  Moving forward past that its like a living room; there [...]
