Jeremy Guskin: Still one of the most lovely and civilized places to eat in Hollywood.
Rachel Mercer: Really great for a casual date. Romantic setting (sit outside if you can!) - the food is wonderful, the pricing is reasonable, their Risotto specials are amazing and the (Chocolate) Souffle is a must.
Douglas B.: What a great little hidden gem of a restaurant tucked in a east coast style cottage with beautiful white lights everywhere if you sit outside. So sit outside..Great service and the food was wonderful!

Andrew Lvovsky: I'm a regular. I can say the service is not the best, but the food makes up for it. Try the you pick 2 creamy tomato soup and chicken caesar salad, great combo.
Brandi Randolph: The Mac-N-Cheese is to die for!!

8. Crossroads Kitchen

8284 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA
Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Mid-City West · 92 tips and reviews
John Decker: Wonderfully romantic and downright hip, Crossroads is the L.A. hotspot. Crafted cocktails, the Kale Salad and the Bolognese Lasagna are musts! Chef Tal and staff, thank you!!
Eater: The tortelloni here is all plant-based, which means no egg. Still satisfying for diners looking for a delicious vegan pasta. Filled with almond cheese and laced with oven-dried tomatoes. Read more.
Gianni Love: Another gourmet vegan restaurant/bar w/ all of the pretentiousness of LA. The food was not impressive at all, especially for all the hype this chef gets. And extra emphasis on "gourmet." ;-)

1 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica, CA
American Restaurant · Downtown Santa Monica · 12 tips and reviews
Sharmagne John-Sylbert: Excellent menu, impeccable service, views of the ocean and pier, cocktails before or after in the sumptuous hotel lobby make you feel like visiting royalty. On my list of favourites.
Andy Kimmelman: I've never been to a restaurant where the server seemed scared to come to the table. Then I had lunch here.
Mark Schwartzman: Filet was tasty as were sides. “Special” salad was pretty bland. $5 for bread!
Owen Ward: The rooftop view is spectacular, and the rooms feel like your own apartment. Perfect for a visit or even a staycation.
Hotel Tonight: Rooftop pool, hot tub and tennis court. Grab a seat and check out the fashionable Hollywood crowd.
Peter O'Brien: Turn your fridge off, it will keep you awake!

Dedi Cesarini: great food, cute atmosphere!
