Best Cozy Restaurants in Los Angeles / Orange County

Came for lunch, ambience was very quiet just a handful of tables taken. Sever was very helpful and answer all our questions about the food. The food was delicious, my favorite dishes were; the shrimp tacos and the lobster rolls. I like that they are small sharable plates that way you can try different plates from the menu. The drinks were really good, good selection of tequila. Definitely planning to come back again maybe for dinner next time.

Very friendly service, interesting and very good designed inventory, terrific view!

Dropped in for Sunday Dinner and was not disappointed. My wife and I loved everything we ordered: Naan & Dips to start, chili-sichuan basted bass, beef short rib noodles and for dessert the chocolate-honey & passion brownie sundae. Great mix of wonderful ingredients presented beautifully.

We visited to celebrate a birthday with a group of three, and since one of us is vegetarian, we made sure to choose dishes that everyone could enjoy, plus one dish with fish. We started with three dips—masabacha, baba ghanoush, and farm cheese—and four appetizers: Moroccan carrots, roasted cauliflower, grilled mushrooms, and prawns. For dessert, we had the kirsch custard. The dips were exceptional, each offering a delightful mix of textures and flavors; each was served with a different type of bread that perfectly complemented each dip. The appetizers were equally impressive. The grilled mushrooms had a lovely char, and the prawns, which were slightly spicy, were paired with a refreshing cucumber salad that balanced the heat beautifully. The kirsch custard was smooth and creamy, served with a cinnamon tuile and fruit compote, making it the perfect way to end the meal. We also enjoyed drinks from the bar, along with a bottle of wine. The food and service were both top-notch. One thing to note, though, is that the noise level in the restaurant is quite high, so if you’re looking for a quiet, intimate setting, this may not be the best option. However, it's a fantastic spot for enjoying a great meal with friends or if you don’t mind a livelier atmosphere.

quickly became one of my favorite restaurants in LA. It’s expensive but worth every penny, especially as the restaurant is pretty generous with the portions. The Pane with pistachios and ricotta is amazing along with the the broccolini caesar salad. The uni pasta is simple and elegant, and one of the best i’ve had, especially topped with grade A uni. Don’t skip dessert and take any digestifif offered. $350 for 2 people. Not cheap, but well worth it and unique amongst the many high end choices in Los Angeles
