Located right on Wilshire Blvd, Double Take is an easy pit stop between Westwood and Beverly Hills. Stop in for coffee and freshly-baked pastries in the morning, or fuel a marathon writing session in the lounge with something from the breakfast menu, served until 11 a.m. After work, let our bartenders put a craft cocktail in your hand, paired with one of Chef Jose's creative market-inspired plates. The lounge with a large TV, bar, and dining areas allow you to seamlessly transition between meals, and work or fun. Better than braving the 405 at rush hour, no?

My partner and I really enjoyed Capri at Italy the Valentine experience. Although we did have to waited 35min for our reservation, the food and drinks were worth it. My partner absolutely loved the the freshness of the oysters with salmon roe on it. The skirt steak was cooked to perfection! One of the best espresso martinis in LA! The only downside was the wait time due to the kitchen being behind and our waiter wasn’t as attentive.

Loved the Dine LA menu but the main entrees came were served too quickly after the appetizers. The service indoors was not nearly as professional as on the patio. It was very rushed and sloppy. Coffee served twice was cold!! Not up to ur standards.
