Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Tujunga

We celebrated our anniversary with some friends and had a wonderful evening! Luis took great care of us and he had very warm and pleasant demeanor. The food is always perfectly cooked and delicious. Thanks for the chocolate soufflé with the candles to top off the evening!

The food is nothing short of outstanding, Shawn (sp??), our server, was super friendly and helpful, my wife and i have been to restaurants all over N Am and i said to her The Little Door had the best ambiance of any restaurant i have ever been in

Lawry’s Beverly Hills was excellent. The food quality and preparation was consistent. The shrimp cocktail was delicious, but removing the tail shell was difficult. Eating with fingers was not good, so I cut the shrimp and ate it with a fork. The lobster bisque broth was tasty but there was very little lobster. I would not order this again. My companion had the spinning bowl salad and it was well prepared. The Chilean Sea Bass was wonderful. It should be added to the regular menu. My companion had the Lawry’s cut prime rib and the medium rare portion included a bone. The sides were adequate, creamed Spinach and mash potatoes were ok. My companion had a baked potato which looked and tasted good. The table service was excellent … prompt, accurate and attentive. My water glass was refilled multiple times without needing to ask. Overall a lovely evening. I’ve eaten at Lawry’s many times and was never disappointed.

Shirley Brasserie was a wonderful dining experience that paired the great atmosphere of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with great food. The Restaurant occupies a quiet part of the Lobby area and is large enough to find seating but intimate enough to feel separated from other diners. The menu is spartan but focused, as is the wine list. The appetizers we had were first-rate and handsomely presented. I would recommend the chicken liver mousse, as it was special and hadn't seen it elsewhere. I consider myself an expert on duck and generally prefer it roasted, as many restaurants don't really have the expertise to properly sear it. Not true here. The duck was properly spiced and glazed and seared just right. For this style of preparation, I've not had better. The Shirley Brasserie is not inexpensive, but considering the quality of the food and service (which was also outstanding), I would rate it as a good value. Something for a special occasion.

The Green Room exceeded our expectations! We sat outside and the view was beautiful! The service was absolutely fantastic, the staff were warm and welcoming. The food, particularly the Duck Duck Duck, was out of this world. The cocktails are a show all of their own. We will definitely be back again, such a fantastic place!
