Reviews
Honest reviews of Southern California’s restaurants, entertainment, events and destinations.
Riviera Dining in Los Angeles
Coastal flavors, sophisticated ambiance, and impeccable service. Bright, fresh plates and a dining room that feels like a night on the coast. The service is polished without being stuffy, and the seafood is the reason to go.
Wine Country Getaways
Discover California’s best vineyards and tasting rooms. From small family tasting rooms to big-name estates, these are the stops worth the drive, and the ones you can skip.
Comfort Classics in Orange County
Southern fried chicken that is worth the drive. Crispy, juicy and generous. Sides that taste homemade and a staff that remembers your name.
Ramen Night in Costa Mesa
Rich broth, springy noodles and a line out the door. The broth simmers all day and you can taste it. Go early, because the line is real.
Taco Tuesday, Elevated
Fresh, bright Mexican plates done right. Handmade tortillas, salsas made in house and a margarita list that is better than it needs to be.
Brunch with a View
Cocktails and small bites by the water. A patio made for slow weekends, with a Bloody Mary that is basically a meal.
