When it&#39;s a last-minute dinner and a movie date night, sometimes the most difficult part is finding a place for dinner. Luckily, going to the movies at the Arclight Hollywood provides the opportunity for some nearby good eats. A block and a half away, Magnolia Hollywood fit the bill perfectly. Reservations made through my app, I made them early enough to have a nice leisurely and relaxing meal (hubby has had one of *those* type of work days). The decor is minimalist and inviting. The banquette seat at our table for two was very comfortable. Our reservation was early enough that we were the only ones in the restaurant, but it didn&#39;t feel cavernous or lonely. Our server Preston, was friendly and professional and never made us feel hurried as we took our time and hubby decompressed from his work week. Preston gave us several recommendations on what to eat. The Tuna Tartare with taro root chips as just right for our appetizer. The Chicken Rice Bowl was flavorful and very umami. The Magnolia burger was incredibly delicious as well. Hubby&#39;s cocktail of choice is a Manhattan and the Black Manhattan at Magnolia did not disappoint. We didn&#39;t get to see the dessert menu because we had to go to our movie. But we will definitely check it out the next time we are there. Note: If you&#39;re going to the movies at the Arclight, park in their parking structure and walk over to Magnolia. It&#39;s only a block and a half away.

In such an environment, traditional Japanese ingredients seem to have not kept up with the rhythm, so in the buckwheat noodles, tempura, a bowl of three layers of truffles composed of the new onion &quot;tea bowl steamed&quot; (Truffle and Chive &quot;Chawan-Mushi&quot;), steamed, eggs and truffle mixed aroma enough to make people addicted.

Very cost-effective restaurant, suitable for three or five friends gathering.

In 1975, it was launched in Long Beach, and the combination of fried chicken and muffins seemed to be ordinary. So far, many stores, mainstream media, etc. have reported, and the wall has been photographed with US President Barack Obama.

American barbecue master Adam Perry Lang opened steakhouse APL. Recommend APL&#39;s famous whole-plate cattle chops. Unlike everyone familiar, with three small ribs of the horizontal slice, his practice is not to cut, directly season the whole piece into the oven and slowly smoke. The finished product is super soft and juicy. The black outer layer is the essence of long-smoked smoke, black pepper and charcoal fragrant, accompanied by semi-melting gelatin and grease, is perfect.

On Hollywood Boulevard, drinks and food are usually opened until the early morning. On Sunday morning, the interior space with greenery and ingenuity in the atrium of the building is combined to make people complete the Hollywood trip.

Loved this cute little venue! It may not have looked much from the outside - but once inside, the mixture of cosy, authentic and urban cool won me over. The colorful flower arrangements in red and pink hues disposed on each table really stood out and contributed in creating a fresh, romantic set up. I liked my Chilcano cocktail (pisco, ginger beer and fresh lemon juice) although it could have been served a tiny bit more chilled on this hot LA evening. The food was fabulous: the ceviche had the spice and zest I always long for, the chicken anticucho was moist and flavorful (and large for an appetizer), the lomo saltado was just the right balance between well cooked, seasoned and tender. Service was super efficient and friendly. Atmosphere was quiet at first but exploded in enthusiastic chatter at about 8pm. Being a Latin music fan, I loved the background music playlist composed of the best of classic salsa tunes. Overall we had a super experience at Los Balcones. The only thing that was a bit of a shame is that they brought all the dishes we ordered at the same time, instead of one by one (or at least appetizers before main course). As such, there wasn&#39;t enough time to savor each dish by itself and appreciate its intricate flavoring. The meal felt a bit rushed (we didn&#39;t want the hot dishes to get cold) when it could have been leisurely and a greater feast for the palate. So make sure to specify in which order/ at what rhythm they should bring over your food.

The meal of choice was the burger, which was prepared with onions, a sweet mayo, tomato and pickles. I had a side of fries, which were perfectly cooked, not soggy and not too crispy. The service was stellar, not intrusive but very attentive.

Comfortable. Not too noisy. Straightforward predictable menu, well prepared and tasty. A little pricey for what you get. They need better quality wine glasses. And they need to train their waiters about wine service. Consistently overfilled glasses, even after I commented. And was it a coincidence that each and every time the waiter was asked which of two dishes was the better choice (our party of six was not a decisive bunch) he chose the more expensive one?
