Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Hawthorne / Gardena

An elegant place to celebrate and just enjoy because of the professionalism and cordial approach of the staff. Delicious and enormous amounts of food to choose. Thank you.

The food was excellent. Alex was a fantastic cook and reminded me of the way the food tasted more than 15 years ago. Our server was of top of everything. Will be coming back.

Food was terrific. Tomahawk steak outstanding, as was sea bass. Side dishes excellent as well. Only gripe was with service. Restaurant was not at all crowded, and while we (three diners) were seated immediately, our waiter appeared for about 20 seconds to greet us, but then inexplicably disappeared for 22 minutes. Episodic appearances continued, which was annoying, although he was a nice guy and actually a good waiter when he did appear. This resulted in most food being brought at slightly sub-optimal serving temps, which is a problem when one is spending $100 per plate. Other than that, this wasn't that big a deal, and we had a lovely time.

We had a large party with a rambunctious kid, and our server helped us with such grace and humor ….and patience!! I didn’t catch her name, but initials are TD. A restaurant might have great food, but if service is great too, then you’ve got loyal and returning patrons. Thank you North Italia for providing both!

Had a great time last Friday. Food was great and we topped it off with the dessert as well. Definitely would recommend to lovers of Japanese bar cuisine.
