Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Tarzana

Our third time there - all for special occasions. Three diners. The Jerusalem bagel, which is a lot of fun in its own right, is a must with dips and salads. We used it to sop up the zaaluk - very nice-sized portions of roasted eggplant and red pepper dips. Very tasty. The bagel also went well with the little gem salad, which was a very generous and delicious portion. Very fresh tasting. We used the dips as accompaniments to the arais, which were delightfully different from typical eastern Mediterranean food, and a treat. Our main was the short rib pasta. Excellent - meat fork tender, noodles al dente, just enough tasty sauce to coat everything. We split a Night in Beirut orange infused semolina cake with non-dairy whipped cream - wonderful. We like the cocktails here - the Zohar (a take on an Old Fashioned), the Turkish Coffee Martini, and the Pardes were all excellent. The wine list is sufficient and not overpriced with decent pours. Our Sancerre Rose did not have much body or flavor, but the superb Medoc went perfectly with all our dinner items. We highly recommend TLV Tapas. We'll be back.

Its always good to be here and eat their amazing meet!! Service was great, ambiance and food! Completely recommended!

First time in 20+ years and was pleasantly surprised. Service was great food good not fantastic but certainly better than average. The theatre of it didn’t disappoint especially for the kids. Overall a good experience.

We loved our time here. The ambience is exactly what you want for a night out with family or your partner. The food was incredible. Our host was terrific. Looking forward to coming back.

Throughout the years, this Ruth Chris never disappoints. Our server, Jared, was outstanding. Everything we ordered was cooked to perfection. This is one establishment knows how to create a total dining "experience". Please note that if you take a ride share here and put in "Ruth Chris" it tries to take you to the old location. Make certain you put in the address which is 5919 Canoga Ave. Woodland Hills, CA 91367 - the ride share apps still have the new location as "Fridays".
