Best Healthy Restaurants in Panorama City

Excellent service, and the food was prepared perfectly. We appreciated the 4:30 opening, instead of 5 pm, because we like to have dinner early. We plan on making a Larsen’s dinner our Christmas tradition from now on. What I DO NOT appreciate is all the “verification” it took from Open Table to know that i am who I say I am. Really—phone number, email, and pass codes to BOTH? Ridiculous!! My financial institutions do not have so many verification steps.

We enjoyed the special Christmas Buffet today. There was a large variety of delicious entrees. They also prepared a special vegan plate for me with farro, mushrooms and squash. The servant was excellent. Francisco and the team were very attentive and helpful. We plan to return next year.

Our server was Chanel and she was excellent! She was charming and pleasant throughout our meal and gave us great suggestions. We’ll be asking for her when we return! ❤️

We were excited to try Hugo’s while visiting LA as the entire menu is gluten free. The special menu had pumpkin pancakes which were phenomenal. I enjoyed every bite. I was excited to see cornbread offered as part of another dish and asked if I could have a side of cornbread. The cornbread unfortunately was not served at room temperature and was dried out. I added some of my syrup to it which helped add moisture as the flavor was good. I was told the four cheese macaroni and cheese with the GF penne was very good as was the omelette. Dessert offerings of peach cobbler and pumpkin pie were also enjoyed, though a comment was made that the pumpkin pie was a little heavy on the cinnamon and other spices.

We sat outside and it was early on a Saturday night so it was not noisy. Our food was ok, not fabulous. The kids tacos were unusual. They were soft tacos with melted cheese on top. I guess the kids expected hard shells and ground meat. It was chunks of meat. It looked good, but only one of the three ate it. The Margarita's tasted different than what we are used to. My husband and I could not figure out why. The flavors were unusual and we don't know what ingredient is different that is used there. The service was good. We had to ask them to wash our table before we sat down. There were food crumbs on it. I thought this detail should have been attended to before we were seated.
