Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in Toluca Lake

Dinner before the theater for 2 of us Saturday night. Made reservations earlier that day. We were very pleased with everything. We did the dinner & show parking package. We were given a perfect table. The restaurant was not busy at first but was filled quickly. Our servers were wonderful with suggestions & service was excellent. The food was outstanding. Highly recommend the spicy eggplant starter, Jamie kale salad, vodka sauce was delicious (special sample pasta) & pork osso buca. Tiramusu was delicious 😋. We will return for sure. We waited until our show time at the Aster Hotel rooftop Lemon Grove lounge. Super cool.

One of the best dining experiences every single time ! Food and Service are both fantastic. Great ambience. The mushroom cigars & bread are a must for starters and everything else on the menu- including the sea bass, cauliflower, sweet potatoes......etc. It's all so flavorful and delish.

We have always enjoyed coming to the Front Yard. The menu is unique, in both food and drink, the service is always wonderful, and the food delicious. Our only comment for this meal was that the charcuterie board was pretty sparse for $24. Didn't feel like the value equaled the price, while the other shareables and entrees were closer matched quantity/quality to cost.

Excellent but too expensive. There are other great steaks available in town for half as much per person. Bread shouldn’t be $18 for 1/4 loaf of sourdough.

Last night, we had the pleasure of dining at Shirley Brasserie, located in the iconic Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, CA. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the elegant and inviting ambience. The decor seamlessly blends classic Hollywood glamour with modern sophistication, creating a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The food was nothing short of exceptional. Each dish was a delightful blend of flavors and textures, showcasing the chef's creativity and attention to detail. The service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring we had a great experience. They were more than happy to provide recommendations and accommodate any special requests we had. Overall, Shirley Brasserie exceeded our expectations in every way. We can't wait to return and explore more of their exquisite menu.
