Restaurants near Cahuenga Branch Library

Came here at opening (5:30 PM) on President's Day for a date with my husband. Initially, we were amused by the location, which is in a small unassuming strip mall in the outskirks of Koreatown. When entering the restaurant, the ambiance felt cozy, tasteful, and unpretentious. My husband and I shared the following dishes in this order: foccacia with the whipped ricotta + pistachio pesto; plin dell' al langa, rosticciana (dry rub pork ribs) paired with the broccoli chicory caesar. The meal was finished with the pistachio crunch ice cream. I would recommend everything aside from the pork ribs. Not that the ribs were bad by any means; it was just a little underwhelming, especially for the price. But everything else we had was delicious - the foccacia is a must-have. The service was great - the staff were attentive, not pushy, and overall professional. Parking is valet for $10 or street parking. I'm planning on returning again to try the other pasta dishes.

Dined last night for our anniversary and was provided a lovely card (upon arrival) and brownie a la mode after our meal. Terry was our waiter for the evening. He was attentive, honest, and provided helpful recommendations. My partner got the 12 oz filet and I chose the branzino. Only comment is that the sauce on the fish was bland. It needed more taste.

Our favorite neighborhood spot. The food is always extraordinary. We had couple of less than stellar experiences out of many the were, in fact, stellar. Lately and especially yesterday, the experience was fantastic. Everyone was friendly. The service was paced perfectly. We took friends from out of town to experience Saffy’s and they could not stop raving about every dish. We all had a hard time picking the best of the night. Great spot. Highly recommended. RG.

Highly recommend this place! I’ve been here so many times because the small plates are well priced and always delicious. I would pay more if they charged more because the food is that good. This is my favorite mediterranean restaurant in LA. We had the glazed pork, sea bass, brussels sprouts, mac and cheese, lamb hummus, and “the best cake”. The lamb hummus with pita was to die for and the cake is my favorite gluten free dairy free way to end any meal. Best. Cake. Ever. We’re still talking about this meal days later. The silverlake location is definitely the most beautiful one and the biggest with its multiple levels of seating within the trees.
