Lunch between Sherman Oaks & Huntington Beach?
My friend and I want to meet for lunch on Friday, somewhere decent that is about the same distance for both of us. Any suggestions? Even if not for specific restaurants, how about areas?
Thanks!
Dining in Okinawa...any suggestions?
Thank you so much for the information. We are actually going to scuba dive, so will be doing that 3 of the days. Then we are flying to mainland Japan to visit family. So unfortunately, unless we go with the dive company, we probably won't make it to other islands...this time!
That being said, if you do have any recommendations for specific places in Okinawa to eat, I'd love to hear about them!
Dining in Okinawa...any suggestions?
I'm going to Okinawa in a few days, for a week. Staying at the Terrace Garden Mihama Resort, in Mihama, Chatan. We hear that it is by the American Village but we definitely want to try some typical Okinawan food!
Any suggestions, for food and things to do (besides scuba...that is already scheduled) would be appreciated!
Thanks!
DESPERATE NEED OF FOIE GRAS! Please Help With Restaurants...
I had a good foie gras appetizer at Hatfield's last year. And my husband had a delicious Kobe filet with Foie Gras at Katsu-ya in Glendale a few weeks ago.
Mmmm...now I want some!

Sushi Sasabune? or something else close to Sushi Zo?
Probably a dumb question, but what does "irrc" stand for?
Osaka Restaurant in Hollywood
I had reservations for tomorrow night at this restaurant, and was really looking forward to trying it out. Reviews were great, and I got a deal from BloomSpot. But I just got a call from the restaurant and they are CLOSING!! Whoever I spoke with, maybe the owner or manager, sounded so sad about it. I felt sort of heart-broken for him.
Tar and Roses off to Promising Start and Tar Free
Sounds interesting, especially the mix and match starters. Where is it?
Culture 22 in Pasadena....Anyone been?
Where is the service panned? Any food reviews?
Copley's in Palm Springs
Thanks Shari! We ended up staying in. My friends didn't want to leave the pool since it was such a nice day! But I'll keep these in mind for next time.
Culture 22 in Pasadena....Anyone been?
I just found this restaurant on Open Table. Menu sounds good so I was wondering if anyone has tried it?

Copley's in Palm Springs
I'm looking for a nice restaurant with good food, to celebrate my husband's birthday. Just going to PS for the weekend, so not familiar with the dining scene. I found some reviews of Copley's and it sounds good so I was hoping I could get more info from the Chowhounds!
Or if you have other recommendations, please let me know. He loves steak & seafood, good martinis and wine, and we are staying in the Old Movie Colony (?) area.
Thanks!
Are there any CH worthy places in Palm Springs?
I'm in PS this weekend. What did you find that you can recommend?
Nice dinner in Santa Monica
If you are going to be in SM on the weekend, a really fun thing to do is the Six Taste Food Tour. I just did it last weekend and it was amazing!! Don't do it the day of his birthday dinner because you will be full after the tour, but you get to try 6-8 places. If you are foodies, you will love it! Great info about the restaurants, cool food, info about the architecture, etc. SO fun.
Narrowing down my choices for one week vacation in Maui
We were just there a few weeks ago for our first time. We were also in Wailea, and because we were scuba diving early a few mornings we wanted to stay 'close to home' for dinners. We had a FABULOUS dinner at Ferraro's at the Four Seasons. It's on the patio overlooking the ocean and the view is amazing. Try to get a reservation about 15-30 minutes before sunset so you are settled with a drink. This is an Italian restaurant, and the food was delicious. There was also a classical duo (playing modern music) that really enhanced the dining experience.
We also went to Nick's Fish Market at the Fairmont. The oysters were amazing! The food was also very good and again, a nice patio. However, no view from this restaurant.
Another restaurant we tried was Hamahamanukunukuapaii (sp?) at the Grand Wailea. Another restaurant with a beautiful view. And we loved their appetizers, and their sashimi dinner. Both plentiful, delicious and reasonably priced.
Have a wonderful time. I did reviews of the restaurants on tripadvisor, with photos, if you are interested. http://www.tripadvisor.com/members/NatAtHome
Maui luau
Thanks for the info. The GW does have their own, but I thought there might be a better/more authentic choice. However, good point about the driving!
Maui luau
Hi,
My husband and I just decided a few days ago to go to Maui for our anniversary. So we leave next Wednesday for 6 days! We are very excited but don't have our normal time to plan.
We'd love a suggestion for a luau, and an anniversary meal too. I've been reading these boards so have written down lots of suggestions but didn't find any luau info except the Feast at Lele (which sounds great, but are there others we should consider?)
We're staying at the Grand Wailea.
Thanks for any info!
Do you order take away from restaurants that you would never actually eat at?
Lebanese Kitchen in Pasadena. The restaurant is empty & stark. The service doesn't seem too friendly either, even when ordering big catering orders. But the price is right & the food is really good, so it's worth it for take away.

Best Cioppino in LA?
Believe it or not, there is a really good cioppino at The Derby! More lemony than usual but that really contributes to the fresh flavor.

St. Martin - Le Santal or Le Cottage?
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the information.
St. Martin - Le Santal or Le Cottage?
I have a reservation at both restaurants for this Valentine's Day. Never been to St. Martin before and want a good meal with good atmosphere. Which reservation should I keep, or is there a third option I should consider?
Thanks so much for any help!
Six Taste Food Tours
Oh, and I've also done their "Little Tokyo" tour, which was also great. That one hit more of a variety of restaurants, not just Japanese ones! Again, a great tour guide, TONS of food, and lots of fun.
Six Taste Food Tours
My husband and I did the "Six Taste" Dumpling tour last weekend in Arcadia. It was great to get the inside info from a local. Our guide Michael was so knowledgeable, and really funny. He told great stories, gave us great information on Taiwan & China, and really knows his stuff when it comes to the food! The food was delicious, and there was a lot of it.
We went to Din Tai Fung, which is famous for it's Juicy Dumplings. They were excellent, plus we got to try 3 or 4 other dishes. The next restaurant focused on street foods, and we tasted about 5 different things. We also went to a bakery and a store with all kinds of Chinese & Taiwanese snacks in bins. We got to try so many different & unusual things.
The other guests were fun and we had a fabulous time! The tour lasted about 4 hours, and we were stuffed by the end. Highly recommended.

A Week in Tokyo with my Family
I don't have any suggestions, but I just had to reply because my family and I are also going to Tokyo over Thanksgiving, from Los Angeles! If I find something while I am there, I will post and hopefully you will do the same. Have a wonderful trip!
Special dinner in Yokohama?
Well, I am really glad you replied! I double-checked and we are staying at the Royal Park hotel. We are apparently being taken to the Japanese restaurant in that hotel one night by relatives, but any idea if the Chinese restaurant might be good for a special meal? I also heard that it is connected by a mall to the Intercontinental Hotel, so perhaps something there might work as well?
Thank you for any assistance!
Yelp-like resource in Japan? Can be in Japanese.
Are these only in Japanese, or am I missing something?
Is there something comparable in English?
Thanks!
Special dinner in Yokohama?
My parents, my husband and I are going to be in Yokohama on Thanksgiving Day. We want to have a nice special meal, but not an American one! Since we're in Japan we'd like a special Japanese meal. Does any one have any suggestions? We are staying at the Yokohama Prince Hotel, and my mom is in a wheelchair so it has to be accessible. Am I asking too much? Haven't found much on this board besides the Ramen Museum! It's good but not quite what i had in mind! LOL!
Thanks for any advice.
Charlie Palmers or Sage?
LOL! Well, I guess we will have to decide but it sounds like either way we'll have a great meal. I'll report back. Thanks!
