I went there for the first time the other night. The roast chicken was fantastic!

Asanebo. Pricey, yes, but worth every penny.

Expensive but awesome. My absolute favorite. It's so rich however, I can only rarely eat them.

I just ate at La Fonda last night. Fantastic food and great ambience, service was fantastic. we started with emapandas that my 12 year old flipped over. they were amazing. i had pork shank that just melted off the bone and she had tacos durros, once again great! we finished off with a piece of tres leches cake. it was so good that now my daughter wants to learn how to make it upon our arrival back in the states.
Music? We were there very early so there was none, but there may be, i did not look at a wine list and there is no view but if you want a GREAT meal this place cant be beat.

I am not sure what Boneyard Bistro some of you are going to. I went to boneyard initially due to some great reviews here, yet the amount of derision is overwhelming. Not only is the food fantastic, the servers are great and Aaron one of the main reasons i go! He has a passion for food and drink that is 2nd to none. i have eaten almost everything on the menu- filet- catfish-ribs- burgers- kangaroo- pork chop- and have never left anything short of elated. You want to hate due to the price? great- more for me.... my favorite casual place in town.

Green Jug in Woodland Hills

Chili John's in Burbank, but call ahead as their hours are kind of wacky, or Chili My Soul in Encino.
