Rochelle "Techie Diva" R.'s Profile

Food selection is better at this location than the Trattoria.  My usual is either the chicken or calamari piccatta. They cook the chicken and calamari just the way I like...moist and tasty.  Portions are huge.  Garlic rolls are very good. I like the atmosphere.  One of the best Italian restaurants around the LA area.  Very tasty.

When I first discovered Versailles, I would have given it 4 stars, however, in recent years, the quality of the food has deteriorated somewhat and the prices have increased...so I had to take away a star.  

I do appreciate that they have renovated the interior decor which gives it a more upscale ambience and feels more cuban.  My usual is the garlic chicken or the roasted pork...or if I am hella hungry, the chicken and pork combo.  I love the plantanos, they are my fave.  The portions are huge, so technically you can share a dish.    

I am still in search of the "best" cuban restaurant.  I hear it is in Glendale, but I don't know what the name is.  For now, I can say that Versailles is the "best" cuban I have thus far...which I am comparing it to Felix's in Orange.

I really don't like Hollywood clubs, but it was NYE and The Highlands was doing a dinner and dancing, so what the hey, I'll give it try. Even though we had reservations and we got there pretty early, it still took over an hour to get seated.  The food was decent, steak, but not the best.  Dinner was served in the upstairs area, which was a nice space, but as the night wore on, it was tough to get drinks since there were so many people and the bartenders were such d-bags that they didn't notice who was next in line.  To make matters worse, they kept taking shots and/or swigs from the champagne bottle that they couldn't concentrate on filling the orders fast enough.  When it got closer to midnight we moved downstairs to the dancefloor.  It was jam packed with people!  Everyone was bumping into each other, spilling drinks on anyone who passed through.  The music was good, but there was no room to dance. It was so crowded, it felt almost dangerous that so many people were packed on the dancefloor.  I made sure to note the exits, just in case of an emergency.  There were go-go dancers entertaining the crowd.  At midnight the people on the stage sprayed champagne into the crowded and later foam came down from the ceiling.  It was cool to experience, but next time, I would prefer something a little more low key.
