Levy's Kitchen
Categories:

Neighborhood: Glendale
Quality kebab at affordable prices! Love this place!
Levy's Kitchen is a great new addition to Glendale. The food is seriously good! They have all the usual kebabs as well as sandwiches and specialties like ghormeh sabzi. During the week they have a choice of an all you can eat buffet with select items and on the weekends they have an all out all you can eat buffet with pretty much everything. Usually when you think buffet you think mediocre food but not here, you're going to be getting some damn good food! The hummus alone is worth coming here, sooooooo delicious! Their entree dishes are very generous sizes and very tasty. I recommend Levy's combo plate.
This is going to be my new kebab spot for sure, both for dining in and for to-go orders. Stop by and try it out!

Lord have mercy that was some damn good ice cream!
I wasn't sure what to expect but upon walking toward the place seeing the velvet rope outside I knew I was in for a treat. An ice cream place that gets a line like a club? Must be good right? Hell yes!
I had the Salted Caramel and the Brown Sugar with burned Caramel swirls. I was in Caramel heaven. Seriously delicious ice cream and great service too. Although I didn't try any samples you can pretty much get samples of anything you want.
The place is a little small inside, so the line outside makes a little more sense but even if it was huge I'd still assume there would be a line out the door. It's that good!

Such a cool park! Stopped by here at night and the view from the top of the hill was beautiful! Next time I'm in the area I'd love to come hang out here and people watch. Beautiful park in a beautiful city!
Man, if I lived in the area this would totally be one of my regular spots. The ambiance of this place is great, really love the layout and the overall vibe from the decor to the lighting to the service.
I was in San Jose with a co-worker on business and on our last night we decided to drive over to SF and grab some drinks. Luckily I found this place on Yelp and I'm so glad we checked it out. The tacos I had were really great and the Long Island I ordered was perfect.
This is going to be one of the first places I stop at when I'm back in the SF area, for sure!

Great food and great vibes! I love walking into a place and immediately feeling welcome. The staff here is so welcoming and friendly.
I had the turkey avocado sandwich and it was delightful! It really is a very simple dish, sometimes less is more and I felt very happy with my food. I knew I had to try pie from here so after I finished my food I was happy to see their little mini pies! I got a pumpkin pie, blueberry pie, and peach pie. I gave the blueberry to a friend and I devoured the other two. YUM!
Another thing that was cool, my friend wanted to get the tuna sandwich and asked if it was tuna salad or just tuna. The super friendly cashier said it was salad and then gave us a little sample in a little glass. Sweet! Very good tuna salad, easy on the mayo and big on taste!
Can't wait to come back here and this time I'm getting some bigger pies!

You know I have lived in La Crescenta area for a long time now and I have only been here once. I felt like I wasn't missing out on munch and I have to say I was right.
Was the food good? It was, but nothing to go crazy over. The french onion soup was great but the rest of the food was just... A-ok. The service was not the greatest as well. Our waiter rarely came around to check up on us and it took what seemed like 10 minutes until we got anybody to come take our orders after we sat down.
Although Montrose/La Crescenta isn't known for its fine dining, I feel there are much better options.

Tart Restaurant

Neighborhood: Mid-City West
Seems like the reviews are al over the place for Tart. The past two times I have been here, the food and service have both been stellar. I mean come on, how can you not like any place that has chicken and waffles!?
I like the vibe of the place too. The music playing in the background is always good. Sitting out in the patio area it makes my co-workers and I feel like we are on a mini vacation during lunch, which is nice.
There are a lot of options around this area but Tart has become a little favorite among our lunch crew. Decent prices, good food, great service, great music and cool ambiance. Give it a shot!

Man oh man, what a great hotel!
I had to come to Boston on business and luckily my company booked me a room at this wonderful hotel. Every single employee I came in contact with was friendly and very welcoming. The first girl that checked me in pretty much set the tone for the whole stay. She was extremely informative, friendly and helpful. I'm terrible at remembering names but I THINK her name was Laura.
Anyway, the room was fantastic! Super clean and I'm a huge fan of that sexy modern look. The bed was so incredibly comfortable and Lord have mercy, what a damn great shower! I freaking LOVE showers with strong water pressure and the rain style shower here was absolute perfection. I want to fly to Boston and shower here! Haha
The location was also great, lots of places to eat near by and it's Boston so there is a Dunkin Donuts like every single block!
Can't wait to stay here again!

Montrose Pet Hospital

Neighborhood: Glendale
When it comes to Pet Hospitals, La Crescenta has tons to choose from. I just recently got a puppy and decided to go here to have him checked out. It was such a good experience. The staff here is incredibly attentive and helpful. Seriously great service for you and your pet.
Dr Mitchell is really nice and extremely informative. Everyone here does such a great job answering your questions, I always leave here feeling like I've learned a lot. I'm a first time puppy owner so I need all the help I can get!
As far as pricing, I can't really compare to anywhere else since this is the only Vet I've been too. I can say so far I haven't spent any crazy amount. Although, I would pay anything for my little rascal!
If you are looking for a Vet in the area I highly recommend coming here, you won't be disappointed.

The Spicy Ahi Tuna Tacos were out of this world good. The hot wings/Chicken Drumettes were amazing! So crispy and the sauce was really tasty.
The complimentary drinks were good too although it def took a while to get drinks. Didn't matter though because the food and awesome Tarantino singers kept you busy while you waited in line. I also got to walked away with a sweet Yelp watch just for checking in!
My +1 and I had a great time and can't wait to go to our next Yelp event! Katie B. you are awesome!
Also Valet was supposed to be $6 but somehow no one asked me for any money when they gave me my car lol so it ended up being free at least for me haha. Sweet!
