Groovy Times at Jazz Cat Cafe

Wednesday, July 2, 2008 0:20 2 Comments

On the corner of Valley and 7th in Alhambra is a restaurant that usually has a line out the door by 7pm daily. You wouldn’t know it by the name, but Jazz Cat Cafe is the place to go for some good hot pot. There is a slight twist. This is not [...]

MILK open house

Wednesday, May 21, 2008 13:27 6 Comments

In a rather savvy cross-promotion (actually, a no-brainer, when you think about it…) the delightful ice-cream parlor and café on Beverly, Milk, teamed up with the Got Milk? people (namely, the Cali Milk Processor Board) to host an open house last night.
I spotted a handful of fellow bloggers, including the gorgeous Kristy of [...]

Jingo - Japanese BBQ in Encino

Monday, May 19, 2008 9:57 No Comments

It was Saturday night, a few weeks back, around 9:30, when I first visited Jingo to try their Japanese BBQ.  I’ll be blunt, by initial impression was mixed, at best.
Jingo is the new incarnation of Gochi, and my first thought was that the latest proprietors have taken the decor from “Mom and Pop” to casual [...]

Tapas in Tarzana

Monday, May 5, 2008 14:00 3 Comments

In keeping with la.foodblogging’s recent focus on the Valley (sorry, Westsiders!) I am thrilled to be writing about one of the best little finds of late.

Tarzana has a lovely European-style café restaurant that is one of the best kept secrets in the Valley. The only reason I am telling you about it because I want [...]

Vino Wine and Tapas Room - Encino

Thursday, May 1, 2008 10:46 7 Comments

I’ve noticed the last few months there are quite a few new joints opening all up and down Ventura Blvd.  I’m officially excited. 
 
That’s the good news.  Here’s the bad news - or part of it:  you have to look really hard and keep that head on a swivel ’cause they open - then it [...]

Terroni: No Earthquakes, Please

Thursday, December 6, 2007 20:44 5 Comments

I’ve been pretty excited about Terroni opening, ever since I saw their menu. Authentic Cafe, which used to be in the same location, was a regular dinner/drinks place for me and the void was noticable once it was closed and the new restaurant was under construction.
Now it’s open, and I have wasted no time evaluating [...]

Sinfully good – MarieBelle’s hot chocolate

Wednesday, May 23, 2007 16:19 4 Comments

I wouldn’t call myself a hot chocolate expert, per se, but I would definitely say I am a hot chocolate afficionado…
Mere sematics.
I know what I like when I try it, but I cannot say I’ve sampled all the best the world has to offer.
But I have certainly given it my best shot!
At Angelina, [...]

Celadon — an exquisite experience

Thursday, March 29, 2007 15:21 4 Comments

Celadon is a beautiful restaurant and bar/lounge that offers a unique experience. This is definitely the kind of romantic venue you could take someone special to, though the menu is actually skewed towards shared plates, hence ideal for groups of 4-5 or more.
Adjacent to the main bar are a few lounge rooms, [...]
