Thousand Oaks

About the restaurant

A Finalist for Best Wine Tasting in Ventura County by the LA Times, West Tasting Room is a wine bar and light-fare restaurant showcasing boutique wineries throughout the West Coast regions of California, Oregon and Washington. Our wine list rotates weekly as we pour 20+ wines by the glass, offer a build-your-own wine flight experience and pair it all perfectly with charcuterie boards, artisanal pizzas and salads.

Our wine selection varies from natural wines like Pét-Nats to Burgundian-Style Oregon Pinot Noirs to Napa Valley Cabernets and more. Try one of our guests' favorite pizzas like our Burrata, Prosciutto and Honey or our Leek & Ricotta. We offer wine & cheese pairing packages, host monthly Winemaker events, and even teach wine classes led by one of our six sommeliers on staff.

All wines poured by the glass are also available to purchase from our bottle shop. Pizza and charcuterie are also available to-go.

Please note that we are a 21+ over establishment.

NEW OPEN in Little Tokyo
[TENSHO]

Right in the heart of Little Tokyo, “Kagaya” has established itself a top tier shabu shabu restaurant. Now, the torches have been handed to a new head chef and owner, the next generation to carry the torches of tradition and exquisite flavor, with the new name of TENSHO.

Trained in traditional Japanese cookery, this 23 year veteran chef is on his way to introducing a new wave of Japanese delicacies to the States. As close as you can get to Japan itself, this chef brings his revisioned menu, with patron favorites, and extensive sake list. The desert and a la carte menu is designed by their French trained chef.

The wagyu beef is of A5 rank. The seafood, carefully selected to be of highest quality. Food that is not only delicious but also good for the health.

It's my new favorite little quaint restaurant in Sherman oaks that reminds of a time when eating out was special. Nice to experience great service and have wait staff professionally dressed. Have the Niçoise Salad with their side bread and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc for lunch and enjoy!

About the restaurant

Here at Shokunin we serve traditional omakase styled courses.
Omakase is a Japanese phrase that means "I'll leave it up to you”. The chef chooses the fresh fish selection daily and garnishes it into a 11 or 13 course meal. Our mission is to deliver a fine dining experience in a casual environment all at an affordable price.

As a disclaimer, we do not sell any rolls that are baked, fried, or contain eel sauce or spicy mayo. We also do not sell any kitchen items, such as teriyaki bowls.

Beverly Hills

About the restaurant

Realizing a lifelong dream, Curtis opened his first solo restaurant, Maude, in February 2014. We are so proud to be celebrating 10 years of tasting menus with Beverly Hills!

Affectionately named after his late paternal grandmother, the restaurant pays homage to Maude, Curtis’ first culinary mentor whose sensibilities are resonant throughout the restaurant experience.

The menu is a set, nine-plus-course chef’s tasting menu that focuses on California local and sustainable cuisine. Maude’s “menu-less” format and intimate 21-seat dining room with open-kitchen chef’s counter invites guests to put their trust into the hands of the chef, and allows for a strikingly detailed, personal, and attentive experience.

Hollywood

About the restaurant

Marino Ristorante is deeply rooted in Hollywood since the late 1950’s when Ciro (Mario to friends) Marino landed in Hollywood and has ever since had generations of who’s who in the movie, record, art, political and business LA community at his tables. Today it is still family owned and given its warm welcome flavor by the second generation of Marinos, Mario in the dining room and brother Sal in the kitchen.

The decor is modern and comfortable with memorabilia from a 60 year career which all come together to create its appeal. Described by many marrying the quintessential NY Italian in Los Angeles for its history coupled with today’s seasonal menu, highlighting the best locally sourced ingredients and top notch freshest seafood available.

About the restaurant

One of LA’s best Italian restaurants, Locanda Veneta aims to transport you to Venice, Italy. Where the freshest and often deceptively simplest ingredients are combined and cooked into art. The cozy room, often dotted with celebs, is elegant but there’s nothing fussy about the menu. Here you’ll find favorites such as a fresh-vegetable minestrone; wild mushroom risotto; and spinach and ricotta cheese gnocchi. Garlic, fresh herbs and olive oil dress many of the pasta, meat and fish dishes; and the veal scaloppini gets a different preparation every night. When an Italian spot is as classic as this, how can you skip a dessert of tiramisu? Our extensive wine list complements your meal, with selections mainly from Italy, France and California.
