STK Los Angeles is the spot if you’re looking for a vibe that screams luxury and fun. Think juicy steaks, epic cocktails, and a live DJ to keep the energy up all night. Perfect for content, btw—this place is a whole aesthetic. Here’s the rundown from my night: •The Food: I went with the Ribeye (highly recommend), and the Cheesecake was next-level. It’s definitely a splurge, but worth every bite. •The Vibes: Chic, trendy, and buzzing with energy. It’s not just a dinner; it’s an experience. Great lighting for photos, too! •Service: Shoutout to Danny (my server), who made everything seamless and fun. Whether you’re celebrating or just want to treat yourself, STK delivers. Pro tip: make a reservation early because this place gets packed. Check them out on OpenTable to book your table!

I love Farmshop for lunch, but I think they need a bigger dinner menu. The liver mousse and avocado hummus were delicious, and we shared the mushroom bolognese. I asked for endive or any other loudest than chicory. They didn’t do that and I didn’t send it back, although I should have. It is a lovely place to dine and not overly noisy, but I wish there were more food choices.

Our Brentwood favorite (over the siblings Toscana next door) for quality Italian food and crowd energy. Super friendly service. Great place to hang at the bar, watch a Dodgers game (no sound), and enjoy a quality cocktail.
