    Barrique has been a go-to of ours for years. Always great service and delicious food. Steak tartar and the Beet Quail pasta are quite simply among the most delicious dishes I have ever tasted. Setting is an old house, so it is super charming and intimate. Great for a romantic night out.

    The Culver Hotel has changed and improved their afternoon tea menu. There were pleasant little surprises in the food that I wasn't expecting---a little herbal note here, a little floral accent there (don't want to spoil the surprises), and voila! the food was tasty with interesting little twists. The tea selection was decent (about half a dozen or so) and the quantity was definitely sufficient for a full meal. The ambience was relaxing, not too busy when we were there, so not too noisy. Service is definitely acceptable, not quite white glove, but perfectly passable. And, given its location on the Westside, the price point is reasonable. A nice little hideaway amidst the bustling downtown Culver city. I will be back.

    It was a delicious meal with wonderful service, except for one minor matter (our tap water was not refilled at all during our meal). Yes, it is quite expensive but sometimes a good meal is worth the splurge. The bread was fantastic as was the olive oil accompanying it. The Prosecco was very good. Our appetizers were very special — I had the bone marrow and my husband had scallops — both were among many specials offered tonight. The tomato sauce on my pasta was among the best I have ever tasted — and I come from an Italian family and have traveled to Italy multiple times. The tartuffo affogato was so good I’m not sure I can ever order one anywhere else. Is $70 a lot of money for a piece of fish? Yes it is. I can’t mislead anyone on that but quality and selection come with a price tag. If you feel like it’s time for an excellent meal then by all means treat yourself to an evening there. Your wallet will be lighter but your stomach will thank you.
