Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Montrose

William Stevenson was our waiter—honestly, he made the whole experience so much better. He’s one of those people who’s just naturally good at what they do. Super warm, easy to talk to, and you could tell he actually cared about making sure we had a great time. He gave thoughtful recommendations without feeling pushy and checked in at just the right times. It felt more like being hosted by a friend than just “getting served.” If you’re lucky enough to have William taking care of you, you’re in for a good night. The food was great! Sides were pretty good and the fried/ crispy fish was incredible with the coconut like flavor. Tasted like some food I had in the Bahamas, which is a W for Castaway

Bacari GDL is hands down my favorite restaurant in L.A.! If you haven’t tried this place, you’re truly missing out. The food is consistently excellent every time I visit, and the ambience is both hip and incredibly fun. The staff here is exceptional—they make you feel like the most important guest, even when the place is packed. A special shoutout to Christian, Cal, and Gee—thank you for being such wonderful people. Your kindness and attentiveness always stand out. Oh, did I mention they are funny as well? I’m already looking forward to my next visit—see you all tomorrow!

Had a great time at CC this past weekend. Food was amazing, and Xavier went above and beyond with the cocktails (the peppery mescal "smoked" at the table is a winner) and delicious food recommendations. Will be back soon!

We hadn’t been back in a while and it reminded me of when they first opened. It was great and the service was perfect

The food was quite tasty. We asked to sit upstairs which was very nice, but then a large party with young children in sports uniforms sat at a long table next to us and it became very noisy. Not sure if their blue cheese dressing is different than most, but I asked for it on the side and it looked like a Ranch dressing. I asked if I could exchange it for Blue cheese, but what they brought looked and tasted more like Ranch than Blue cheese. So not sure if their Blue cheese dressing is more like a Ranch dressing... But my hard chicken taco and beef tamale was delicious!
