The Best Thai Food Ever!

Omg. A Los Angeles restaurant changed my life last night. Spicy BBQ Restaurant on Santa Monica was literally the best Northern Thai food I have ever had, hands down. First of all, it is cheap as dirt, but is literally edible gold. The BBQ chicken is spicy, sweet, juicy but well-cooked. The Spicy Thai salad with beef was refreshing and the glass noodles were perfectly done and the ingredients were so fresh - I felt like it was made for a family in a home, rather than mass produced at a Los Angeles restaurant. Plus, the service is friendly and approachable and gave that family feeling as well - not what you normally get at a Los Angeles restaurant. I just loved my experience - go there tonight!

Yummy Fresh Fish, Sunshine and Beach

With the glorious weather we had today, I was inspired to find a Los Angeles restaurant on the beach that I could try. I stumbled across Reel Inn Restaurant Fresh Fish market on SocialBuy.com and it's exactly the type of Los Angeles restaurant I'm looking for - fresh food and a beautiful Malibu beach. They serve fresh fish in a variety of mouthwatering ways and with the deal that I purchased on SocialBuy.com, I got a voucher for $30 that only cost me $15. Dinner for two at a delicious Malibu restaurant, here we come! Fresh fish, a scenic location, and being a part of California surf history at one of its original fish shacks, AND a SocialBuy voucher? Sign me up!

Not Really a Jersey Shore Kind of Place

To be honest, I went to Guido's Ristorante on Santa Monica in part because I was inspired by Jersey Shore. This Los Angeles restaurant definitely did not emanate a guido feel a.k.a. I didn't feel like Snooki would be walking through the door. The waiters wear tuxedos, which is super-cute and the service was amazing for such a packed Los Angeles restaurant. I really enjoy the lobster ravioli and the Chocolate Windmill Cake. Delish. It was a little on the expensive side (approximately $40 a person,) but had a very old school Italian feel to it. I enjoyed my experience at this Los Angeles restaurant and will probably be back.

Free Parking and Corkage? For Sure!

What am I looking for in a Los Angeles restaurant? I'll tell you: a cozy ambiance, good paninis, a cafe nearby for an after-dinner coffee and parking. And what restaurant has all these things? Rosti Tuscan Chicken, a sweet little Los Angeles restaurant, in Santa Monica. It's right next to Cafe Luxxe, which is one of my favorite cafes ever, which is how I discovered Rosti. But this restaurant also doesn't charge a corkage fee, so I can bring my own favorite wine to the restaurant, instead of paying an arm and a leg for a mediocre house wine. I had the turkey panini and it was great. My friend had the pasta and thought it was pretty great too. I went for lunch today after I got a voucher from SocialBuy.com for $25 worth of food for only $10. So it was a great deal at a great Los Angeles restaurant and it was delish. Perf!

Irish Coffee Makes Me Love the Rain

I love Kitchen 24 in Hollywood. It's the perfect Los Angeles restaurant to start the night out - or to end it. Last time I was there, it was raining so my friends and I got the Irish coffee for half off. And I was seriously tipsy after drinking half of it. We had to ask the waiter to bring chocolate syrup over to us so we could temper our drink. Definitely worth the price! It's the epitome of a Los Angeles restaurant: always open, always busy, cool decor and updated favorite dishes, like the most amazing apple pie you will ever have in your life and macaroni and cheese that tastes like your mom's, only better. Yummy Los Angeles restaurant = Kitchen 24.

Delish and Dressed-up Dining

I love Jar in West Hollywood if I'm looking for a lux Los Angeles Restaurant. It just exudes LA cool-ness. I went there last week for a friend's birthday and gorged on pot roast and the signature chocolate pudding. I could eat that pudding for a 100 years without getting sick of it. Sure, this Los Angeles restaurant is a little on the expensive side, but totally worth it for a unique dining experience. I just really love a Los Angeles restaurant that can take old favorites and create something new and exciting. Just make sure you remember to make a reservation (and to order the chocolate pudding, or I'll never forgive you.) I also heard they have a bomb brunch menu, so I'm totally going to check it out soon.

Yummy Yummy BBQ

As you can probably tell, I'm a huge proponent of Happy Hours. But then again, who isn't? They are the best ways to take advantage of Los Angeles restaurant deals. Another one of my favorites is Gyu-Kaku on Pico in West LA. The soju cocktails make the Los Angeles restaurant deals, I really love fruity alcohol. But the Japanese BBQ is to die for. It's such a cute, intimate setting. They have great-tasting food and there are even vegetarian options. Beautiful. It's one of those places you can always have a great time at, which makes it an amazing Los Angeles restaurant deal.

Espresso and a Patio: Perfection!

I'm kind of reluctant to tell you my new favorite place to study, because I don't want anyone else to go there. But it's such a great Los Angeles restaurant, or rather, cafe and I felt like being nice. Espresso Profeta in Westwood has hands-down the best coffee I have ever bought/tasted/smelled. It's literally the smoothest, most velvety coffee I have ever had at a Los Angeles restaurant. Not to mention the gorgeous outdoor patio, the delicious pastries and the free Wi-Fi. I could move into this place. It would probably be cost-effective too since coffee runs through my veins. Profeta is the the best Los Angeles restaurant known to man.

Chianti and Garlic Balls. Too Good.

Whenever there is a special occasion in need of celebration, my friends and I always go to C & O. It’s really our favorite Los Angeles restaurant. And it is essentially because of the bomb garlic balls, which make this Los Angeles restaurant really stand up. They are these little bread balls soaked in a garlic herb oil and they are delicious! And the house Chianti is a perfect complement to the fresh Italian food. I also like going to this Los Angeles restaurant for their brunch – the Eggs Florentine is amazing and then you can grab a coffee and walk along the beach. Can’t have a Saturday morning better than that!

Cupcakes Make My World Go Round

Sometimes I forget that finding Los Angeles restaurant deals don't just have to be for the ritzy dinner places on Sunset, but also for that bakery around the corner or my favorite taco truck. For instance, I always find myself at Sprinkles buying a little treat for myself and think to myself that its a bit of a splurge. But today, I found out that SocialBuy.com had a deal where you could buy a $5 voucher and get $10 worth of cupcakes and it literally made my day. Next time, I go to Sprinkles I don't have to choose between the Red Velvet or the Strawberry. Or I could give one to my boyfriend, but then again, maybe not.
