Bar Verde

Basically a glorified Denny’s but the vibe is so uptight. The one in Glendale Americana is so much better

What a find - I can't believe we'd never been here before as it's right across from our office. The servers here were all really attentive and friendly. They answered questions about the menu and had good recommendations/knowledge about allergies. We sat on the patio, which had great views and some heaters so it didn't get cold at all even after the sun went down. We also didn't realize how early they closed until we left and people were super nice/accommodating and we didn't feel rushed out (sorry!). The holiday drinks we had at HH were SO good. My friend got the "naughty nog" for the name but really enjoyed it. I had several of the cranberry ones. On the food side, the spinach artichoke dip was also the best I have ever had, and the GF flatbread that we got with it was perfect. The cajun seasoning on the fries wasn't very noticeable, but they were cooked well and tasty. The burrata with tomato and balsamic probably could've used a touch of salt to bring out the flavors more, but it was good as well. We're definitely coming back to enjoy the happy hour again next time we work in the office. Update: I've been here many times over the last year and have consistently gotten the same great level of service and tasty food and drinks, all at a fair price (shocking to find in LA). They have seasonal offerings for both food and drink, which keeps the relatively small menu fun. Love this spot! A must visit if you're at the Nordstrom or looking for a chill but delicious spot at the mall.

Excellent food and great customer service.

After sitting there for 20 minutes, no one came to get our food or drink order. So, we walked out. No one even apologized.

Yum

The food, drinks and service are consistently good here.
