Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Toluca Lake

Absolutely fantastic. It was a thanksgiving pre fixe which in past experiences in other restaurants has always been mediocre. This was not the case. Everything was perfect including the wine pairing. Initially, we were bummed it wasn’t the normal menu since we had never dined here before but my fiance and I both agreed we were happy it ended up the way it did. 10/10. Staff were excellent and attentive. They read all the queues perfectly and showcased lots of knowledge in all categories. Go here. You will not be disappointed.

Everything was a good as it gets. This chain will be our first pick whenever its available. The food, service, and rooms were exceptional. Only one glitch- we made a dinner reservations two months ahead for Ardor on Thanksgiving. They wanted to seat us outside (with no prior notice) in cold weather with my 95 year old mother. We ended up waiting 25 minutes for inside table.

Great good, service was excellent and nice atmosphere.

First time to visit this restaurant. The entrance seems a bit odd but as soon as you open the door and walk in, it has a nice vibe. Dining area is all the way to the back, past the bar and library lounge. Food was great and the complimentary sparkling red wine was a nice touch. I just have an issue with forcing you to order all the food at once (appetizers and entre). I would rather have an option of ordering appetizers first and tasting it and see how large or small the portions are, then I pick my entre. By the way, we did ala carte and not Prix Fixe menu to have the liberty of ordering everything we want to try. Overall, the experience was good, although it could be better.

Food was great and a nice added touch was the live music and heated lamps
