Casa Vega, in Sherman Oaks, opened its doors in 1956 and has been serving the people of Southern California ever since. Local residents, and even celebrities, have flocked to the family-run Mexican restaurant currently run by Christy Vega Fowler, daughter of original owner, Rafael Vega.

    It was a special occasion birthday party. The manager named Marty was so gracious. She got us a fantastic table and came and checked in us during the evening. She made us felt very welcomed and special. Besides that the food was excellent.

    We expected a special experience at the Tower Bar Restaurant this week, but we were pleasantly surprised by how much better it was than expected! The atmosphere was timeless and chic, the food was exceptional, and the service was beyond compare. It started at the front desk and was superb throughout our meal. We were never rushed, and were able to enjoy a long and relaxing brunch with multiple courses. The price was more reasonable than expected. And Angel our server was a true brand ambassador … he was knowledgeable, kind, entertaining, and made us want to not only return to the restaurant, but stay at the hotel the next time that we are in town. Thanks so much for a superb dining experience for the whole family. We can’t wait to come back again.

    Food and ambiance at M&F outstanding as ever. (I do wish they'd heat the bread, tho.) But this trip they outdid themselves in service. My dear companion now uses a cane and walks quite slowly. The valet noticed and actually drove him around to the front door where I met them having come down the stairs and secured our reservation. On leaving a member of wait staff lead him out a side door to the curb while I brought the car around. They made the night of my dear's birthday even more wonderful than just the dinner. This is old style service, above and beyond. Three cheers for Musso & Franks.
