Verde - Kalkbaai iNingizimu Afrika

I love going to this place for Happy Hour! It's a hidden gem in The Grove with $10 cocktails during happy hour - you can't beat that in L.A.

This is my favorite spot to visit before catching a movie at The Grove. They serve fantastic drinks, including a variety of craft cocktails and mocktails. The food is good, but not outstanding. Despite The Grove being busy, you can usually find a table here. Just keep in mind their limited hours - they close at 8 pm.

Excellent out on the terrace. Food was great, drinks good, and service excellent.

Good food, good price, good view, good menu, good location.

Aside from the irresistible chicken tacos and hot pepper calamari (with a delish new dipping sauce), a new (for me) must have is the artichoke spinach dip. The service here, though, as always, is as much of a draw as the food.
