Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in LAX / Westchester

The restaurant was super busy, and yet the staff from the receptionists to the wait-staff were amazingly efficient and helpful. The Cadillac Margaritas were excellent, as was the food we ordered (guacamole, street tacos, poblanos relleno, Tres Leches Cake) We were impressed by the attentiveness and helpfulness of our waiter, Jose! Extensive menu and we hope to explore other items in future visits There is no valet parking, and a sign directing one to public parking near the entrance would help - street parking (free) is available, but it took us a while to find a spot.

Xmas Eve Birthday celebration with my two daughters, all first timers here at Jane’s which was serving a special four course dinner. Wow, started off with great views of the marina, open kitchen and joint packed full of hungry guests at 6pm!! All I can say is the Jane’s staff execution of this event was absolutely impressive and outstanding in every way!! First hats off to the back da house gang sweating it out in the boiler room!!! All the dishes were Michelin Star fantastic, from the first course raw oyster appetizer, second course Asian style crispy shrimp salad, Hamachi Carpaccio, Mushroom/Chestnut Soup, main entrees of Seared Scallop with Risotto, Shrimp Scampi & Tagliatelle pasta and Surf&Turf Prime Fillet Mignon and Lobster Tail. Plus we ordered their signature Caviar with Fish Sticks which was loaded with sturgeon and ikura eggs in a delicious tartar sauce relish. But wait……the superb tasting dessert of a Chocolate Caramel Roll Cake with a birthday candle definitely deserves recognition for putting a smile on my face!! And of course kudos to the hard working floor folks including our wonderful server Grace and the hustling food runners ………every course came out in perfect timing, no long waits or pauses in between……a simply amazing performance considering every table in both dining rooms were full!! We will be back for sure…….seriously recommend Jane’s if you got a hot date or someone to impress…..Even the valet service is top notch!!

My family and I had an amazing Christmas Eve dinner at North Italia, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. The service was outstanding—our server, Blake, truly went above and beyond to make the evening feel special. The food was incredible! The bolognese was rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed—a definite highlight for me. My sister, who usually avoids pasta, absolutely loved the ricotta cavatelli. It was creamy, delicious, and a standout dish that surprised her in the best way. The warm atmosphere, attentive service, and fantastic food made for a memorable evening. I would highly recommend North Italia for any special occasion or just a great meal out. We’ll definitely be back!

We had a great time with friends and good food and service!

This is a great neighborhood hidden gem - great service, wonderful ambiance, really nice for getting together with friends.
