East = Amazing Happy Hour

So usually I do only one Happy Hour a week for my Los Angeles restaurant deals, but I don't know how I can resist letting you guys in on another deal. East, an Asian Fusion place in Hollywood, just introduced their new Happy Hour. It's 5 to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and valet is only $5, drinks are only $7 and food is only $8! For a swanky Hollywood restaurant/bar that's one of those sweet Los Angeles restaurant deals you have to try! You have to try the "Shady Lady" cocktail - it's my fave! Coupled with the tuna tostados and an avocado and ponzu sauce, it'll just make your night. Seriously. Plus, it's super-new and you'll sound really cool when you talk about it (like me, lol) so check out my fave of the Los Angeles restaurant deals this week!

I'm Craving Salt... and Tequila

So my Happy Hour of this week is Pink Taco. Even though I am all for Los Angeles restaurant deals, my feminist self was a bit perturbed by the name of the restaurant. I mean, really? But once I got over my annoyance, I had a great time at the Happy Hour with my friends. My margarita was half off and was impressively strong. Yum! And the general happy hour special is buy one, get one free. The nachos really sealed the Los Angeles restaurant deals at this place. They literally could have fed a small country. It was pretty legit. The rest of the food was decent, but it was so cheap that it was definitely worth it. I would go back again, even if just for the margarita. Again, my visit proved to me why Happy Hours are really the best Los Angeles restaurant deals.

Surf and Sand and... Fish and Chips?

Finally after all that rain, it's time for sunshine. And there's no better way to celebrate than with Los Angeles restaurant deals. It feels like summer, so I'm looking for something fun and easy. I just purchased a voucher from SocialBuy.com for Reel Inn Fresh Fish in Malibu. For $15 you get $30 worth of food and drinks! Talk about Los Angeles restaurant deals! They have tons of fresh fish cooked to order. Plus, it's right by the beach, so you can enjoy the California "winter" to its full extent. Even better is the range of beer and wine at Reel Inn. So many choices, so little time! Once again, Los Angeles restaurant deals make the season.

Fast Food for Free?!

I admit it - I love Jack in the Box; it's an easy way to take advantage of Los Angeles restaurant deals. Please reserve judgement. Sometimes those tacos are just too damn good to resist. So next Tuesday (Feb. 23), I will be at Jack in the Box, purchasing a large drink and getting a free grilled cheese. So maybe it isn't something you would brag about, but you'll be thanking me when you sink your teeth into gooey deliciousness. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Plus, it's free! You really don't get better than free Los Angeles restaurant deals. Sometimes, you just crave fast food. Now you just have to regret the food and not the empty wallet. Thank you, Los Angeles restaurant deals.

BYO Wine with No Fee? Woot!

Legit Italian food and wine? Sold. Even with Los Angeles restaurant deals, its hard to find a place that doesn't charge a corkage fee for bringing your favorite wine to dinner. That's one of the reasons I like Rosti Tuscan Kitchen in Santa Monica. And regarding Los Angeles restaurant deals, I got a voucher from SocialBuy.com for $25 worth of food for only $10. That means a Saturday lunch for two and a quick stop to Trader Joe's to pick up a red and I'm having a weekend sent from heaven. I love Los Angeles restaurant deals in Santa Monica, not to mention Rosti's delish ricotta and spinach ravioli. Plus, there is a lot of free parking opportunities and it just has a really sweet and cute ambiance to it. It's intimate enough without being over the top. Good Italian restaurants are few and far between, but Rosti has that je ne sais quoi.

Drum roll, Please! The Happy Hour of the Week is...

Napa Valley Grille. Ok, so I admit it, I basically live here. It's so close to my work and it's so easy to just toddle on over for the sangria and blue cheese hush puppies. This is one of those great Los Angeles restaurant deals that in the form of a happy hour and you know how I love those! The mini-Kobe burgers, the pizzette, the mac and cheese - you really can't go wrong. At all. I always end up feeling satisfied and tipsy for like $12. Yeah, I told you - Happy Hour at NVG is one of Los Angeles restaurant deals. Added to the great food and drinks, it also tends to be less crowded and less loud than Palomino - my other favorite. Now that I've told you about these great Los Angeles restaurant deals, you'd better go try them out!

Tiramisu Makes Me Smile

Whenever I'm craving an Italian sit-down meal at a Los Angeles restaurant, I always end up going to Buca Di Beppo. But that's because I forget about the amazing Los Angeles restaurant that is Trastevere on Third Street in Santa Monica. It has such fresh food that is authentically Italian. The tiramisu is a good enough reason to go to Trastevere by itself. So light and fluffy and delicious. It's what comes to mind whenever someone mentions tiramisu. Not to mention that this Los Angeles restaurant is a block away from the beach. Perfect dinner right there: Some delish pasta followed by a slab of tiramisu. Then grab a coffee to go and walk the beach. You can't get any better than that.

So cute, it's disgusting

Ok, so I'm not sure if 26 Beach in Venice actually has a traditional deal going on right now, but every time I got there I feel like my friends and I are getting Los Angeles restaurant deals. It has such great ambiance and decor and the service is amazing. But the aspect that makes these Los Angeles restaurant deals actual deals is the extremely giant portions they give you. My friend and I split the L'Orange croissant french toast served with a bitter orange creme and orange glaze. Splitting the French toast gave us two generous portions and it was so scrumptious I almost died. Definitely our Los Angeles restaurant deals of the month. This place is great for brunch, especially when you order a mimosa.

I could really use a drink...

Drinking can get expensive, but one of my favorite Los Angeles restaurant deals is in Westwood at Palomino. Their happy hour is one of the best. My favorite drink of all time (and not just at this happy hour) is the $4 cranberry mojito. It’s so refreshing, and let’s be real, you can have three for the price of one drink somewhere else. It’s one of the most amazing Los Angeles restaurant deals ever. Paired with the gorgonzola fries fresh from the kitchen, this place is the perfect way to start a week, end a week, or just enjoy the week. I just wish there were more Los Angeles restaurant deals that I enjoyed just as much.

I Think I Found My New Home

Urth Caffe in Santa Monica is exactly what I picture when I think of a Los Angeles restaurant. It has a beautiful outdoor terrace, a menu full of fresh produce and a great selection of teas. It takes advantage of all that California has to offer: sunshine and ocean and produce. The relaxed feeling of this Los Angeles restaurant also makes it great spot to go for a weekend lunch or just to take a moment out for yourself. The Los Angeles restaurant industry is plentiful, but there are a few places that really capture the California essence and Urth is a Los Angeles restaurant that really does. I had a mocha and a portabello sandwich there this past Sunday and it made my weekend.
