    Went for a friend's birthday as a group of six. Highly recommend having a group that you can share all the delicious tapas and taste some of everything. Everything we ordered was delicious and spaced out really nicely at 3 to 4 plates at a time. Really impressed with the menu and the chef. Variety was great and we had plenty to order as vegetarians. Really looking forward to go back.

    It’s was a great time, but our table grill was not working and we only had a 90min time period. Other than waiting over 30 for someone to fix it, we have an excellent experience. Side note the 5pm staff killed it!

    My boyfriend and I had the most amazing first time at Larsen’s, celebrating his birthday. Although the plaza where Larsen’s Encino is located is undergoing remodeling, once you step into the restaurant, you’re completely transformed to another place. Great dim lighting, live piano, and classic steakhouse look. Rita, the hostess, was absolutely amazing. Grant, our server, took it to the next level with his great service. Alongside already amazing food, this wonderful restaurant captivated us into making sure we come back for more.

    Absolutely loved the dinner experience at Monaco Encino. Tasty drinks with a wonderful presentation, delicious homemade pasta, and I'm still thinking about their Malabi Martini dessert. The manager and servers were so nice and welcoming too! Definitely a place to try for a date night or girls night!
