Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Reseda

I absolutely adore the potato crisps! They’re incredibly well-made and not oily or overly salty. You have the option to either spritz some red vinegar on it or dip it in the aïoli that’s provided. Personally, I prefer sprinkling some Tabasco on it to add a bit of heat. Lemon pepper wings can be a bit hit or miss because sometimes they overdo it with the seasoning. Regardless, they’re still delicious. The laid-back atmosphere and fun vibe make it a great place to hang out with friends.

This is the best restaurant in the West Valley, where chains are the rule. But this place is next level good.

I reserved firefly to celebrate my anniversary. I’m so glad I did because the whole experience was wonderful. I’m giving four stars for the service, because where it was lacking was upon entering the restaurant the hostess was not warm or welcoming at all. She did not smile or even make eye contact at all. We were seated immediately and walked through the very sophisticated looking lounge/bar. The setting outside is beautiful, dimly lit and beautifully decorated. We were seated next to the busy kitchen and restroom which was ok, but clearly not the best option. We ordered the charcuterie board which was delightful. It had the perfect mix of salamis, prosciutto and French cheeses. For the entree I had the branzino with asparagus and baby new potatoes. The fish was done to perfection and tasted amazing. My hubby had the filet mignon which was also done to perfection and just the way he likes it, medium well. The dessert was delicious, a sticky toffee pudding with pecans, walnuts and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The Pineapple Express cocktail was also delicious. Overall a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend to celebrate any special occasion.

Had a wonderful lunch experience at Salina! The food was delicious and exceeded my expectations. The service was equally impressive, with a welcoming and attentive team that made the afternoon lunch enjoyable. A special shoutout to Johnny, the bartender, who truly went above and beyond and made the experience even more memorable. Even the restrooms deserve a mention, featuring a bidet toilet, plush thick hand towels that add an extra touch of comfort and luxury. It’s those thoughtful details that really elevate the overall experience. I was very happy with everything and look forward to coming back again!

What a GEM!!!! I cannot believe we have lived here three years and only just discovered this place.  My daughter and I loved it so much that we had it again the next day - as takeout.  The fried chicken was hands down the best fried chicken I’ve ever had. (And I’m from the Midwest. Home of fried foods.) It takes 35 min and worth every minute. The original aesthetic has been well preserved and there is so much rich history and storytelling on every wall, table, nook, shelf and hidden cove. It really feels like stepping back in time. The service is excellent. The food is phenomenal. It’s classic elegance rooted in a 1947 legacy. We love this place. This is definitely our new *special occasion* place to eat.
