Croft Alley
Beverly Hills, CA, USA
Croft Alley is one of those special places that you have to search to find. Their unique ingredients, bright, delicious flavors, welcoming staff and cozy quarters makes this place a stand-out gem in Beverly Hills Founded in 2014, Croft Alley is a welcoming cafe that feels less like a restaurant and more like a friend's house. Every item is sure to be delicious and gorgeously presented using only the freshest ingredients. There is a bit of an Asian bent on some of the dishes, using ingredients like fish sauce and rice noodles. Whatever you do, DO NOT MISS the chlorophyll yogurt-- made in house, this is the best yogurt dish you've ever tried! The chloraphyll adds a beautiful green color and earthiness, balancing out the sweetness of the yogurt and berries. We would like to eat this every day. The space is on Brighton Way in the heart of Beverly Hills, with NO SIGN, so keep your eye out for it. The cozy interior encourages intimate communal seating as well as interaction with the lovely staff that interact warmly with everyone who comes in. This is the perfect breakfast/lunch spot in Beverly Hills, even more special for a Special Event. We offer indoor as well as outdoor seating. Croft Alley is truly unlike any other experience in LA. And don't miss out on their freshly baked cookies for a sweet treat!

Loma Vista Gardens

- Spaces for 225 Guests
Loma Vista was established in 1929 by Alice Jaeger, the last granddaughter of Big Sur’s first pioneer families, the Posts, on the family’s original homestead. Alice and her husband Steve built the property as an inn, diner, and the coast’s first gas station. In the 1930’s, when the newly built Pacific Coast Highway connected the rugged and untamed Big Sur wilderness to the rest of the world for the first time, Loma Vista filled a new need in the community, becoming a place to rest, refuel, and share news from the outside world. The building that now houses the Big Sur Bakery is the original home, which also served as the inn and diner. Alice’s greenhouse, where she grew and sold her prized begonia’s, is now home to Mother Botanical. the carriage house barn, located beneath the Bakery, is presently our pop-up art gallery, featuring a revolving roster of local artisans. In the gardens, many of our cacti and trees were planted by Alice herself, nearly 100 years ago. Still family owned and operated, Loma Vista continues to be a centerpiece of Big Sur, and a place for the community to gather in times of celebration.

Cafe Basque
1060 S Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90015, USA
- Spaces for 24-100 Guests
- 6 Restaurants
"Café Basque Los Angeles is a love letter. Straddling the borders of France and Spain, wedged between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic, the Pays Basque (Basque Country) is fiercely independent and culturally and linguistically distinct from anywhere in the world. The cooking is joyful, generous and uncomplicated. Overflowing with excellent local products from the mountains and the sea, it has the particularity of being marked by the use of sweet and mildly hot peppers. Named after a town in the mountains above the port of St Jean de Luz, Espelette peppers were imported from central and south America in the 16th century and are a cornerstone of Basque cuisine in the same way that the American tomato has defined a large part of Italian cooking. Meanwhile, amid this rich culture and history, the Basque coast has been one of the world’s great surf destinations since the 1960s. Someone who writes a love letter is not necessarily a specialist on the subject and I do not pretend to be a specialist in Basque cooking. My love affaire is with France and its regions which have been an infinite source of inspiration to me for more than 20 years. To identify the essence of each cuisine and remain loyal to the approach and then to share it with each restaurant - colleagues and customers alike - is a source of particular personal satisfaction." — Chef Daniel Rose
