Just because a bar or restaurant is popular and trendy doesn’t mean that you need to avoid it—you might be missing out on a great dining experience. The first thing to do is just get a reservation and that will probably help you avoid long lines and waiting forever to be seated. Popular restaurants are usually popular because they are so good. Here is a quick list of three great spots to try near your Sherman Oaks apartment. Just be sure to make a reservation a week or so in advance. Good luck and good eating.
