In Short – With a friendly staff and warm ambiance, this family-owned eatery-cum-nightclub tends to live up to its name. With a soothing blend of mahogany and neutral accents, this posh neighborhood spot converts its two dining areas into a single ample nightclub for live entertainment on most evenings. The soulful music draws a refined yet amicable mix of local industry execs, musicians and young professionals looking to groove to unique adult contemporary and R&B beats.
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- Live music starts at 9:30pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays and 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.
- Look Good:
- House specialties like Indonesian chicken satay and calamari strips are available until the kitchen closes at 12am.

Just okay but, need improvements
by qteondty at Citysearch
I mean we know if we go to Flemings it will be pricey. This place has an advantage with live music. I hope Flemings get music because for the high price and you are not even amoung high class people. For V-day and NYE they up the prices and squeeze you in. Hello I dont' want to be forced to sit so close to strangers. Even in emails to the owner he is not that customer service friendly I guess he feels he doesn't have to. But, in this recession you still do.
- Pros: Local
- Cons: Small dining area and pricey

Nowhere better in LA
by apayton12 at Citysearch
I've eaten here many times. Never a disappointment. The food is SUPERB. The service is great. The prices are incredibly reasonable. The choices on the menu, too. And the desserts! OH!
It does get a bit loud on the live-music nights, but there is seating outdoors, too.
- Pros: great atmosphere, Fantastic food, great prices

Great Free Live Jazz & R&B
by cbucka at Citysearch
Cafe Cordiale has to be the best live music spot in what most people call The Valley, but what I like to call, "The Ventura Corridor." Great social scene mixed with regulars at the bar. Food is excellent, but be sure to get there early if you want to be there for the band!
- Pros: Great Live Music Spot, Good Food, Good Bar Spot
- Cons: Can get crowded, a bit expensive

A Refreshing Classy Casual Place
by duvon at Citysearch
We just moved to the valley and were looking for a local place to "hang our hat." This place is everything the other reviews said it was, nice atmosphere but not pretentious, great food, great service - and yes the owner does walk around and seat you/shakes your hand. We went early (baby at home, babysitter = $$) so we were with the "twilight" crowd but upon exiting around 8:30pm a younger more diverse crowd were entering. We will definately be going back to this place. Great wine selections and priced nicely. You can also eat/drink at the bar. Very convenient and comfortable with good food! It's perfect for families (if you go early) and perfect for a night life as well, later in the evening.
- Pros: Affordable, Great Food, Free Parking

great place to have a first date...
by sweet12 at Citysearch
I love the ambiance as well as their food. It is a very classy restaurant, so it's more of a place where u can take a date or a loved one. Although it can be a little crowded in dinner time when the live band plays, probably due to word of mouth of how incredible this place is, so i would recommend making reservations ahead of time.
- Pros: romantic, free parking, live music

Zagat Survey states, "It might be strange to see such a place in the Valley, but pretty people flock to this little gem in Sherman Oaks for drinks, dinner and a very classy variety of live jazz and R&B; though you may rub elbows with a tourist from Duluth, inside sources know this cozy 'no-cover' cool spot is a top-notch musician hangout."
We look forward to your visit at Cafe Cordiale.
