In Short – This Glendale destination spot was designed by Peg O'Brien (Republic) and features an organic motif with natural materials and eclectic cultural influences throughout the series of flowing indoor/outdoor spaces. The venue also includes a chef's table, lounge, dancing in the nightclub and private cabanas. An international menu offers sushi and robata, along with dishes like black-truffle steak tartar, jumbo crab with quail egg and sevruga caviar, green-mango-seared tuna, hazelnut-crusted filet mignon and grilled spiny lobster tail.

  2. had a great experience and will return again to dine & to go clubbing.

  5. Upon return to our table, the food was disappointingly warm since it didn't have enough time to sit in the warmers.

Impressed

by CPenn

We had a gift card and came here for dinner: amazing food! (especially since our gift card covered most of the bill)

They have great appetizers and drinks for $5. All of them are amazing, especially the sliders and the Tuna Roll. I highly recommend the steak or sweet potato fries.

As many others mentioned, this venue is large, and a beautiful setting for families or couples.

Glendale's Hidden Gem

by IQtaste

When i first went to Minx I thought the setting was very romantic. It was the perfect place for my frist date, she was very impressed!

The server, Brenna, came right away to greet us and made us feel very comfortable. We ordered Pinot Noir and calamari to start. The order came right away without delay. We were also presented to our busser Erwin who brought us freshly baked bread and honey-butter. We order the New York Steak and Ahi Tuna which were both amazing (we shared). The steak was cooked to my satisfaction and the Ahi Tuna was very nicely decorated. When we were all done Erwin came right over to pick up the dishes and was very polite in doing so. Brenna introduced us to the desserts and we had the Pumpkin Cheesecake which was very different and deliscious. The manager came over and made sure everything was ok. Great spot, highly recommended!

  • Pros: Tasty food, beautiful setting, great lighting

Good place for a date

by Stasia

It's been about a year since I ate here, but I drove by it the other day and remembered what a fabulous experience it was! We came in for dinner and sat on the patio. The lighting and ambiance set a tone for a beautiful night.

Everything I remember about it (food, service, etc) were absolutely perfect.

This truly is one of the most underrated romantic restaurants in L.A.

  • Pros: Very Romantic Setting, Beautiful Patio View

Stunning place in Glendale

by SethY

I have been getting emails for Minx for a while, so I thought I should give a it a try. Great decor and spacious. Celebrated birthday with dinner and approximately 12 guests. Loved it since right after dinner went out on the patio, outdoor patio is nice with a bar and stunning views. Ordered filet with lobster mashed potato and was delish. Service was attentive and manager on duty was a great help with wine suggestions. It took more than one try to make reservations, this place gets packed on weekends with private events since they have a separate section for private events. The manger mentioned Wine Tasting on Wednesdays, will be back for wine tasting for sure. Great place in Glendale.

  • Pros: Great place for Birthday party, outstanding food
  • Cons: make reservations
