Look for the ★. We've marked the Mayors of Studio City — the bartenders, servers, owners, and lifers who make a place feel like itself. Tell them we sent you. The NEW tag means newly opened, with the month so you can judge for yourself. The plate icon means a Michelin nod. And the ♥ is a Debbie's Pick — places I personally love.
