"In May 2026 my father will be turning 95 years old! We, his three children, wish to throw him a party for about 12 people. Some guests will be elderly with walkers and canes. We would love to host this on a budget and preferably either in the San Fernando Valley or on the Westside. If it really fits the bill, we would consider other parts of Los Angeles as well. Maybe a lovely patio or some sort of charming restaurant that harks back to another time that my father would enjoy."
"When I think about nostalgic eateries, Casablanca in Venice is the first spot that comes to mind. Open since 1980, the old-school Mexican restaurant doubles as a shrine to the 1943 film of the same name. It offers all of the Mexican classics you'd expect (burritos, tacos and quesadillas) and even has a margarita cart. There's an outdoor patio (which can be reserved for a fee on Thursdays or Sundays),"
A 95th-birthday celebration for about 12 people requires a senior-friendly, accessible, budget-conscious venue with patio seating. The hosts prefer locations in the San Fernando Valley or on the Westside, with willingness to consider other Los Angeles neighborhoods. A nostalgic, charming restaurant that evokes another era is the preferred vibe. Casablanca in Venice is noted for old-school Mexican classics, a margarita cart, and a reservable outdoor patio on certain days, plus a birthday padlock ritual. The guest of honor is a retired game-show producer who enjoys the arts, writing, movies, comedy, sports and producing entertainment for seniors.
