Lauren: Try the Amanda cocktail and the shrimp cakes! Also love the brick chicken. Great new neighborhood spot - one of the few places in LA where they always have room! Great bar!
Melissa Presby: Hands down, a great neighborhood gem. The corn fritters app is a great starter. The burrata salad with cumin dressing is a must-have. Not the biggest fan of their oysters but they are $1 on Tues!
Erika Robbins: This place has a great vibe and awesome comfort food. The sweet potatoes are tasty, and I haven't had a cocktail I didn't enjoy.
Drew Shannon: A great new neighborhood spot with incredibly friendly service. Both of our dishes (breakfast burrito and lobster Cobb salad) we're awesome.

Becca: Great neighborhood spot! Get the soft pretzel and the fall seasonal beer (Autumn Maple, how I love thee)
Nidhi Kay: pizza is amazing!! had clam pie, anchovy one, and one with rosemary so so good def recommend
Alex Robertson: Prob a perfectly fine beer and wine bar with fancy decor and vinyl blastin but the annoying bartender with the mustache soured me on it
Derek Fromson: Awesome neighborhood vibe of mostly Mom and Pop shops with a smattering of chains. Low key atmosphere remains a local gathering spot instead of a tourist hangout. Sunday AM Farmers Market is nice too.
@irabrianmiller: Two decent spots to eat: Village Pizzeria & Larchmont Wine and Cheese
Angela Gyetvan: Like living in an episode of "Cheers" - in this 'hood, everybody knows your name.
