Fried Chicken Sando: 
 honey sriracha sauce, brioche bun, pickled slaw, spices, fries
Ari G.

The chicken sandwich was decent, but honestly not enough to make me want to come back. The sandwich had a good balance of toppings, but overall it just didn't wow me. The biggest miss for me was the fries. They had basically no seasoning, which made the whole plate feel a little underwhelming. Vicky's has a cute, laid-back vibe, and I can see why people like it. However, based on this meal, I probably wouldn't go back.

We happen to be in this area going to church and I found this quaint place. As soon as you walk in you feel like you're in another city feels like a movie set almost like you're in a Newyork bistro. We were served by a great server very attentive, and I could tell they took pride in their jobs as if they owned it. The food was amazing not a huge menu, but just enough and a good variety. Will be back to try the chicken sandwich.

Truffle Burger
Mae M.

Nice restaurant, has diner vibes but a more elevated cuisine than your typical diner food. Came with a group of friends and everyone liked their food. I got the Truffle Burger which had Truffle and Mushroom (yum!) and my husband got the Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Both were very sizeable portions. Costs are average for LA and parking is difficult, it's always hard to find spots in this area.

Vicky's All Day is Still my favorite restaurant. Its like a champion that will not be defeated. I'm gonna talk about two separate occasions. Came here one time to have the chicken sandwich, it was really, really good, and also had a side salad and then the barbecue chicken pizza. It was a lot of food but it was very good. Then came back again with my wife and had the Shakshouka which is my favorite meal. The sauce was so good, the vegetables were so good, and I paired it with a fried chicken breast. It was just great food. My wife had the salmon tacos. Great vibe in here and awesome service check out the pictures. The pictures alone get two snaps up.

I tried going to Vicky's a All Day a couple of weeks ago, but after circling the area looking for a parking spot, I gave up. I decided to give it another try and lucked out and found a spot. Parking in this area is always a challenge. The restaurant itself is cute, but it has a lot of hard surfaces, which means the noise has nowhere to go. It wasn't crowded when we arrived, so it wasn't an issue at first. As the place filled up, I noticed the noise level rising, but it never became a real problem. I like it when there is an open kitchen. Our server was cordial and took our order right away, but she never came back to check on us. At the end of the meal, we had to flag her down to get a to-go box and the check. Overall, the service was good but not great. I had the pizza, and my friend had the chicken and waffles. I was surprised by the portions, which were more than generous. The chicken and waffles was a piece of art and is probably one of the better versions we've had in Los Angeles. The pizza looked great, but when I picked it up, it was soggy and all the toppings slid off. I ended up having to eat it with a knife and fork. The flavor was good, but I think I would order something else next time.

Belgium Waffles
Eriko M.

Pretty decent food. Got the roast chicken sandwich. Very nice flavors. The bread was fresh and toasted perfectly. The fries were crispy and had just the amount of salt. Appreciate that they had decaf latte and that was pretty good too. The restaurant is on the small side so the tables are a bit close together. Parking is rough. I thought I read that there's valet but I didn't see it. All street parking. I was lucky and found a spot two blocks away.

Shakshuka with laffa, strawberry matcha latte, Avocado Toast.
E S.

Found this gem on Yelp and wanted to add to the positivity! Like most L.A. spots, it doesn't look like much from the outside. Upon entry however, it is clean and well lit with high ceilings that make it feel spacious and airy. We were seated right away and given a carafe of water. The menu's variety gives options for all different palettes. I came specifically to try shakshuka for the first time and was not disappointed. The rich sauce of tomato and red bell pepper was smooth but still had wonderful texture from whole roasted cherry tomatoes and velvety bell pepper strips. Inside, two poached eggs are nestled below toppings of whipped feta and cilantro. There is a bit of a kick from the blend of spices, but it doesn't linger on your tongue so much that it becomes the only flavor profile. This delicious dish is accompanied by a generous fresh baked laffa bread, dusted with spice and topped with sesame seeds. Accompanied by fresh squeezed orange juice, it was a satisfying way to start the day. My companion ordered the iced strawberry matcha latte which was beautifully presented with silky green matcha, and bright strawberry puree. Her meal, the avocado toast with greens and sunny side up eggs, was fresh and well presented. The eggs were cooked just right, the toast was crisp and the avocado ripe and buttery. One drawback for her was a heavy hand of lemon juice, giving the dish a more sour profile than preferred. Our server was prompt, checked on us often and made the flow of our meal quick, but not rushed, because we had an appointment just after. We were able to enjoy a full breakfast without a 2 hour dining expectation. Overall, I highly recommend Vicky's All Day for service, variety, and freshness. Bon Appetit!

Fried Chicken & Waffles
Brit W.

Loved it! We went on a Friday afternoon around 2 PM. There was no wait and it wasn't crowded. While deciding on my order, I saw someone with the chicken and waffles and decided to try it. The service was friendly. The place was nice, although I did not enjoy sitting next to the bussing area. Everything that hit the table was absolutely excellent. The chicken and waffles were actually chicken tenders that were fried well with a sweetness to them. The Greek omelet plate was delicious and it loved the French Toast Banana foster. The French Toast is one thick slice? But it was plenty of food. All in all, this is worth checking out.

Matcha Latte
Rosanne B.

Enjoyed a very pleasant brunch here. There is street parking on the main street and surrounding side streets. Check the signs as some is 1 hour and some 2 hour. The ambience is really nice, open and bright. The menu had several vegetarian options and had both breakfast and lunch dishes. Portions are very generous. I had a hot matcha latte ordered to my preferred level of sweetness (less sweet), and the sabich pita sandwich, an Israeli/Iraqi cold sandwich. It was delicious and came with a heaping pile of perfectly seasoned fries. Very satisfying! I'd love to come back and try some of the other interesting menu options.

Hummus & Laffa
Tara J.

Finally visited after seeing this spot on a number of posts recommending breakfast and lunch in West Adams. Easy walk up situation with a tablet out front where you can add your name to the wait list. Arrived around noon and only waited less than 10 minutes to be seated. Small space and busy on a Saturday but the staff moved quickly to clear tables for guests. Inside decor feels very cozy and like somewhere you want to be. Very lively and loud with patrons laughing and talking at the top of their lungs as they dine with friends and family. Service was quick and friendly. Food was fresh and the ingredients tasted great. My favorite was the hummus as it had tons of vegetables and complex flavors accompanied by a large piece of grilled laffa bread. Portions are large. My burger was seasoned well and stacked high. The Mediterranean salad was a bit wilted but the grilled shrimp and salmon that was added on top was delicious. I recommend stopping in whenever you are in the area if you're looking for tasty food, good service, a fun ambiance and walkable neighborhood. Lots of other eateries that I plan to try in the neighborhood.

This is truly one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. We were traveling from two hours away googled found this amazing place hidden Gem. The food was outstanding. Our server was the best. She was informative a tentative. The ambience was unexpected for the area truly.

Fried Chicken & Waffles, Roasted Chicken Sandwich, Margherita Pizza, Chicken Chilaquiles
Jocelyn Y.

Would 100% come again, just come early cause we waited an hour! A brunch or lunch spot with a cute interior, delicious food, and friendly service. Roasted chicken sandwhich was delicious- chicken juicy, delicious cheese, aioli, crispy fries. Chicken chilaquiles were as well. Tortilla still nice and crisp with the eggs and avocado- delish! Fried chicken and waffles - YUM. Margarita pizza - dough was yum and so were the tomato's on top. Definitely recommend the items we got.

fresh squeezed orange juice
Meya B.

Right away good service, friendly bubbly staff that greet you immediately. I appreciate when the juice is actually fresh and not just minute maid! It's a cute place too, clean and chic. The food was also really good! You can tell they use fresh ingredients so that made it even better. The chia seed pudding was actually a big hit, the flavors were amazing and tasted far better than your usual chia pudding with fruit. Great spot!

Naturally, we were thrilled when the Los Angeles location opened a few years back in the Arts District, but our first few visits left us disappointed. While the food was always good, the service felt kind of arrogant and snooty. GATG subsequently fell off our dining radar. However, a recent invitation to a private group event completely turned things around. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was flawless--starting with a warm welcome at the hostess stand and continuing with the incredibly attentive, friendly servers assigned to our room. Because it was a set menu for our party of 12, we ended up trying several dishes we wouldn't normally order on our own, and every single one was spectacular. The creative cocktails were equally impressive. While the location is, for us anyway, still a bit off the beaten path, the space itself is beautiful, featuring a gorgeous blend of indoor and outdoor seating. Our private dining room was lovely and comfortably hosted our group, though it could probably fit a few more. If you are looking to host a small group event with great vibes, stellar food, and top-tier service, I highly recommend giving them a look.

Coming from the San Fernando Valley, nearest Freeways are the 101 (Exit 2A - Alameda Street/Union Station) and the 5 (Exit 135A - 4th Street). There is limited street parking. We self-parked in a paid ($10 after 6 PM) structure attached to the complex. Venue 4 stars: Huge venue with indoor seating, a large bar area, and a nice rustic and relaxing patio area. Service 3.5 stars: Friendly and helpful but not very attentive. Food 3 stars: We stopped by for lunch on a weekday. They were serving their Brunch menu at that time. It featured a large assortment of offerings including soups, salads, specialty items such as Avocvado Toast and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, burgers, sandwiches and egg dishes such as Eggs Benedict, omelets, wraps and sandwiches and chillaquiles. We had the Zinc Benedict (Salmon), the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and the Avocado Toast. All were just OK but unfortunately lacked in plating/presentation and taste and were rather small for the price. Also their "poached" eggs are not really poached... they were steamed in molds, giving them more of a rubbery texture compared to a true poached egg.

At this price point, there are better restaurants with faster service to visit nearby. - - - - - - Zinc, what an element - pun intended. I've been wanting to visit for a while, not knowing what the interior or exterior looked like, with knowledge only that it was a popular spot. The entrance was difficult to find and may be heavy with that metal gate. I tried relentlessly to find a hostess this Friday night with success finally after five minutes. I ended up sitting outdoors by the calm, rectangular fountain. After about 10 minutes, a server checked in with me for ordering, but they never handed me a menu - awkward! Menu in hand, I ended up ordering their Truffle Fries and their Chicken Pesto Orecchiette. My server ended up bringing out water and generously a cup of ice (it was triple digit heat on this day). Finally after about 30 minutes, I had my Truffle Fries appetizer, and it was good with their dips. They were thin and crisp, though very heavily salted. Around quite literally 30 minutes later, the Chicken Pesto Orecchiette was ready and served. By this time, I was not so hungry anymore, but I still took a few bites. The chicken had potential, but it was super dry, perhaps overcooked. Though I enjoy a chewy pasta, the Orecchiette was pretty hard and not too al dente. My favorite part of this dish was probably the pesto and pine nuts. The sundried tomatoes were nice, though maybe a bit too sweet for this dish. Paying took about 15 minutes to flag down my server, and around another 15 minutes to get a takeout box. I'm not sure what it was that evening, but it was very slow. During my visit, I even saw a table get up and leave because of slow service - sad! I feel this is no fault of the server but rather the lack of staffing OR the large space. Perhaps having a smaller dining area for slower times may improve the dining experience.

Distrito Catorce combines exceptional food, a great atmosphere, and top-notch service. It's the kind of place that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even finished your meal. Definitely plan on coming back to watch more World Cup games.

I knew heading into Distrito Catorce that I wanted to see three things . The closing art exhibit,…read morehear the live band, and finally try Chef Jonathan's menu. It was basically a grand slam. To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

Manuela is one of the finest restaurants I've been to in a while. Everything was exquisite from the…read moremoment my group arrived. We were a party of 6 for dinner. We started with two recommended "must haves" - biscuits and cornbread. For 6 people, you only need two servings of each. Beautifully displayed. The evenly, golden brown cornbread, topped with a healthy dollop of soft creamy butter, melted in your mouth. The biscuits were light and flaky - you can see the gently layers as if it were a French croissant. Since we all wanted either chicken, pork chop and steak, we ordered one of each which was plenty for the 6 of us to share. The half chicken was so tender and popped with juice. Same with the pork chop which is hard to cook without being dry and tough. I cannot speak for the steak but those that devoured it said it was cooked to perfection. We ordered an assortment of vegetable side dishes to share - a chef that can turn vegetables into something so delectable that would make every taste bud in your mouth jump for joy, is heaven sent. Service was equally top-notch. The ambiance, with smooth music in the background and the perfect volume level where you all can have a comfortable conversation without trying to talk over loud noise. Lovely indoor or semi-outdoor dining seating. It was a memorable evening with fine cuisine & friends. Cheers to the chef and staff that made it magical.

I live right around the corner to Manuela and I would have to say it's my go to spot…read more You can just walk in and get a seat at the bar. The bartenders are chills and super accommodating. The ambiance is refreshing to see in Arts District. The food is great but you HAVE to get their biscuits and/or their cornbread.
