Pretty much a perfect dining experience. Rarely have I felt so welcomed in any place. Every single menu item was an absolute banger. There was nothing at all meh. Everything was well considered and thoroughly thought through. 10/10.

We made a reservation to try Fixins Los Angeles. The service was outstanding from the greeting at the hostess desk to the wait staff to the delivery of our food. Parking was tricky because there was a LA Kings game. The food came out extremely quick - literally 2 minutes after we ordered. The collard greens were good but had a little vinegar taste, fried chicken was delicious, but the star of the meal was the cornbread muffin. Melt in your mouth!
