    This was my first time indulging in Bavel and I’m surprised it took me this long! The food was better than I expected and definitely is a standout in terms of unique flavor that go beyond the normal LA food scene taste. The service is one to admire - excellent timing and a great explanation of every dish. We especially appreciated the napkin folding during “bathroom breaks”. Can’t stop thinking about the celery root and rack of lamb.
