Best Casual Restaurants in El Sereno

Loved it super delicious would decorate come back

Without doubt the best meal we’ve had this year. The chicken was outstanding but try the crab appetizer and the beef tartare roll. They were ridiculous. And the mushroom dish in the creamy sauce, I would come back just for that! Cocktails were so good too. Amazing dining experience.

Probably my favorite restaurant when I come to LA. The staff are as great as the food. The room is beautiful and I've never had a bad meal there.

Ah, Manual LA, the hidden gem nestled in the vibrant art district where parking is a bit challenging ! Who doesn't love a limited-time weekend affair where reservations are as essential as your morning coffee? Trust me, you'll want to secure your spot in advance to avoid the dreaded waitlist of doom. As for the menu, prepare to be swept off your feet by the ocean trout tartare – it's a love letter to seafood that even Poseidon would approve of. The burrata is a creamy delight with delight cucumber that will make you question why you've ever eaten anything else. And then, there's the French toast, a carbohydrate devil that could easily moonlight as dessert. If you're someone who finds carbohydrates utterly captivating (and let's be honest, who isn't?), Manual LA is your carb-laden paradise.

I dined here last night, and I appreciate the experience I gained with such an attentive and polite staff welcoming us into their cozy and warm ambience of the restaurant. The food was exceptional: all the flavors and quality really stood out to me. I hope to be coming back here soon, hopefully, multiple times.
