Best Wineries in Echo Park

We had a few snags being seated. The restaurant has a large draft area and when we asked to be moved to another two top that was empty we were told no as it was reserved. Except so was our table. The dinners were after us that took the table. We were offered a communal table seat by the manager but the host - he would not budge and honestly had an attitude all night even when we thanked him and said good night. We pushed the seating aside and dug into the menu with our waiter who was super attentive. Explained all the dishes. Made excellent recommendations and spaced everything out perfectly. He made sure we knew dishes were to be shared which we usually like to do anyway but made this made our choices even better. Let me just say start with the dates- you will be drinking the butter they are in! We added chicory with bacon vinaigrette which was a warm tasty bite of goodness. One of my favorites was the seasonal squash with farmers cheese. I can’t wait to eat the left overs! Then the main mushroom crusted pork chop. It’s literally one of the largest chops I have seen. So delicious. Get yourself some cheddar potatoes to round out your meal! We came with enough packages it looked santa had come early! The staff is supper attentive and continually acknowledged our anniversary which was so wonderful. The manager went above and beyond to assist. Everyone there seems to help each other and it creates a welcoming atmosphere that makes us want to dine again. Make sure you get a reservation as we are already looking at booking our next one.

Family ate like we hadn’t seen good before. The crab cake was delectable and my filet mignon was cooked perfectly. There was Cioppino, sushi, strip steak and key lime pie. Lots of drinks. Kelly was our wonderful guide to the menu, very professional. Highly recommended.

Steaks were cooked to perfection. Lamb chops were the talk of the table. Lobster Mac & Cheese was ok, wife loved the cream corn.

It was half an hour to closing so it was quiet inside. We really appreciated getting a reservation last minute and that they were so accommodating at 9:30pm. We were quick to not be disrespectful being the last ones in there or to keep the staff too late (hate being those people). We had the Caesar salad and the lettuce was cold and crisp. Our bone in ribeye sliced was the perfect medium rare. My favorite side dish that I rarely get to have is the lobster Mac and cheese. The best Mac and cheese around with cavatappi pasta noodles. We also took a carrot cake home because that is also one of my favorite carrot cakes in all of LA. We were celebrating my fiancé coming home from a successful work trip so it was the perfect ending to our date night after picking him up from the airport. We had never been to the LA location and it is just as wonderful as the other Flemings locations.

Everything was made fresh and with great quality food. We ordered the grilled octopus, it had great flavor & grilled nicely but still very chewy and somewhat tough. Probably should have been boiled a little longer before grilling. Lamb chops were the best dish but the portions were small. All in all 6.8 out of 10 bigger portions would change my mind
