Best Organic Food Restaurants in Echo Park

A unique experience to the flagship Vespertine, we had a wonderful evening where each criteria of a conventional fine dining experience was impeccably addressed, but with the addition of artistry and creativity of menu signature to V. Knowledgeable, accessible, and friendly staff accentuated a complete, satisfying meal. Thanks!

Had a wonderful time celebrating my partner's birthday. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the restaurant's ambiance was perfect. We loved the location and the decorations, it's a beautiful restaurant, it reminded me of old L.A. We will definitely be coming back for more.

We enjoy going to the theater and are always looking for a good place to get a meal before or after. We tried San Laurel for the first time and were delighted. The service (thank you, Johnnie) couldn’t have been better. He asked before we ordered and what time the show was so he could be mindful of the timing of the courses. My husband and I aren’t meat eaters so we kept to the appetizer section and ordered several of the vegetarian options to share. The olive oil cracker with membrillo and cheese was heavenly, the eggplant, and wild mushrooms both had sauces that made us want to lick the bowls clean. The only downside was the restaurant seemed a bit noisy due to all the hard surfaces with nothing to help absorb sound. We ate relatively early and the dining room was half empty so I wonder how loud it would be at full capacity. I’m looking forward to going back again and hopefully for a matinee show so we can try brunch.

This place is always amazing. Unique and so much fun. The people I took with me were floored, hah.

Great place! Great food! Love the ambience so much too
