Best Authentic Restaurants in View Park

This is a great place to get something different. Our go to is Steak or Sushi, occasionally Mexican or Italian, and it was getting a bit tired eating the same things. This place is completely different, yet very simple. My mom is from Germany, so Lustig brought back great memories from my childhood when mom used to cook for us or even better, when Oma used to cook for the holidays! My husband is a really picky eater, so he normally will pick one dish and get that every time he goes to a specific restaurant. This time he was saying he wanted to come back to try other dishes (particularly the Schnitzel). The cocktails are phenomenal as well. My husband got the Sachertorte Old Fashioned, he always tries the old fashioned at every bar we go to... he loved this one. If you read the description it sounds like the drink will overwhelmingly taste like Chocolate. In my opinion, it's kind of like wine where there are tasting notes and aromas that create the overall experience, but even if you're not a chocolate person, you will still like this! I had the non-alcoholic Seaberry Buck, but got it spiked with vodka... that is a flavor bomb, so tasty! Think Moscow Mule, but with a tropical refreshing twist. Kevin, the bartender, was really helpful in describing the cocktails and also helping us select what we would order for dinner. We started with the Hamachi Crudo (amazing), very light and refreshing. Then we did the Crispy Garden Salad. Again, this was so much better than can be described on a menu! Finally, we had the 12h Braised Beef Cheek with Herb Spätzle (egg noodles). Besides the savory fall flavors being a perfect comfort food dish, this is great choice if you need to take out or reheat for left overs! Mike our server was great and he steered us toward a wine that was perfect with our eclectic meal. The Chef came out to check on us as well, which was really nice to get hear some of his backstory. Overall we highly recommend this restaurant, it checks all the boxes!

We loved our dinner from start to finish. We ordered salad to split, the half chicken and the lemon pasta and finished with profiteroles and gelato. Our service was perfect. The food was divine and every single dish was a hit. A special mention goes out to the corn dip and bread and crackers. We couldn’t get enough of the crackers or the dip. Definitely a staple restaurant that always manages a fresh menu with divine nourishing food made with love.

It’s one of the best restaurants top to bottom in LA. The food is impeccable, the service is top notch and the staff is so kind and cool, and it just is a special place

Very tasty food. Service is professional and the place has a great vibe. Great for all occasions. A wonderful place to eat after you enjoy the Grove and Farmers Market.

This little gem is discreetly tucked away in the urban scene but having a meal here is like an oasis. Great staff, great drinks, great service and delicious offerings makes this restaurant great for any occasion. Everything here is Instagram worthy and I always leave happy.
