Best Family Style Restaurants in Atwater Village

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.

A Truly Memorable Dining Experience We had the pleasure of dining at Momed yesterday, and it was nothing short of exceptional.

The service was outstanding—our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, ensuring that every detail of our meal was perfect. They anticipated our needs without being intrusive and made us feel truly valued as guests. The food was simply exquisite. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, everything was prepared to perfection. It’s clear that the chefs put great care and passion into their work, and it truly elevated our dining experience. The ambiance added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. Whether it was the subtle lighting, the elegant decor, or the overall vibe of the restaurant, everything contributed to a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Overall, [Restaurant Name] delivered an unforgettable experience that we will cherish for a long time. It’s rare to find a place where both the food and service excel at such a high level, and we can’t wait to return. A big thank you to the entire team for making our evening so special! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a dining experience that combines impeccable service, delicious food.

Had such a beautiful dinner with my family for my birthday. The whole staff is kind and accommodating. The drink menu is inventive and pairs exquisitely with the menu. I recommend ordering family style and definitely getting their Leche de Tigre, and Bang Bang! Tostada. Special shout out to Jesse, our server, their expo/chef, and bar manager who was so helpful in letting us pick out Mezcal to bring back to the table. Also to the host team for figuring out our reservation changes. Y’all are too amazing! Thanks for a special night. We’ll be back. ✨ 🩵✨

quickly became one of my favorite restaurants in LA. It’s expensive but worth every penny, especially as the restaurant is pretty generous with the portions. The Pane with pistachios and ricotta is amazing along with the the broccolini caesar salad. The uni pasta is simple and elegant, and one of the best i’ve had, especially topped with grade A uni. Don’t skip dessert and take any digestifif offered. $350 for 2 people. Not cheap, but well worth it and unique amongst the many high end choices in Los Angeles

Oh my gosh, where do I start! First off, so super cute. The ambiance is sweet and feels like a little slice of magic. This was my first time here. We came to celebrate my birthday, there were 7 of us. We got seated right away in a comfortable area with enough space to enjoy ourselves. Abraham was wonderful in getting us started with our orders! We ordered the Pear and Brie pizza ( yummm) , the lamb hummus, the Chilaen sea bass, omg, so good, the petite filet, mac and cheese, and more. Michael was out server, he also took such great care of us. I could eat here every night and not tire of it. The food was delicious, the desert. The BEST Cake is out of this world and service impeccable. Well done Bacari!
