Best Restaurants for People Watching in Echo Park

Totally packed on a Friday night, had to lean across the table to hear each other. Our server suggested we order 5 starters and two entrees for the 3 of us which felt like upselling. We got 3 starters and 2 skewers and the 2nd skewer was more than we needed. The menu prices are, like all restaurants in LA since the pandemic, dizzyingly, insanely high. Of the starters, the celery root was exceptional. The two skewers were delicious but, at the end of the day, they are undressed flame-cooked meat. We can make that at home. It seems Saffy's will be fine without us.

Madison was an amazing host. Her customer service and hospitality was top tier! Manager was also very kind enough to make accommodations for my autistic son. All servers were great as well but Madison’s kindness stood out the most. The food and drinks were also very good. I had a French 75 for the first time and it was enjoyable. I don’t usually drink gin because of the taste, but you can barely taste it.

Over all ok the service was little slow with bring appetizers not giving us time to fished before dinner was served.. great Great atmosphere live music prices point for 4 people

Our server Geoff was Amazing! Immediately after seating me as I was waiting for my guest he let us know if we needed anything we could ask another server to assist. He was very attentive and one of the best servers I’ve had! My experience before wasn’t so great the last time I went, but I’ll be asking for him every time! Definitely coming back…thanks for making my experience one of the best ones I’ve had Geoff! They definitely need more servers like you!!!!

We sat at the bar and the bar tenders were great and made it fun!
