Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Elysian Valley

Celebrated my bday with family, amazing atmosphere and ambiance. Will definitely go for other events .

We've dined at the original Civico in San Diego before, and were excited to try their new location in Los Angeles and bring along our close friends who are vegan to test their vegan menu as well. To no surprise, their food was absolutely perfect, and on a rainy day the ambiance, wine, and flavors were cozy, friendly, and we didn't feel rushed to scarf down our meal and move along. The textures of the vegan cheeses were all divine, and the tiramisu (which we put head-to-head) were both to die for.

Had a great dining experience Fri., 11/22/24. Our server Matt was wonderfully attentive and had extensive knowledge of the menu and cocktail list. The food was great, thoughtful preparation and complex flavor profiles. The live music and holiday decor elevated our experience. Looking forward to our next visit.

Overrall, great experience, flower package was a plus for anniversary celebration

Worth a visit for breakfast whether you're shopping the LA Flower Mart or not! I changed up and went with the shrimp n grits. The grits were better than most in town and the dish was flavor-packed! I could go for more grits in the serving though. My date had the crab benedict which she loved, with the exception of the biscuit. I had to agree, it was a little too dense. You can't miss with the chicken and waffles here. I also tried the Rose Mojito for the first time and the second time, lol! Really good, so be careful!
