Best Farm To Table Restaurants in Toluca Lake

My hostess was AMAZING. Such a sweetheart, thanks girly! and thank you to Josh for the warm welcome, making sure I was attended to, and heartfelt conversation as I am new to the city. Newly vegan as well and the SPICY PASTA + Plant Based Chicken is my all time favorite and exactly why I returned! Great solo date location. Thank you so much, I hope to be back.

Rick and I ordered the price fix menu We started with the pear, grape Gorgonzola with pine nut salad, the main was duck( cooked perfectly)with thin potatoes. The dessert was pudding like made with yogurt. Honestly, it was one of the most scrumptious meals ever. My husband even commented on how many yums were coming out of my mouth. The service was very good.

At breakfast I had the best congee I ever had in the United States at San Laurel. The ingredients were spectacular. Home made dried pork hash was made from jamon iberico and their XO sauce was also homemade by the chef. I shall order congee for breakfast every time I stay at Conrad Downtown LA.

Shirley Brasserie was a wonderful dining experience that paired the great atmosphere of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel with great food. The Restaurant occupies a quiet part of the Lobby area and is large enough to find seating but intimate enough to feel separated from other diners. The menu is spartan but focused, as is the wine list. The appetizers we had were first-rate and handsomely presented. I would recommend the chicken liver mousse, as it was special and hadn't seen it elsewhere. I consider myself an expert on duck and generally prefer it roasted, as many restaurants don't really have the expertise to properly sear it. Not true here. The duck was properly spiced and glazed and seared just right. For this style of preparation, I've not had better. The Shirley Brasserie is not inexpensive, but considering the quality of the food and service (which was also outstanding), I would rate it as a good value. Something for a special occasion.

Going to miss this place! Great service and great food. If you can get there on their last day do it!
