We ordered the branzino for the 3 of us along with a tostada and brussels sprouts. Excellent.

Everyone in our world has been telling us that we have to try Dunsmoor; it's the best restaraunt in Los Angeles. That's verbatim what everyone has told us. So, naturally, going into this experience, my wife and I had high hopes and usually, those hopes are generally squashed quickly. Not so with Dunsmoor. It was an incredible experience and it lived up to the proverbial hype. I found the restaurant to be inviting, charming and perfectly lit. I found the service to be superb. My wife and I were met with wonderful hospitality. The food was exceptional and even more impressive is the thought that all of the prep work for dinner is done so without the use of any electric. Elbow grease only. I don't care how you look at it, that's impressive. You should absolutely attempt to make a trip to Dunsmoor if you have the opportunity to do so. It is unequivocally worth it.

Having been to Bavel many times, it was nice to try Saffy's. While there are some similarities, I loved the uniques food -- the Saffron Muscles, Humus choices and kabob's are a must-- the less noisy and smaller sized restaurant was appreciated. The menu offered wonderful choices. The vibe was casual and it felt like a neighborhood place rather than a must be seen restaurant. Highly recommend going to Saffy's.

Excellent service! Turkey avocado sandwich was delicious as was the gazpacho.
