We had to park around the corner in a really disgusting area that was full of trash, dog poop and smelled really terribly of urine and sewage. That being saidddd! The Shepard's Pie was sooo good, it is my new favorite. Served in a skillet, it was a big, piping hot portion that's enough for 2 whole meals! It paired absolutely beautifully with a pint of their Bike Shed Brew. I felt like I was in London, spot on! The only thing I would add is some HP Sauce and/or Tabasco. I waited 10 years to finally check this place out and it was absolutely worth it! I'd love to bring people, my girlfriend even said it would be an amazing wedding venue, we just wish they had a better parking situation.

My boyfriend and I first visited Bike Shed about two years ago for a friend's get-together, and we…read moreabsolutely loved it. He is definitely a bar person and really appreciates places with a great beer selection, so this spot immediately stood out to us. Fast forward to my birthday. I was dealing with the birthday blues and didn't feel like doing anything too big, but I still wanted to celebrate with a small dinner. Another restaurant I considered was completely booked, so we chose Bike Shed. Honestly, I should have made it my first choice! Booking was incredibly easy, everyone was so kind, and our table was ready as soon as we arrived. It wasn't overly crowded, which made the evening feel relaxed, and parking was easy for all of my friends. The food was amazing, and the prices were very reasonable. We all work hard for our money, and sometimes you want a great dining experience without spending more than $150 per person. Everyone had such a great time, and the entire evening was exactly what I needed for my birthday. We also had no idea Bike Shed was dog friendly! As soon as we walked in, we saw two dogs inside with their owners, which made us love the place even more. My boyfriend and I will definitely be returning. Next time, we're bringing our dogs!

It's conveniently located to the LA Convention Center, Crytpo.com arena, and LA Live which makes it a must visit before or after an event! I am obsessed with their happy hour, which offers healthy items at discounted prices with generous portions! I have been here so many times throughout the years but most recently found myself here during a busy World Cup match! Regardless, the service and quality of food was not sacrificed! I was greeted as soon as I got there and the bartenders were overwhelmed but still friendly and helpful. I was so tempted to get a margarita, since theirs are amazing, but decided to keep it dry and just get their vegan nachos. I was able to score a table outside on their lovely patio, which felt secluded enough from the main street. My food was brought out quicker than I thought and I was delighted, as I was famished! The vegan nachos here are fantastic and the happy price is only $10, which is a steal for what you get! They are costed in the most magical concoction of a bean puree, cashew cheese sauce, and guacamole which all have the most creamy, luscious and savory flavors. It's so hearty and well seasoned and not only filling, but you feel great after. Parking is pretty easy, as there are usually ample meters available nearby. I cannot wait to return again soon the next time I'm in Downtown LA! I am hoping to try more of their vegan options and next time I will for sure get a drink to go along with their delicious food!

I ordered the Espresso Martini, and it tasted pretty watered down and lacked the bold coffee flavor I was hoping for. On the bright side, the food was definitely the highlight.

Overall, I'd come back for the food, but I'd probably steer clear from cocktails and order a real drink.

On my first visit, I tried their Chicken and Waffle. Whoa, a large pile of crispy chicken tenders atop a Belgian waffle. It was too much for me, but I powered through the chicken. It came with two metal containers of syrup. One was very spicy, the other was "normal" maple syrup. I enjoyed this meal, $38.11 with coffee, including tax and 20% tip. Rating: 4. On my second visit, I ordered the Veggie Breakfast. Two eggs, a grilled Portobello mushroom cap, sliced avocado, six grilled cherry tomatoes, sauteed spinach, a piece of sourdough toast, a block of feta, and containers of butter and catsup. With coffee, this cost $39.47, including tax and 20% tip. This breakfast caused me distress ... Whether it was too much oil, the butter, or the feta ... I was ill for 2 hours afterward. Note to self: Do not order this breakfast again. Rating: 2. Service was very good. Rating: 4.

Anyhow, my family and I were driving back home after participating in a hiring event for my son (first paid job -- so proud of him!) We were all hungry and since we were in a part of town we had not been to before did a quick search. Decided on "The Neighborhood Cafe" and headed over! We were greeted by " The Los Angeles Gentlmen" motorcycle club -- couldn't have been nicer! Then we walked in and were greeted warmly by the owner and his daughter, Cheryl. We were immediately seated and made comfortable. Cheryl took our orders and could not have been nicer/friendlier. Very spacious and cute atmosphere. Ordered and after a little bit of a wait (Due to food made to order BTW!) I had the absolute best chicken and waffles ever. IT WAS A 1/2 CHICKEN seasoned to perfection -- flavorful and juicy! The waffle was clearly homemade and also flavorful. The hot honey was a sweet/spicy welcome addition. My family also REALLY enjoyed their dishes!! We live on the westside so we will not be able to get over as often as we would like :( BUT I work near downtown so I can see me grabbing take home every once and awhile! I was just telling my wife I want to go back and get that again!! :) :) :) For those of you visiting the area looking for delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere, I highly recommend "The Neighborhood Cafe". For those of you who live in the area either go or go BACK and support this gem!

Every bite was phenomenal. I also couldn't resist ordering the squash blossoms off the menu (cooked tempura style), and they did not disappoint. On top of the restaurant experience, their famous cafe and bakery counter is packed with the most gorgeous pastries and sweets. The entire place is a vibe, and I already can't wait to go back!

Also, had the apple turnover which was enough to make me increased to start reading from one to me.

However, when we got back to the hotel, we were able to re-cook the sandwich and it turned out fine. I would still give this restaurant chance, especially since their baguettes and pastries are delicious. Disappointing. Sadly not what it used to be. Bottega Louis WAS our favorite go to restaurant when we visit LA. Unfortunately it has gone downhill. We came here to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We ordered the Louis Salad with blue crab and Croque Madame. While the salad was as delicious as I remembered, the Croque Madame was completely undercooked and the bread was soggy. We returned the sandwich as asked them to grill it longer. It took so long to recook that we had to leave and they gave it to us in a togo box without even an apology. Even the bread that they serve with the meal has gone downhill. We ended up buying a baguette. At least the baguettes are still decent. But overall a disappointing lunch.

Torta Gigante de asada is as the name states, giant! I got thru half of it and it was delicious! The slices of pickled jalapeños added a nice bite and the wonderful waitress brought me more jalapeños. Taco de pescado, breaded fish with a wonderful spicy mayo sauce on top Tostada mixta- by far one of the best mariscos I've had in quiet some time. The octopus was AMAZING!! not chewy at all and the combination of the other seafood: shrimp and fish was well balanced. I could have added tapatio but by the time that came to mind I had devoured the 3 tostadas it came with. Huevos con tocino (bacon and over medium eggs) just thinking about it makes my mouth water. The eggs were cooked to perfection. Served with rice and beans. We unfortunately missed the 1pm drag show, however we left with a positive impression and looking forward to going back.

I'd think, "There's a spot in my own neighborhood I can eat at without driving to Downey or Downtown LA." But for some reason it was never my first thought. I think it's because when I'm going out to eat, I usually want to escape my own area. Today I finally gave it a try, and I was sincerely impressed. I walked in and was greeted right away. I asked a few questions about the menu and requested a substitute, and I didn't get any weird looks or pushback, which honestly happens more often than you'd think in 2026. The walls had beautiful artwork, and my server, Kevin, was fantastic. He checked in every few minutes to make sure I had everything I needed, and it felt genuine, not like he was just going through the motions for a tip or a paycheck. You can tell the difference. I ordered the horchata French toast with fresh fruit and a lavender latte, and the presentation was next level, the kind of plating you'd expect in Beverly Hills, Century City, or parts of Polanco, Mexico. It was beautiful, the food was excellent, and I was taken care of every step of the way. I'm writing this review because this place deserves to be seen and deserves to keep growing. I'm not compensated in any way, shape, or form, this comes straight from the heart. If you've been sleeping on this place, give it a try. It's not in the flashiest part of LA, and I'm okay with that since I live in the area, but once you step inside, you're transported somewhere else entirely. Don't sleep on this place. Give them a shot and you'll find yourself coming back sooner than you expected.
