I'm honestly surprised this place isn't more hyped because it has such a good atmosphere. It's super spacious with a ton of outdoor seating in both the front and back, plus this huge dining hall area. My date told me it used to be an old fire station from the 1920s, which definitely adds to the vibe. The whole place just feels really cool and unique, and I thought it was honestly so pretty. We went on a Wednesday night so it was basically empty idk if it's usually busy or not. The food was good, nothing super groundbreaking or out of the ordinary for me, but this is definitely more of a vibe spot in the best way possible. Our server was also really sweet. She noticed my nails were long and helped me out, plus gave me a really good drink recommendation, I think it was some kind of strawberry daiquiri, and I loved it. Overall, really good experience and I'd definitely come back. read more

Edendale - Fried Calamari + Vodka Pasta - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Went for a night out with friends and ended up staying longer for the vibe of the space. First things first, the other reviews are 100% correct when it comes to parking being difficult. Edendale is tucked away on a very busy street with limited street parking and even in the surrounding neighborhood we found it tedious with the amount of tow away signs, so plan ahead. Our group of four went on a Wednesday night so it wasn't busy at all, we decided to sit in the front outside area. Music playing, low lights, candles and greenery. Which be careful if you sit near the plants, lots of spiders and ants during our meal (yikes.) Service was great. Server was very chill and made sure to check in multiple times. Food was standard and drinks were good but nothing life changing. All in all what a cool space, Edendale being an old firehouse makes the ambiance really unique. There is a couple outside areas, one out front and closer to the back near the restrooms. Lots of options to sit inside or outside. Wouldn't necessarily go for the food but a very nice place to catch up with loved ones over a candle lit cocktail hour. read more

Edendale - Outside seating area near entrance - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Love Edendale. Beautiful, spacious vibe that nails the bar-meets-restaurant feel. Great front + back patio seating, so it's an easy go-to whether you want drinks or a full meal. Service is consistently friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Happy hour is legit: Monday 5-10pm, Tues-Fri 5-7pm, with solid deals on both food and drinks. Definitely one of the better happy hours in the neighborhood. read more

I just discovered Edendale today from some new Yelp friends of mine and decided to come try it out with my son. There is so much history embedded in this place! The area we now know as Silver Lake used to be called Edendale back in the day during the era of silent films, which is what the restaurant is named after. You can see black and white photos of stars from that era in the room where you first enter the restaurant. The building itself used to be a fire station and was later transformed into this restaurant in 2000. Very cool and neat backstory! It's a pretty big place with different rooms, a full bar and a beautiful patio. They even had a photo booth. The restaurant and bathrooms were also spotless clean. We were greeted by the lovely Becca and she took us to our table. Levi was our server and he was very kind and easy to talk to. He got our order in swiftly and everything came out correct and on time. For drinks, my son got the Bengal Tiger ($15) and I had an Apple Martini ($12 and light on the alcohol!). We shared a Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp ($25) and a side of Brussels Sprouts ($14). The salad was FRESH and the lettuce was crunchy. The shrimp was delicious and cooked to perfection, as were the Brussels Sprouts. For our entrees, Jaime brought out our orders with a smile. I ordered the Steak Frites ($40) and it was absolutely divine. It was exactly what a medium rare steak should be like. So juicy and flavorful, it melts in your mouth. My son got the Chicken Breast Au Jus ($27) which came with Celery Root Puree, Brussels Sprouts and Apple Cider Gastrique. He said he loved his food and wiped his plate clean. He said the chicken was very flavorful and juicy and cooked perfectly. We opted for no dessert this time around but we might get something sweet next time we're here. It's a bit of a pricey place but honestly, the quality was great and we very much enjoyed the service, ambiance, and history. Thank you Becca, Levi, Jaime, and Edendale for a lovely night! read more

Pretty cool spot with roomy backyard. Vibes is 1920s, or artsy casual. It's quite cute. I usually would not order chicken breast but it was surprisingly good. Crispy skin and meat was not dry at all. Mussels were delicious too. Happy hours 5- 7 pm (Tuesday to Sunday) & 5-10 pm on Mondays. read more

I came here with a couple of good friends for a late birthday celebration and what a meal we enjoyed. Shoutout to Levi that provided top-tier service and went above and beyond for us. I had the Spicy Rigatoni Allá Vodka and it was one of the best bowls of pasta I've eaten in the past DECADE (yes, it was that good). A friend ordered the Chicken Breast Au Jus and it tasted as good as you'd expect a chicken breast to taste... so, mid flavor but it truly is juicy and not dry at all (it's quite difficult to cook a chicken breast that's actually an appealing dish). My other friend ordered the Salmon Succotash and that was great. We also got a Charcuteried & Cheeses board to share amongst us (we had to get a 2nd order of the bread (at no extra cost) since the first one ran out rather quickly), and that was stellar as well. 10/10 food and 10/10 service. read more

Love this place! Perfect for a group gathering or a date. Patio is nice too. plenty of parking, but don't drink and drive

First time coming here on a Friday and I'm shocked it took me this long to stumble upon this gem. It was busy for a Friday night, but we were able to find a table right away after ordering our drinks. They have a great selection of drink options, though we decided to keep it simple with mezcal on the rocks. I loved the aesthetics and overall vibe of this place. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. read more

Edendale is an area of Silver Lake that used to be a major center for silent films. The restaurant feels like a mini museum of sorts of the silent film era with it's wall of pictures featuring actors of that time. The restaurant is in a former 1920's firehouse and has a patio that reminds you of a place in Europe, so it feels like a nice getaway spot from all of the city noise and traffic. The food is good but it's your standard American food. The cheeseburger I ordered was good but nothing special. The crafted drinks at the long beautiful bar are worth going to Edendale. And the openness at the bar allows one to rest without feeling cramped like some bar vibes can give you. read more

Sigh... another day in L.A., another pointless 17 dollar carbohydrate missile posing as a burrito. Just, stop. You're not jazzing it up with the dreaded Sysco tator tot. ("Letting Tator Tots Die" is another review I will leave elsewhere.) This particular Edendale version was dry and spirtiless. Not one spec of a fresh herb in sight. A tiny ramekin of tomato mulch posing as salsa was given to us. But frankly I have seen better flavor samples at the Alhambra Costco. I should have known better to trust a place that is filled with cigarette smoke at 11 a.m. on a Saturday. Smoking is permitted in the back garden area, but when the front door is open the smoke wafts through the entire restaurant and bar. The irony of this happening in a former fire house is not lost on me. Service was fine, if not tepid. My cocktail as fine, but it was mezcal, so smokiness was in-line with my olfactory sense. The biggest burn was the $4 upcharge for avocado. We are in California - get over yourself, Edendale. read more

Edendale - the Edenstale Burrito - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The last two times I've been here, it's been a genuinely unpleasant experience. To put it plainly: the people working here don't want to be here, and they make sure you feel it. I stopped in yesterday (Sunday) to catch up with friends. When no one came to our table for nearly 20 minutes, we walked up to the bar to order ourselves. The bartender was curt, and when my friend ordered a tea, she was told "that's going to take a while", then the bartender turned and walked away. No follow-up. No direction. Just an awkward silence. We weren't sure whether to wait at the bar or sit back down. We chose to sit. About 15 minutes later, one of us went to check on the tea and was told by a different bartender that they were still working on it. The bar had maybe five people in it. There is no version of events where a tea takes 35 minutes. Then came the part that crossed a line. When our waiter finally brought the tea to the table, we noticed lipstick stains on the glass. When we (politely) pointed it out, he smirked and said "we'll have forensics look at it" ... then walked back toward the bar, where we could clearly hear him mocking us for thinking the glass was dirty. A customer flagging a used glass in a food establishment is not an unreasonable complaint. It is, in fact, the bare minimum standard of hygiene. Not wanting to escalate, we let it go. He came back moments later with a clean glass and informed us, with apparent satisfaction, that "forensics' investigation was still going." If a basic public health concern registers as comedy to you, the food and beverage industry is not your calling. This place used to have something. Energy, warmth, a reason to come back. What's left is a hollow room staffed by people who've checked out , and unfortunately, they'd like you to feel as disengaged as they do. read more

There is something about Silver Lake that really speaks to me. In some ways, it reminds me of NYC where I grew up, i.e., the oldness, realness, grittiness even, but with the golden glow of Los Angeles. Because it is such an interesting area, it has a lot of one of a kind, niche restaurants. I think Edendale is one. Why? It's very pretty, quaint, old-fashioned, and comfortable. Originally, I had planned to sit inside but it was a warm, sunny February day and the lovely outdoor patio called to me. The entire time we were there, little unseen birds serenaded us and we were shielded from the road by a gorgeous wall of red and pink bougainvillea. Everything was delicious. We had vegetarian brunch items (see my pictures), ginger ale and coffee American style. I could not improve on any of it. Becca was a perfect server, efficient, friendly, cheerful and other staff stopped by to take care of us while we were there. It does seem like a team effort to keep patrons happy and it works. There were even some very well behaved pups that appeared to be enjoying their visit too. By the way, the prices are very modest for Los Angeles. We were very pleasantly surprised at the tab and there was no automatic charge. I cannot think of one element I would change at Edendale. I want a place like this to be here, exactly as it is, forever. read more

Great historic building. Love the architecture of this spot. Drinks are great. Only tried the biscuits and probably wouldn't try it again. Would love to try the other items. Lots of flies and ants though which bothered me quite a lot. read more

I wish I could give this restaurant a higher review... but have been disappointed with the service more often than not. Some people who work here seem to like their jobs, but others are so over it and they want you to know. Items from your meal may be missing, and they will be annoyed with the customer because of the mistake. If people in your party order nonalcoholic drinks, the waiters may snub them. At one breakfast, some people ordered coffee. The waiter apologized that they were out of the normal sized coffee cups, and gave us smaller ones. We didn't mind the small cups, but then she was annoyed with us when she refilled them... and we did mind her irritation with us for ordering coffee with breakfast. Would I recommend you go anyway? Solid, maybe... but not with your mom or a date. The atmosphere is lovely, which is important because it might be a long wait. Don't come too hungry. The food is tasty and expensive. Maybe eat at the bar? Then you can people watch if there is a long wait for your food. Will I be back? Probably, because I live nearby and everyone enjoys the thoughtfully designed decor, garden patio, and historic building, also tasty food and drinks. I'll try to come mentally prepared for whatever kind of waiter the waiter gods assign... but I hope we get a nice one next time. read more

Long overdue review: This place has a very special history and an incredible vibe. We got some friends together here for an engagement party back in December and had such a great time. Staff is incredibly welcoming. A real community bar and restaurant with great food and drinks. Thank you, Edendale! read more

Edendale is a top tier date and brunch spot. Great bites for brunch with drinks to match. I'm a big fan of their corn beef hash! Big pieces and not too salty. The establishment itself is a repurposed firehouse. The design, feel, and vibe is nice from the pictures on the wall to the furniture. There's also a front and back patio so there's a place to sit outside on a nice day. Service was great as well. We were seated quick and constantly attended to. read more

This place has a solid bar food menu. Not too many healthy options but still has a good variety. The building is an old firehouse with lots of space and charm. There is both indoor and outdoor seating and a full bar. The service was great the last time I was there. Don't expect the emphasis to be on the restaurant but it's a great place to meet friends and have some food while you are there. read more

Go there for the drinks. Very fun spot with a little balcony on the second floor. Service is kind but a little lackluster.

Went to an alumni event here on the patio. It was a lot of fun. Great place for group gathering. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the drinks.

I quite like this place! Good food, nice service, quirky decor. Pretty good cheeseburger. Great Caesar salad. Nice mocktails. You probably won't get any internet connection in there, so ask for their Wi-Fi info. Parking a bit difficult. read more

My friend chose this restaurant and I am excited to try a new place. We had a reservation for a party of five on a Saturday evening. We chose to sit outside for the ambience as they turned on lights in the evening. It felt brighter sitting outside vs. inside. Here's everything we ordered: Cauliflower piccata Chicken breast au jus Steak frites Pilsner Ginger beer Smoking maid Simm's cup Asparagus tempura Charcuterie board Parmesan tater tots Warm berry cobbler Bread pudding Cashew vanilla cheesecake The servers are extremely welcoming. Food came out in a perfect timing. We started off with drinks and appetizers, followed by the main course and finished with desserts. The atmosphere, delicious food and great company made this night perfect! Personally I enjoyed Cauliflower piccata and Steak frites very much. I cannot wait to come back and try other dishes on the menu. Parking can be difficult to find. I was able to find street parking in the neighborhood. read more

We picked this location for our ladies night on a busy Friday. Reservations were made and we were seated outside on their open patio area. The service throughout the night was top notch. The server kept the drinks flowing. My favorite drink would be the P-22. This drink was refreshing, perfectly poured...not too sweet either. We mostly ordered appetizers and all were good. I picked the tempura asparagus after seeing it arrive at a table nearby. Those spears were delicious with crunchy tempura and served with 2 different dipping sauces, the aioli being my favorite. I do wish they would have trimmed the bottom of the asparagus though, it was a bit chewy at the end. This was a great location for our group. We had a fun night all around. read more

Welcome to Edendale. This placed used to be a Fire station built in 1924 and it served the neighborhood of Edendale For over 60 years. It has a very old Hollywood vibe because it used to be close to a lot of silent movie studios Their menu focuses on worldly comfort food, great cocktails. Went here with a group of girlfriends of mine and we had a blast. Our server was Drew and he was very friendly and recommended a lot of good dishes. Loved their cheese and charcuterie board, the Brussels sprouts were tasty and the chips and guacamole were fr The casual environment makes Edendale the perfect spot for a variety of occasions. read more

Amazing! I came from out of town to eat dinner with some friends. We were greeted and seated quickly. I had ordered the chicken breast au jus and was delighted! Tasty and filling. We had also ordered a berry tart. It was 3 of us, so the dessert was shareable and good. There is also a photobooth located near the bar area. Great ambiance, great food, and a good time.

Edendale was a cute place to come and visit! I love the revival of historical buildings, so the ambiance was super fun. We originally sat inside the dining room, but were the only people there so our server kindly let us move out front where it was a bit more lively and the weather was perfect. Food was good! I got the edendale Caesar. The lettuce was a bit wilted....but it still tasted good. Partner got the bbq shrimp and elote corn. It was super good, but very heavy! read more

Service is everything. And when a waitress is having a bad day, you should send them home because it reflects badly on your restaurant. Food also took a really long time with missing pieces from our order. No refills on ice tea. Pathetic service. Which is too bad because we've been here for drinks and dinner before, but now am crossing this off our list. Get it together. read more

Went to this charming spot for a quick dinner before going to Haunted Hayride at Griffith Park. The space was loaded with silent film era photos and memorable, I wish I'd had more time to snoop around there! I had the steak frites and it was cooked perfectly and served with a yummy herbed butter on top of the steak. It came with garlic rosemary fries that were very addicting. The service was friendly and fast. When we mentioned we were on our way to the hayrides our server told us the staff had gone together the night before! I loved that, it made sense that this cute local spot has a tight knit staff. Definitely would stop by again if in the area. read more

Such a cozy and comfortable place! Perfect for getting drinks with friends, and the photobooth is so fun!

I made a reservation, got the automated confirmation text, and showed up on time. The guy who was actually a server decided to "help," looked up my name, didn't see it, and instead of helping, immediately got rude and dismissive. He actually stood there and said, "Well, I don't see your name so..." like that was the end of the conversation and I should just leave. When I offered to show proof, he still couldn't be bothered to handle it professionally. Thankfully the actual host stepped in and helped, because clearly he wasn't going to. Our server was nice, but the food was bland and honestly not worth the hassle. Drinks were fine, but nothing memorable. Won't be coming back. read more

Edendale is a real 3 star. Right in the middle of the road. I feel everything is okay. Food, drinks, and service. I've had good experiences here and have gone many times. I'll also for sure go back, but only to meet people who have selected it. Not a place I would ever go to on my own by my own volition, but not because I don't like it. It's okay. read more

Good food & great service & wonderful ambiance. The patio is beautiful for warmer evenings.

I wish I could write a review based on their foods, however we never got to try them. upon arriving, we were told there is a wait time and "goodbye". it was shocking as we have never seen something like this before, usually after they inform you of a wait-time they ask for phone number and give you an approximate wait time, so anyway, I asked what's the wait time and it was less than hour, so I; myself asked to put down my number and mentioned we will be hanging around the bar till it's our turn. anyway, more than 70-80 mins went by without getting a text, we actually never got a text from this restaurant ( so I really wonder if she actually entered our number)/ The person who got my number was straight up rude and was obvious that she just want to get rid of the costumers. we for sure wont go back to this place. read more

Wonderful atmosphere inside and out. We sat on the patio with heaters that kept up warm in the early evening. Levi was stellar - making great suggestions for us (fried pickles, mac and bread pudding - all yummy! ) and checking on us at just the right pacing. We also loved the cauliflower with harissa. Drink selection is wonderful, even the non-alcohol options. My friend loved her P-22 and I loved the Edendale Shrub, a kombucha-type mocktail. Highly recommend trying Edendale. Go!!! read more
