That's exactly what I was craving when my friend was in town so I took her here. The food menu isn't massive, there aren't a ton of options but there's still a decent variety, especially since they serve breakfast all day which helps. They have lots of delicious-sounding smoothies and drinks too. I went with their miso bowl this time and my friend got the lamb sandwich. I loved my miso bowl, it comes with chicken, and it was just as beautiful and colorful as I remembered my last dish to be the last time I was here! And I loved the flavors. It completely hit the spot and perfectly filled me up. My friend seemed to enjoy her lamb sandwich too. Great spot!

(A lot of thought went into the acoustics & speaker system.) This chic establishment serves up European-inspired small plates, and their cocktail program melds inspiration with a respect for classic structure. The sultry pulsating bass lines that ooze through the speakers set the tone for a chilled vibe, and the tropical motifs provide an escape from reality. It's a great spot to relax and catch a game or hang with friends, which I did. I met some of my favorite Yelp peeps here for Sunday Brunch. We received a warm & friendly welcome from Rasheeda (bartender). She was darling, as was our server, Mason. They were both fantastic. We settled into the cozy couches tucked in the corner and ordered several dishes to share: Hummus, Prosciutto Panino, Eggplant Panino, Mediterranean Eggs, Green Shakshuka, & Fries. Drinks consisted of: Nitro Cold Brew, Bloody Mary, Age of Aquarius, & a Lavender Gimlet. The fries were tossed with rosemary salt and came with garlic aioli & ketchup. They were addicting & delicious. My Lavender Gimlet did not disappoint. Everyone enjoyed their selections, and we had a great time together. This was the perfect meet up spot. I'm looking forward to coming back. *Street parking (can be tricky.) Metered parking across the street. *Happy Hour 2 pm - 6 pm daily & all-day Monday.

They have ample free parking on site and curbside delivery from the MIXT Salad Valet™. I have driven past by this spot for years but never got the chance until now. I like their breadth of vegan food items on their menu as well as customize-make your own. Its interior was chic, naturally well lit, neat and clean. Furthermore, its layout is spacious with high ceiling and few wall art decor over their large white walls. I was ebulliently greeted by a female staff with gentle eyes. After perusing the MIXT menu, I ordered a fresh lemonade and BBQ bowl which is composed of cilantro, brown rice, black beans, apple fennel slaw, cheddar, roasted potatoes, and crispy onions. Food was tasty, fresh and delightful. Drink was refreshing. Service was spot on. Staff were cordial. Atmosphere was chill. Prices were economically competitive. Food serving was abundant. Overall, this is a good place for vegans or anyone who wants to eat healthy food. I enjoyed it a lot. I recommend MIXT.

If you're looking for great food, amazing drinks, friendly service, and good vibes, Bodega Park is definitely worth checking out. I highly recommend it!

I chatted with Bree about my fitness goals and how I was toning/ cutting weight and she made some suggestions. When I asked her what her favorite was she said she liked the Sensual Vibes smoothie. I like the sound of it from the ingredients, and she suggested adding ginger. It was SOOOOOOOO delicious. I will DEFINITELY be going back to try out another smoothie.

On this visit, I got the OG Avocado Toast. The avocado was perfectly ripe and fresh, and a heaping portion was served over their toasted olive bread. It's a pretty simple preparation. I probably would have preferred the Mediterranean version, as the tomatoes on this weren't my fave and there was raw red onion mixed into the avo so I wasn't able to pick it out. Next time, I'll have to request it without the onion. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu items.

Parking was plentiful on the streets, which was a nice bonus.

The Pork Belly Rice Bowl was just okay. The portion was a little disappointing because there was a lot more salad than I expected, only about two bite-sized pieces of pork belly, and a small portion of brown rice. I also wish the to-go packaging was an actual bowl - it would make it much easier to eat. The Doubtless Burrito was really good and very filling! It could easily be shared between two people. For dessert, the Banoffee Pie was good, and we also enjoyed their seasonal olive oil cake (I can't remember the exact name). Overall, the staff was great and we enjoyed most of what we ordered. I'd definitely get the burrito and desserts again, but I wish the Pork Belly Rice Bowl had a better balance of pork belly, rice, and salad.

It was such an unforgettable and refreshing experience. Chef Anita has such a vision. Every detail was well thought of, from the outdoor patio dining surrounded by olive bushes to the indoor wooden and oak touches with Fairouz playing overhead. What's even better is EVERY single dish is labelled clearly for allergy diners! AHHHH as a nut allergy girly this had me geekin. All the celiac diners can enjoy their dining experience without any triggering fears as well. I went with their famous Lebanese egg pie and my friend got the grilled salmon plate. We shared the ful mudammas, my fave dish. The gluten-free pita bread def changed my brain wiring. I don't enjoy gluten-free food, and I was drooling. The pita was pillow soft, like how do you do that? Magic, I tell you. The egg pie was SO special. Pillow soft as well and super filling. The flavors of every dish were legendary. We couldn't stop talking about the colors, the plating, the top tier service. Everything about Levant deserves to be raved about. Come one come all. Def coming to Levant next time I'm in Echo Park.

We arrived midday on a Sunday and we're promptly sat, having been given the option for patio or indoor. We chose the patio, and between the clematis, lantana, and olive trees it is a very lovely setting in which to enjoy a meal. We were promptly brought a bottle of cold water and glasses, and our beverage orders were taken. I had a honey lavender latte with oat milk, and my husband had Lebanese coffee (no milk no sugar.) my latte was fragrant, the perfect temperature, and just the right amount of sweet. The Lebanese coffee was smooth, floral without being perfume, and excellent. We started with the falafel and the batata harra. Both absolutely excellent. For our entrees we selected the shakshuka and the Lebanese egg pie. Both were also excellent. Everything was well cooked, well presented, flavorful without being overwhelmed by any component. We took home a baklava tart, because we simply did not have the ability to eat more at the table. It was tender, moist, not too sweet, the pistachio flavor coming through as nutty and grassy, seriously so good! And it's worth noting, this whole restaurant is gluten free. I would not have realised if I had not known ahead of time. The texture of the pita with the shakshuka was exactly what one would expect, as was the bread of the egg pie. The pastry of the tart was flakey and delicious. And having said all of that, the service is what puts it above and beyond. Everyone was warm and pleasant, and seemed to genuinely appreciate the compliments. Staff seemed like they liked their jobs, which for me is always a good sign.
