Messhall has a large dining area right on los Felix Boulevard and the menu offers a lot of interesting items, including gluten-free. There's also a wonderful picture of a hero and mentor who taught me a lot about food, Anthony Bourdain. My friend and I split a half dozen raw oysters with Mignonette, lemon and cocktail sauce. The oysters were fresh and went down with all the fixins real easy. I ordered the HAMACHI CRUDO- mango gazpacho, crispy onions, yuzu kosho, salsa macha, cucumber, avocado. Very light and refreshing on a very warm afternoon. My friend she ordered The Bob Cobb with chicken. There are a number of different offerings to sound really good and that is the mark of a good restaurant.

The sides are pretty small for their price. The Crudo only had a few pieces of fish. The biscuits were good, buttery. Happy hour ends at 6 PM, so you could come earlier to get some drinks and then start the oysters at 6 PM. The mai tai was not very accurate, didn't really taste like a true mai tai. Overall, I would come back for the $1 oyster deal, but I wouldn't order anything else next time, only the oysters

Tonight, 9/1, was my first time going with a group of friends as I usually frequent Alcove or…read moreMadre. As soon as we walked in, the bartender, Dayne, completely ignored us and we had to ask how the ordering worked. It wasn't until we went outside and one of the waitresses explained the difference between the two business that she helped us get situated back at the bar to order food. The bartender never even looked up at us while we ordered. On top of that, we then asked him a seemingly normal question about the fries in which he plainly replied, "I've never had them". By the time we ordered and got seated it was around 8pm. But by 9pm he started cleaning around us and stacking chairs even though the hours say closing is at 10pm. Dayne makes an announcement for last call at 9:24pm then abruptly kicks us out a little before 9:40pm saying on slow nights they reserve the right to close early. Mind you, we would have NEVER come if we knew this and would have gladly gone to one of other actual friendly, warm, and hospitable businesses on this block. It was a horrible experience that left us visibly uncomfortable and disappointed. I will never come back and would never recommend this place to anyone. 0/10

We ordered at the counter inside and sat at a cute umbrella shaded table on the patio close to the entrance. We'd already had our coffee so we ordered a big bottle of sparkling water with lemon and two Quiches. I went with veggie and mom went with the Lorraine (ham & cheese). The quiches came out in about 20 minutes and the presentation was very nice. Each quiche was served in an individual cast iron dish along with a fresh side salad, dressing on the side. My quiche was delicious. Full of fresh veggies and perfectly cooked. The salad was a healthy accompaniment. My mom's quiche on the other hand was a bit dried out and tasteless. Sadly, she was unable to eat it. I shared mine with her, and we told the folks at the counter. While they didn't take it off the (pricey) check, they did offer any dessert on the house. I opted for a mini citrus olive oil cake which I took home. Still have not tried it... but it looks good. So the verdict on the Alcove is that it is very cute inside and out. There is TONS of outdoor seating in the front and on the side. There's also lots of cute & eclectic seating inside. There's a beautiful antique bar, neat little seating nook in the back, and a spot for everyone. They have valet parking, and there's tons of street parking on adjacent side streets. Alcove really has some potential and it is a chill, aesthetic, and relaxing place to have breakfast or lunch, work on a laptop, catch up with friends, grab a libation during happy hour, or just pop in for a coffee and a muffin. It may be a little while before I come back to give Alcove another try, but I do believe that it will fully deliver on the second go around. Peace.

We got the nachos and the burger trio and the filet burger sandwich. It was all good esp the filet burger which had 2 big slices of steak! The trio sliders were so good and love the bun with a lot of French fries. The nachos was a big bowl too with all the fixins-guac, beans, cheese choice of chicken or ground beef! This is a neighborhood gem and I'd make it a destination place to go to too. The place has a nice bar area with tvs too Thank you Keith for the wonderful service.

The staff was friendly and very attentive. The wings and drinks themselves were super flavorful and I thought I would have more time to enjoy and come back to visit while in town. My partner also tried their burger and fries and decided to stop by the restaurant only to find out they closed a couple of months ago. It was worth the visit when we went there back in December.z The place was cute and it felt comfy.

I'm kicking myself because of course I fell in love with the Dresden on my short trip back. Arrived around 10:30 and this place was in full force. Beautiful people, lovely bar, and incredible music. I was lucky enough to snag a seat at the bar. Spent the entire night in complete awe of the environment! I had a great time people watching and singing along with the jazz singers and everyone else. Drinks were nice and strong too. For LA, pretty reasonable. I paid about 38 bucks for two drinks. Pretty great especially since there was no cover at the door. Loved my time here at the Dresden! I'm an LA girl through and through so I'll forever be visiting and will totally make The Dresden on my rotation of spots to listen to great music while I'm here.

Unfortunately my friend does not drink as much wine as I do so we opted for a couple of glasses instead of a bottle. Well, EYE had a couple of glasses to her 1. I wasn't incredibly impressed with the by-the-glass selection considering this is a whole wine bar but I found a few that I enjoyed. The bread & honey butter as well as the asparagus were both great. Asparagus was lemony and delicious, in particular. The crispy weiser potatoes were also good -- could have been a little crispier I thought!

Our server, Kimi V. was also great. We tried the Shrimp Pasta (10/10, highly recommended), the Crispy Chicken Wings (10/10. They make these in a particular way, please ask them to explain it to you: the end result is fantastic), fish tacos (7/10, they're good, but I am neither a fish nor a taco person (however, I do like some good shrimp tacos). These ones in particular were plated and served so well ( they use blue corn tortilla: top-notch ingredient) and the ingredients were fresh, but maybe it was the type of fish? I don't really know, they were good, but I definitely would not order them again). Also, my friend had a coconut cold brew which he really enjoyed. Service was all around great. Ambiance was fantastic, the whole restaurant has a very upscale, chic vibe while also being unique in its own way. Even the restroom, that was super clean and well-maintained, has a very unique and interesting setup for what is the sink. All around great place, highly recommended. 10/10. UPDATE: Added names and more clarification on the fish tacos. Thank you to the GM in leaving a response. Your whole team is fantastic. I'll definitely be back.
