The Best New Restaurants in Los Angeles According to Eater Editors, July 2025 | Eater LA

"Prolific South Bay chef David LeFevre and protege Alice Mai have finally opened their California Mediterranean restaurant Attagirl in the former Dia de Campo space in Hermosa Beach, serving an expansive array of modern mezze, grilled skewers, and more. Themed around the kinds of foods chefs like to eat every day of the week, expect puffy focaccia rounds and plush pita scooping up spicy whipped feta or charred cucumber tzatziki. Spaghetti alle vongole or spinach rigatoni will help scratch the pasta itch while most folks will opt for a variety of wood-grilled skewers like wild Mexican shrimp or rosemary-marinated beef tenderloin. Expect a vivacious, boisterous dining room segmented between tables, high-tops, and the bar, all meant to accommodate a dedicated Hermosa crowd, who have descended in droves since day one. — Matthew Kang, lead editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Matthew Kang
