4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: April 25 | Eater LA
"Housed in a Virgil Village space long occupied by bars such as Smog Cutters and Bolita, this venture from restaurateur Dustin Lancaster (with Pete St. Peter from Eagle Rock’s Capri Club and Thunderbolt veteran Kayla Dowell) has a shipwrecked captain’s cabin vibe, with sailor knots on the wall and boat wheels above the bar. In front are two semi-private alcoves and a few small booths along the bar, but most seating is on stools at the bar itself — which may be the best way to experience the place. The Meze Martini, with Kalamata, dill, rosemary, lemon peel, peppercorn, and arugula, is a must-order for any savory martini lovers, or try a classic Negroni available with gin or mezcal. Bar bites like free popcorn and Spam musubi make it easy to settle in and spend a few hours here." - Eater Staff
