4 Restaurants to Try This Weekend in Los Angeles: September 18 | Eater LA

"It’s a full-on vibe dining situation in Venice, especially on weekend mornings, and one of my go-to places to impress out-of-town friends. I love showing how swiftly I can navigate the ticketed line system and how deftly I can order the least expected smoked fish from the display. Maybe I grab a goat cheese and potato frittata slice or a cornmeal pastry pocked with heat-imploded blackberries, but really I’m here for the fish plate or anything involving the freshly made breads — lately the bagel blanketed with ikura has been the most appealing. I grab a table on the expansive outdoor patio and soak in the peak Westside of it all." - Eater Staff
