"Chefs Daniel Patterson and Keith Corbin’s Alta Adams is a neighborhood cornerstone in West Adams with a wine shop, restaurant, and bar that stays busy on weekend nights. The dining room and outdoor patio fills up with one of the more diverse crowds in Los Angeles for Corbin’s “California soul” menu with signature items like black-eyed pea fritters, fried chicken, and oxtails and rice that have a hint of soy sauce, ginger, and miso. There’s always a seasonal pie on the dessert menu and a sweet potato cheesecake with salted caramel drizzle that never fails to deliver. The bartenders come through with solid recommendations, but the Abuela Frecia that’s like a Mexican hot chocolate with a bit of heat usually hits the spot. — Mona Holmes, reporter" - Eater Staff
