"Just opened last week in the Hermon neighborhood of Northeast Los Angeles, Hermon’s is worth a visit for many reasons: to witness the vibrancy of the Hermon community that has really shown up for this opening; take in the festive design of the space; enjoy a tiny martini; and most of all, indulge in the loaded potato fritters. Four potato pave cubes arrive with a generous dollop of whipped cream cheese that cradles bacon and chives; the entire thing gets topped with a snowstorm of shaved Parmesan. Though deeply savory and rich, the fluffy consistency of the cream cheese and delicate layers of potato somehow don’t feel assaulting or heavy. I’d be delighted to return to a bar seat at Hermon’s and just order this with a tiny ‘tini to go with it." - Eater Staff
