"Atwater Village’s already-vibrant lunch scene got even better when Bar Sinizki opened. Smoked trout and chicken liver tartines, along with daily soup specials paired with pickles and house-made sauerkraut, make for light and flavorful midday meals. The small-ish interior only has a few tables and bar seating, so the place works best when the weather’s nice and you can sit on the sprawling sidewalk patio. If lunch requires a wine spritz, cocktail, or beer, that’s also a possibility." - Matthew Kang
