LA Restaurants That Are Perfect For Walk-Ins
"Barra Santos doesn’t accept reservations, so going with the flow is your only option. This small Portuguese spot by the Found Oyster people gets busy after 7pm, which means you should mentally prepare to wait 30 minutes to an hour. That's annoying in most cases but quite enjoyable at this Cypress Park restaurant. The sidewalk doubles as an outdoor wine bar where a server chills your bottle in a bucket stand and you sit on benches as you’re hit with clouds of garlic. Between the drinks and eavesdropping on the date next to you, time flies. And once you’re seated, your patience will be rewarded with piri-piri coated chicken leg confit, a drippy pork sandwich, and a whole grilled branzino looking pretty on a bed of caper-parsley sauce." - nikko duren, sylvio martins, brant cox
