You can tell the people behind this place truly care about providing a stand-out experience. Breva is located inside the newly revitalized Hotel Figueroa. Like the rest of the hotel, its atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between being lavish and inviting, which isn't an easy trick to pull off. Everyone on the staff, from the valets and those at the front desk, to the servers and bartenders, are super helpful and friendly. You'll find none of that too-cool-to-care attitude we've all encountered at other posh places here.
I arrived early for dinner with friends and found a quiet spot at the edge of the lobby to do some work. All I had was hot tea, and the staff was very intuitive about when check in or leave me be. I felt welcomed. That carried over into the restaurant where the servers and managers made my party feel at home. We even got to meet one of the chefs and the gentleman in charge of the bar program (who made me an incredible off-menu cocktail with mescal!). About the food...having never tried foie gras, I decided to give it a go. It was too rich for my taste buds, but my sense is that the dish was done impeccably well. What I was really excited about, and what really shined, was their burger. Seriously just damn delicious. My friend order the fried chicken and crispy potatoes, which were also amazing. What a meal to remember! If you find yourself in the area, you must check this place out.
