"Housed in an unmissable bright blue building, Evening Star in Del Rey has been around since the late ‘90s and has the vibe of a small-town café where everybody knows each other and their dog by name. Their dinner menu hits classics like meatloaf and a roasted half chicken with collard greens, but we especially like coming here for brunch and going all-in on the chilaquiles, smoked pork hash, and sourdough french toast, plus a glass of frosé or an Irish iced coffee." - madeline weinfield, mekita rivas

"Over the past two years, Evening Star Cafe brought on more outdoor seating. In addition to its Front Porch, “The Back Yard” features cabanas and shady umbrellas. This Del Ray institution from Neighborhood Restaurant Group offers beer, wine, and cocktails such as a “Front Porch Frosé” and an iced tea-infused bourbon slushee." - Adele Chapin
"Del Ray neighbors have long turned to the Evening Star Cafe’s Front Porch for outdoor drinking, but this year, the restaurant added The Back Yard, complete with picnic tables, heaters, covered cabanas, Astroturf, and movie nights." - Adele Chapin
