Midwestern comfort food diner with breakfast, lunch, and dinner
"It’s all about Midwestern comfort food at Moonlark’s Dinette, located on the first floor of the Hoxton in Downtown. While chef Chris Pandel handles the savory side of the menu, Boka Restaurant Group’s culinary operations director Kristine Antonian oversees a tight menu of sweets. The giant slice of chocolate cake paired with candied cherries and whipped cream is portioned to share and tastes even better alongside a chilled grasshopper cocktail. — Cathy Chaplin, senior editor" - Eater Staff
"The Hoxton’s ground floor restaurant, Moonlark’s Dinette, is offering a $25 lunch special that comes with a main and the choice of an appetizer or dessert. The menu includes dishes like a cheeseburger and fries, chilaquiles verdes, mozzarella sticks, and Key lime pie." - Rebecca Roland
"Downtown’s ground-floor hotel restaurant Moonlark’s Dinette features mid-day refreshments from 2 to 6 p.m. with discounted cocktails (try the Strawberry Negroni) and a very solid burger to help escape the busiest traffic times of the day. Available Monday to Friday." - Eater Staff
"The ground floor of the Hoxton makes for an ideal diner space, so Boka Group, which operates Cabra upstairs and the Girl and the Goat in the Arts District, converted the former Cafe Basque into Moonlark’s Dinette. With chef Chris Pandel at the helm, expect a true Midwestern approach to daytime fare like a deluxe breakfast sandwich with Taylor ham on a housemade English muffin, a sweet-salty Monte Cristo sandwich, and chilaquiles verdes." - Eater Staff
"Tucked into the ground floor of the Hoxton hotel, I find Moonlark’s Dinette fast becoming a daytime destination with plush red booths that look out onto LA’s bustling streets. The narrow dining room is softly lit and the menu appeals to a wide range of palates: start snacky with the baked brie drizzled with honey and served with toast points or the fried cauliflower florets paired with a creamy dip inspired by everything seasoning. The French toast is dolloped with tangy curd and prettied with fresh mint, and best of all is the breakfast sandwich on a scratch-made English muffin layered with luscious slices of Taylor ham, melty cheese, and a fried egg — as a California gal to the core, that sandwich had me suddenly considering the appeal of the Garden State." - Eater Staff
