Food Scene

Just across the street, this place is easy, friendly, and casual. It is great for happy hour or for a nice artisanal dinner. Probably one of the best Lobster Rolls in all of LA. The mussels, burger, and waffle battered chicken is also top notch!

Great Aussie Meat Pies with very unique flavors. They also have Vegetarian options. The sides like mashed potatoes and peas are really good too! Great if you want to pick up quick breakfast or lunch and good for groups or takeout.

One of my favorite quick bites to eat. Caribbean food with a great blend of Jamaica, Belize, Cuba, Trinidad. I love The Chilaquiles for breakfast or the chicken enchiladas for lunch or dinner.
