"There are plenty of restaurants in warehouses in DTLA, but there aren’t many that will also make you feel like you’re in a colonial mansion on a tropical island. So Dama stands out, and while you can easily pretend you’re on vacation here, the food is much better than what you’d get in an island resort. We like to order a few of the smaller plates (and never skip the white bean dip), intersperse them with cocktails, and always leave room for the banana soft serve." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
