"The patio at All Time is one of the best places on the Eastside to bring your snobby New Yorker friend who thinks Red Hook is the center of the universe. It feels fancy because there’s an excellent wine selection and a dry-aged ribeye on the menu, but not so fancy that you can’t show up wearing shorts and Tevas. The dishes change weekly, and you may need to break out your flashlight to read the handwritten menu under the hanging lights on their patio. It’s hard to have a bad time here, but ordering the Good Ass Salad and the burrata and tomato-smothered focaccia will instantly convince your friend that LA does actually have culture." - amy clark, brett keating
