All Time

"This relaxed all-day spot is extremely parent-friendly, and not just because it’s relatively quiet, has a nice patio, and won’t involve waiting for a table. All Time works for brunch where you can have a family disagreement about whether the Adventure Bread is actually adventurous, or dinner ordered from the weekly-changing menu (get the cavatelli and the Good Ass Salad). Either way, be ready for your mom to spend a good amount of time with the hand-written wine list and its pictures of volcanoes and funny annotations that she’s going to read to the table multiple times." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating

"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

"Your Order: Good Ass Salad The name of this salad at All Time in Los Feliz is an accurate description. It could also, in fact, be called a big ass salad because it easily serves two to three people as a side––or perhaps one person if you’re keen on eating a huge bowl of leafy greens. The salad tastes straight-from-the-farmers-market fresh, made with a seasonal cast of produce like strawberries, figs, and apple slices that pack an audible crunch. The remaining lettuce, pumpkin seeds, and watermelon radish appear year-round, all tossed in a tart, somewhat floral-y sweet dressing. It’s pretty straightforward, but for an uncomplicated and refreshing salad, this is the pinnacle.  " - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore, garrett snyder, nikko duren

"Eating weekday breakfast at All Time is the restaurant equivalent of that one friend who is always too put-together at 8am. It always looks nice in here, with lots of freshly-baked things at the counter, and stoneware coffee cups that the little devil on your shoulder will try to convince you to steal. The breakfast burrito is going to immediately convince you to abandon your grain bowl aspirations, but you won’t care by the time you’re eating it out on the patio. There will likely be a line, but it moves quickly, and while you wait you can stare at the dinner menu on the wall and wonder if it’s weird to come back later on tonight. " - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins

"In a year full of out-of-town chefs and second locations of already-famous restaurants from other cities, All Time is a true LA original. During the day, it’s just a coffee shop (albeit one with great food) - but at night it turns into a restaurant that feels more like a well-attended neighborhood potluck in someone’s extremely pleasant backyard. On our first few visits, we fell in love with the mostly-outdoor space, extensive wine list, and a burrata-topped focaccia we’d take a bullet for. Since then, we’ve added to that list the mushroom ragu with polenta and a ribeye that gives the best steakhouses in town a run for their money. With its combination of incredibly laid-back space and incredibly good food, All Time is the kind of restaurant you only find in Los Angeles. And it’s one of the very best restaurants we’ve got." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
