Eat Drink Americano

Americano is a modest, cozy place surrounded by a lot of trendier, pricier restaurants. I appreciated the big portions and reasonable prices. We just thought that the ahi tuna salad dressing was a bit sweet but that's up to your preference. The atmosphere of this restaurant made me want to drink beer and whiskey.

The vibe in this place is fantastic. Ree (our server extraordinaire) was so attentive. The craft beer was great and the food was incredible. Amazing new addition to my favorite places to eat in LA!

Readily identified by the three panelled floor-to-ceiling chalkboard mural that makes up one wall, this is a chill space for lunch with big windows, indoor and covered outdoor seating, and a good sized bar. Ingredients used are fresh and the food has well-balanced flavor. Service is helpful and efficient and not rushed. Definitely worth your time to stop by and enjoy a meal or an after work drink with friends!

Love the decor, love the atmosphere but the service was mediocre and the food was not tasty... The only thing I really love from today's brunch was the coffee. I ordered chicken and corn waffle. The chicken was super dry and lack of flavor. The breading did not stay on the chicken. I had a really hard time chewing and swallowing the chicken. The corn waffle was a bit soggy and mushy. Would be a lot better if the waffle was crisper. The only good yummy part of this dish was the arugula salad. My boyfriend ordered the corn beef sandwich on rye bread. Very standard sandwich. A bit heavy on the sauerkraut but it's OK. The clam chowder was good. Service was a bit lacking in my opinion. We normally would tip 18% but since the server only came by to take our order, to serve the food. They did not come by to see if we are doing good or need anything else, I especially told my boyfriend to tip 15%. But the check only have 20%, 25% and 30% option on it. My boyfriend had to pick other and tip as we seem fit. With all the reviews I think maybe having lunch or dinner may be a better choice than brunch.

My brother and I came here after a concert. It was a bit busy with most of the tables outside being filled with parties of 4 or 5, but the inside was fairly quiet. Service was a bit slow to start—in all honesty the wait staff seemed overwhelmed and all over the place, despite there not being many people there (maybe there’s just been a big rush?). That said, the food came very quickly after we ordered. We ordered the Togarashi and Southwest chicken sandwiches, and a burrata appetizer. The food was white good overall. The chicken was very fresh and juicy, the flavors in the sandwiches were well-balanced, and the burrata and cherry tomatoes were delicious. It was definitely good, but not something that rocked our worlds. Definitely not a bad choice when looking for some late-night eats in the LA Arts District.

We didn't eat here, but the menu looked really appealing. The service was pretty cool, the bar tender told us the owner was from Liverpool after hearing our accent. The atmosphere was cool and chilled. They should have some cool jazz band playing live music here, it'd be a perfect backdrop.

Another gem! The pastrami was my choice, and I loved it. But the BREAD is the true STAR. It's served on a baguette that they full bake there. I also loved the tomatillo soup. It was flavorful without being spicy. You won't be disappointed!

We were excited to try this place out as we are Lakers season tix holders and are tired of the LA Live options. The atmosphere is great! The food we ordered was actually good or had potential, except the Ceasar salad. It may have been ok when it was first made, but as we sat for 25 minutes after ordering without our server even coming by and asking if we needed another drink watching several tables around us that ordered way after us get their food, I finally flagged her down. I asked why the salad wasn't brought out yet, and she basically said, oh I thought you'd wanted everything at once. Obviously, this server has very little experience and wasn't trained properly. As a former restaurant owner, server/bartender myself and trainer, I told her, almost everyone wants soup/salad/appetizers 1st. And I wanted to tell her, it's not impressive to not write orders down because most servers get something wrong, but I refrained from schooling her. But she should ALWAYS ask how the guest wants the food to come out, especially when they order several items. The Ceasar salad was wilted, warm, tasteless and really an embarrassing item. You should just take it off the menu if your staff can't make it how you created it and if it's going to sit in the back to become mush. But the dressing itself was tasteless, absolutely no hint of poblanoes or a proper Ceaser dressing. So that was a disappointing beginning of our meal. And I was right, the server who thinks it's impressive to not write down details of an order, got our order wrong. We clearly ordered a half baguette and she even asked twice, so a full or half and we both said, half, but we got a full and we're charged for a full. Despite this mistake, the hot pastrami baguette was really good. We also ordered the pastrami Flatbread. It has potential but was a soggy mess. I had to eat the toppings and throw away the wet n soggy crust. Again, this is poor execution, not bad taste. One thing as a former chef, I'd suggest not putting super thick slices of tomatoes on the bottom. Also, crisp up the pastrami a bit because maybe it was also contributing to the sogginess. You should also maybe bake the Flatbread to a more crisp state, then top it. But again, it probably sat in the back waiting for other items as nothing on it was hot or even warm, my added egg on top was cooked to death, hard yolk, also weird a chef or cook would serve that. Flavors were there, but poorly executed, so so soggy flatbread. We ordered a side of fries, which were the best thing we had. They were hot, crispy, not greasy and perfect. The side of fried chicken had good flavor, but the breading was all falling off. As a seasoned fried chicken fryer, I will tell you, this is from excessive moisture before frying. You guys gotta start over on the breading process. What you're doing is not right. After I brine my chicken, I dry it and if I dip in egg batter or a batter of some type, I will still dip the pieces of chicken in a little flour and sit them on a wire rack and let them dry out a bit either on the counter for 15-20 min if I'm ready to fry or in a fridge, then I let the chicken sit for 15 min so I don't try to deep fry super cold chicken. But your breading has to be dry, needs a bit of time to dry out before you fry in oil or all your breading will fall off, which is what happens to your chicken. I read a few other reviews with the same complaint. The last thing that was super odd and uncomfortable was that when you pay, the server just brings you this credit card machine. No check, just a total. I am never going to feel comfortable paying $100+ bill without seeing it, even if it was $25, I want to see my check. This is obnoxious and honestly a very unethical way to ask diners to pay. You're put in an uncomfortable situation and even when we asked for the check the server acted like we were the obnoxious ones! As long as this is how you run this business, I won't be coming back to give it another try. It's just wrong, and I know others must feel the same.

We ate in the outdoor patio and there were about 12 of us total. They accommodated us no problem and food came out quick (we were the only folks outside seemed like a slow time of day). lovely space ! food tastes great and service was rlly nice ! It's down an alley in arts district.

After a failed attempt of getting into Manuela for brunch without reservations, we ended up at Eat Drink Americano. Located just a block away from Hauser & Wirth, the location is very convenient, with lots to do and see in the immediate area. Our group was quite hungry, so we were happy to get a table here without delay. Overall, I thought this restaurant was pretty cool. The food was decent, service was friendly, and the ambiance was nice. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to come back, but it's a solid option if you're in the area, especially considering the wait times at other nearby restaurants.

The best clam chowder in LA - had to say it. If you get anything, please try that, get the largest size, & thank me later!!!

Hubby and I came here after work. The friendly bartender greeted us and seated us right away. Hubby ordered a happy hour margarita and nachos, and I ordered the lychee cocktail (not happy hour), and the bbq pulled pork sandwich. Everything was delicious.

Can you say the best fries in DTLA right now!? Awesome! I couldn't stop eating them! So crunchy exterior and super soft interior. Makes for the best fry, eh? I've only had Sheppard's pie twice and I wasn't too impressed until I had the one at Eat Drink Americano! That seriously seasoned beef, the fresh veggies and the fluffiest of potatoes topped with gooey cheese---baaaaaby! So damn good! The drinks were nice with a kick. Hey, they give you more than a drop of alcohol lemme tell ya! The oxtail sliders were ok. They weren't bad but I felt like something was missing with those but the rest of my meal along with the fast and friendly service made it worthwhile! Get your butt out there and enjoy this great experience! You're welcome! ew

I came here the other night for takeout. I ordered the Farmer Salad and it was pretty good. I love the lemon dressing. The fries were good too. Since I ordered takeout, I ordered with the bartender. He was very friendly. There weren't many people in the restaurant that evening--it as during the week. I waited about 15 minutes for my food.

I'm sorry but I was really looking forward to my lunch at Americano, but I left extremely disappointed. I ordered a half chicken Caesar salad for $20 and honestly, it was terrible. I should have known better based on the price alone, but I was hopeful. The salad was far from a traditional Caesar--why were there tangerines in it? The chicken was tiny and completely tasteless, with zero flavor. Not what I was expecting at all. I also ordered a lemonade for $5, and to my surprise, it was carbonated and tasted awful. I tried to return it, and they offered me sweet lemon tea, which was even worse. I didn't want to complain over $5, so I gave it away. In this economy, wasting $20 on a bad meal is frustrating. I would have preferred to skip lunch entirely. If you do decide to eat here, stick to the sandwiches, those are good.

Arrived at 11am on Saturday and there were plenty of tables! We had the beet and goat cheese salad and the mushroom flatbread. That was plenty of food for two people. They have a nice selection of wines and cocktails as well. They have an outdoor seating area too. I'm surprised there weren't more people at the restaurant. Perhaps it can be our little secret hangout!

Another great find in the Arts District. I honestly can't believe I've never checked this place out. The interior is really nice and I especially liked their yelp check in deal for a free mimosa or coffee beverage. I opted for the mimosa and it wasn't all orange juice (a pet peeve of mine). The food was good. I had the scrambled egg sandwich which had a nice cut of bacon in it and a delicious aioli spread. At first I thought the $13.95 price was great but it was just the sandwich alone with no side included, it was a little lonely but I still enjoyed it and I was able to bum some fries off of others so I was full. I would definitely head back for a cocktail one day, the vibe is nice and they have a fully stocked bar. My friend did mention she wasn't a fan of their sangria. The service was friendly and efficient...my brunch experience was good. Parking can be a little tough in the area. I usually opt to find street parking which is completely free on Sundays but they do have paid lots in the area which can add up.This area is also convenient to get to on the metro exiting Little Tokyo - make it a day and check out a few brewery, a free museum (Hauser & Wirth) while you are in the area.

Drop in for a drink or two prior to dinner! We have never been to this place before so we decided to give it a try! This place was very convenient to dinner! We dropped in for happy hour on a Thursday and it was super quiet! We sat at the bar to get best service! Two very friendly bartenders were working! Seemed very new as unfamiliar with drinks thus resorted to menu. Drink were ok to bad! One would expect more at a bar for basic drinks! The fries we ordered on happy hour for six dollars are ok. They were almost McDonald's like but healthier! Given our experience, on drink quality alone, we would probably not visit again! This is sad, as we believe the place has great potential! The atmosphere was great for a bar!

We wanted to try a new restaurant in the Arts District so we came here. Parking is a bit tough to find, with a lot across the street for $15. I was lucky enough to find a spot on the street. We ordered the hummus board, as I am a huge fan of hummus. We also got the chef's pick chop board, which had this really delicious bread and a spread of other items. Would highly recommend these two apps. For main course, my friend and I shared the BBQ pulled pork sandwich and fried chicken sandwich. I love that they cut the sandwiches before coming back to us and they pre-split the sandwiches. It's these little details that really make a place special. I believe there were only two people working at the time, one at the bar and one a server. It wasn't busy and the place doesnt look that big but overall, we had a great time here. Would definitely come back for the apps.

3.5 Stars Ate here with my friend before going to the theater. Drinks: Nice cocktail selection. My drink was pretty good. Food: The food was solid. I enjoyed my salmon and the flavors, but it was a little bit dry and overcooked. My friend really enjoyed her shepherd's pie. I took a bite to try it and the flavors were good. We shared empanadas and those were good too. Overall a solid meal but nothing mind-blowing. The dessert menu didn't look all that exciting so we didn't try any dessert. Service: Not the best. It was pretty empty in there and we had to call the server over a few times to get things we needed. She did check in periodically so it wasn't horrible but it wasn't great. Very laid back vibe.

The food was excellent here, burrata very fresh, the flavors of the wedge salad excellent. I like that they bring a large bottle of water for the table so we didn't have to keep asking for refills (I know it's the little things I appreciate) the employees were very helpful, gave recommendations and service was wonderful. The inside is cute, they also have an adorable outdoor area it was just kinda cold to sit out there the night we went. Only problem, as with most restaurants in this area is parking, but otherwise excellent dining experience!

I don't like to leave bad reviews, but decided it was necessary to give others a heads up after the 20th time this happened to me... **This review is only regarding sandwiches or other dishes that contain bread, and potentially the standard of sanitation in the kitchen. I have no issue with the other food I've had here, or the service.** I wanted to like this place, as I live right next to it and it could've been a place I go to on a daily basis. I've ordered sandwiches from this place probably 20 times. Every single time, without fail, the bottom side of the bread (that comes into contact with the kitchen prep surface) has hundreds of little white fibers stuck to it, likely from a cleaning rag or towel they use in the kitchen. One time at lunch with a colleague months ago, when I ordered the Reuben sandwich (which would have been one of my favorite Reubens if not for this issue), I was embarrassed that I had to send it back to the kitchen because the bread was covered in those small white fibers, which are small enough that you won't notice them if you don't look closely. They brought a new sandwich, same problem. I sent it back. They brought a third sandwich, same problem. I sent it back. The server was confused and thought I might be crazy, so I had to physically point out the fibers on the bread. Apparently I'm the only one who has ever complained about this to them. They were surprised to see the fibers with their own eyes and seemingly had no idea they were there either. The manager came to our table to discuss. She was apologetic and friendly, and she gave me reasons that might be causing it. Maybe it was from the bakery who supplied the bread, she said. Or maybe the rags they wipe the wooden cutting boards with are snagging on the wood and leaving little white fibers behind. She said she would look into it. Months later, I came back, hoping they would have fixed the problem. Nope, the bread on my sandwich was covered with the same small white fibers. That was months ago. I decided to give them one last try today to see if they had finally fixed the issue. I ordered the turkey club, thinking the bread would be less likely to pick up the fibers. Same issue unfortunately. I don't want to eat cotton from a cleaning rag, or whatever these fibers are made out of, with my sandwich. If you order a sandwich from here, be aware of this and look closely at your bread. I won't be coming back.

Strictly for lunch takeout. Huge fan. Delicious. Fresh ingredients. Salads and sandwiches are the go-to and always a hit. Sizable portions. Items packaged nicely. Definitely recommend it.

Great space for lunch meetings and delicious food. Servers are friendly, and food is A++. Got the Roasted Poblano Caesar salad and added chicken. Definitely one of my favorite places in DTLA to chill and socialize over a nice meal.

I really like the ambiance in the place as it gives us that western old tavern feel. The staff sat us down quickly and helped us with ordering when asking about the portions. I got the bbq pulled pork which had brined coleslaw. I'm typically not a fan of coleslaw but the combination was good with the pulled pork, which had that Smokey texture. This does fill you up but I recommend getting a side. The only thing was that when it came to split the bill, our waiter messed up the orders, but it was quickly resolved with removing it from my card and putting it on my friends card. This is a great and affordable place to eat in the art district.

I use to rat hole it over here for lunch since it was super close. Ordered a really good secret menu item breakfast burrito which was really good and filling. I also had a couple of the sandwiches there when I was working out here. They were pretty good too. The place is pricy as you're in the heart of the arts district. They have a bar and do Sunday brunch as well. It can get busy in here but they do a good job at keeping things in order. On weekends expect a wait time. They don't do a lot of specials here and for how pricy it is, if you don't pick the right item that will completely satisfy you then you might be discouraged coming back. Parking is pretty much non existent, you're on your own over here. You could park across the street at the Aliso Building, but that's separate from the restaurant. With everything said unless you're local to the arts district you might eat here once and just keep it moving to the next place.

KPOP IU dined here. I ate here before and it was very delicious!! I will totally go again!!!

Just hanging around the Arts District on a Saturday during brunch time and we wanted to try some other place where the response was if you don't have a reservation it's unlikely. Understood so walking a little further east saw Eat Drink Americano was not only open but empty. After my visit, I don't know why they're empty. I wasn't in the mood for a cocktail but their beer selection was good and I had a sour that I hadn't had/seen in a while. EDA isn't one of those places that has a ton of taps but they definitely will have something you'll like. Their brunch menu had some interesting twists and I ended up getting the salmon flatbread but first I saw they had clam chowder as their soup. The chowder was pretty good, it didn't have the oomph that excellent chowders have but it was good. I really enjoyed that salmon flatbread though-that egg was perfectly runny and after I popped it over the fish and the bread with the schmear, a perfect combo of richness. I mentioned before how dead it was so service was friendly, but sometimes literally nowhere to be seen. I didn't know where anyone was and at the end of the meal awkwardly looked around to ask someone for the check.

After a long drive from the Bay Area we met family for a St. Patrick's day dinner. Eat Drink Americano is located on 3rd St. in the Arts District of Los Angeles. There is a patio on the side of the restaurant that perfectly fit our large party. There is some parking on the side alley but there is a parking structure across the street. That night they had folk group playing indoors. Celebrating St. Patrick's days we had numerous pints of Guinness, Corned beef and cabbage and pretzels. But the stand out item was the togarashi chicken on a bun. It's a crispy fried white meat chicken with a moist tender interior. The staff was attentive and moved some heaters for us as the night grew colder.

Does Eat Drink Americano allow doggos? Very dog-friendly place with plenty of outdoor seating! One of favorite neighborhood restaurants to frequent for lunch. All of their sandwiches on baguette are delicious. My favorites are the big catch tuna and classic Italian. The sandwiches are full of flavor and a good size. The employees here are always friendly and helpful. They're also always very welcoming of our dog.

Chill place for brunch. While it's not bougie by any means inside compared to what you'll typically find in the area, it's a slow change of pace that's welcoming and easy going for brunch. They have a robust menu and service was nice. I had the avocado schmear toast. Good large portion and tasty for the most part. Came to meet what I would expect from my toast. My friend said her chicken and waffles was a good ratio although I didn't try any of hers. Seemed like the chicken breading kept falling off but she did appreciate the waffles.

Friendly staff and nice patio area. They have an all you can drink mimosa deal on Sundays too!

We came here for lunch after shopping in the garment district. It didn't disappoint. They have a patio area but we chose to sit inside. The food was really good and everyone enjoyed their order. The teens loved the atmosphere and the specialty coffee drinks. Lots of iced latte. The have craft beer which my hubby was happy about after shopping with 2 young ladies. He had the Mexican Badass Lager. We will be back. It was a nice late Sunday lunch. I believe around 3 so it was not crowded at all.

My friends and I decided to celebrate my birthday with a brunch at Eat Drink Americano. We all thought our dishes were very tasty. Our server was awesome. They explained their menu, answered our questions and checked on us frequently. It's definitely a cute little spot to have chill brunch with friends. Seating was first-come, first-serve around noon on a Saturday and we were still able to get a large table for our party.

We were initially going somewhere else to have brunch but we were extremely disappointed by them, then we found this place nearby. It was pretty empty inside when we came around 11:15am, so I assumed the food shouldn't take as long to prepare since it doesn't seem busy. We ordered the pastrami on flatbread, breakfast burrito, and truffle fries. The pastrami flatbread was just okay, it was really wet for some reason and the pastrami was a bit tougher than I thought. The overall flatbread was just okay, it was standard. The breakfast burrito was better, I liked how they had many items filled inside. The hot sauce pairs nicely with the burrito as well! Though, I have tried other breakfast burritos in my life and I wouldn't say this was the best, but I thought it was just okay too. The truffle fries were really good though. The crispyness was perfect and the truffle taste/smell was nicely fragrant. Overall, I liked the fries the best of this meal haha. I'd say the food is okay here, but I enjoyed the space and was pleased with the service here. They were really nice and quick with their service!

Grabbed a couple quick drinks with a friend and sat outdoors, you order and pay online for contactless transactions which was great. Drinks were honestly cute and most definitely strong, didn't taste the greatest though. Service was just okay, when we walked in and waited to be seated the staff just stood there then walked away and took them a while for them to acknowledge us so we were super clueless. Lack of customer service sadly.

We just moved into the neighborhood and have been exploring local eateries and came across EDA. It's a local neighborhood hangout, you can say. I've been here for their Friday outdoor BBQ and for happy hour and both were superb. All the workers including the owner are very personable, makes you feel right at home.

My new favorite Happyhour place! The food was good, drinks were good i would love to go back to taste their regular menu and also again for Happyhour!

My visit here was back in March 2024 on the day of that crazy hailstorm. Firstly, the service was EXTRAORDINARY! I had made reservations for 12:30pm. My Gal Pal was super late to join me, but the Server (tall cute guy) was good about checking in with me and had no problem letting me move TWICE before she arrived. I didn't realize how windy and chilly it would be that day, so it was just too cold to sit outside like my friend and I had originally planned. When my friend finally arrived around 1pm, the Server made room for us inside, which, of course, had just gotten busy. A different Server ended up taking care of us, and she (dark curly hair) was just as friendly and attentive as the guy had been. I ordered the carafe/bottomless mimosas, and my friend ordered Bloody Marys. Both were delicious! I can't remember what food we ordered specifically, but I do remember that both of us asked MULTIPLE questions and requested several alternations b/c of both our dietary needs. The Server didn't seem irritated to go find out the answers, was careful to write down and input our orders correctly, and I noticed that she went to discuss the alternations with the kitchen. As a former Server myself, Bravo, Darlin! Our orders arrived quickly and correctly and were tasty. I will say that the food is a bit pricey for what you get, but that's most places now-a-days. I'm pretty sure we were there for just under 2 hours in total, which is a long visit for brunch. I'd definitely go back!

Not coming back. My partner and I ate here and their taps were broken, so all they could offer was cans bud light (no thank you). The sandwich's gave us food poisoning and were made from the hardest and stale baguettes they could find. Cute ambiance. But woefully understaffed. And just overall bad experience.

Went here for a Christmas luncheon on 12/21, place was surprisingly quiet at lunch time. I ordered the Parma on Flatbread after reading many good reviews. Verdict: It tasted great, possibly one of the better flatbreads I've had if I'm being honest.... that being said, was it worth how much they charge? not really. For the price, I could have bought an entire pizza elsewhere. My coworkers had sandwiches and they also looked kinda measly but don't be discouraged since this is DTLA and quality is important to many.

My girlfriend and I actually came here after we had already eaten brunch and walked the gallery next door, so we went straight to the bar and ordered iced lattes. We both enjoyed our lattes. Looking around, the place has a nice, trendy, informal vibe. Maybe the next time I'm in the area I'll order food. The staff are friendly.

I finally stopped by a few weekends ago for a girl's brunch and it was still outdoor dining only at the time. Their outdoor setup, a part of their parking lot that was sectioned off with a few old tables, chairs, and patio shades, could have been nicer but it gets the job done so no real complaints. We ordered and paid at the little window they set up at the restaurant entrance, and the waitress brought our orders out to our table when it was ready. The food was delicious - I ordered a breakfast burrito and it was pretty awesome. So while I wouldn't exactly come here for the ambiance, I would definitely come back if I'm in a rush and want good food in a hurry, or for takeout. *********************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Will definitely return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around eating here

Such a good sandwich with great people. Cuban was $9 half and ambiance is old rustic love it. Happy hour on drinks food It's great area arts district

A friend and I enjoyed some coffee here after stumbling upon it. They have plenty of outdoor seating and the place gives you a sort of rustic/brick/farm house vibe... it's cute! When we ordered, we were told that the server would bring out our drinks. So, we took a seat and enjoyed the music (the playlist was fire... so much that we asked for the name of it in case it was created by someone). After about 20 mins of waiting, we checked on our order and learned that the order ticket to the barista got lost (which was surprising b/c it was not crowded or busy at all). They quickly hopped on it and got us our drinks as soon as possible. They went a step further and even offered us a free dessert. We got the flourless chocolate cake. It was delicious but it came out a bit frozen. It was free though so it's all good!

Love the decor, love the atmosphere but the service was mediocre and the food was not tasty... The only thing I really love from today's brunch was the coffee. I ordered chicken and corn waffle. The chicken was super dry and lack of flavor. The breading did not stay on the chicken. I had a really hard time chewing and swallowing the chicken. The corn waffle was a bit soggy and mushy. Would be a lot better if the waffle was crisper. The only good yummy part of this dish was the arugula salad. My boyfriend ordered the corn beef sandwich on rye bread. Very standard sandwich. A bit heavy on the sauerkraut but it's OK. The clam chowder was good. Service was a bit lacking in my opinion. We normally would tip 18% but since the server only came by to take our order, to serve the food. They did not come by to see if we are doing good or need anything else, I especially told my boyfriend to tip 15%. But the check only have 20%, 25% and 30% option on it. My boyfriend had to pick other and tip as we seem fit. With all the reviews I think maybe having lunch or dinner may be a better choice than brunch.

Really enjoyed the tuna sandwich and the chicken tomatillo soup. The food is filling and delicious, and they have happy hour too. They serve Guinness and Einstok beer on tap, and the place has a friendly neighborhood bar atmosphere.

Good vibes! Good service! Great drink options!!! The wine selection is pretty crazy good and the beer is excellent and the cocktails are epic. Enjoying a Modern Times Hazy IPA in pretty much perfect weather has been a true highlight of 2021 so far. I passed through on a weekend for an outdoor adult beverage and was really happy with the outdoor patio options and spacing... Either a large wooden covered patio area literally on 3rd street overlooking the scenic vibes of the area or a sectioned patio with tables, umbrella and chairs just left of the ramp to order. They have a ton of food options including some vegan and vegetarian ones , like so many places in the area and within these blocks alone. I do believe some dishes can be altered to suit your dietary needs...Like the hummus board minus the feta if you're lactose or plant based... They have a great plant based (vegan soup), a veggie breakfast burrito (also customizable) and awesome sides. Eat Drink Americano has excellent health and safety practices and notices. The parking isn't as bad as it looks and you can get lucky if you stick it out.

A decent brunch place in the Arts District. It's been a couple weeks, and can't quite remember how the food tasted. I guess it was just okay - nothing memorable bad or good. I did enjoy the vibe here though

Food: Delicious, thoughtful, good presentation Service: Super fast, reliable, and on point Ambiance: Lovely curated space and chill atmosphere Additional comments: Free mimosas on the house was a highlight

Aurelia and Vaho the bartenders were amazing. So accommodating and receptive to make things to ur specific taste. The food was great and tasteful. Would definitely come back and this place was a drive. I live in the valley and it was totally worth the trip. Chef even came out to answer out menu questions.

Stopped by for brunch on a friday. There is outdoor seating and indoor seating. For indoor seating, they do check your vaccine card. The truffle fries didn't have a strong truffle taste. But the burrata salad was very good. Very fresh tomatoes and burrata. The balsamic vinegar glaze complimented the burrata very well. I got the 3rd street salad without the tortilla chips. It was a pretty good size. They mix all the ingredients, which I liked because you get to taste all the ingredients with every bite. I had an espresso martini and the study break highball. The highball just tasted like fruity alcohol. The espresso martini was very tasty with the coffee flavor. Service was quick and smooth. A bit pricey. They told us that we can access the menu from the QR code on the table but we couldn't find it on our tables.

Xavier was our server for the night and he was amazing! It was our friend's birthday and he brought out a tiramisu cake for all of us to enjoy! Will for sure be back again! Amazing service

What a gem of a restaurant! The moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and inviting ambiance. It felt like stepping into a classic American diner. The service was top-notch, with the waitstaff going out of their way to ensure our comfort. But it was the food that stole the show. The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the mac and cheese was the cheesiest I've ever had. I can't wait to return for more of this delicious, comforting cuisine.

Great spot. I live across the street and this is my go to place when I'm looking for a quick and high quality meal. Chill vibe too

Really Great Place! Wasn't looking forward to another snobby arts district place but this was nothing like that! Great AC, friendliness service, great food, and fantastic sangria, we'll be back!

We came downtown for an art show and found this place. Walking in it is lovely! It is warm and cozy. People seem to know it each other and welcome those they don't
