Restaurants near Pickwick Recreation Center

Totally packed on a Friday night, had to lean across the table to hear each other. Our server suggested we order 5 starters and two entrees for the 3 of us which felt like upselling. We got 3 starters and 2 skewers and the 2nd skewer was more than we needed. The menu prices are, like all restaurants in LA since the pandemic, dizzyingly, insanely high. Of the starters, the celery root was exceptional. The two skewers were delicious but, at the end of the day, they are undressed flame-cooked meat. We can make that at home. It seems Saffy's will be fine without us.

Filet mignon is always perfect, fries and creamed spinach w a wedge salad to start is a tasty go to. Finish it w coffee and bread pudding. There’s about a hundred combos I love. Lobster thermidor and sand dabs crush as a main course as well.

We had a great birthday celebration at The Front Yard and enjoyed the food and the drinks. Our server was always available and easy to work with. We really enjoyed the Flank Steak, Brussels Sprouts and Garlic Broccoli Flat Bread. The parking is easy and they validate so there is no charge. All went very well!

Madison was an amazing host. Her customer service and hospitality was top tier! Manager was also very kind enough to make accommodations for my autistic son. All servers were great as well but Madison’s kindness stood out the most. The food and drinks were also very good. I had a French 75 for the first time and it was enjoyable. I don’t usually drink gin because of the taste, but you can barely taste it.

The food was outstandingly delicious and the service was excellent. Great view and ambience! Would definitely recommend this place.
