Resto Spotlight: Industriel Urban Farm

photo credit: industriel farm

Industriel Urban Farm is such a little gem in DTLA (downtown los angeles).  My bestie chose this spot for her birthday dinner and it was surely a fun and tasty night of celebration.  The food is amazing, but the decor is even more lovely and comfy.  Downstairs is decorated with reclaimed wood tables, vintage crates, french cafe inspired bright red chairs, and tufted gold leather booths along the wall. Upstairs, you dine under a low beamed ceiling in comfy leather or fabric upholstered armchairs with a vibrant bar scene cranking out classic cocktails with an urban twist.  I can say I really enjoyed sitting upstairs.

Church & State

the open kitchen

Last week we celebrated my Dad's birthday at the DTLA French neighborhood gem, Church & State.  I've always wanted to go here, but hadn't got around to it.  It was definitely on my resto list that keeps growing and growing.  My brother suggested it for the bday dinner and I was gamed.   The night was full of family, laughter, awesome food, and great ambiance.  The husband even tried escargot...not me, I wasn't ready for that yet!  I had a glass of Rose' to start, which has become my drink of choice as of late and finished off with a glass of red, merlot/cabernet sauvignon blend called the Bordeaux Superior.  Both, very tasty.   Will be going back here soon.  Great location and the staff was amazing!

sauteed diver scallops


bouillabaisse, pork belly, and steak and frites
