Animal - Los Angeles

Fantastic experience! the personal was great and attentive. everything we had was wonderful from the chicken liver mousse to the calfscension.

14 years and a pandemic later, this iconic restaurant still serves tasteful dishes, such as the chicken liver toast (now spread-es-yourself,) the tomato tonato, the 3S anchovies (salty so satisfying,) the roast sweetbreads, and the light and unstoppable strawberry pfirschen. small but relevant selection of weeping and sake, along with some interesting cocktails. the setting is elegantly simple. super friendly staff. well, an institution that deserves to stay one.

Amazing eating! excellent taste combinations. we had several dishes that are part of the experience of mixing everything on the plate together to get all the aromen together. that was funny. great service. Half-casual ambiente. highly recommended!

This is one of the many reasons why we have visited all few months. one of the best places to eat meat from the land, sea and sky. the personal is as excellent as eating. they can also eat at the bar. make sure to save space for the cheesecake snow cone.

I've worked in the food industry for 20 years and have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the world and I have to say that my experience at Animal was perfect! My favorite thing about Animal is that the food, service, space is not pretentious at all, but the quality and standards are incredibly high. The food was perfection, everything was seasoned and cooked exactly right and every dish was a pure delight. The Ricotta Gnudi was one of our favorite, a rich, balanced and succulent bite that melted into your mouth. The Soft Shell Crab with curry sauce was a pure delight to every sense. The snap peas were also a delightful, fresh and bountiful dish. A lot of people are writing here complaining about the 18% service charge without realizing that this restaurant group is one of the few in the industry that pays their staff livable wages and makes it a good experience to work with them and if it means we pay a little more for an incredible experience, i'm all for it. Anyway, I highly recommend Animal. Definitely going back for more special occasions.
