The Eveleigh

Tucked away on the Sunset Strip, The Eveleigh makes a striking first impression with its gorgeous rustic interior that evokes the feel of an old European tavern. The back patio is particularly impressive, offering one of the more coveted outdoor dining spots in Los Angeles with views that draw crowds every weekend. It’s the kind of place where the atmosphere does a lot of heavy lifting.

When it comes to food, the kitchen has a genuine talent for vegetables. The pinzimonio stands out as a highlight—a beautiful presentation of fresh veggies alongside a fantastic eggplant dip that’s worth ordering. The blueberry crisp delivers on the dessert front, and the white sangria has become something of a signature drink for patio visitors. Main courses like the Jidori chicken and Pacific yellowtail are competently executed, though not necessarily memorable.

This is a scene-y spot that caters to a crowd looking to see and be seen. It works well for brunch gatherings, big groups celebrating, or anyone who wants a photogenic backdrop for their evening out. The patio seating is particularly sought after, so expect competition for those tables, especially on weekends.

Keep expectations calibrated and you’ll have a pleasant time. The Eveleigh works best when you’re there for the ambiance and the company rather than chasing a transcendent culinary experience. Come for the beautiful space and stay for the people watching—just don’t expect the service to be as polished as the surroundings.
