Animal

I eat at every new restaurant in LA and yet Animal is one of the very very few that I will return to on a several-times a year basis. I accidentally walked into Animal on opening night 10 years ago and I have been one of their most loyal customers ever since. I must say the innovation and bold flavors here make it, in my opinion, the pound-for-pound best meal in LA. If you're adventurous, the pig ears are fantastic. The Boner Burger (off menu) is the best burger I've ever had and the Turkey Leg makes me never want to have turkey anywhere else.

No joke, these guys have ruined thanksgiving for me. The turkey leg is unreal. Also the pork belly sliders are just insane. pretty much anything on the menu is phenomenal. GO GO GO GO GO. Don't bother with anywhere else. And the cheese cake pudding with Guava ice is one of the better desserts you'll have in your life. I could go on and on with this place. It's THAT good and THAT innovative with it's offerings.

Everyone at our table was very satisfied. Looking forward to coming back with my relatives. The prices are well within reason for the quality. Food is similar to a cafe in Portland I liked.

Only have good things to say about Animal. Food is excellent, so much flavour, interesting combinations.. casual, fun restaurant. Love all their stuff.

It’s a cool place! Servers are friendly and professional. I feel like they change their menu daily as I saw the date on the menu paper.
We got the special truffle toast that cost $33, but it’s so good!
The roasted turkey leg is fun and delicious as well!
Not a big fan of the poutine as it’s too salty for me.
We did not make a reservation so we sat at the bar, where they do the wine glasses cleaning and drying stuff. It’s a bit too noisy.
Over all it’s a super nice restaurant on Fairfax. :)

Excellent service. Food was very well prepared and full of flavor. No substitutions allowed (which is understandable). Trendy but casual setting. Valet available. Difficult to find street parking.
