Christopher Steele: Get the sausage sampler platter as an appetizer. Some of the best sausage I've ever had
Chrissy Eldred: Sausage platter, cheese platter, goulash and potato pancakes! Also, Hofbrau & Franziskaner!!

Seafood Restaurant · Silver Lake · 43 tips and reviews
John Schwartz: The mussels are not to be missed, a delicious smoky oil and perfect chorizo. The service was also transcendent--anticipating everything. This place should make Silverlake proud. Do not miss.
Jessica Rae: AW: oysters, smoked mussels with chorizo toast, ridiculously good clam chowder, this is still one of the best places in the city to order a glass of truly excellent rosé on a warm summer evening
SocialSoundSystem: If they have it on the specials, try the pan fried oysters in the chili/tomato cream base. Delicious. The fresh sea urchin was also delicious (but pricey).

French Restaurant · Silver Lake · 67 tips and reviews
Ollie Zad: Authentic French fare. Great spot for lunch and brunch can be pricey for dinner
DailyCandy: The counterintuitive entrance is through the tiny courtyard on Sunset, not by the sign on Sanborn.
AskMen: Find us feasting on quality French bistro fare on the intimate courtyard. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but a trip isn’t complete without a helping of pommes frites with truffle oil Read more.
