位於South Los Angeles​的優質純素食者​餐廳

The place is charming. Kind staff. Delicious food. We will return and drink some of the great wine next time!

Every single member of this staff from the greeting of the maître d' to the owner Craig, who came to the table to ask how our evening was is incredible. Best service in Los Angeles, fantastic food, fantastic customer service, 10/10.

First thing we noticed was how the music set the tone (literally) for the night. We were greeted by the awesome sounds of a great playlist that seemed to fit the theme of a classic throwback restaurant (I’m not sure if I can explain what I mean, something about the ambiance took me back to when my family and I would make a big event about eating a fancy dinner). Anyways, my husband and I decided to look at the menu days in advance, but we couldn’t help but want everything. What we ended up choosing was: Calamari Frites, Kale Caesar Salad, Mushroom Scallops, Grilled Lion’s Mane Steak, and Eggplant Shortrib. And yes, the calamari was AMAZING. We couldn’t believe that it wasn’t real calamari. We just had to ask our server and she revealed to us that it was oyster mushrooms (yeah that makes sense, it has a great texture). The Caesar salad is sort of misleading because it doesn’t look like a big serving, but it’s very filling. The eggplant shortrib and the grilled lion’s mane steak came out, and my husband looked delighted and confused. “Wait this can’t be plant-based, can it?” The steak was delicious. The shortrib was good, but we preferred the steak for sure. We’ll be definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. Our next treat: the pizzas hopefully.

We had Alexa as a server and she went above and beyond! She was super sweet and answered any questions we had about the menu. From right when we got there, the host was super friendly and very professional, she was great! The table we got was right next to the fire place. This was a date night we had wanted to do for such a long time, Gracias Madre was incredible!! Thank you for such a lovely night!
