The outdoor patio at Church & State Bistro
1850 Industrial Street, Downtown Los Angeles
In an otherwise industrial area of downtown LA is Church and State Bistro, flanked by the Nabisco Biscuit Company loft apartments, an Irish pub and a high end convenience store.
At Church & State we enjoyed fresh raw oysters and epicurean bone marrow, homey macaroni and cheese and classic highballs from the innovative bartender. The drinks were really something special -- the bartender, Michel, made us drinks based on our spirit of choice, and my fiance and I experienced whiskey and tequila in new ways.
The bacon and egg salad -- a poached egg atop crisp greens, liberally salted and peppered with bacon. Delightful.
The charming, al fresco-esque interior of Church and State.
The escargots en brioche -- wonderfully light puff pastry over buttery snails. Definitely a highlight.
Definitely worth a leisurely meal before a night at the theater or the symphony.
