Here I was geared up for the intergalactic art car festival at the Llama Lot, peacock feathers in my hair, a reusable water bottle at my hip, and a stomach growling like an engine. Time to eat! And how convenient that Atomic Liquors was right across the street. I'd only been to the bar before and hadn't tried the food yet. I'm so glad I fixed that!
Food. Was. Delicious. It may be a dive bar on one side, but the other side is gourmet. I tried the harissa carrots with coriander cream and they were perfect. In fact, my favorite dish of the night. (I kept dipping my fries in the cream). Also, I ordered the central coast tri-tip which was flavorful although a bit bleu for my taste. I ended the meal with dessert - the whiskey bread pudding with caramel sauce and cardamom whipped cream.
Great service, great food!
