| - Really liked this place...my husband and I both mentioned that it reminded us of a place in West LA we used to walk to by our house (+1 star for nostalgia).
Downtown has grown a ton (in coolness/gentrification) in the last couple years. We went to eat soon after it opened, and it felt like it was an outpost of hipster in the middle of rundown weekly motels. But now...glutton, vegenation, poboys on one corner, John E Carson hotel on another corner, eat on the 3rd corner, and the container park on the 4th! Just waiting for a whole foods to move in down the street!
Anyway, Glutton fits in perfectly with the vibe of those other joints, and has really good food and drink to boot.
The inside is semi-industrial, with lots of windows to look out on an empty lot (haha - growth for the future! And there's lots of pedestrians these days, too!!).
We started off with drinks after our friendly server informed us it was happy hour: 4:30-6:30 (not sure the days - it's definitely on on Wednesdays), 2 for 1 beers, wines, or well drinks. Yay! Glutton has a pretty cool, though not extensive, beer list. Probably about 15 selections, including some in big bottles. Wine list looked pretty good, too. But the cocktails! We sampled the 'merica and the whiskey one (shoot, I forgot the name). Both were really good - love me some gourmet cocktails.
For food we had:
Japanese Street Corn - my favorite dish of the evening. Served with furikake and butter, I think. So good.
Brussels Sprouts Salad - with fennel. loved this one, too. It was more salad-y than Brussels sprout-y, and was a good complement to the other dishes.
Cauliflower - very curry, but I surprisingly loved them. Even my 2 year old loved them!
The steak - served with a little bit of creamy delicious mashed potatoes and some avocado/jalapeno topping. I am not a big fan of avocado, but I loved this little salsa. It added a creamy-spicy-sweetness to the meat. Very good.
Woodfired shrimp - Good shrimp, but kinda standard.
Half chicken - I did not try it, but my dining companion stated it was excellent.
Wish we would have tried the pickled tomatoes!
For 5 adults, 2 kids, with drinks - $150. I think that's pretty reasonable.
Added points for having a woman in playing guitar and singing on a Wednesday!
The only problem is, there are so many great places downtown, that I'm not sure when I'll be back!
