Damian Los Angeles

Chef Enrique Olvera is next level. His passion for cuisine inspired by Mexico is exceptional snd it was seen and tasted throughout the menu. From the high touch service from the floor team, the design esthetic and overall vibe created in the space to the freshest, uniquely paired ingredients. The dining experience at Damian is other worldly. The exterior is unassuming but when you step into those doors you are transported. What phenomenal hospitality! Start with a mezcal flight or the Qué Sabor cocktail. Each course is meant to be shared. Highly recommend coming hungry, ordering 6 to 8 items for a group of 4. Or do what we did and order the whole menu. Take your time. Savor the layers of flavors. This communal food experience is meant to be enjoyed overtime. Highly recommend the ceviche, the Asada, and the fish tartare toasta. The duck al pastor with the pineapple butter!!??!! Sheesh. It took everything within me not to lick that off the plate. The tamal de elote, was a pleasant surprise. The black bean tetela with lobster. Devine!! Don't forget to leave room for dessert and coffee. The coffee is served with this top secret cookie that only comes with the coffee service. You cannot order it a la carte and you will want 20 of them. The coco cheese cake with figs and olive oil gelato put us in a food coma. We almost didn't make it out of there. Being in the food industry I will be honest I can be picky when eating out. But believe me when I tell you, Damian is a cut above the rest and fully worth you stopping in. Don't go alone, bring people you love and who love and appreciate great food and excellent service. You'll thank you me later. P.S. valet your car and tip them well. It's worth it. You won't want to walk anywhere after you eat at Damian!

We really enjoyed our meal here- Every dish we ordered was amazing. Wonderful cocktails, too. Standout dishes were the ceviche, celery root and the duck. And all the salsas! Service was impeccable as a bonus. Will definitely be back!

Great dating spot. And nice outdoor patio. This is not the normal Mexican restaurant, here is more like fine dining/new American with Mexican twist and ingredients. I’m not a Mexican food fan, but I will definitely come back again!
