Best Restaurants for Birthdays in East Los Angeles

La Boucherie turned a tired evening into one of the highlights of our stay! We had just checked into the hotel and were too tired to go anywhere, so we decided to head upstairs for dinner. What an amazing surprise! The restaurant is beautiful, and the views are incredible. I could easily see myself coming back for a romantic dinner or a night out with a group. They also offer private tables, which we were told had a $500 minimum. Once you factor in steak and a bottle of wine, that feels much more approachable than it initially sounds! What really made the experience special was the service. Our server, Joaquin, and his assistant, Daniel H., were both wonderful. Joaquin shared that he has been with the restaurant since it opened nine years ago, and his knowledge and impeccable service really showed. They made us feel so well taken care of throughout the evening. We ordered the octopus, ribeye, and whipped potatoes, paired with a 2022 Ghost Block Cabernet Sauvignon. Everything was cooked to perfection. I honestly would not change a thing about our meal! If you love wine, ask about the wine cellar. We were told it holds more than 900 bottles! Whether you are staying at the hotel or live nearby, La Boucherie is absolutely worth a visit. Come for the views, stay for the food, and hopefully you will have the pleasure of being taken care of by Joaquin and Daniel H.!

Our group thoroughly enjoyed! We were greeted with sparkling wine while waiting for our table to become available. Our waitress was extremely personable and made great recommendations for the table. The drinks were boozy and flavorful, and the food was delicious. All in all, a great experience. Really appreciate it!

Great! I love coming to this place. The music is great and the food is amazing.

A lovely birthday brunch with my best friends! We were lucky to sit inside the greenhouse and the service was great. Portions are such a good size and so very delicious. Definitely try the cinnamon roll and the french fries that came with our burger were so yummy. My husband really liked the Cosmo & Wanda cocktail which has matcha, yum!

Our Server, Evan was the best and made a difference in our experience. He was attentive, kind, knowledgeable, respectful, courteous and absolutely on top of everything. He didn’t miss a beat. He had wonderful recommendations and if a plate wasn’t delicious he took care of it. Evan is the reason we would return!
