Recess Eatery (CLOSED)

This recent addition to York Boulevard offers a stunning setting for a night out or a leisurely brunch. Inside you’ll find a spacious dining room with exposed brick, a vaulted bow and truss ceiling and long communal tables in the center. There’s also a beautiful patio with olive trees and a fireplace. Chef Sevan Abdessian brought much of his school-themed menu from the original Recess Eatery in Glendale, which includes modern California dishes with Mediterranean and Armenian flourishes. Start off with the falafel trio with pickled vegetables and the smoky fried cauliflower before diving into some of the larger dishes like the roasted corn and ricotta ravioli or pan roasted chicken.
