Father's Office

This Westside neighborhood staple from renowned chef Sang Yoon is always loud and jam-packed—and it probably has something to do with Father’s Office most famous dish: the messy, delicious, cult-favorite Office burger, made with applewood bacon, arugula, gruyère and maytag blue cheese, and a heap of caramelized onions. No substitutions, but trust us: that’s A-okay. If you’re not in the mood for a burger, the upscale bar food still delights with dishes like garlicky mushrooms, duck confit salad and salt-and-vinegar tater tots. The Culver City location also has free parking courtesy of the Helms Bakery District lots. Don’t let the crowd discourage you; just grab a beer from the list that’s almost three times the length of the food menu, and mingle with friends while you wait for a table.
