🇺🇸 LA Food Diary｜608 Dahlia 🌸

A brunch spot I visited purely for the aesthetics! Also stopped by Sherman Library & Gardens—entry fee was just $5 💐 This restaurant truly impressed me ☘️ Not only was the food delicious, but the plating was as exquisite as a garden—super Instagrammable for summer! ✨ 🦐 Jumbo Prawn & Basil Farrotto The prawns were huge, sweet, and bouncy! The farro had a chewier texture than regular rice, and with the creamy basil flavor, each bite was layered and satisfying. 🥩 Grilled Flat Iron Steak The steak was perfectly seared outside and tender inside. Topped with caramelized onions and bold blue cheese—a total flavor explosion! The chimichurri sauce added a fresh, herby balance that tied it all together. 🥗 Field Corn Salad with Chicken and Avocado A super refreshing corn salad—I “splurged” and added avocado 🥑 and grilled chicken breast. Light yet protein-packed, it’s the perfect summer meal! The colorful garden-inspired plating made it picture-perfect 📸 🥂 Washed it all down with pomegranate juice and Garden Punch—so refreshing! 📍 2647 East Coast Hwy, Corona Del Mar, CA 92625 What’s your favorite summer dish when you’re eating light? 🥗☀️ Or have you been to a restaurant where the plating wowed you as much as the flavor?
