The Auld Fella - Wilshire — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I was quite surprised when I entered Auld Fella. The dim-lit ambiance and framed black-and-white stills of classic bands hung on walls created a nice aesthetic for the perfect date night. The owners have done well with cluttered space they had to work with.

Of the many intriguing main course options, I went with a tired and true favorite of mine, the Shepherd’s pie. It did not disappoint. That said, I was starving and partially sober, and probably could have eaten two servings of this delectable skillet of minced meat and mashed potatoes. There where no peas and carrots in this one however (though I’m not complaining!). The bangers and mash also came in a skillet, and had the prefect sweet/savory flavor with the caramelized onions and sausage. Overall, if your a meat and potato’s type of person, this is the spot for you!

My only small complaint was the service. There were two servers waiting our table at different times, and I don’t think either of them knew the other was serving us. It was a bit confusing… One was nice and the other acted like they wanted were counting down the minutes until their shift ended. I’m not usually one to complain about this, but it’s the only reason I can’t justify giving a 5 stars.

All things considered, I would certainly recommend The Auld Fella if you live in the area.

[SIDE NOTE] I think it’s hilarious when a restaurant puts on their menu “Jidori” and “wagyu” like it’s some 5 star Michelin gastronomic ingredient. We all know it’s not from Japan… but I just...

Came in HUNGRY. The evening was cool and damp and a big party just wrapped before I got there. Bartender V. swiftly welcomed me and had me situated. Ordering the steak was no mistake! Traded fries for a baked potato and what came out was a hearty delicacy of beef, vegetables and of course a big ole spud. Not a morsel was left behind, and after I finished I joined Bartender V for a pint of Guinness and glass of something special. Tullamore Dew 14 yr. Single Malt! Never even knew that was a thing. I ordered that and listened to Bartender V. chat her regular and coworkers. What a finish!

The space was comforting and cozy. A folk band tuned up their instruments outside readying for a night of music, and the low roar of background football games solidified a “Novemberness” to it all. Next time I’m in Culver City, I’m stopping by to say...

Sunday Lunch time we drive down here from Santa Clarita to check it out. Well worth the 35 minute drive.

Nice big airy bar with modern decor, friendly staff, thank you Carl, and great food.

I had the roast beef carvery and Her Ladyship had Fish 'n Chips. We shared the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Our plates were well clean when we were done. ( I prefer my mashed potatoes more heavily salted but I still are them all ).

On their menu they say the Irish coffee is made with Bushmills. But fair play to Carl I noticed he made it using Tullamore Dew, If it's good enough for The Buena Vista in San Fran., who are we to argue. So well done Carl.

I'll be back for sure but would arrive later to catch the live Irish music...
