The High Low — Restaurant in Los Angeles

This place just opened up on 2/9/22 and we were so excited to try it out. We went in expecting decent bar food and a relaxed atmosphere. This place definitely exceeded our expectations. We got the carnitas nachos, beef picadillo puffy tacos, habanero chicken tenders, and the burger. The nachos and the burger were dishes I would easily come back for. The burger was perfectly seasoned and superbly cooked, and the nachos were honestly some of my favorite in LA. The chicken tenders and tacos were also great-definitely above average for a bar, but not as remarkable as the burger and nachos. I didn’t have a cocktail, but all the guests I was with were very impressed with the margaritas.

Hey, I like to hand out five stars for most locally owned businesses. This is the latest iteration of the Griffin space across the street from the Tam O'Shanter. The latest owners changed little or nothing inside and out, similar to what the prior owners before that did. As always, the stand out space is the patio area that allows outdoor seating inside a prison yard type space (I say it with love.) It says no smoking etc but you can successfully vape there. They serve food as well, a little bit more than typical bar food and a little less than a straight up restaurant, my favorite is the carnitas nachos which easily feed two people the equivalent of an entire meal.
