Father's Office Restaurant is one of our 2012
| Top 10 LA Gastropub Restaurants

 Chef Sang Yoon used to cook gourmet California cuisine at nearby Michael's. But when the itch for his own place hit, he took over this tiny, unpretentious local bar and grill and added his own touches, making this an outstanding joint. He's preparing good Spanish tapas, bar food and special dinners a few nights a week. But the main attraction here is the Office Burger, which is arguably L.A.'s best. A patty of fine dry-aged beef is topped with caramelized onions, Gruyère and Maytag cheeses, applewood-smoked bacon compote and arugula served on a soft roll. A basket of fries à la carte arrives in a miniature grocery cart with some wonderful garlicky aïoli. Yoon allows no substitutions or alterations of any type. The bar features a great selection of beers in addition to a decent wine list. Just know that there are no reservations and no waiting list, so be prepared to battle for a table with a crowd that's been drinking.
