Allston Yacht Club, Echo Park

The Allston Yacht Club is the wrong restaurant for the right place. This right place, echo park, is the home to many fine latin cuisines.

But in sell honesty, Allston Yacht Club is for the yuppies of the westside, or downtown LA, or even a few miles east to silver lake.

On this late afternoon weekday, after fighting traffic, I finally made my way to the happy hour at Allston’s. My diligent research, mostly through yelp, told me about the 4 grilled cheese special. That was my number one goal. I knew that Allston’s was testing out their sandwiches for the upcoming LA grilled cheese event. I remember three out of the four were good, but i didn’t care much for the rolls they were served with.

I know the other dishes were decent. But the desserts were exceptional. I’d come back with a date for desserts. But the big problem is that they are located in a less than desirable location.
