Best Gastro Pubs in Boyle Heights

First time for us at Proper, the photos and previous reviews had won us over. Highlights; service was very solid and atmosphere was as the photos led on, very nice. The food; caesar salad, deviled eggs to start - both okay, but lacking any "oh these are good" moments. Entrees - chicken paccata and salmon - too much butter and again, okay, but no, "oh my this is good" bites. The misc; music was in/out and not really heard from our seat making it eerily quiet at times when the music wasn't on. Overall a 3.5 experience.

I always have a good time when it comes to the State Social House. Our server (and her name slipped my mind) is always so kind. The Blackened Salmon & Pepperoni Pizza were delicious. You have to get the Espresso Martini on the menu. Well worth it. It was great to see Kid from Kid and Play there. We watched the bartender do some great tricks with fire and alcohol. Tons of fun. Diverse music. Various sports on the TV's. Great place to smoke and chill.

Great experience, nice ambiance , the staff were so nice and helpful, Great place for the birthday dinner for my girlfriend, everyone had a good time and were very comfortable.

Short-staffed, and I didn't have time to order food and wait. Establismebtbseemed like it wasn't ready for a big crowd on a Friday evening. The 2 bartenders were doing a great job considering the situation with some of the rude inpatient customers.

Our server was awesome. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. And the food is always outstanding. Truffle fries, guacamole & pico platter and hummus plate are among my fav starters here. This is becoming one of my favorite places to dine in the Arts District.
