Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Elysian Valley

First real date with my newly girlfriend and it was honestly really nice to say that I took her there on our first date. The service was amazing and very friendly.

Wow what a great dining experience ! Start with the ambience, while it's a large industrial space the dining room is very warm and inviting. The use of hanging plants and lighting gives the feel of a Mediterranean garden. Loved the music. The food is excellent, we had duck nudja hummus, oyster mushroom kabob, grilled prawns, malawach and spiced pear cake for dessert. All were delicious, the standouts had to be the oyster mushrooms which were smoked and had the texture of a meat protein. The duck nudja hummus will ruin any other's you eat because this dish will be the standard. Every dish we had was special and I can't wait to return

Loved both the space and the food.We had booked the lounge area which turned out to be a bad decision for daytime dining, however the staff were very accommodating and moved us to the main dining room filled with bright daylight and similarly well designed and decorated space. The food was delicious and so was the service. Would definitely recommend this venue.

Momed is one of the great gems in LA. From the moment you walk through the entry with the Mediterranean kitchen on full display, to the open seating area warm and inviting. You instantly fall in love with Momed. The bar is the setting where you want to camp out and try any of the hand-crafted cocktails with the sumac chicken wings and grab an order of the cauliflower, too; the rice flour-based tempura is mind-blowing. Dinner at Momed is exceptional, too- starting with the Muhammara, the fermented pepper paste with the house-made sourdough pita is life-changing. You can't go wrong with anything on the small bites list; the smoked labni in the roasted beets is mouth-watering. For your main course, try everything, but the short rib with the zhoug is a go-to every time for me, and the striped bass is also fantastic. Momed will become your favorite spot as it has mine.

Everyone was very kind, attentive, and friendly during our Thanksgiving Lunch! I really appreciated the attentive service and was very happy with the experience, the food, and the staff! Everyone was exceptional & welcoming.
