  • Beautifully decorated, inviting vegetarian spot

Butcher's Daughter is more of a 3.5 star. Once it's open a bit longer and works out its kinks, it could easily be a 4 or 5 star place for us. I'd say the main thing that tips this to a 4 is the beautiful decor. Each decoration was thought of, and the inside is immaculately decorated - it reminds me of Gracias Madre in West Hollywood. The space is large and airy and there's a small area to sit outside in large comfy chairs. They have a perfect spot right in the middle of Abbot Kinney, and there was a wait when we arrived at 10am on Saturday. We were able to sit at the back bar with no wait, but the stools were a bit small and uncomfortable, so I wouldn't rush to do that again unless we were really hungry. Service was okay, if a bit slow/off. Our server mentioned it was his second day, and this place is obviously new, so hopefully they get into their groove sooner than later. We went with a friend and got a tea, decaf coffee and coffee. The coffee took quite awhile to come, and our friend had to ask about it 2x before it came, you'd think that'd be something they have on hand quickly on a busy Saturday morning. Overall food was generally tasty but small portions! It's not awfully priced, especially considering its location and what everyone's charging nearby, but we left a bit unsatisfied in terms of hunger. We had: -Acai Bowl - This was just okay. It reminded me a lot of the one at Dogtown, but we've definitely had better and bigger bowls for less than $11. I wouldn't order it here again. Barely two blackberries on it, a strawberry and a small scattering of granola. The acai was quite sweet and not too smooth. Small was the biggest issue though. -Egg Sandwich Platter - This was good, though I'd hardly call it a platter! Sandwich felt very tiny, and came with 1/8 of a green apple diced on the side. Flavor was very good - mix of egg, tomato jam and avocado on 7-grain bread. The creaminess you'd expect from this kind of sandwich was there, just wish there was more! -Side of adzuki bacon - I had loved this when we had it at the NYC location. Here it was good, but it felt like it was trying to be and look too much like real bacon. We did see them bring a breakfast pizza out to a table and that was sizable, so I guess it's a matter of ordering the right items here. They do have an extensive juice and smoothie menu as well with unique flavors you don't generally see offered elsewhere. Excited to have another promising vegetarian spot on Abbot Kinney!
