Damian - DTLA



Had a very good dinner at Damian last night. I agree with @hppzz didnt get any smokiness from the clam but otherwise was a delicious appetizer. Tlayuda was also very good. Duck was the best dish of the night, perfectly cooked paired well with the pineapple butter/tortillas really enjoyed this dish. The tortillas were definitely kind of pedestrian, which was surprising but I guess others have reported the same thing.

Service was pleasant but the waitress seemed very busy and aside from taking our orders was basically non-existent. The dining area in the patio is very lovely.

Overall you could definitely do worse for restaurants but I would agree that it’s not in the upper tier of my favs in the city. It’s really surprising that it’s owned by Olvera since there is nothing really adventurous on the menu, the menu feels very safe and the food def pales in comparison to pujol. Did a bang bang with super tortas df
