The best burgers ever!!!!!!!! there's always a waiting line, but I don't care, the only thing that matters is having that burger with those sweet potato fries and a gourmet beer!!!! Bon apetit!
Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Father's Office from around the web.
"I’m not the biggest fan of that burger. It’s more like a beef patty sandwich. The beef is nice and juicy, but the bun is more like a sandwich bun than a classic burger bun, and spongy to boot...."
"The first bite of the sandwich elicits a panoply of exotic and delicious flavors and textures, but ones that bear little relation to a hamburger...."
"Card and board games -- notably Trivial Pursuit -- on hand to play. Opened in 1955 by an aging volleyball player nicknamed "Dad...."
"Card and board games -- notably Trivial Pursuit -- on hand to play. Opened in 1955 by an aging volleyball player nicknamed..."
"but what about that cocktail list? It’s so smart of FO 2 to offer the hard stuff for those of us who need something stronger than beer or wine to make a bad day go away…fast...."
"Two burgers, one medium rare and one medium cooked perfectly, along with a shopping cart of sweet potato fries, one beer + one glass of wine. $46, plus tip. Steep, but worth the price...."
"I guess I’m closer to the former. I do really like it, but I do know, there are better burgers in LA. But the combination of a good burger, ambiance, patio and beers make this a wonderful spot...."
"The cheese, especially, has quite a note in this burger - sharp, distinct, but mellowed out by the onion soup topping, and offsets the arugula. It's just a masterpiece. I managed to save half for later, which took all my energy to not just go to town on b..."
"Yes, all everyone talks about is the Bleu Cheese burger at FO, but what about the lonely, neglected stepchildren on the menu... like the Smoked Eel with Poached Egg...."
"I wasn't in the mood for major burgerage so I tried a light raw albacore plate with olives and tiny yellow tomatoes...."
"'s oldest restaurants, a fairy-tale building that could double as a medieval pub. Sit in one of the Masterpiece Theater-y leather chairs near the bar, order a single-malt scotch, and, ignoring the menu, ask for a burger...."
"The killer Office burger that annihilates the senses. Rest assured that it is still gorgeous and complex in all it's magnificence like the original location's...."
"Steak au Poivre ($18) was a seared pepper steak topped with minced garlic, served with herb-strewn matchstick-cut frites. The fries were crispy but dry...."
"Chef Sang Yoon used to serve gourmet California cuisine at nearby Michael's. But when the itch for his own place hit, he took over this tiny, unpretentious local bar and grill and added his own touches, making this an outstanding joint...."
"The burger is a dry aged beef which is amazingly juicy and flavorful. I ordered medium and it looked more like medium rare though ... next time I will have to order medium well...."
"The food is hearty and hand-licking delicious. All three of us ordered the burger. Of course. You have to get the burger..."
"Chef Sang Yoon once served gourmet California cuisine at nearby Michael's, displaying all of the elegance and culinary expertise expected in a legendary dining room. But when the itch for his own place finally needed to be scratched, he took over this tin..."
"For a first night, no big delays on the food at our table, and everything was cooked as it should be (burger just medium with all the appropriate toppings, fries crisp and hot, curry lemongrass mussels steamy)...."
"Last night Sang Yoon threw the doors open, at least momentarily, at his new Father's Office at the Helms Bakery complex...."
"And finally, something close to nirvana as you bite into that same dripping, caramelized-onion-topped burger that makes the whole wait worth it...."
"But that burger? Not my favorite. The beef is most excellent, but the bun is bready and the caramelized onions too sweet. It needs something crunchy and maybe some mustard too...."
"I'm not the biggest fan of that burger. It's more like a beef patty sandwich. The beef is nice and juicy, but the bun is more like a sandwich bun than a classic burger bun, and spongy to boot...."
"Sang Yoon's blissful burger (pictured above) at Father's Office, say, with its caramelized onions, gooey mix of Gruyere and Maytag Blue and thatch of arugula (which is what I got for my post-movie fix, the new FO being right up my street)...."
"Is the food perfect? Not quite yet. The Thai steak salad was made with microgreens and leaves of sparkling-fresh romaine lettuce, but the chile-citrus dressing was closer to the orange goop you may remember from your high school cafeteria..."
"If you can take the seething crowd of yuppies (not so bad on weekdays), the much-lauded Father's Office burger belongs on anyone's best of LA list. Not strictly comparable with say, the Apple Pan, it's gourmet blue cheese, bacon compote and aged beef are..."
"I mean, the place is a bar first and a restaurant second. It is one of the best beer lists on the West Coast if not the country. Less celebrated is the establishments cocktail program. Yoon has created a short list of vintage cocktails to please those loo..."
"http://oishiieats.blogspot.com/2008/04/girls-can-drink-beer-too-fathers-office.html..."
"he Office Burger was tremendous. The combination of the spicy arugula, the sweetly caramelized onions, the pungent bleu cheese, along with a burger patty that was moist and cooked just right made me a happy burger girl...."
"We ordered at the bar and the food were served at our table promptly. The beer was really good. There’s a wide selection of craft beers on tap line up on the wall behind the bar. Quite overwhelming to choose but the bartender could choose for you if you t..."
"This is what we came for and it didn't disappoint. The meat is so soft and tender but it has this steady understated flavor that is always present but never obvious..."
"It doesn't happen often, but some sequels best the original..."
"Only food on offer seemed to be the chef's burgers or tuna steaks...."
"They have the same menu as the first location, but they have a liquor license now so you can also get the hard stuff...."
"But Father's Office, or F.O. for short, quickly became a popular watering hole for locals in Santa Monica, a beach town south of Malibu. Lines snaked out the door, and Hollywood luminaries from Steven Spielberg to Brooke Shields craved Yoon's food...."
