Forget about chasing the next big event. This weekend make a brilliant dinner your thing to do at West Los Angeles’s Waterloo & City!

This week’s Q Restaurant of the Week:

Ever been to a British gastropub? Do you even know what that entails? If you visit Waterloo & City you will get to experience first hand the relaxed English pub style setting and high quality artistic gastronomic cuisine a gastropub has to offer. It has a wonderfully decorated dining area and a bar area off to the side with flat screen TVs and even a pool table room. Executive Chef Brendan Collins, formerly of Melisse and Palihouse, and Carolos Tomazos, proprietors of Waterloo & City were inspired to create a place where people could eat in a comfortable setting, dine on exquisite food, and throw back a few beers. They succeeded in this venture!

Guests Compliments:
Guests love the presentation, freshness of the food, and varieties of flavors in the dishes Chef Collins creates. People notably love the eclectic nature of the menu. The incredible beer selection comprised of German, Belgian, English, Scottish, Irish, French, Canadian, Italian, American, and even Brazilian beers is also highly praised. Patrons rave about Waterloo’s dessert menu so don’t skip the sweet course!
