Thirteen is Black-owned (James Harden, NBA L.A. Clippers) and caters to traditional flavors with a Japanese flare, elevated fine dining. They have a live DJ, hookah, and innovative libations. They also offer a one-of-a-kind Night Club better known as "The Basement" with spacious sections and a private area with a two lane bowling alley and private bar. Make reservations since this is a popular location.

Doves is a Southern cuisine with an Asian twist and it is Black-owned. They had the best grits out of everywhere I have tried. Brunch and dinner is popular here. It is best to make reservations. Pictured: Bananas Foster Pancakes, Oxtail Hash, Grits, Chicken Wings

The Davis Street Restaurant is Southern hospitality mixed with fine dining and drinks. This is also Black-owned. I had the opportunity to try their ‘A Taste of Autumn’ Prix-Fixe Menu which didn’t disappoint. Imagine paying one price for a 4-course meal. This doesn’t happen often. Make reservations!
