Ep. 019 | Lucia | Fairfax

Lucia on Fairfax is owner Sam Jordan's vision of a restaurant that feels like an event the moment you walk in. ⁠⁠The European influence drives the room: a late-night party atmosphere complete with a live DJ, but never crosses into tacky clubstaurant territory. (They do have a dress code — no hats, no sleeveless shirts — though enforcement is...flexible.)⁠⁠The food and drinks take you on a trip through the Caribbean, dressed up in European fine dining techniques and plating, with a touch of Los Angeles woven in. The menu evolves constantly with the seasons, but some dishes seem to have stayed the course, like the delectable wagyu beef patties.⁠⁠ https://www.luciala.com/ @lucialosangeles Our Meal At Lucia | Fairfax | Los Angeles | California | Opened August 2025 🎧 Listen to the Podcast: Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/3ZUVt7hAf8JvrA4NvHRd7Z?si=3f3b627900fb4583 Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aftertaste-la/id1840083535 Amazon → https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/b94749de-3c4c-40a2-b549-f80ac2725a58/aftertaste-la RSS Feed → https://feeds.captivate.fm/aftertaste-la/ 📱 Connect with us here: Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/aftertastela Threads → https://www.threads.com/@aftertastela TikTok → https://www.tiktok.com/@aftertastela 🍴 About Aftertaste LA: Join Chef Vlad and Nicole on their journey through the Los Angeles dining scene.
