Journeymen, the Atwater Village restaurant in the space once occupied by the adored Canel?, is a neighborhood spot that's striving for more?? and it's an exciting thing to see.

It?deservedly gets a lot of attention, served?on its own with cultured butter or charred with a caponata-esque eggplant relish with plump golden raisins and crème fraîcheconsistency Liwa goat cheese. As for the scene, everyone looks as if they're having a good time, whether tucked into a banquette or gazing out the window at the characters walking by on Glendale. Read our full review.
