Mixology 101 at the Grove

Mixology 101 at the Grove
This past weekend my friends took me to Mixology 101 at The Grove to celebrate my birthday. OMG, I just  love the gorgeous outdoor seating area, perfect to dine while enjoying the nice Los Angeles weather and have delicious food and drinks. 
​Mixology is a bar/lounge located on the 2nd floor of the Grove, just next to Buca di Beppo, and a few steps away from the Farmer's Market. The best part is that due to its location, you can also enjoy wonderful views while sipping on some delicious drinks and snacking on appetizers. Mixology has both indoor and outdoor seating.

The restaurant  atmosphere, vibes and music are great. The location is perfect and it is a great place to come hangout after a day of shopping or just to chill with friends.

The Food

We tried a lot of things on the menu. Since I am trying to follow a Ketogenic way of eating, I asked for some modifications and they were happy to accommodate my requests. My friends eat the rest and we even had some few things to take home to our families at the end of the day.

KAARAGE CHICKEN

Chicken thighs, soy sauce, lemon zest, mirin, garlic, togorashi
Make sure to get the lemon on the chicken and dip on the sauce for a better experience. Great to pair with an order of fries.

​LUXARDO-GLAZED BACON

Bacon, brown sugar, maple syrup, luxardo cherry
I ordered the bacon without the sugar, and it was a great keto option.

AVOCADO TOAST

​Avocado, heirloom cherry tomato, watermelon radish, radish sprouts, seeded bread
This was very delicious. I had some of the avocado without the toast, to make it keto

SHRIMP TOAST

​Shrimp, piquillo peppers, pickled onion, watercress, radish, aji verde, seeded bread.
If you are on Keto, just eat the shrimp.

​"MEAT ME AT THE BAR"

Mortadella, beef bresaola, salami, parmesan, artichoke bruschetta, aji verde sauce, bread
Skip the bread and you have a great keto option here

​"TAKE A DIP"

​Smashed avocado, heirloom cherry tomatoes, cilantro flower, yellow corn, tortilla chips
I had the avocado and skipped the yellow corn and tortillas to keep it keto.

​"ROOTING FOR YOU"

​Fingerling potato, sunchokes, pork belly, goat cheese, smoked sea salt, pecorino cheese, radish sprout.
Underneath the potatoes are chucks of pork belly, perfect for those on Keto.

​MEATBALLS

I just eat the porchetta and skipped the bun to keep it keto

​ANCHO REYES HANGAR

You can ask for them without the maple to avoid some carbs if you are on keto.

​FRIED CHICKEN

I didn't have this one, but if friends said it was really good.

The Drinks

Off course my birthday celebration was not complete without some drinks. I chose champagne because it does not have that many carbs. My friends were able to enjoy the other delicious drinks Mixology 101 has to offer.

​JAMAICAN SANGRIA

​Appleton 12 year rum, kirk & sweeny rum, dark horse cabernet sauvignon, crème de pêche, framboise, orange juice & honey syrup

Wow that bacon looks to dye for! There's a place here in CO that sells what they call "million dollar bacon". I had it, and it's pretty darn good, this looks similar. I love the meatball dish as well. It looks like a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday! Happy Birthday!

All of these foods look delicious. I always love to try brussel sprouts whenever I'm at a new restaurant.

All the food you've shown here looks amazing. I do keto, too, and it's sometimes hard to find a chef willing to make the adjustments.
