Allston Yacht Club
Let’s get one thing straight: Allston Yacht Club is not in Allston, nor is it a yacht club. In true hipster fashion, the restaurant with the ironic name is in Echo Park, nowhere near a place where yachts can dock. The brainchild of two former entertainment types who hail from Allston, Mass., Charles Kelly and Bill DiDonna took over the old 15 space on Echo Park Avenue just above Sunset Boulevard and put together a menu of foods they like to eat.
Speaking of which, Kelly and DiDonna invited some food bloggers, including e*starla and nakedsushi, to try some of the food on the menu. Unfortunately for me (and nakedsushi), I attended a media dinner that happened to be on the same night as a private event that turned out to be much larger than the restaurant had anticipated. So my media table got kind of lost amid the chaos, i.e., we waited a LONG time in between courses.
Anyway, on to the food.
