Joyce

Welcome to Joyce, a modern coastal restaurant located in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. 

Our main focus is bringing reimagined Southern cuisine to the bustling city, with a touch of sustainability and a nod to traditional flavors. At the helm of our kitchen is Michelin-award-winning Chef and co-owner Sammy Monsour, previously of LA's famed Preux & Proper. Our menu features soulful Southern dishes, highlighting sustainable seafood and a variety of fine American caviars. The raw bar program is a must-try, with an abundance of fresh and delicious options to choose from. For those looking for a heartier meal, Chef Monsour's creations, such as the Cornmeal Crusted Nashville Hot Catfish and Hickory Smoked Tomahawk Pork Chop, will provide rich and comforting flavors. 

To complement the vibrant flavors of our food, co-owner and Beverage Director Kassady Wiggins has designed a zero-landfill cocktail program that is both well-balanced and environmentally conscious. Our drinks are a perfect blend of the familiar and the new, with a Southern influence apparent in every sip. Be sure to try our signature cocktails, like the Hootie Hoo and Mother of Pearl Martini. 

Joyce is a family-owned and operated restaurant, with Founders and Operators Prince and Athena Riley at the helm. Our name is inspired by their daughter and her grandmother, and our establishment embodies the values of family, connection, and bringing joy to our guests through shared dining experiences. Come join us at Joyce and experience the best of reimagined Southern cuisine in a modern coastal setting.
