The Semi-Tropic brings back daytime service

Echo Park cocktail bar Semi-Tropic will bring back daytime service after pausing it due to COVID-19 indoor dining restrictions. Starting December 1, Semi-Tropic serves brunch from chef Sera Pisani of pop-up Domenica Dinette every day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The menu spans dishes like Greek potatoes, a waffle topped with candied hazelnuts, and jammy eggs bedded in labne. Semi-Tropic’s all-day happy hour, running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., also returns; laptops are welcome until 6 p.m.
