About Joyce

Joyce is a Southern restaurant with a modern coastal twist located in Downtown Los Angeles, at 770 S. Grand Ave. Billed as "the Best Southern Restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles," Joyce serves coastal Southern–inspired cuisine that blends soul food classics with seafood-forward dishes, from fried catfish and cornbread to rich mac and cheese. The dinner menu features a raw bar with oysters, colossal shrimp cocktail, Peruvian scallops, and Hawaiian kanpachi ceviche, along with composed seafood platters, and desserts such as beignets, apple bourbon crumble, banana pudding, and affogato. The restaurant also runs a "zero-landfill" cocktail program, crafting drinks that emphasize sustainability alongside bold, soulful flavors. The restaurant describes itself as a neighborhood gem and a popular destination for pre-event dining, business dinners, group dining, and private events, offering a warm, high-energy atmosphere for both everyday meals and special occasions. Joyce hosts a daily Happy Hour from 5–7 p.m. featuring craft cocktails, wine, beer, and small bites. For groups, Joyce accommodates up to 150 guests and offers semi-private dining, patio events, catering, and full restaurant buyouts with customizable menus and flexible formats, making it a frequent choice for corporate dinners and celebrations in the downtown core. Located near L.A. Live, Crypto.com Arena, and the Los Angeles Convention Center, Joyce serves a mix of pre-event diners, business travelers, and neighborhood regulars. The restaurant takes reservations online and offers gift cards, and it maintains an active presence on Instagram and Yelp for updates on hours, menus, and events.
