yes....I love Malo

The drinks are great, cool scene and the food is solid. Order up entrees and then a bunch of Tacos and sides or appetizers.

Actually, I think Malo has the best breakfast in the city. Cheesy diablo potatoes.....wow

Thanks in advance

We were thinking along the lines of Casa Vega but large group and a Friday night is an insurance nightmare.

Does not have to be Mexican but something lively with good cocktails.

Thanks in advance.

Sushi Sushi is more expensive (5 to 10%) than Sushi Zo by the way.

More than waffles is across the street form Encino Deli, it is in the "mall" by the theater downstairs. Darn good breakfast.

I like Hu's a lot. For some reason it reminds me of the chinese place in a Christmas Story. It is simply solid, tasty food. The dumplings are awesome and the shrimp dishes are good. I like thier noodles as well.

One cool thing about Hu's is they don't serve booze but you can bring your own at no charge. There is a good liquor store next door if you forget.

The food at Katana is very tasty with lots of flavor. Katana is expensive and a scene so keep that in mind but for a "scene" place the food is actually very good.

Katana is great for a group because you can order all kinds of small plates.

Many place poorly judge carry-over cooking. Send it back.

What did you have? Its not A+ food but it is solid with exactly what the poster was looking for.

Matteo's on Westwood...hands down.

They have the same old classic menu but a great new more modern menu with a new chef.

I have been many times and never noticed this. Was it a one time thing for you?

Eat the fish of the day and it will be good. I like the Hummus, Smoked Trout and Avo app with toast point.

Ruth's food is consistant with everything in the very good range. There are no tanscendent items but there are very few clunkers. Order what you like and it will be very good, I like the pomme frites with the best steak of the day.

Anything not to be missed or off the menu items?

Get Omakase, he will ask you your preferences so simply tell him. I usually just tell him what I don't like, even if it was the best the world I don't dig it.

I was surprised because we had been going for years. Lots of our friends also go so its nice to get together after dinner for a drink.

My family and I have been going to SPL on X-mas every year for 12 years or so and have a fond place in our heart for the restaurant.

The meal was price fix with an overly ambitious menu in that every dish had multiple ingrediants. There was no venison or elk or even a filet available. The main course were rabbit, duck and lamb. The food came out slow and cold and the service was somewhat apathetic. It was as if the chef pre-cooked it all and the staff reheated it.

I think this was a result of a poorly executed price fix but a top end place should never make that mistake. On the plus side they did remove the wine from our bill when we inquired of the waitress what she thought of the meal.

At those price points you are looking at fast food options, I assume you mean $12-15 with tax and tip.

Maybe a place like Louise's on Pico could do a pizza & salad thing.

You will be fine in jeans as Dan Tana's is a mix of all kinds of people. There is a $10(? if I recall) sharing charge.

Thanks in advance.

Why was this post moved? The Mortons on Melrose is not a chain, it is a single stand alone restaurant not affiliated with the La Cienega location.

I could not find an email si I had to post

I love to watch games at the bar of a good steak place like Mastro's and Ruth's Chris. Sometimes you have to be patient for a seat but it pays off.

I would reco Enoteca Drago in Beverly Hills on Canon. Enoteca has a great wine list with lots of fairly priced by the glass options. They have, I would say, good italian food. The specials can be great and they have a small plates menu.

They have a large flat screen right in the dining room over the bar. There is no sound but you can clearly follow the game.

Yes, Zo is very fine for solo dining. Kei-zo is a very nice guy and when not too darn busy you can converse and discuss the items with him.

Park on the street with a meter, either Pico or Westwood.

The mall is open and you could park there and walk over.

I have always like Geoffrey's. It has some mixed foodie reviews the setting is unbeatable.

We are from LA and love all different kinds of food.

It would be a Tuesday night and any price range works if the valaue is there. You know a hamburger at McD's is overpriced to me because it stinks, while I don't mind paying for truly great stuff.

It is really not that out of the way, just off the 10 on national. Plus unlike 95% of sushi places the parking is easy as there is a huge grocery store lot available.

I think he said he was from Osaka. He has good english but a strong accent so I could have misheard. He used to work at Hide on Sawtelle.
