Lunch near Old Globe Theatre?

Thanks for recommending Brian's American Eatery. We had a great lunch there.

Lunch near Old Globe Theatre?

Yup, we're going to a 2:00 matinee.

Lunch near Old Globe Theatre?

I'm going to the Old Globe in a few weeks, and being from the L.A. area, I'm not very familiar with the territory. I'd love some nice suggestions for lunch not too far from the theatre. Good old all-American fare is what I have in mind: burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc.

crumble coffee cake

I appreciate all your suggestions, but I sure would like to get the exact same one that used to be featured at Starbucks!

crumble coffee cake

Crenshaw's a bit too far for me. How about the L.A. area? By the way, in New York they carry it at Cafe Europa. I'd sure like to taste it again here in town.

crumble coffee cake

Starbucks used to feature a delicious crumble coffee cake. They no longer carry it. Is there any place in the San Fernando Valley where I can find it?

restaurants at cosmopolitan?

Hasn't anyone out there tried these restaurants at the new Cosmopolitan?

restaurants at cosmopolitan?

I'll be staying at the Cosmopolitan for two evenings. Thought I'd try their buffet one night and either Scarletta, STK or The Henry the second night. Opinions?

Mulberry Street Pizza - Yikes!

I like their pizza ... well I like their thin sliced cheese. That's the only kind I've tried, but I've never been disappointed ... talking about the Encino branch.

Lunch near Acquariem of the Pacific

Thanks for your suggestions. I think I'll try the B n B.

Lunch near Acquariem of the Pacific

Traveling from L.A. to visit the Acquarium this Sunday. Any nice lunch spots in the area? American fare or Italian.

Looking for great pizza place in Sherman Oaks/Studio City Area

I second (third?) Mulberry St. Pizza. This ex-New Yorker loves their cheese-only thin crust slice. Never tasted the rest, but I go back often for that slice of heaven!

Need moderately priced, excellent restaurant in SFV (near 101/405) other than Cafe Bizou.

Simon's Cafe on Sepulveda is great ... Mediterranean/Morrocan fare ... their chicken tagine is wonderful!

BEST CHINESE IN MONTEREY PARK

I'm going with a friend, and we're looking for great Cantonese. Price is no object, and I've heard so much about Monterey Park, I'd like to give that a try.

BEST CHINESE IN MONTEREY PARK

I've often heard about the great Chinese Restaurants in Monterey Park. I'm planning to go ... what's the best of them?

Greek restaurant in San Fernando Valley

Thanks for your tips. Took your advice and went to the Great Greek. There were four of us, and we all agreed ... great food at the GREAT Greek! Thanks again!

Greek restaurant in San Fernando Valley

Thanks, but I need a sit down type of place. Canoga Park would be okay, too.

What's the best Greek restaurant in the Studio City, Sherman Oaks, or Encino area?

Mastro's/Beverly Hills

It was a typo, sorry about that!

Mastro's/Beverly Hills

I'm going to Mastro's this Friday evening (June 29, 2009). What are their best dishes?

Green Street Tavern-Recommendations Please

Try their cornucopia salad ... delicious!

Best Pizza slice - west 50s?

I'll be visiting NYC next week. Where can I go for the best slice of pizza around 58th and Central Park West?

Simon's Cafe, Sherman Oaks

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. That's not at all like the wonderful times I've had at Simon's Cafe. I eat there often because 1) the prices are reasonable, 2) the food is fresh and delicious, 3) and Simon is a charming host. I suggest you give it another try. I read the Times review and I couldn't agree more!

Best Italian, Chinese, Indian, Thai, French, American?

I'm staying at the Essex House on Central Park West. Don't care about price ... only interested in ambiance and quality.

Best Italian, Chinese, Indian, Thai, French, American?

Planning to visit New York City in April. Looking for the best food in town. Any suggestions?

Christmas Eve dinner in SF Valley

I'm looking for a good Christmas Eve dinner in the Studio City, Sherman Oaks, Burbank area. Any suggestions?

SIMON'S CAFE/SHERMAN OAKS

I forgot to mention that my friend had a dish called cous-cous (sp?) royale, and said it was "out of this world." Give this restaurant a try. The guy needs the business, and the food is delicious. It's just across the street from Whole Foods Market.

SIMON'S CAFE/SHERMAN OAKS

After reading all those good reviews about Simon's Cafe on Sepulveda Blvd., South of Ventura Blvd., I decided to try it today for lunch. You guys were right. The food was superb. I had a chicken tagine with dried fruits, and it was incredible. For dessert I had the homemade baklava, and that was great, too! And Simon, the owner, is the nicest guy. Thanks for your recommendations!

vegas restaurants at caesars and palazzo

We're staying at the Bellagio, so recommendations for restaurants there, would also be appreciated.

vegas restaurants at caesars and palazzo

I'm going to Vegas in a couple of weeks. I'd like to eat at the same hotel where we'll be seeing shows. What's best at Caesar's Palace and at the new Palazzo?
