Looking for a brunch/lunch place for 5 - (in-laws + grandma) for a 35th birthday

We've thought of
-Farmshop
-Bouchon
-One Pico or Coast @Shutters
-Comme Ca
-Luques
-Tavern
-Geoffreys

Any thoughts of where is best? We've only been to Farmshop for brunch. Is there somewhere you've been (max = $30/per) that's out of this world?

Going this weekend around 10am. Any ideas where is good that can accommodate a stroller and a 6 month old?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if it's opened yet?

El Torito Grill max is about 60, but you may be able to work something out for the main dining room. They're really great to work with!

What about...
Maggiano's at The Grove
Asakuma
Napa Valley Grille
Palomino
Century Plaza Hyatt
Nate & Al's

Let me know what you end up with! We're looking for a rehearsal dinner too, somewhere the same part of town for about 50 people and El Torito Grill seems like the best bet so far!

Trying to find a place about $30/person for a Saturday night in August--but still classy and sophisticated for a rehearsal dinner for 40 to 60 people. Wedding is at the Four Season on Doheny and are looking a place that can fit our budget with out sacrificing class. We're looking into the places below. Is there somewhere we're missing, and should look into?

El Torito Grill on Wilshire
Da Pasquale
Maggiano's at The Grove
The Farm on Beverly

We wanted to consider Beech Street in the Palisades but it might be too expensive...

Thanks so much!

How about Takao on San Vicente & Darlington? Recently tried it and am in love. Service is great, just need to make sure and make reservations, as it's a fairly small place. Nagao (San Vicente & 26th) is also good. Have also hear amazing things about Hamasaku on Santa Monica right before Sepulveda.

-----
Nagao
13050 San Vicente Blvd Ste 110, Los Angeles, CA 90049

Takao
11656 San Vicente Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049

Hamasaku
11043 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90025

Any ideas of where we could look to have this? It will be about 40-60 people. A private room would be ideal.

Thanks!

What are the best restaurants in Kauai? Will be going for our honeymoon, and we want to plan some nice meals. We'll be staying at the Hyatt. Thanks!

Does anyone know a great cookbook for parents for kids who are 1+ years old?

Thanks!

Looking for somewhere in the Valley (along Ventura) or West LA. Less than $30/person and that could appeal to our parents and friends. Thank you!

Anyone know a good place for an engagement party for about 50-60 people that wouldn't be too expensive per person? Thanks!

Looking for somewhere to meet friends, from out of town, for brunch/lunch this weekend in the Woodland Hills/Encino/Sherman Oaks area. I thought maybe Whispers. Any other ideas?

Am going to Lawrys tonight for dinner with my fiance and his mom and grandma; however, I don't eat red meat. Has anyone who doesn't eat red meat, eaten there before? What do you suggest to order?

Thanks!

Best is definitely sold at San Vicente Foods. You can get some (average) in the bakery (back right corner of store) but the best is on the kosher baked goods stand/shelves right nearby to the bakery!

Any recommendations for a reasonably priced dinner in Pasadena? We'll be checking out the Langham hotel beforehand, and would love a place to decompress afterwards that has a lot of food options, especially on the healthier side --his dad is pre-diabetic.

Thanks!!

Does anyone know a good place for Mother's Day brunch?
We could do Calabasas and Malibu area too.

We were thinking maybe Coogie's on PCH...any thoughts?

Thanks!

Anyone suggest a place for a reasonably priced (under $20/person) for dinner on a weeknight in Beverly Hills? I was thinking maybe Oishi, Bossa Nova, Frida or maybe trying LA Food Show. Any thoughts?

Thank you!

Looking for somewhere other than Great Greek to go to for dinner tonight to get some greek/mediterranean food. Where have you been that you would recommend?

Thank you!

Does someone recommend a good place to eat in the Sherman Oaks area for Greek/Mediterranean food?

Thanks!

Hi all,

I'm looking for a good and affordable (<$20/person) for a birthday (#26) dinner this weekend. 16 people. I was thinking about Bossa Nova or a sushi restaurant. Any ideas? Thanks!

Have two friends visiting from out-of-town this week and we're meeting up for a later breakfast. We're all students, so something on the cheaper side is preferable. Any thoughts on good places on Montana, Wilshire or Santa Monica?

Thanks!

I'm meeting up with a group of my girl friends for dinner in Westwood/Brentwood and am looking for a place that's good and inexpensive but not a chain (like CPK). It also needs to have good parking since they're coming from the Valley. Any ideas?
