Old L.A.- Where would Bogie eat?

Hi there! I only used Chowhound the once to find the answer to this Q. Now that I'm asking again for S.F., I wanted to belatedly thank you guys for all of your help with the L.A. query. We visited Musso & Frank's and it was perfect. I loved the red-coated waiters and the frozen-in-time quality of everything in the place, including my spaghetti and my friends' steak, and especially my sidecar glass that came with a sidecar of sorts :)

I found a set of barware like that at Value Village once, but I don't know the proper term for it: it's a smaller martini-style glass with rounded edges, and an accompanying glass that looks like a mini milk jug.

My only regret is not getting parking validated... thanks again!! I was overwhelmed with the great responses, and I can't wait to visit again and try more of your picks.

Sincerely
Rachel

ah, wonderful! yes i'm not thinking of the quality of the food so much as the atmosphere, but it's nice to know that some of them do match up. i should've mentioned that i do want to dress up, although if i'll be turned away for not wearing designer frocks i suppose that'd be good to know. :)
