Lady "Lady M" M.'s Profile

I first read about this place on the AAA magazine several months ago.   I love to try new and hip places so I filed it in the back of my mind and planned to try it soon.

I recently went for dinner and didn't realize they open till 6pm so I walked around and killed some time at a local coffee shop (not sure on the name?).

I finally made it back and was automatically in love with the place, the retro design, colors, and the cooks are right up front for your view which to me is super cool.

I tried the double stuffed chicken which came with stuffing and spinach.  It was so juicy and the stuffing was to die for.  To drink I had their homemade mint lemonade which was divine and refreshing.  My friends dish was just as delish; salmon with mashed potatoes and asparagus.  I couldn't leave without trying out the red velvet cake with  a cup of their lovely coffee and I am so glad I did.  

I cannot wait to go back!

ps/The only thing that turned me off was having to pay $5 for parking at the nearest lot. Next time I will have to street park.

I saw a flier of this place from my fist trip to the Silent Movie Theatre in LA about a month ago.  We kept it to make sure to return and we did.  We went a couple weeks ago and I was very satisfied.  

The appetizers and the main course meal was delicious and very authentic.  It is a very down to earth place, quiet, and romantic.  You can seat yourself indoors or outdoors.  We decided to sit outside and enjoy the cool night air.  We ordered the pancake and fried shrimp for appetizers.  The hot mustard  complimented the tamarind sauce very well and the onion pancake was to die for.  I had the coconut curry which was good but not my favorite but the fried rice with an egg on top was an instant fave.

I cannot wait to try it again!

I love the ambiance of this place and it feels like you're at home, well that's if you have a nice backyard.

The food is good but I prefer either breakfast or lunch, how can  you possibly mess that up right?  

I had the omelette's with basil, garlic, tomatoes, and feta cheese.  I highly recommend it.  Hubby had the egg white omelette and it's his fave.

This is a must try!

I've heard this place has excellent food so we tried it....

Hubby and I went last Friday for the firs time.  We tried the spaghetti and meat balls.  The pasta was dry with not enough sauce.  We were very impressed with the huge meatballs which were tasty.  The ceaser salad was lame, I should have returned it for a fresher one because it tasted OLD.  We also had the fried calamari and that was good.  My lemon-basil mojito was delish and the garlic bread rocked!  We even got a free order because the bus boy threw our left over bread by mistake.

I'm not crazy about chain restaurants, especially Italian food so I was not surprised that it was so-so.  I will not be returning.

I believe this is more of an "old crowd" hang out.  It appears that the locals and business people in the area frequent this establishment.  

Hubby and I have been back several times this year and we like it.  Hubby had the salmon which he loved and I had the blackened chicken pasta which was delish.  The Vodka tonics were off the hook.

I recommend it for a quick bite and a cocktail but that's it!
