They serve fresh raw peppers with a bean dipping sauce, I actually like that a lot. The peppers are cool, crunchy, juicy and not spicy at all. When dipped into the mildly salty bean sauce, it's an interesting combination. 3.5 rounded down. Located on the west side of Vermont, in a mini mall with parking in the front. A few doors down from Park's BBQ. Nice service. Bring cash, credit cards are accepted for over a certain limit only.

The food court is pretty parse, we had lunch and then came back during a break for iced coffee and churros. Best to arrive early, park in the center and make the rounds, so you can drop bags off in the middle. We were here all day, left at 9 am and got home after 4 pm. I would definitely recommend it. 4.5 rounded down, due to the food court should be premium too.

Downgraded to four stars since one of the lazy waitresses thought it was easier to lie to us and say that happy hour was only at the nearby restaurant sushi bar and bar tables. Then we observed other patrons seated around the couches ordering from the happy hour menu. Subsequently we got our apps and drinks when we ignored her and proceeded to order anyway. Meanwhile, the waitress does not apologize nor explain her previous remarks.

Great boutique hotel, lobby area elegant and comfortable. Low-key, quaint, like this place. Service pretty decent, except when the ditsy waitress mixed up the credit cards and took my friend's platinum American Express card to another diner and then had to reverse the charges. Well known for their tasty skinny fries, my irish coffee was good. Jazz musicians that played in the bar area excellent, pristine, like a recorded cd, really great. Valet parking, friendly doorman at the front.

Ordered the Gourmand with Prosciutto, Black Forest Ham, Brie, Cucumber and Tomatoes. The bread was over toasted, too dry and crusty. Could only finish half of the sandwich because it was too hard to eat. My friend ordered the Hanger Steak with Black Peppercorn Sauce and French Fries. It's a lot of steak, covered with sauce. 3.5 rounded up for the ambiance and menu variety, as overwhelming as that is.

This restaurant shares retail space with another commerical business, American Rag Compagnie. There is a counter and a few tables for dining in the back. The cashier told me that the front store, which sells french ceramics and gift items, and the next door clothing store are both owned by American Rag. It seems to work rather well actually.
Had the arugula prosciutto w/ shaved parmesan salad. The prosciutto really good, non-fatty and generous portion. Arugula very fresh. We sat at the sidewalk tables outside, shaded by an umbrella. Nice but slow service, the waitress forgot to bring more olive oil. Large glasses of water with lemon slice, I can't think of another place that does this right now. Authentic bread that is crusty on the the outside with oil and vinegar drip. Quaint store, euro vibe, great menu options, lots of blond eye candy here as well. Three and a half stars, rounded up for the ambiance.
The night Jackie Chan was here, the food was very, very good. And I had meant to go back earlier because it has great prices as well. I hadn't been back here until a few weeks ago. Pictures of Jackie Chan are framed on the wall, and the staircase from the movie look great in the real. Lunch specials $4.25, early bird dinner $5.25. See photos, 3.5 rounded down.

Nice way to spend a day, the art collection is just ok. Lots of medieval stuff, and religious themed art. Van Gogh's Irises is there, that's about it. The building and the grounds are serene, especially the garden area. A picnic is a good way to spend time there. The cafe on the grounds has outdoor patio type seating and it very relaxing as well, except it can get a little windy.
Other LA museums have much more interesting collections, especially Norton Simon. LACMA has some cool modern stuff on a regular basis. It's not the MET, MOMA, or LACMA. There are lots of learning tools available to the public, music events, etc.
Definitely worth the trip to enjoy the day at a beautiful, organized, and serene environment. Check out the architecture. No reservations required, parking $8. Even the wait for the tram up to the museum is pleasant. The art collection is - well, not memorable. Three stars for the art, 1 extra star cause it's free to enjoy the beautiful setting. They even provide umbrellas when it rains.
I asked him to write down my tire size on the back of their card. While he was writing it down, I couldn't believe my ears when he said it was FIVE dollars. Trying not to act shocked, went out to the cashier and handed him $5, hoping that I heard it right. Go here for the best deal in town. On the south side of Hollywood Blvd, just east of Harvard.
