One of my favorite foods (Italian), but you have to know what you want before you walk in. Otherwise, you'll spend too long deciding what to eat. Or you'll end up eating a whole lot of their famous rolls. Don't forget to hide some in your purse on your way home. The waiters are friendly and artists themselves. The one in Universal City I believe all the waiters sing. Great place to entertain the family and out of towners. Nice ambiance for a date. I recommend the eggplant Parmesan and the ravioli. Bring lots of cash and make it a romantic evening.

Was in LA for a business trip and this hotel is located close to the convention. Room is clean and spacious, service was excellent. The breakfast was great too! For the price per night, it is worth every penny!

This place has a beautiful garden, you'd never know you were in the middle of the city. It really feels like the country, you can't even hear the traffic. the Mousaka was divine, as was the tsatziki. The music was also alot of fun, something new.
Pros: Great Lamb, beautiful local
Cons: none

Having just experienced the Buggy Whip for the first time, we're very impressed. We'd recommend it to anyone, but especially those who appreciate classic mid-20th century dining.
The quality and attention to detail in terms of atmosphere, decor, service and (last but not least) food was superb.
In terms of atmosphere and decor - The subdued lighting, the wood paneling, the high-back leather booths, and even the lack of tv screens (an unfortunate rarity these days) combine in evoking mid-century style, a time when dining was truly an event.
Our waiter for the evening was Fidel, a superbly professional, attentive, knowledgeable and funny server. Seats and butts hadn't had even a chance to get past hello before the drinks were on the table. He achieved the golden mean of service - high attentiveness without even a hint of invasiveness.
The food was classic without being staid; the range of dishes enjoyed by our table (prime rib, trout, chicken piccata) being uniformly excellent in flavor, freshness and presentation. Be warned however - portions are generous!
The highlight of the evening however, was the pianist, Peter Wagner. This guy defines the term "musical stylings" like nobody else, ever. Peter can play just about anything, and his arrangements and delivery are *amazing*. Manilow, Diamond, The Animals...he made every song fresh and delightful, camping up the lounge stuff, but with bang-on virtuosity. We were lucky enough to be late diners, so we got to sing along and clap like you might not want to do with a full dining room.
Regardless, be sure to pick up his CD's...We'd *especially* recommend his single of "House of the Rising Sun" - pure, pure gold.
Pros: Peter Wagner!
Cons: Location, but great if you're on the way to the airport

We were going to Hollywood from OC to see a play and needed to find some place to eat. My husband has seen Steven's Steakhouse hundreds of times from working in the area, heard it was good so we decided to give it a try. It was a Saturday night around 5:30 and we were seated right away. Fresh bread and butter was brought to our table right away and our order was taken. Salads were soon to follow. The complimentary pasta was a nice tasty change from the usual baked potato. Our meal followed soon after. The filet mignons were absolutly to DIE for! Every where we dine, I always order the filet mignon and hands down Steven's has the absolute best ever. We walked out of Steven's knowing this was our new favorite place to eat! Excellent food at a reasonable price. I heard they had dancing, lessons, dj's and other functions, but it was pretty quiet on the homefront when we were there. Last but not least, our host and waitress were very friendly. Like their website says, you can't blame them if you become a regular!
