This should be a fantastic restaurant, but it's just a jumble of mixed messages. The waitstaff is an LA cliche of aspiring actors, all taut and pretty and young, but the patrons are for the most part older people, families, and a few business travellers from nearby hotels. Other than happy hour and the Mon-Tues specials (lobster and king crab - both quite good and reasonably priced on those days) the menu is actually pretty expensive for what it is. My husband and I keep going despite ourselves (mostly for the the steamed mussels at happy hour). It's almost lame and themed enough to be kitchy, but not quite.
