I've visited both this and the Melrose Lala's location, and they're both a lot of fun. The Studio City restaurant doesn't have as nice (or big) of a patio, but the food's still great, and the service at the time of our visit was jovial and attentive. The chimichurri sauce served with the bread is my favorite part of the Lala's experience - I drizzle it on eveything from empanadas to salad. The proveleta is also a revelation: melted cheese in a skillet - how can you go wrong?
