This restaurant is a perfect example of what's wrong with most ""institutions"" in Los Angeles. This place just sucked. Food was comparable to ""wedding food."" Soup was cream based garbage I could've easily gotten from any banquet hall. Salad equivalent to a McDonald's blend of iceberg and carrot shavings. Could've had a better and cheaper steak at Sizzler. Service was awful. Server was slammed and frazzled. An explanation would've been enough. Instead, we were treated to his cursing under his breath. We needed to flag bus boys in order to get any attention. Just because a place has been around for a long time and has a kitschy factor doesn't make it good. L.A. , while not being a great restaurant town, does have some good spots. Taix is far from it. Won't ever return. Do yourself a favor and skip it. You can do much better just about anywhere.
Pros: live music in lounge, friendly valets, good bus boy
Cons: awful food , place smells musty , overrated decor
