I am at Cafe Bizou more than any restaurant in LA. It's blocks from where I live and a few miles from where I work so it's perfect for friends and dates alike. Highly recommend their specials - the Lobster Linguini is done to perfection. Roasted Chicken and Pork tenderloin always consistantly good. If you haven't - you absolutely have to.
Pros: Great food, great patio
Cons: Can get REALLY busy
