In Short
This brick building's cavernous dining space is divided into three rooms and an large, oval wooden bar serving a limited menu. Patrons include everyone from society ladies dripping with diamonds to gussied-up UCLA students. Regulars begin with guacamole, spiced to order and prepared tableside. Many guests stick with appetizers and desserts, but entrees include dishes like grilled spicy salmon and New York steak with Cognac-pepper sauce. For dessert, chocolate decadence cake and three cream Sundae with fresh fruit are standouts.

We went here for a post-graduation celebration and were a little disappointed. The setting is lovely but the menu was limited and not that special, especially not at those prices. Our waitress was friendly and attentive at first but must have gotten busy because we hardly saw her again after the food arrived. Certain items we ordered were good but most were just average. I wish we'd gone elsewhere for our special occasion.

Mother's Day brunch was very nice, we ordered a variety of dishes, including the Special. The crab cake was delicious with an unusual banana/kiwi salad. The eggs benedict dishes were cooked to perfection. All hot foods were piping hot and cold dishes were nicely chilled. Service was a bit slow, but it was super busy and crowded. As always seated quickly and were not rushed out - like some restaurants do on a holiday. Valet was great too.

This is a great place to dine for a romantic night out. It was easy to find and had valet right out front. We had no reservations, but were sat within 10 minutes and were even given a special seat on the rotunda, overlooking the lights upstairs! We were promptly asked if we wanted wine and even got it poured quickly. To top it off, and the true testament to the restaurant: we both enjoyed our dinner tremendously; I ordered the salmon and he ordered the shrimp and they were both cooked perfectly with a divine sauce. We thought it was so good, that we had to order dessert (eventhough we were both stuffed)...and we were really glad we did because it was a perfect finish to the right entrees. If we weren't already married this is where I'd want to be proposed to! We will definitely be going back again and recommending it to all our friends.
