Stephanie D: So much history in this place. Look at all of the cool photos on the wall! Neat phone booth area in the front of the second room too. And those huge, delicious sandwiches... omg.
Eater: The quintessential L.A. late night hang, the eighties are alive here, with vintage ceiling and leather booths galore. The pastrami is pretty solid while the breakfast items are always good choices. Read more.

Seafood Restaurant · Mid-City West · 162 tips and reviews
olivier PEYRE: If you only have one meal in LA, make it Son of a Gun. Go on the later side, ask for a booth, and try all the seafood dishes - especially the Leche de Tigre. Don't forget to make a reservation.
Andrew S: Lobster Roll and Mussels are my top 2. Probably the best mussels in all of LA.
Mark Hoppus: Everything we ordered was delicious, but we REALLY loved the albacore!
Kelly Burton: Amazing happy hour! All beers ( tap and bottled )just $3.00! Truffle popcorn to chicken masala, to lamb burger, to blueberry lemon drops !Great service with a alternative bar/lounge with plush booths
Giesse Lai: This is an obvious statement: the epic lamb burger is definitely epic! Get it with the whisper fries sauces and douse a bite in truffle goodness.
Lily Steiner: Waiting for Michael Bolton.

Jennifer: Great lighting, fantastic chandeliers, and good sightlines makes this my favorite LA venue.
Bravo: Mid-sized concert venue that has the best of the new music coming through. Get tickets when you can. Don’t worry who is playing, it will be great. -Mark Peel, Top Chef

Privy.net: "The wood paneling enhances the ambiance no end, but it’s the wonderfully comfy leather booths that give the place the edge. Flat screen TVs. It’s a sporty and hip environment for a young crowd. Read more.
Molly Bendell: Sit on the porch. Best for sharing appetizers (crab legs, ribs, calamari...). Gets a little rowdy and louder as the night progresses.
Dory Benami: Just became the MAYOR and got a free burger. Life is good.

Tee Golihew: Sit in the bar at a booth if you are a party of two maybe three instead of main dining room, ask if Amanda's working. Try the rotari by the glass, it's a nice time
Alissa Katz: Come hungry the portions are huge! Great food! ! Yummo
Damien Navarro: Can't beat the new deal. Order a pasta dish and get another one compliments of the house to go for later enjoyment. I chose mom's lasagna
