Spanish Restaurant · Mid-City West · 24 tips and reviews
Pocket Sun: European style brunch table is the best! $42 per person but it's worth it. Great salmon, oysters, shrimps, caviar and prime rib. Pastries are not as good as I thought though.
gina mom: Brunch buffet here is pretty amazing. Beautiful set up all around, exquisite meats like prime rib & exotic touches like caviar & that gazpacho- totes recommended! Esp if you get a private dining room.
G$: Sit by one of the fireplaces, it's more private!
Arnaud Réauté: Amazing mix of true corsica, French and Italian cuisine with strong antipasti for starters. Everything is good.
Bo Liebman: Great appetizers. Really enjoyed the veal meatballs. Floating island was okay
Daniel Hollister: Truly authentic Corsican. Antipasti was 12 [great] dishes. Unbeatable atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Go, now!

Dive Bar · Mid-City West · 18 tips and reviews
Los Angeles Times: Open from 10 a.m. every day, the Kibitz Room is a great place for a morning brew and a big bowl of matzo ball soup (ask for two spoons to make the meal romantic and cheap). Read more.
Where Los Angeles Magazine: 80-year-old Canter’s Deli, the Kibitz Room—the divey-est, strangest little club and bar in town. It has a history with rock ‘n’ roll royalty: The Doors & Frank Zappa kibbitzed and jammed here. Read more.
Hesh Meister: Tuesday night jams with the FOCKRs. You might even catch me sitting in on the Hammond organ from time to time.

Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurant · Mid-City West · 92 tips and reviews
Keegan Sims: Might be the best vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Los Angeles. Crab cakes, oysters and milanese are excellent. So is the service.
Eater: The tortelloni here is all plant-based, which means no egg. Still satisfying for diners looking for a delicious vegan pasta. Filled with almond cheese and laced with oven-dried tomatoes. Read more.
Gianni Love: Another gourmet vegan restaurant/bar w/ all of the pretentiousness of LA. The food was not impressive at all, especially for all the hype this chef gets. And extra emphasis on "gourmet." ;-)

noseph: If you want a ridiculously amazing dinner, take the chef's suggestions and order all the signature dishes - it will succeed in blowing your mind!! Best Ramen I've had to date!
Leslie Monchin: Melt in yo mouth. Chicken and oysters, tsukune, pork chashu, shrimp toast were all delish. Order the ramen half-size! Black ramen ftw

Laurizzle: The Coyote Street Tacos are a definite must. Three soft tacos topped with chopped onion and cilantro served with two sides of salsas. Plus they have Hoegaarden on draft!
HISTORY: Sharon Tate, eight months pregnant, and a group of friends came here for a quick meal at 10 p.m. on Aug. 8, 1969. It would be her final meal. She would later be murdered by followers of Charles Manson
Michaela Silinger: The famous Sharon Tate booth...

Lanell: Love the seasonal menu and large cocktail selection!
Karri Northrop: Rose wishes cocktail is the jam! Don't wait for a table, grab a seat in the bar area :)
