The Hotel Wilshire: Check out the Roof for Brunch! We love the bottomless mimosas!
Tony Xerri: The rooms were clean, chic, and had HBO with an HDMI output for all you traveling with an XBox or PS3. Service was flawless and guests also get free access to the L.A. Fitness at Fairfax and Ogden.

Dianna K: Came for weekday brunch. The maple syrup w the chicken and waffles had a kick to it that really took it to the next level. perfect portion size AND they have bloody marys. Will be back for dinner
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." ;-)

Elizabeth: Fried chicken is amazing!! The cocktails are delicious, crafty and refreshing.
Eater: With a new full bar and revamped California-style menu, the tastefully designed eatery is perfectly poised for drinks with friends at the bar up front or a quiet date in one of the back booths.

Bruce Duncan: Great outdoor atmosphere, and a great menu. Try the "Cali Burger"
LA Weekly: Host to mixology classes, the lounge claims to make the best drinks you've ever tasted. Try a Casa Mia or a Breakfast Martini, & don't be afraid to ask questions! Try the lobster & crab cakes too! Read more.
Alex Munse: Don't come here with Caroline O. She'll spend the whole time on her phone, talking about the House Martini with No. 3 gin!

Bloomingdale's: A slam-fest for just about all the senses, from the surreal décor by Philippe Starck to the equally surreal, small-plate sensations by a molecular gastronomy master. Don’t ask – just eat.
