Thai in LA

Location: Glendale (on Brand Blvd. near California).
Type of food: Umm....do I really have to say?

The food is okay. Last time we went the beef was so tough we opted to pick it out. It was like eating beef jerky for dinner. I don't think we'll ever go back here. Price range: $7-12. Rating: 2 loaves

Twin Palms

Location: Old Town Pasadena.
Type of food: Assorted.

This place is really great! The ambiance is wonderful. It's elegant dining under a canopy with live jazz. There's no hype, but there's no need for hype. The service, the food, the restaurant atmosphere all speak for themselves. It makes for a special dining experience. They have family dinner nights, brunch, and catering too. Price range: $10-20. Rating: 5 loaves.

Union


Location: Santa Monica (on 5th Avenue).
Type of food: Assorted

A really nice place to eat. On the fancier side of dining, but great food. Great ambience. Live music on Fridays. Price range: $15-30. Rating: 4.5 loaves

Versailles

Location: West L.A. (2 locations), Manhattan Beach.
Type of food: Cuban

The food is great and prices are reasonable. I can't just pick out one dish that stands out. Everything is great! We've only been to the one on Venice Blvd. But, I'm sure the others are great. Price range: $10-20. Rating: 4.5 loaves

Waikiki Willie's

Location: Marina del Rey.
Type of food: Assorted Western.

An interesting place. Quite loud....not where you'd go for a serious, deep conversation with anyone. Food? Well, honestly, nothing that left an impression in my mind....really....I don't remember what I had there. Price range: $10-20. Rating: 2.5 loaves

Woodranch BBQ

Location: The Grove (next to Farmer's Market on 3rd and Fairfax). Type of food: Steak, BBQ

Good food and good service. What can I say? If you ever want some steak or BBQ stuff, this would be a good place to consider. Price range: $15-30. Rating: 4 loaves.

World Cafe

Location: Santa Monica (on Main Street). Type of food: Assorted popular (if there is such a category as that.... something I just came up with)

Really neat place, nice outdoor seating area as well. Food is pretty good. Parking is a little difficult; street parking and a little walking will be your best bet. Price Range: $10-20. Rating: 4 loaves.

Yankee Doodles

Location: Santa Monica - on the Third Street Promenade. Type of food: Assorted American

Really loud. Great place to watch major sporting events on big screen TV, or many TVs. You can also play a game of pool or two, or should I say....billiards. :) Food is alright; service is okay. Don't go here if you want to be able to converse in a normal way (i.e. if you're not used to yelling over the noise). Price Range: $10-20. Rating: 2.5 loaves.
