Where to eat in LA

I would like to add that one place that no one seems to ever mention is in Pasadena, on Arroyo Parkway.  The Parkway Grill has been around for a long time and has excellent food and service.

It is one of the few places where venison is prepared as it should be.  I love the duck.

It isn't cheap, far from it, but in my opinion is worth every penny.

Have you been there recently? I was reading in the LA Times that it has a new chef. And the place got reviewed back in June 2005.

I haven't been recently, I think last in January last year, but have been many times over the past 20 years and several chefs have headed the kitchen during that time.

"There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

There is Grace on Beverly (the chef Neal is going to be on Iron Chef Jan 22) or Avenue in Manhattan Beach....also Blue 32 in Hermosa Beach has great food and is young and hip

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to say thanks for the recommendation for Avenue. I had a night free during my recent quick trip to LA, and wanted somewhere interesting/nice to eat near LAX. So of course, I searched the CA forum :smile:.

I reasoned that most places wouldn't have problems accomodating a single diner latish on a Sunday night, and I was right. I had a fantastic meal with a wine I'm going to have to track down here. The hot chocolate cake with toasted marshmallow spoon also has to be one of the best desserts I've had in a long time - rich and velvety and not too sweet so I could actually taste the chocolate. Great place that I hope I have a chance to experience again!
