My favorite restaurant in LA for all things Los Angeles - steaks, scene, vibe, music, ambience, people, you name it. Tip to enjoy a good deal here is to order one Bone in Rib-Eye 22 Oz and split it between 2 people. Best sides are Mac n Cheese (can order also side of sliced Jalapeno's if you want it spicy) and Creamed Spinach.
All that for only $80 for my fav LA iconic restaurant located in Beverly Hills!
Reservations are a must from Thurs to Sunday. When reserving you should tell them which floor you would like to dine in:
1st Floor - Quiet, traditional dark steakhouse vibe
2nd Floor - Live music - Cover Pianist/Singer, romantic vibe
3rd Floor - Live DJ playing dance/contemporary

Most ridiculous and absurd presentation of food in the world hands down. Though not unique to LA since they have a location in other cities, it will def be a unique food experience. Warning though food is pricey and not that appetizing.

Home style breakfast open 24 hours. Lines are uber long in mornings but the secret if you're a party of 2 to 3 is to just eat at the counter which is first come first serve and can bypass the line.
