"Excellent"

jasono's Rating

This place is typical LA-- pull into a strip mall parking lot right off Vine and right in between a laundromat and a fried chicken place is this little gem. Walk in the door and it is a totally well decorated and nice scene-- you'll forget your neighborhood immediately. Excellent wines by the glass (my wife loves the small taste glasses) and the food is outstanding. They have a small menu with simple dishes (kind of like Ino or Cafe Gitane in NYC) but all the food is excellent. The only bummer is that the few times we've gone a guy has been at one of the tables working on his laptop-- probably the owner. I've seen him disappear if it gets crowded, but while he's there it kind of gives a Starbucks vibe.
