Has anyone tried any good restaurants for the Dine LA thing? So far, I’ve gone to Violet in santa monica (their set menu was OKAY, but very filling. they’re french bread was delish. It’s tapas, but…californian style). I’ve gone to Cobra and Matadors (REALLY great Paella and no corkage fee!….But! i didn’t do the Dine LA thing, and they are on the list). I WILL be going to Ruth’s Chris (sp?) with my family this coming wednesday because my sister is a working woman now and is getting her FIRST pay check! woo hoo! congrats sister!
If anyone hasn’t heard of it…for 2 weeks, popular LA restaurants are providing set menus with some of their menu items to give a taste of what kind of food they serve at their restaurants for very reasonable prices. Set menus range from 25-35 dollars depending on what restaurant you’re going to.
Anyone tried anything SUPERB or heard of anything superb on the list? Just go to Dinela.com and peruse around and see if you see anything you like.
I wholeheartedly agree with my sister, joycieisasellout, that everything is a countdown…
like…4 more weeks (8 more days) until my internship is over…
3 months until i take my comprehensive exams…
3 1/2 months until school is over….FOR GOOD
4 1/2 months until i take my boards….I think i’ll just leave it at that for now. that’s enough for my brain to handle.
Have a great week everyone!
I love it when the underdogs win…

hang in there cousin!
the book’s all done and copied! i’m gonna return it unless you need it for some reason. i can’t wait for wednesday!!
2 days, 11 hours and 22 min until yummy, juicy steakkkkkk mmmmmmm.
4 days until the weekend!
Looking through the list of the participating restaurants makes me realize I know nothing about LA restaurants! I’ve been to only 3 or 4 of restaurants…nothing I’d really recommend though. If you like seafood and want a great view, I heard that The Lobster is good. Have fun!
try ford’s filling station! we went this wknd (not for dine-out) & we loved it. we’re going to chaya venice tonight (for dine-out), so i’ll let you know how that goes!
ruths chris is amazing. amazing!
rib eye. soooo good. mia had the stuffed chicken which she says was amazing as well. enjoy!
The filet mignon at Ruth’s Chris as quite good as well. As a side dish, the corn is very good. I LOVE ruth’s chris. It comes out all bubblingly buttery and hot. oooohhhh… soooo good!
Do you think those restaurants are offering set menus for 2 weeks because of V-Day? I know a lot of restaurants do that to make it easier for V-Day customers, so that the dates don’t have to worry about price and cost, but can eat their fill on a set #-course meal.
try roys or grace or patina
i went to One Sunset on friday night. food was really yummy and the place looked really cool. apparently they turn it into a club after some late hour. haha
i’m going to West Restaurant and Lounge on Friday. My friend went to Table 8 and she said it was alright but the venue is suppose to be romantic and pretty. You should try Roy’s…Janet, how are you? =)
