Are Yu Kidding Me? - Yu Restaurant and Lounge

If it weren’t for the fact that the entire street, Montana Avenue, was deserted save for the half block radius around the restaurant, we would have driven right by Yu, which is in a space that used to be a Wolfgang Puck Cafe. It’s is dark on the outside, and there’s no sign. That seems [...]
