Largo
432 Fairfax
Los Angeles, CA
Cross Street: Oakwood
Oh, beloved Largo - what a mixed bag you are. The tables are smashed side by side, the chairs are pretty damn uncomfortable, and the food - well, you’re lucky if it’s warm, isn’t leathery, and is actually what you ordered. Over the years, the less than stellar menu has [...]

I’ve been meaning to write up Angeli for quite some time, and I figure it’s only appropriate that I finally do after my Valentine’s dinner there, since this is more of a love letter than a review.
I’m going to disclose from the beginning that Angeli is my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles, if not the [...]

Pizzeria Mozza is a new kid in town, a collaboration between Italian superstar chef Mario Batali and local baking hero Nancy Silverton. Located on the corner of Melrose and Highland, Pizzeria Mozza is one part of a restaurant complex that sometime next year will also house a more upscale sibling called Osteria Mozza. A peek [...]

Nyala
1076 S. Fairfax
Los Angeles, CA

There’s a stretch of Los Angeles’ Fairfax Avenue, just south of Olympic, called Little Ethiopia.

We shimmied our butts on down to an oft-thought-of [...]

Jar
8225 Beverly Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA
9.23.06 - Saturday, 8:30 PM
Myself + 1 guest (Internet date, Mr. Smooth)

Time number three at Beverly Blvd.’s Jar trumped the other experiences by a landslide, and that’s sayin’ something; this little honey was already in my favorites list, so I’m all kinds of smitten now. Jar is a gem.
I love [...]

When we go to the Farmer’s Market at Third and Fairfax, I have a rotation of three regular stops. It is either Loteria, Pampa or Moishe’s.
Moishe’s serves middle eastern cuisine — kabobs, falafel, and shwarma, hummous, baba ghanouj, taboule, food along those lines. My absolute favorite, though, are the grilled chicken wings. Ten wings [...]

I wonder if adding Wi-Fi to your restaurant adds to your business?

I recently noted the new sign up at the Rita Flora on La Brea and 6th trumpeting the addition of free Wi-Fi.
I asked my food server, Joanna, how long the Wi-Fi had been in place and how well it had been working? She [...]
