Old school high end neighborhood favorite is Joe's. I like Fig in Santa Monica (in the Fairmont Hotel at Wilshire and Ocean) better than any of those for the food, but Abbot Kinney is more trendy right now. I'll get back to you on Century City stuff, but most of it is (high end) chains. Craft, Gulfstream, Houston's, etc. Beverly Hills is another (taxi) option. Lots of steakhouses, the best of which is Maestro's, and other options. |
When did Houston's go from the Bennigan's of the Gulf Coast to high-end?
