Hollywood Restaurants?
Hey all. I'm meeting my parent's in the Hollywood area for dinner tomorrow night and I need some restaurant recommendations. I'd like to keep it somewhat moderately priced, like <$20 an entree. No real constraints on the cuisine.
Thanks for the help!

This is one of my very favorites: https://www.yelp.com/biz/luna-park-lo...g4A/query:luna
It's more West LAish but very near Hollywood. Another option would be: https://thedeliciouslife.blogspot.com...eno-mac-n.html
I've tasted the mac & cheese with jalapenos...to die for.

How about Cha Cha Cha? I like the Silveralke location but the parking is pretty much valet only from what I remember.

Are you looking for food or atmosphere?
The Alcove on Hillhurst near Franklin (Silverlake/Los Feliz vic) has both....with a large heated patio out front.

OH YEAH!!! Their Ruebens are awesome. And the pastries there are to die for as well. They have the most amazing chocolate chip cheesecake.

Regardless of whether Canter makes good Ruebens or not, this guy wants to take his parents out to dinner. Canters is NOT the place to take them, unless for novelty. Well, that or unless his parents just happen to LOVE deli food.

I am with you John, Reubens are great. And Art's (where every sandwich is a work of Art) makes a mighty fine one.

Near UCLA are you? How about right there in Westwood? Palomino's. Then on Montana Avenue past Brentwood near Whole Foods, there's some smaller trendy restaurants. For average Cantonese, try Hop Li on Pico near Veteran. For Japanese, there's Sawtell Blvd, past Santa Monica Blvd. I like going to Farmer's Market up Fairfax near the CBS television studios. Its outside eating which may be a bit of an issue. But the food is good and great value for a UCLA student budget. If don't mind eating with your hands (no utinsels), there's Ethiopian restaurants in Little Ethiopia on Fairfax.

Yup. There are some wonderful restaurants there...variety of many different cuisines...and you can walk to a movie or to the Grove before or after. Canters is nowhere that is interesting (in terms of walking), has florescent lighting and the food is deli food. I’m not knocking it for novelty or fun, but I’d suggest this UCLA student (I’m assuming) go to Canters on a night out with his buddies where he ends up there at 3am. That’s when the Ruebens taste the best and the crowd is the most interesting. Going there with his parents is okay but it’s not the best – unless, again, they LOVE deli food.

Did you ever try Mr. Marcel Pain Vin Et Fromage or Ulysses Voyage? There are so many restaurants there. Unless you've tried all of them, how can you state it overrated?

I'll retract it for you then... and say for the 2 years I lived there, I was disappointed every time I ate there -- except for Marcel. But Marcel isn't cheap, and at their price range, I had other preferences. Most days, I would end up at places nearby (Mani's, Doughboys, Toast, Buddha's Belly).
