Great atmosphere and food.
Overall the food, service and atmosphere is wonderful. The ribeye was wonderful, but the LOBSTER MASHED POTATOES is what has left a lasting impression. I recommend this dish over all others (including the butter cake that EVERYONE seems to like). The price tag for the tatters is high, but worth it – trust me!
Dishes I tried:
ribeye chop "chef's cut"
Great cut and presentation. I wished that it was seasoned more (my opinion).

Great appetizer and dessert
OMG the cajun fries were to DIE FOR and that apple cobbler… I thought I died and went to heaven.
Dishes I tried:
Cajun Fries
These were the best fries EVER! They were served hot and crunchy (my favorite way) and the cajun seasoning wasn’t TOO MUCH!
Great, cheap appetizer.. too bad everyone at the table thought so. They ate them all :(
Apple Cobbler (thingy)
Good lord, they have cornered the market on this dessert. It’s not your average dessert.. it’s covered in a snickerdoodle crust (or something like it)…. and it’s HUGE! We were waiting for like 15 minutes for the dessert, and began to get impatient. Then the waiter brought it to the table with 6 spoons. YIKES. We couldn’t finish it… but we wanted too!

Great Local Bar
This is a great local bar across from the Del Amo mall, where you can find “happening” people every night of the week!
Dishes I tried:
MVP Platter
Large group platter. Good tater skins, chicken strips and mozarella sticks. STAY AWAY FROM THE MEATBALLS – dried out and hard.

Great pizza. Great Price.
New York pizza is right. I’m a born New York-an and I love this place. The crust, sauce, and toppings are great. Even the grease that drips off of the pizza as you fold and eat, is the best.
Dishes I tried:
pizza by the slice
any topping; choose from 10+

Off the Beatened Path
Great restaurant with great atmosphere.
Dishes I tried:
Ribeye
Dinner with hubby. Great food with dazzling desserts. The cotton candy is set on fire so that it glows (every night there’s a different flavor). Very nice decorations and…… They have separate rooms where couples can have their dinner experience filmed on a dvd. The experience included private waiter service while you dine on a bed in a separate, relaxed atmosphere.
Great date idea.
