Restaurants near Wilshire Orange Hotel

We enjoy going to Lawry’s on Christmas Eve to enjoy the festive decorations, the caroling and the great prime rib. This time there was also an extensive menu for those who don’t eat prime rib. A wonderful time was had by all.

Dinner before the show. The weekly routine. Always finding new stuff on the menu at Fanny’s. The cheese board is my new favorite thing. Three cheeses and warm toast, honey and other goodies. Tonight I ordered a side of salmon and it was delicious. We the the s’mores for dessert and it was a lot of fun and yummy. Their desserts are elaborate and beautiful in presentation and taste great!

What a great restaurant! Service was outstanding, properly staffed and knowledgeable (not just selling the most expensive thing on the menu). Food was excellent. Pork belly didn’t skimp on the caviar, duck was cooked to perfection and the side veggies were plentiful for a table of 4. Dined on a Tuesday in December. A lot of Christmas dinner activity and noise. I was still able to have a nice conversation and had to speak up once or twice. Go with the expectation to spend more than usual and you will not be disappointed.

One of the best culinary values in town, Meyers Manx Cafe in the Peterson Museum offers both incredible tasting food and a diverse menu at great prices. I LOVE the breakfast burrito here. The runny egg and crispy potatoes are what makes this burrito unique and delicious. I also love the chopped Italian and pizza here. Our waiter told us they use a Japanese tapioca flour that produces a New York-styled thin crust taste along with a crispy chewy texture. Incredible!

Wonderful salads, & the staff is nice & most accommodating. I’ve been eating here a long time—glad the pizzas are back! xo
