Bread & Porridge
I actually have something I like for each meal -- the breakfasts are really good -- the serving sizes are resonable -- not overly gigantic like some places, but just right. The salads are very good -- everythng seems really fresh. The price is right!

Dar Maghreb Restaurant
this is fun and different -- sit on pillows in an indian palace -- with belly dancers!! - They pour the yummy mint tea from high about the table! There is basically a preset dinner experience -- I thought everything was really good and it was fun to try all the different dishes -- you eat with your hands! Great place for a birthday --

California Vegan
the menu is pretty extensive -- but the food is a bit inconsistent -- sometimes it is really good and other times it has been so so -- I recommend asking the waiter what they recommend that day -- the salads are pretty consistenly good.

California Fresh
the food is consistently good and "fresh tasting" here -- the salads are made fresh and the chicken pesto panini is really good! Gets crowded around lunch time -- but they are pretty fast.

La Serenata Gourmet
The original Le Serenata de Giaribaldi in downtown Los Angeles is the most amazing restaurant -- unbelievable food -- this restaurant is run by the same family but it is more of a cafe than a restaurant and I miss some of the amazing dishes from the original -- but the food is still quite good here -- upscale mexican -- the owner has been written up in Bon Appetit and is considered a "genius in the kitchen"

Shack
this place is pretty good -- not great -- basic burger -- fun atmosphere -- prices resonable -- your basic burger joint! Stick to the burgers - the chicken was a little dry -- salads are just okay.
