Checkers DowntownHas to be the best in townExcellent food and service. Fair prices. Good wine list. Robinns was the only restaurant I ate at Cambria, but it should be the best.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time there. Had a lunchFirst time there.

Everyone enjoyed her meal.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMPre theatre dining downtownWent here for dinner before a show at the Ahmanson. They have a complimentary car service (not passenger van) to the theatre. They have a 4 course fixed priced dinner for around 50 bucks. Totally good deal. Portions are generous and the food is good. The restaurant was fairly quiet with only a couple of tables. Room is nicely appointed and chairs are comfortable. Note: they add valet parking on to the restaurant bill but don't really tell you. Still it was a nice meal and I would return to eat here.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMBest it's been since ThomasBest it's been since Thomas Keller was the chef.
