Lakeview BistroI didn't expect to like it so much.The restaurant is in a hotel lobby near indoor fountains and pools of water -- but.... it is quiet, lovely and very pleasant. So if you're looking for a cozy bistro, look elsewhere. That said, the buffet at lunch (I'm not normally an all you can eat buffet person ever) was really, really great! It had lots of healthy, beautiful and delicious salads and soups as well as prime rib. The buffet did not look picked over at all in spite of our being there at the end of the lunch hour. No pasta in sight -- which I think is great. Just clean, lots of variety, fresh and heavy on the healthy, California veggies. I was expecting "so-so" and instead, I've already recommended the place and will return.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMThey had a special buffetThey had a special buffet menu for marathoners which was very reasonably priced and the food was very good. I would recommend this place for the "carb load" meal before the LA marathon.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AM
