Asia de Cuba is one of my fav places to eat in Los Angeles.
Located in the funky Mondrian hotel it offers inside and outside dining.
The food is Cuban fusion and is outstanding.
Calamari salad is the signature starter and is a must. It is a big portion so can be shared.
Tuna pica is also excellent.
The view of LA is incredible .
The mojitos are very good as well. Especially the mango .
Salmon was great.
So was Cuban chicken.
The steak was so good that I forgot to photograph it before I started eating.
The wild decor almost has an Alice in Wonderland feel.
While this is not a cheap place it is definately worth a visit.

Fig and Olive in Melrose Place is the latest offshoot of the famous NewYork
eaterie.It is well worth checking out the neighborhood as Melrose Place is really happening at the moment.
Decor is very cool and the outside tasting bar looks like a fun place to hang out.
Food was excellent.
Tuna carpaccio was so good nearly forgot to take a photo.
Tuna and scallop salad was also great.
Veal wonderful
So was the Branzini.
Coffee great as well.

Chateau Marmont

Another must see in L.A.I don’t really get this place. Looks like my grandmothers front room and not really the friendliest of greeters.
The place does have some history though.
When we did get seated even though we were told we may be removed in an hour the surrounding were pleasant enough.
Had a great bottle of champagne which nearly took up the hour on our meter, but thankfully we finished before we were forcibly removed.
A lot of famous people have stayed here and some have actually ended their party here.
Not somewhere where I shall rush back but the guy getting us a cab was great.

The Spare Room at Roosevelt Hotel
by supershag on May.04, 2012, under Beer, Champagne, Cocktails, Happening, Los Angeles, Music, Parking/Valet, Restaurants, Swanky, Wine
The Spare Room is an exclusive small bar located within the fabled Hotel Roosevelt in West Hollywood.
This unique bar features 2 bowling lanes which actually seem to blend in with the very swanky decor.
The main feature of the bar are the cocktails.
This was the drink of choice Amoxycillin. Not for faint hearted.
Of course if cocktail are not your thing they do have Chimay.
This really is a very cool place with one of the coolest soundtracks that I have heard in a while. Reservations are needed after 9pm.
