1200 Getty Center Dr,
Los Angeles, CA 90049
Pleasant, straightforward, bit pricy. Food and service are above average. I’m expecting a killer view but disappointed by the balcony wall – see through fiber glass (?) might serve better? They’ve out door seating but isn’t open. Oh well.
We’ve carrot cumin hummus, paella, chicken and scallops – the seafood cooked just right, juicy and tender. Fake cactus on the table. Why bother?
Parking at the museum is $15.

550 Deep Valley Dr Ste 145,
Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274-3696
Friday 6:30 pm, many noisy kids. Stems are set on each table. A little odd combo. I’ve seen kids (well behaved) in a wine bar but not this many and this rambunctious.
Food and service are good. Clean bathroom.

The traffic from Getty museum almost ruined our little plan. We get there at the neck of time, 10 minutes before the sun set.

Self-serving. Free parking. One bathroom. Indoor and outdoor seating. Delicious food.
Fresh orange juice doesn’t look fresh and I asked.
”Used to be.” One waiting girl replied.
”Oh. Shouldn’t you take the “fresh” down?” I asked.
”It’s not up to us.”
Oh well.

13772 Jamboree Rd
Irvine, CA 92602
Buffet, $30 lunch $50 dinner, desserts are additional. It’s pretty full for a Wednesday night.
Good service (our server talks very fast, like speeding on the autobahn. What’s the rush? Ha ha ha.) Food are ok: the salad bar and soups are ok. The meats are mostly tasteless – maybe they want to showcase the taste of the meat? The lamb chop, filet mignon are tender but could use some salt.
Decor is bit loud; what the wood is doing there? High end it’s not. I’d a glass of Conundrum red, which is so so.

A hectic 3-night trip to California, and taking the red-eye flight home. Nothing was according to the plan.
Car rental: I haven’t been renting myself for a long long time and surprised to find there are many choices to choose from the same class of cars. I’ve medium and there is a huge tri-row seating suv, OMG. How does it qualify as a medium is beyond me. The attendant encourages me to drive that monster and I did get in but don’t know how to adjust the seat, therefore, chickens out, and pick another car, which is more of my size -:).

Sunny, sunny and sunny.
