    One of my all-time favorite dive bars in K Town! I have met the most amazing people... This is where people keep it real real drinks. Real food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean and fostering environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I absolutely love this place. I have met lifelong connections here and I highly suggest that if you want a dive bar that keeps it real 100% this is the spot!!! drinks are amazing. The company is amazing. Bartenders are awesome. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Cheesecake was $6 amazing [[HIGHLIGHT]]Family oriented spot. Even tho it's a bar. This is a chill place where all the residents in the building above come to eat and chill. You will see family and kids too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Price is super affordable Service is meh so so. I had to ask for menu and water couple times. But they are friendly. Just have to remind them. Parking is free with validation around the corner

    Visited this place the other night because locals said it was a good spot for affordable food and drinks. The food was ok but what I didn't like was the service. We were sat immediately after walking in, but no one came to take our order. I had to call the server over. Kinda felt like they didn't want us there. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibes were definitely off which sucks because it was a nice lowkey spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Though affordable, I don't think I'll be back :(

    Tucked into the Gaylord apartments this neighborhood gem should be on every LA visitor's list for this section of Wilshire Boulevard. Hard to tell if it's open as its windows aren't really open to the outdoors. The menu is inexpensive and the food very good. We had Old Fashioneds which were on the Saturday Happy Hour for $7.50, calamari (light and crisp), and fish and chips which were served piping hot! When malt vinegar is laid out on the table then expectations run high and are met! Friendly efficient staff of pleasant women. Bathrooms in the attached Gaylord Apartments. A step back in time good for anytime!

    Had the steak and lobster. So good! Drinks are a deal and service is always excellent. Can't go wrong here.

    Come here for the bend-over-backwards super nice waitstaff. They are so friendly and warm. I didn't think much of the facade but once the host outside chatted me up, I was convinced. Their menu boasts of steaks that are priced so inexpensively. Check out my meal - steak and eggs for $16.99! And the portions weren't tiny, mind you. I was completely satisfied. Alongside the steak and eggs were some hash browns and they give you bread with a huge serving of strawberry jam and butter. I now understand why this is one of K Town's best kept secrets. This is one of the few restaurants left that give you so much value because they refuse to gouge their customers and label it "inflation" - this is why they have so many regulars. I intend to join that roster. Go and pay them a visit. You'll appreciate the food but it's the staff that'll keep you coming back. They are total sweethearts who really want nothing more than to serve you and make you happy.

    Porterhouse steak

    Went on a date to LACMA and wanted a nostalgic spot for a meal. The HMS Bounty had been on our radar ever since spying it on the I.G. Easy parking in the Brown Derby building's parking lot next door. They even validate for a reduced fee of $5. On arrival it's connected to once famous Gaylord Hotel, now apartments. Pushing through the saloon style doors we walked into campy dark naugahyde filled bar and restaurant from days long gone past. Port holes and paintings of tall sailing ships from the majestic age of high seas discovery and conquest. It had that familiar smell of any really old place that we likely ate dinner years before with our grandparents. Our server was warm and friendly and came quickly to see how we were doing and did we know what we wanted... as many seem to be regulars. We said first timers and her face lite up and said, "you're going to like it!" The meal prices were very reasonable and they had many specials. My new GF had lobster and fillet and I had the porterhouse meal. She chose the house salad with real blue cheese and I tried the French onion soup. Everything was really great.. clearly not Steak 48 but wonderful nonetheless. She had a delicious Mai tai made from scratch... giving a run for the money with Tiki Ti. Fresh, tasty and light with no syrupy flavoring. It reminded herself of her last trip to Kauai. This place is a great place to meet up for some serious drinking... however those days are long past for me. We sat in the back for a photo op in the once coveted booth of Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. All in all we loved this time capsule and will be back with friends.

    Fettucini Alfredo. Pretty darn good

    You don't "necessarily" come here or the food (although it's pretty good). It's about ambiance, and getting in on a little "Old" Los Angeles while it's still here. I do like that they have a couple of monitors at the bar for viewing sports, but still maintains that old skool dive bar feel. I did have some fettucini alfredo today, and it was pretty darn good. Garlic bread (garlickly and buttery) was decadent and savory. I enjoy popping in now and again.

    Finally checked out HMS after waiting long enough. Of course I had heard about the establishment, and I also live right down the block. After I noticed that it was added as one of the best restaurants in the city, I had to stop by. Overall, I'd say it's well worth it. The place has an old swanky vibe to it, with great servers and a good amount of seating. I noticed that it's usually pretty crowded whenever I step in; there always seems to be a lot of tables taken. The steak was flavorful and was less $30. Drinks were super affordable too. This is definitely a spot worth checking out

    Sad to see the Bounty going downhill. Stepped in for a bite because I hadn't been here in awhile. I probably first started going to the Bounty back in 1995 maybe. Maybe the food was always bad. I was mainly there just drinking and my 20s. But I don't remember being that bad. Tonight I ordered a Moscow mule. The ginger beer was completely flat and for some reason it was completely overpowered by basil in the drink. We had them bring some bread and butter to the table and the bread was stale . I ordered a shrimp cocktail and while the shrimp was very clean, it was also obviously frozen because it was so watery and not good at all. Didn't even finish it. Also, how they managed this I have no idea, but the crackers that they served with it. The plain generic crackers that come in the plastic wrappers were actually stale. The petite filet mignon came out and was barely recognizable as a filet mignon. No sear on it at all, and I had to ask for them to bring me some A1 sauce so I could completely mask this unseasoned piece of meat. And then again, somehow the baked potato was dry! I can't even explain that one. I know you're thinking it's a big potato of courses dry but this was different. My friend ordered the Seabass and it also was not seasoned and just soaked in butter. She took a couple of bites and just stopped eating it.
