I second that! However, Cafe Sierra can get crowded at dinner time.
 
Ca del Sole (on Lankershim?) just down the steet from the Metro, has good Italian, great ambience.
 
Miceli's Valley branch is also nearby. The food is very mediocre, but it's a fun atmosphere--singing waiters, checked table clothes, etc.
 
If you drive down Ventura Blvd, there are plenty of great places to try out. You could even go west on it for miles and have your parents choose any restaurant. About 5 min away from the hotel is the intersection of Laurel Cyn & Ventura. At one corner is LaLa's for Argentian food (skirt steak is good here), and Emmanuel's American Bistro (wonderful desserts, but reservations needed). Another corner has the standard chain fare (Gaucho Grill, Louise's, Daily Grill). The third corner has Outtake Cafe (my fav in the Valley, though it gets crowded) and Mexicali (hip Mexican).
