I think Restaurant 2117 is by far the class of the field. I've been eating there for years and have yet to be disappointed. Chef Hideo has a deft touch with fish, the regular menu items are quite good, and the specials are always worth trying. The food is wine friendly, and with a nominal $5/bottle corkage charge, we typically dredge up some older Burgundies from our personal collections to enjoy there. It's often fun to present the wines to the chef, request dinner to compliment them, and then sit back and wait to be surprised.
 
Sawtelle Kitchen is also a long time standby, although my visits have tailed off in the past couple of years. Solid, but not spectacular, it's cozy and enjoyable. With what passes for cold weather here now approaching, the (very tender) slow cooked lamb shank w/demi glace is worth trying. Bring a big hearty red wine to accompany it - they have no alcohol license and therefore corkage is free.
