Message: | Close to the 405 freeway in west Los Angeles are Cafe 50s, a diner on Santa Monica Boulevard just west of Barrington (decent hamburgers, shakes, etc.), Sawtelle Kitchen, a good restaurant specializing in Euro-Japanese fish on Sawtelle Boulevard between La Grange and Mississippi (take the Santa Monica exit from the 405, turn left at Santa Monica and left at Sawtelle after passing under the freeway; drive down Sawtelle about five blocks--the restaurant is on the left and not very easy to spot), scads of other places that don't leap to mind. |
