Best Poke around, and it's also the closest. It's a 3-4 min walk, and delicious. I take it to go, and eat it on the Sky Lounge. Just lovely.

Laughing is medicinal. And, LA County (LBC) is a hub for entertainers. The quality of comedians isn't near as good as Laugh Factory (or other comedy clubs in Hollywood), but then again, not many are. For only being a 10 minute walkaway, it's a treat. The food is average/poor. But, it's less about dining than to have a real good laugh.
