Tucked into a charming downtown boutique hotel is this outstanding restaurant, a pleasantly sedate refuge from the hassles of city life. Bathed in muted tones and tastefully appointed, the dining room is filled with comfortable booths, elegantly dressed tables, abundant flowers and tasteful objets d'art.

Offering guests an American and French fare, this is a fine dining establishment. Expect the average entrée to cost over $30.

The kitchen turns out generous portions of California cuisine, with an emphasis on seafood and inventive sides. Starters include crumb-rolled crab cakes on a bed of citrus-grilled shiitake mushrooms, and rod-straight shrimp coated in light tempura batter. Crisp pan-seared chicken is drizzled with cilantro sauce and served atop a dense, Parmesan- and artichoke-seasoned pancake; slow-cooked osso... more

For a post-dinner constitutional or after-theater nightcap, take the elevator to the hotel's penthouse level, where there are comfy poolside lounge chairs and spectacular city views.

Discreetly located in the back of the boutique-style Grand Avenue Hilton, this clubby, candlelit warren hosts solo diners, canoodling couples and business executives. Thick-striped pink and yellow walls, colorful floral arrangements and fine Chinese screens offer subtle elegance and privacy. Well-groomed sports fans take seats at the adjacent bar, to watch the game and dine in style. The... more

In this city of flash and fads, Checkers Restaurant stands out as a classic, an oasis of calm civility with exquisite food to match. A redesign has given the room a more contemporary look without sacrificing its elegant aura. At lunch, it's a preferred destination for downtown executives. In the evening, when the lights dim just enough to suggest romance, couples outnumber businessmen.... more

Our dinner was the prix fixe dineLa dinner. Three courses for $34. My Caesar Salad was good and my wild salmon with a butter sauce on the side was excellent. The beef tenderloin had a fantastic wine reduction sauce. The third course was a flourless chocolate cake with a scoop of ice cream in the middle. It was very good. In all fairness the martinis were a little weak. Service was... more

We arrived at Checkers at 6 pm and expected to get out for 8 pm at the Music Center, and we were assured that would be no problem. Well there was a problem. After drinks we waited 45 minutes for someone to take our order! Not impressive. The food however was impressive, the salads crunchy and full of delicious surprises. The ahi tuna with avocado and tomatoes was perfect with just enough... more

Hotel did not honor "guaranteed" reservations

I recommended this Hotel to an out-of-town friend who was treating her Mother to a trip to LA for her 80th birthday. When my friend made her reservation, she advised the Hotel she would be arriving late on Friday night. The Hotel told her she could "guarantee" a late arrival by use of her credit card which my friend did do. When she arrived there, she was told the Hotel was "oversold" and... more
