Business Description from the Web

Tucked away beneath the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, the street-level Kendall’s Brasserie is the perfect place to grab a pre-show meal -- or a post-concert drink. With high ceilings, mosaic floors and classical murals on the walls, Kendall’s looks like it would be more at home on a side street in Paris’ theater district than Bunker Hill. Fittingly, the predominantly theater-bound crowd arrives... more

You will feel as if you've traveled back in time to Old Italy. Tanino Drago grew up in a small town in Sicily. His father made the family's wine, cheese and olive oil. His mother made the fresh pasta and bread. Tanino it seems was destined to master the art of fine Italian cuisine. He worked at his uncle's trattoria and studied at the Giarre Culinary School. It all comes together beautifully at... more

Otto`s Grill And Bar is a New York styled continental bistro tucked into the entry level of the Music Center which incorporates the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. Music Center attendees gather here in profuse mobs before big shows otherwise it is consistently busy but generally not packed out. Otto Rothchild`s black & white photography circa 1930 to 1970 hover above the first class mahogany... more

Avoid Hope Street traffic and use the County Mall garage on Hill Street, one block east of the main entrance. Drive through an underground tunnel to the $8 Music Center garage.

Indulge in a seafood feast for two: The Plateau Royale is a heaping platter of shellfish for $99.

Editorial Reviews from the web

Music Center brasserie offers upscale ambience and French fare--without the attitude.

In Short The Patina Group's (Pinot Hollywood, Zucca) addition to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion is a Continental-style restaurant which caters to theatergoers and businesspeople. Mahogany walls, white table-clothed banquettes and overstuffed chairs give the informal eatery an exclusive feel. Dining areas include a lively raw bar and crimson-tinted lounge with marble tables. The central... more

I'll admit this right off the bat...my wife demanded that I publish this review.
It was our anniversary and we were attending a dynamite play at the Ahmanson and we always eat French on our anniversary. Boy were we stoked!
We had arrived ten minutes early for our reservation and were seated quickly. Nice place, and were given a large romantic table so we sat side by side with a view of the... more

One of the nice things about downtown L.A. are the smattering of upscale hotel and theatre bars and restaurants. It was out first time to Kendall's, but we ordered the usual temptations: foie gras and lamb and oysters. The French 75s (made the correct way--with gin) were on ice and huge!

I am not surprised by the bad reviews for Kendall's. I had an amalgam of the experiences of the other (bad) reviewers - food is ok but nothing special and overpriced, kitchen is agonizingly slow, staff is not particularly helpful, and any problem is always caused by someone else.

This is a restaurant which is IN the Music Center. They should be aware that their location makes them a prime... more
