Veggie Grill
8000 Sunset BlvdGreat vegetarian restaurant close by.
Great old building converted to a restaurant with live music, great food and a fun bar. They only do three seatings a night so if you don't want to sit at the bar you'll want to call ahead. They're also closed Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
The Cornell Winery next door is really special too...especially if you have to wait (plus, you can take your wine back to the restaurant with you).
