Here's where I am going to tell you about quality
restaurants that offer value for your formal dining, and casual dining, and family dining dollar. Heck, I'm also going
to tell you about good places to eat too. While I enjoy a fine restaurant, I also want value for my money and I don't
want to cringe when the check comes. I'll pay more when the atmosphere and the service and the taste and quality are
worth paying more, and I hope you'll agree with the restaurant suggestions -- formal and casual and on-the-go -- that I present
here.
LOUISE'S TRATTORIA
It just makes perfect sense that the first restaurant I feature
here is Louise's Trattoria, the well known and popular chain of family-friendly and modestly priced Italian restaurants in
the Los Angeles area. Louise's Trattoria, casually called "Louise's," has seven locations including restaurants
in Santa Monica, Brentwood, West Los Angeles, Hancock Park, Hollywood, Studio City and Old Town Pasadena -- and I've enjoyed
lunch or dinner in all of them. The first Louise's I had lunch at was the one near the old Channel 9 studios, when KCAL
was on the Paramount Studios Lot on Melrose Avenue. What impressed me about that Louise's was the consistency and the
value -- and that has been the same at all of the other locations. My wife and I frequently have dinner at the West
Los Angeles Louise's on Pico Boulevard. And every time we get the delicious quality we've come to expect and always
enjoy the wonderful, friendly service... and the bread... which is the secret that keeps the regulars coming back again and again. Louises recently changed its menu to offer
lower prices and you can't argue with lower prices -- but the quality hasn't changed and frankly the portions are still plentiful
and we have a "doggie bag" to bring home every time, and we don't have a dog. Call Louise's Trattoria at (877)
LOUISES or go to www.Louises.com for address, their menu, and information about catering, parties, and their formula for success. Watch the video below.
