Dressy Dining

You’ve heard this before--a friend tells you about some out-of-the-way dive that’s not much to look at but has great food. So you go there and, sure enough, it’s a storefront restaurant with an admittedly clever menu but with prices that seem a bit too high given that you’re sitting on a wobbly chair and looking at framed poster art. Casual dining is fine but . . . at not-so-casual prices? Why not get some glamour for your dining buck? Dress up a bit and make reservations for a restaurant in an elegant hotel. Calendar Live! picks 20 top hotel dining rooms in the Southland where the atmosphere and food are worth the price.

Upcoming Concerts
