The 38 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"The 30-year-old Jones still has it — an incredible space with the dark feel of a red-sauce Italian restaurant and bar, but way cooler. Though it’s possible to snag a table for cocktails or dinner, Jones hit a major snag in 2023 when an accident took out the restaurant’s eastern corner entrance. Jones was closed for three months for repairs and the cafe remains closed, but as a testament to its beloved status in West Hollywood, the community rallied around the restaurant and it reopened in February. Jones remains as popular as it was back in the early ’90s for its throwback menu of thin-crust pizza, linguine with clams, or a dry-aged New York steak. Down the meal with a glass of Sangiovese, a strong classic cocktail, or an Amstel Light. The apple pie served by the slice on a sizzling platter a la mode is still as good as ever. As a bonus for all of Los Angeles, the kitchen closes at 1 a.m. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Best for: A throwback date night that’s a great excuse to put on a vintage suit or dress." - Mona Holmes
