Where To Have Dinner When Your Family Visits LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Say your older cousin and his girlfriend are coming in from a land-locked state. They want to see the ocean but aren’t really into seafood or anything that involves “shucking.” Head to The Old Place. Located in a former general store and post office, this saloon/restaurant in the Santa Monica Mountains has everything you want for impressing your out-of-town family - a scenic drive up the PCH, an antique store selling Italian limestone fountains, plus a gigantic patio in the back. The menu is filled with comfort foods, like chicken pot pie with mashed potatoes, bleu cheese potato salad, and an oak-grilled 18-ounce ribeye that puts every La Cienega steakhouse to shame." - kat hong
