"What It Is: A new steakhouse in Hollywood Perfect For: Corporate Cards, Dinner With The Parents, Guys Night Unless you’re seeing a musical at Pantages or got tricked into a dinner at Katsuya with your friend who still likes clubbing, there are few good reasons to be at Hollywood and Vine. Add APL to the good reason list. This is a fancy steakhouse that doesn’t feel like a typical fancy steakhouse: Jimi Hendrix is playing on the loudspeaker, the waitstaff is energetic and not taking things too seriously, and there’s something called Fuck Dat Fries on the menu that surprisingly doesn’t make you hate the place. The Verdict: A tremendous upscale steakhouse in a part of Hollywood where you wouldn’t expect one. We’re putting it on our Hit List." - jess basser sanders, brant cox, brett keating
