"This ritzy Italian steakhouse in Santa Monica, hidden in the basement of The Georgian Hotel, looks like a 1930s dinner parlor where bankers took their secret girlfriends for a rendezvous. Don’t write it off as a silly theme though, because this place has Old Hollywood cred going back nearly a century. Dinner these days involves crooners singing big band covers in the corner and beefy steaks arriving spot-on medium-rare. You’ll have to find a mysterious doorbell and place a privacy sticker over your phone camera to enter, which is a little much, but fits the vibe." - brant cox
