15 Restaurants That'll Make You Fall In Love With LA Again - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"LA’s concrete expanse is well-documented. But sometimes we all need a reminder that we’re surrounded by beaches, mountains, Dr. Seuss-esque deserts, and vineyard-filled valleys. Look no further than The Old Place for a change of scenery. Nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains, this saloon-ish steakhouse occupies a dusty former general store that’s been standing since the early 1900s. There’s usually a guy playing banjo in the corner, a retired ceramics teacher handing out friendship bracelets, and a parade of old-timey comfort foods from the kitchen: thick chicken pot pies, fruit cobblers baked in cast-iron, and oak-grilled ribeyes the size of your head." - brant cox, garrett snyder, jess basser sanders, nikko duren, sylvio martins, cathy park
