The 16 Best Old Hollywood Restaurants

"As soon as you enter Dear John’s dining room, you’ll be transported to another era, one where servers wore tuxedos, martinis were downed like water, and restaurants were too dark to take pictures of your food. In other words, a much simpler time. This renovated Culver City classic feels like a perfectly preserved relic from the 1960s: you’ll see dark leather booths, red table clothes, and wood-paneled walls covered in retro paintings. The food is pretty interesting, too—think bone-in chicken parmesan, steak tartare served with everything crackers, and tater tots topped with creme fraiche and caviar." - brant cox
