This place has the best king crab legs in the los angeles area, bar none. The selection of side dishes leaves something to be desired, especially if you are not that fond of rice or potatoes. But the crab is king. The service is generally good, though you do have to wait sometimes. This is not a place to bring kids. It is too expensive and things are a little crowded inside. Besides I don't want to hear your kid screaming while I am spending $200 for dinner for two with wine. I eat here at least 4-5 times a year and have never had a bad food experience. I have had grilled fish, prime rib and crab -- all very good. The salads are wonderful, as is the bread.
Pros: Crab
Cons: Crowded and noisy

My husband and I have gone to this restaurant at least 50 times in the last 25 years. One thing that has never changed is their exemplary customer service. To this date, they still great everyone by name as they take you to your table. They have some of the same servers that have been there for years. We've even seen a couple of professional athletes frequent this place. Yes, it is a popular spot to go and eat their delicious food. Reservations are highly recommended. However, from time to time, we have just stopped by on a Saturday night and never had to wait more than an hour for a table. Of course, besides all of that, what has brought us back to this wonderful restaurant time after time, is their great food. All their appetizers are delicious, the salad is fresh and light, the bread is to die for; always hot and warm, and their main courses are fantastic! My husband loves the huge king crab legs, and I love the shrimp scampi or the blackened salmon (excuse me while I wipe the drool from my mouth) I'm sure we'll continue to go back for all our special occasions for years to come.
Cons: Parking almost always full, but worth the walk.
