As a USC alum, I really wanted to like this place. I enjoy listening to Petros Papadakis' radio show, I love USC football, and I love good restaurants, so I figured this would be a slam dunk. Unfortunately, my experience was very sub par. From the $12 well drinks to the $32 fish (with bones in every bite), to the overcrowded and surprisingly plain ambiance, this restaurant was a complete let down. You're better off skipping dinner and spending your $350 (our tab for 6 people) on drinks at Shade next door.
