Makai has changed a lot over the years. I've been to MaKai a few times and everytime I leave satisfied. They're menu ranges from Miso Black Cod to Rib Eye Steak and Sliders. They also have a small sushi roll selection. The ambiance is relaxed but nice. The service can be a little lacking at times, but in a city filled with would-be actors, can you expect anything more?! If you haven't been to Makai it's worth a trip to make up your own mind. It seems the harshers reviews are a little dated, as they've made a lot of changes recently. If you're looking for a hip, non-pretensious restaurant with a good lounge scene and good food, this is the place. But don't forgo your reservation at Spago to go here, they're not the same type of restaurant nor are they trying to be.
Pros: Good Food, Location, Ambiance
Cons: Price of Parking, Crowded on Weekends
