OK, I like this place IN THEORY, so I try every couple of weeks, hoping for the best. But, for burgers and grilled cheese, the price is stupid, even when the food is good (which is not 100% of the time). You get about four sips of wine for average $10. Doesn't allow the normal person to make this a regular hang, especially not in Hollywood, where there are now options. And when the diner opens on Cahuenga, there's gonna be a cheaper, hip option. And note to staff - if a customer clearly doesn't like something, whether a glass of wine or a darn $2 cupcake, offer a substitute for pete's sake! Like that'll break ya? I had a cupcake last night that just sucked, and everyone at the table tried a little and said it sucked, so 3/4 of the thing sat there while the other desserts were eaten. I even told the waiter it sucked. Considering the measly mushroom burger and glass of wine cost $25, you'd think offering another dessert would have been cool. The place isn't cool like that.
