Sawtelle Kitchen (Sawtelle)

Food 12: Sawtelle

DSC01251.JPGDSC01241.jpgDSC01243.jpgJapanese- Western food. This is their 2nd chance. We ate here before (my art director recommended it) and not only it was so-so, but our car got towed because of it. Maybe we didn't order the right items so we'd try them again. This place is tiny and has a really nice country style interior. The coffee was very good.

DSC01246.jpgHamburg Steak with demi-glaze sauce $8.75 Very normal. The sauce is too light! I've had better elsewhere. The salad was good though.

DSC01250.jpgRed Snapper with Japanese vinegar soysauce $8.75 Alright...ok... too light...

Verdict? No more 3rd chance :( Perfect for a "I'll go there if it's nearby my office and want good food to fill stomach daily" but not qualify for a weekend lunch.

Comments:

I agree that a if a restaurant only has one or 2 things that's good and others not good then it's not good restaurants. good restaurant should be almost everything at least above average and then have some exceptional dishes.

You should have asked the art director exactly which one on the menu he recommends. Though I think restaurants that are only good on certain items are not good restaurants...
