I need a restaurant near Dodger Stadium ....

[beingbobbyorr]

I'm in a group of 6 people (4 adults + 2 ten-year-old boys) going to a Monday night Dodger game, and I need a good restaurant within a 15-20 minute drive of Dodger Stadium. I want the best quality food I can get, and money is no limit, but it can't be too exotic in the type of food (10-year-olds aren't very adventurous) and it can't have too strict a dress code.

Any ideas?

I would go for McCormick and Schmicks for happy hour:

Don't let your kids know your aren't serving their needs, but are having "your" kind of good time (ssshhhhh) while they are getting their grub on. I'm sure with a 2/1 adult ratio they will let you get away with this:

as a kid we did Phillipes before the Dodgers game. Not the most glamorous place but can't beat the food and enviroment

I second the vote for Phillipes!

Make it three votes for Philippe The Original.

can't really ever beat Philippe's and a Dodgers game.

Philippe's FTW!!! The lamb sandwhich and a 10 cent lemonade, DO IT!!!

Guys Phillipes and a Doyer game is so no brainer...come on. I think he was looking for upscale so that is why I said Pac. Dining Car

Downtown:

Morton's
Palm
Engine Company
Roy's
El Cholo

Do not try and go to LA Prime, Dress Code and they are bitchy.

For something a bit 'nicer' than Philipe's, you might give some consideration to TAIX French Restaurant. It is an old school classic French restaurant with a great wine list and top notch customer service.

1911 West Sunset Blvd. Just south of Alvardao
Link: Taix French Restaurant - Los Angeles - Dinner Menu

And its a short cab ride to the Stadium from Taix

the Red Lion, just north of the stadium, in SIlver Lake near the 2/5, if you're into German fares.

Red Lion Tavern - Silver Lake - Los Angeles, CA

Damn dude- I came here to say this the other night! The only reason I held up is because I really do not consider the Red Lion to be much of a restaurant for kids, per the original request. Still, you have impeccable taste sir! I love the Lion. Get their sauerkraut and the three sausage platter FTW!
