Guess that must be why it's Sydney Poitier's favorite restuarant, I always see him there w/ family.
It is my good friend's place, I've eaten there about 1000 times and never seen you there once, David, but I guess you would know. Just like a Starbucks? No, Universal City Walk is just like a Starbucks.
Whatever, just trying to help a stranger avoid the usual gross tourist experience of L.A., do whatever you want. Go look at the star's footprints at the Chinese Theatre, I don't care. Most of the "what to see" advice that I see here makes me cringe. I've taken people from every corner of the globe to PACE and Il Sole, (including friends from Northern Minnesota, Africa, Asia, NYC), those are cool spots. Sorry that you had a bad experience the one time that you went.
Too be real about it, the drive on Mulholland is 1/2 the experience, Downtown L.A. has a lot to see but I would rather check out the canyons on a hot summer night.
