Eating at the bar - westside

I'm looking for a place to eat at the bar as a solo diner on the westside. I was thinking of someplace like Nook, but was there last week. Does Violet have a bar with dinner service? Any other suggestions? (budget, type of food, etc. doesn't matter...just looking for a good meal with a glass of wine near the westside)

      LA Farm - expensive, French influenced menu, interesting interior design
      Billingsley's - dark, affordable steakhouse; interior design static for decades except for seasonal holiday decorations; bartenders pour great martinis / gibsons / manhattans etc.
      Enterprise Fish Co - loud and busy on weekends
      Ocean Ave Seafood - haven't been in a couple of years, but the happy hour was great

        The Lobster, Vincenti, Toscana, CUT [SideBar], Capo, Pecorino - these are some places that come to mind. Out of all of them, Vincenti is my favorite, then CUT.

          Beechwood has a great bar, I also liked the bar at Mako. And naturally, the bar's at Mozza (but you have to go before 5pm unless you don't mind waiting)

                  O-Bar. I feel like I keep talking about them, but it's because I am so new to the West LA scene I haven't visited many other places. Good fries, and my friend raves about lobster mac n' cheese.

                    If money is no object, I like eating at the bar at Capo. La Vecchia has a good bar for dining too.

                      Violet does have a bar with dinner service. I also like eating at the bar at Primitivo, Wilson, Orris, Ford's and Beechwood.
