Good Place for Dinner in Hollywood Area
So a few friends of mine, and I, are gathering for dinner to catch up and have a good time. Hollywood/West Hollywood seems to be the best area since we all live around it. I'm looking for someplace that has good food, good ambiance and that has a late 20s early 30s crowd.
Even though I've lived in this city forever, I'm blanking on places in that area. I'm also moving away from CA and would like to go somewhere that will make leaving LA harder.
Suggestions?

Hungry Cat is great. I also like Velvet Margarita for the atmosphere. The food is good too.

I'd suggest Lucky Devil's at Hollywood/Cherokee near Hollywood and Highland. The food is outstanding and there's a great selection of beers on tap and a small well edited wine list. Desserts are fantastic and there's a huge public lot with plenty of parking just up Cherokee. Every time I take people here they want to go back the very next night.

I like both Hungry Cat and Citizen Smith. Depends on what you're looking for in terms of ambience and menu. HC has better food, CS draws more of the 20's/30's crowd. HC is almost entirely seafood, CS is comfort food. Both are very close to the Cahuenga Corridor (in fact, Citizen Smith is ON Cahuenga), whereas Ammo is on Highland.
Here's Hungry Cat's menu:

I've done both in the same night; food and cocktails at Hungry Cat, then lounged at Citizen Smith (which was part of a pubcrawl that encompassed Big Wangs and Velvet Margarita and Star Shoes and...)
