Late Lunch or Late night dinner near Ahmanson

[gottaeat]

Saturday... want to park ONCE, at Ahmanson, and eat nearby.
Before theater, leisurely lunch, maybe patio if not too hot.
or...
After theater, someplace that stays open LATE (we like to linger, and hate always being the last ones in the place while they start vacuuming up). Music would be a great plus.

Any ideas welcome.
Thanks...
