ISO of a good restaurant with entertainment...does it exist?

Looking for a restaurant that has good entertainment and good food in the metro LA area. I am hosting a bachelorette and would like to started it off with a nice lively dinner. I am thinking of El CId but have no clue about what the food is like. Then I want to head to a good bar. Looking for good bar suggestions too. Price point $45/pp.

    Papadakis Taverna in San Pedro. I think the food is good (but on the expensive side, even for greek food) and the entertainment was...well... entertaining.
    El Cid -Flamenco is interesting but the food is blah
    Miceli's - Two locations, one in Universal City, the other in H-wood... standard italian fare (nothing WOW) with singing waiters
    Spazio in Sherman Oaks on Ventura - Good food, nice Jazz
    Samba in Redondo Beach - Brazillian food (it's okay) and they do shows too.
    Dar Maghreb in LA - Decent Morrocan food, nice ambiance, okay for small groups, and the belly dancers are just ok.

      Dar Maghreb is fun for a group, has entertainment (belly dancers) & the food is not bad.

          My niece just told me about a Brazilian restaurant - offers good food and has a floor show (Carnival type). I have been there, so cannot verify the claims. It is in Glendale.
