Sun Nov 21 04:23:01 -0800 2004 0 ChefJoAnna 1 347335 Yeah, it seems to have a grown up frat boy spring break type theme. Ugh. Sun Nov 21 05:12:30 -0800 2004 347332 0 Dude 2 347340 It was always the wrong location for that place. Should have been Robertson, WeHo, SM, etc. That strip is host to an incredible preponderance of bad restaurants...must be all the recent grads in the apartments just north.

The last time we went a few months ago it was almost empty and the food portions were tiny - even the famous entrecote was now top sirloin but the frites were still excellent. That place really had the feeling of being "Frenchy" - where to eat French food now??

Sun Nov 21 20:14:19 -0800 2004 347340 0 petradish 3 349149 It had too much competition with Q's. I miss it. It was our neighborhood restaurant. My fiance proposed to me there on Valentine's. Now it's been replaced it with another Mexican pub, similar to Q's. Don't they have another restaurant on La Cienaga? Sun Dec 05 18:40:51 -0800 2004 347340 0 EMS 1 347381 Le Petit Zinc was the same ownership as Le Petit Bistro on La Cienega and its kid sister in Sherman Oaks, but with another name. That stretch of Wilshire of recent times has become the kiss of death to many restaurants, and the lack of parking, and the VERY high rents will make it no easier for anyone to make money in the future. And if someone handed you $350K to leave, wouldn't you? Cabo Cantina is owned by the Zampellis of Dude's in Weho and Cabo Cantina in Balboa. Sun Nov 21 22:09:21 -0800 2004 347332 0 carter
