Everything could be served family style, and it was tasty. I would like to know about everyones favorites here in LA. I am in El Segundo, but will travel anywhere for the good stuff. Thanks!

My former Lebanese-American coworker recommended it to me as being authentic. They also had some 10% off coupons in the Beach Reporter/Easy reader last week. The same coworker also recommended some place, whose name escapes me, that is located on Sunset next to a famous club... maybe the Roxy or whisky a go go? Anyone know what place I'm talking about whether it's good?
