Early Memorial day dinner - reasonable or free corkage

[ellink]

Looking for a casual, not too noisy place. Prefer some outdoor seating but not essential. American, Italian, or seafood. Location: Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Pasadena, Glendale, Montrose.

Any ideas?

Cafe Verde

Malbec

The Raymond

Celestino

Elements Kitchen

Gales

Bashan

I just posted the Houston's rec, but have never been to Cafe Bizou...and it sounds interesting. Which is better?

I think Bizou has better food.

Houston's in Pasadena is pretty solid American cuisine (and outstanding ribs)...and they have free corkage!

Not that familiar with that area; however, let me state the obvious option in Pasadena - Cafe Bizou - They have (I think they still do) a $2 corkage:
