When you consider a steakhouse in LA for drinks, lunch or dinner, Taylors should be in the top 5 on your list. The atmosphere is dark and you can cut it with a knife, like a rare steak. It feels like you are stuck somewhere between 1930 and 1964 inside. Dark leather couches next to dark wooden paneling in a labyrinthine environment is hard to beat. The steak and service are fantastic. For a working lunch, romantic evening, fun evening or well deserved reward, Taylors can't be beat. There is some street parking nearby during the day but valet it at night.

This Korea town steakhouse has been there for years and is another classic old time spot. The interior is dimly lit with red vinyl banquettes. The steaks are a good value. Their hamburgers are made from the ground steak trimmings. This is a popular midtown lunch spot.

Steakhouses come and steakhouses go, but Taylor’s has been around since 1953. It looks it, with a so-old-it’s-retro-cool décor of leatherette booths, dark woodwork and red carpeting. Most guests --- from hipsters to oldsters --- wouldn’t want it any other way. The food, too, is classic steakhouse fare. There is a cocktail of chilled jumbo prawns to start, alongside a Caesar or wedge salad, and...
