Kali

Everything old is new again at Chef/owner Kevin Meehan's Kali, which has been reimagined as a classic Hollywood steakhouse. The dining room, split in two with a full-service bar and a luxe dining room behind a red curtain, gets all the details right (think lipstick red carpeting and cushioned seating). The menu begins with tried-and-true favorites like beef tartare or mushroom risotto, but the centerpiece is certainly their Creekstone Farms steak. Of course, there must be potatoes (get the a'la loaded that's baked and fried to order). Desserts also lean traditional, as in crème brûlée or a seasonal fruit sorbet, but you'll never go wrong with their meringue gelato topped with grated, cured egg yolks.
