4 stars and 3500 reviews on Yelp can't be wrong - unique farm-to-table restaurant in Venice. Charming, rustic, but not pretentious. Pricey but not overly so. Call ahead for reservations.

Hands down top 5 restaurants in LA for me. Used to have 3 month reservation queues but now the hype has died down, still great food. Roughly $25-50 per person, but well worth it. GET THE BONE MARROW. Rich and kind of heavy, but will leave you wanting more.

I would suggest seeing the Observatory ONLY after you have taken LA in for a day or so, so you can truly appreciate its expanse and how such an eclectic bunch of people can live amongst each other in this beautiful place! Especially suggest at nights to see the twinkling city lights (although you won't fully appreciate the architecture Observatory itself), after rain/winds (when there is no smog), or at sunset if possible!
