We met a director friend of ours after his show at a local university at the Pacific Dining Car. Coming from the Monterey Peninsula, we aren't used to eateries open past 10PM. This is such a unique place. The wait staff was wonderful to us, although most of our group only had light bites since it was so late. We... More

Had lunch there this week. Have been their a few times and always enjoy the meal. Service is good, so is atmosphere. Only things that bugs me is $7 valet parking... Worth going to.

I'd heard of the Pacific Dining Car for years but never bothered going. Yesterday a friend and I just happened to be driving by and he recommended it so we went. Not the best neighborhood but the minute you walk in the door you feel like you're in another world! Very nice decor, extremely pleasant staff and service. We were... More

This is a great restaurant with a fabulous wine list. However, it is very expensive. For the price of a steak here you can get two at an alternative very good restaurant. And the markup on the wine is a pretty serious gouge. However, the beef cannot be beat and you will find wines on the list that you cannot... More

We went there for a friend's birthday party. Perfect place for an older crowd that wants to whop it up! Great steaks. Ask for the Bearnaise sauce. To die for.

Great eggs benedict. Perfection of service. For a special treat worth the money.The staff was so kind and helpful.

The bone in ribeye was an excellent cut of meat, aged well and cooked to perfection. The asaparagus was grilled and very good as well. The service was attentive but not overbearing. Very quiet as the... More

It's across the street from the Los Angeles Police Department's Rampart Station House, and it must be that level of protection that explains why the prices are so high here because I can't find any other reason for it! You will pay $50.00 to $75.00 base for your food here without alcohol. So basically $75.00 to $100 a person with... More

I went here once as part of a holiday brunch for work. The restaurant, if you can call it that, smelled moldy. I was almost holding my nose the entire time I was there. I don't even recall what I ordered, just that I thought the prices were high, and the food non-memorable. The waitstaff were non-existent. Perhaps they thought... More
