Cinespace Restaurant & Lounge   

Combining the world of film, food and nightlife, CineSpace attempts to reinvent the way Hollywood sees its movies. Located just above the swanky Ivar, one of Hollywood's foremost dance clubs, the multifaceted locale is done up in translucent metals, bleached Scandinavian woods and state-of-the-art electronics. Red tones and sleek lines set the mood in the street-facing dining room, surrounded by a bar and lounge that give industry types a perfect entertainment address. Dining at CineSpace is an experience in itself, with appetizers and entrees that tempt the image-conscious. Small bites like calamari, lobster latkes and seafood bisque entice the palate as readily as main-dish favorites like the duck in red wine sauce and braised lamb chops. For more casual concoctions try the bar, which offers all of the restaurant's appetizers in addition to its selection of premium drinks and wines. The bartenders mix up a great martini along with specials such as the signature CineSpace Cosmo. A great break from the usual nightlife options, CineSpace teaches Tinseltown a thing or two about movies after dark.
