Grub   

The SceneGreen and yellow accents and tables topped with dried lavender brighten this already-cheery converted bungalow. Located in the heart of Tinseltown's post-production houses, it's usually filled with behind-the-scenes industry types, who escape reality with a glass of homemade ginger ale. Chatty servers treat all patrons like family.The FoodThe menu consists of straight-up comfort fare with just a hint of Hollywood pizzazz. Start by dipping warm, soft pita triangles into the aptly named Mount Olympus, a pile of garlicky hummus, wild mushroom couscous, crumbled feta and sharp sun-dried tomatoes. Garden-fresh salads are hearty meals, topped with tangy, marinated shiitake mushrooms and breadcrumb-encrusted goat cheese or sweet, honeyed chicken breast and Dijon vinaigrette. A grilled cheese sandwich, oozing with melted Swiss and cheddar, is served with a cup of creamy tomato soup that's too sweet and chunky to be the perfect childhood rendition, but still a good foil for the buttery sandwich.
