Al fresco, al dente, and all-around good--this WeHo stand fills you up without emptying your wallet

In Short
Upscale yet unpretentious, this wood-beamed dining room hosts doctors from nearby Cedars Sinai, ladies who lunch and young Europeans travelers. An extensive, mostly Cal-Italian menu features more than a dozen salads, such as a salmon and mango combination drizzled with vinaigrette. A roasted chicken breast is stuffed with goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and fresh thyme, and al dente pastas include the unconventional linguini Chinoise, with chicken, shrimp, snow peas, broccoli, ginger and soy sauce. Pizza and sushi are also available.
