Has a vibe that just makes you feel good.
High ceilings, soft lighting
Monster headphones, gentle Andean music in the background
wholesale newport cigarettes, and big soundproof windows so you don't hear the buzz of cars on Santa Monica Blvd.
The food is decent -- I live around the corner
newports cigarettes, and have tried about four different dishes so far. All are good though none have blown me away yet. The price is certainly reasonable -- $10-$14 for an entree.
Other things I like: art work for sale on the walls, an old black and white movie being projected onto the back wall, a small bar area, and the fact that it has never been overly busy.
Kind of makes me feel like this place hasn't quite been discovered yet.
