The 12 Most Fun Dinner Spots In LA

"You’ve done dinner at the hot fancy restaurant. You’ve done drinks at the cool new bar. Now what? The Baked Potato, that’s what. This legendary jazz club in Studio City is one of the strangest and most objectively delightful spots for a night out. On any given night, the grungy, one-room bar on Cahuenga is packed with tatted octogenarians, burly musicians, and someone’s nephew getting his mind blown by the power of improvisation. As the name suggests, the menu is comprised almost entirely of baked potatoes. There are 24 different topping options, and you should definitely order one—even if it’s just to take a picture of how big it is. Be sure to grab tickets well in advance. " - brant cox, sylvio martins
