Dan Tana's

The 13 Best Caesar Salads In LA, Ranked - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"We’ve heard people say things like “It’s just a salad” or “Who the hell is Nika?” when discussing this classic caesar, but we won’t hear a word of it. Dan Tana’s version is the pinnacle of the form and an essential component of any dinner at this West Hollywood landmark. Could the lettuce be more crisp? Sure. But if you’re expecting farmers market greens from a ‘60s-era Italian restaurant with waiters in suits tossing each salad in the corner, you haven’t watched enough Scorcese films. This is creamy, salty, garlicky nostalgia at its finest. Dan Tana’s is a place where regulars get preferential treatment, which isn't surprising when reservation books date back decades. Calling last minute rarely works. Calling six to ten days in advance will usually result in a table." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder
