I received some referrals when I asked about Inn of the Seventh Ray:
Boneyard Bistro isn’t super close to the Galleria, but it might make a nice dinner option. @J_L had also recommended Scratch Bar. If you want to spend the $ and are heading back to the westside, the Restaurant at the Getty is totally do-able.
For lunch, I like Streets of India in Encino (good lunch buffet and they have plenty of veg options).
+1 of Pho So 1. Just be prepared for a wait at lunch. MiDiCi (like 800 Deg back when it was good) is also very tasty.
A place called Davenport’s just opened in Encino; I know nothing about it. Red Room gets good reviews, but I also haven’t been.
Blue Dog Tavern and Pubilc School 818 are fine but nothing exceptional (although I don’t drink, so perhaps the appeal is lost on me).
Would skip Claudine (which is okay taste-wise but overpriced).
