Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Mid-City

Wow I have been driving by Vitos for many years and always wanted to go! It was amazing!!!! We had the happy hour drinks and food. My eggplant parmesan was delicious and martini superb!!!! My husband and daughters pasta was fantastic (husband very picky and loved his shrimp pasta). The music was so great and the heat lamps on the patio kept us plenty warm! Also, the blond haired hostess was sooo accommodating and nice! Server's were so nice too! Next time, I will eat in the dining room for a special occasion!!

Found this excellent location choice in Westwood where we haven't explored in a couple years. We found Wolfsen for the New American cuisine and pretty good rating. The place was pretty full and quite a few private holiday events happening but we were seated right away. The server began very strong with a welcoming attitude and helpful menu's suggestions. We ordered a sashimi appetizer and a grilled fish main course, my wife ordered an heirloom tomato salad with buratta as a main course. The starter was their salmon sashimi wrapping a crab and vegetable inside fill topped with a light green curry sauce. Very tasty. Unfortunate moment we began the appetizer, the heirloom salad and my main course showed up. The servers were clueless and our waiter very busy with too many other tables. Long story short, the meal ended up delicious and the manager Issac came over to apologize. He was very nice and offered us a drink on the house. Sharing that Wolfsen is already two years old, they're finding their clientel and going strong. With all respect my recommendation is that the restaurant needs to tighten un their training for wait staff and kitchen operations. We will give Wolfsen another go soon and see if they have improved.

Happy hour at Meet in Paris has become one of our favorite Friday dinners. The patio is warm and the food and drinks are delicious.

This place is excellent, food is great and location cannot be beat.

Nerano is a jewel. A smallish local place with fabulous Italian food. The small pizzas are a perfect starter for friends having dinner together. The linguine with clams was perfect. The small (8 oz.) steak -- while not very Italian -- was wonderful, tender and tasty with mashed potatoes on the side.
