re: Where to eat somewhere near mall of LA right now

It was actually her idea to go there.

I figured it was going to be a little more of a quiet date place because of how she was dressed, but its more of a brewbachers atmosphere. Plenty of TVs and noise with a bar nearby, which is not a problem but not what I was expecting.

We didn't get to try too many beers because we were on a time crunch to get to the mall before 830 to pick up a coat, but the ones we had were good. We each had two of the lighter house beers.

I got a jalapeño hamburger because the formal date thing was out the window at this point. It was massive and very good. She got a salad and enjoyed it. Don't remember which one, but she couldn't eat it all.

Ended up out the door for $55 with tips and all. Service was very good. We'll be going back for sure. Its not what I was expecting, but no complaints.
