Without a doubt, the best meal I ever ate was Victoria & Albert's at the GF. Seven courses. Fantastic. My husband and I talk about it to this day. We are New Yorkers. Restaurants are a way of life and V&A definitely competes with the finer restaurants here.
More of our favorites include:
The Coral Reef.
The Hollywood Brown Derby
Jiko
Buzz Lightyear's Pizza Planet (LOL!)
We also enjoyed California Grill, but found it rather disappointing compared with some of the others. The food was no better than your average Cheesecake Factory, and that doesn't quite cut it with me when its that expensive.
