I will be in LA for a few days beginning of October and looking for a few ideas for solo dining for Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Hotel is in Westwood but willing to drive around. It would be nice to have perhaps a small tasting menu or a relaxed dinner at the bar with a few small plates. This time not looking for high end stuff (e.g. Providence) or sushi. So far Baroo on Saturday at the Bar looks quite tempting but need more ideas for the other two days.
Also, I will be at a concert on Tuesday and need a late night dinner option (kitchen open until 1am) - are there any places with good dishes and cocktails available - years ago I liked the late night menu and cocktails at Red Medicines and also The Pikey but obviously both are gone.
And lastly, what are currently good cocktail bars. Again, years ago we often ended up at Roger Room (is it still good ?) but what else is out there ?

Probably not cool to direct you away from this site, but I find foodtalkcentral.com has a wealth of LA dining intell from a broad range of posters.
EDIT: I see you already did visit!

Second this, nothing like it in the Bay Area, amazing seafood in a casual setting. They also do a testing menu, but I don’t know if you need to reserve that in advance.
