In the heart of the theater district, this inviting combination dining room-bar in the Hotel Monaco is a magnet for folks seeking everything from an early-morning breakfast to a late-night snack. The main menu includes elements of French, Italian, and California cooking, and the bar serves salads, soups, omelets, and savory tarts. The spacious dining room, formerly a hotel ballroom, has fanciful sculptures of human figures and eye-catching murals. The smaller bar area has dozens of pen-and-ink cartoons to keep you amused.
