A Cozy Little Nook in Santa Monica

Don't let the cruddy strip mall setting prevent you from trying the amazing Los Angeles restaurant, Nook, on Santa Monica, between Barry and Federal. This American bistro is open for lunch and dinner and has the best chocolate banana bread pudding ever! For lunch, I recommend the catfish burrito with lemon aioli ($10) - yum! (Def get it charred catfish.) If you mosey over for dinner at this Los Angeles restaurant, get the Shiitake & Gruyere Bread Pudding ($7) and the maple glazed mustard rib-eye ($26) - you won't regret it. I love Americana food that is glammed up and this is for sure one of the best places to go for that kind of food. The intimate atmosphere at this sleek, modern Los Angeles restaurant bowls me over everytime I go, so check it out!
