KIRK DOUGLAS HAS A FRIEND A FEW DOORS AWAY.
Strolling the neighborhood streets of Culver City for a pre-show bite to eat, these wanderers find an array of eating outposts nearby the Kirk Douglas Theatre (Center Theatre Group (CTG)) in this enclave close to Beverly Hills. CITY TAVERN appears to have an intriguing menu with appropriate pricing. Bingo!
Indoor and outdoor spaces for dining are available and the locals seem to be “eating up” all of these restaurants nearby. Closer inspection of the menu options offer us plenty of choices from the latest foodie trends.
Susie puts her finger on Macaroni & Pimento Cheese accompanied by Blanched Brussel Sprouts w/ Pork Belly. Bill selects a Poutine with Pork and Pimento Cheese Curds Over French Fries (apparently a favorite at this restaurant). The affable waiter reminds us of the 10% discount for theatregoers and promises to send us on our way in time for the curtain.
The food proves highly satisfying. Skipping the extensive beer menu (it is a “tavern” after all) may be a mistake, but at least the wallet is thankful.
The dining experience is peaceful under the newly blooming Jacaranda trees. A return visit seems likely.
