Dan Tana's

I wrapped up a long day by having dinner at Dan Tana's on Wednesday night. I drove around West Hollywood for about an hour trying to avoid using valet parking ... but once it became obvious that I was fighting a losing battle, I surrendered my car to the attendant.

The restaurant was noisy yet intimate, and I watched for celebrity sightings as the host escorted me to a table near a private booth. (Unfortunately, I didn't see any famous people while I was there.) I felt a little out of place once I was seated, for I was the only person dining alone in a room full of couples and groups. (I jokingly told the waiter that "single people have to eat, too.") My meal was delectable, with my only complaint being that the servings were too big. Then again, considering the $70 price tag -- including tip -- I got what I paid for.
