The Standard Downtown LA

It was a rainy day in LA and I umbrella-d it to the Standard. There's a cool little restaurant on the first floor across from where the pool table is. I ordered a hot bowl of mac n cheese with lobster. This was a $25 lunch, so it's not cheap. The mac n cheese was soupy but hot and delicious and not overly fatty either. I felt the cheese was just subtle enough so that you could really taste the lobster, which of course is mostly why this cost so much, I suspect. The Standard is such a great place to hang out. If you have time, check out the roof pool bar which is fun day or night but not when its raining.
