Entertainment industry bigwigs huddle over steaks and business deals at Beverly Hills' Grill on the Alley. Decor is classic American with mirrored walls, large chandeliers, dark wood flooring, and semi-private booths, all which create a casual yet elegant atmosphere. Famed for its power lunches (do make a reservation), this men's-clubbish grill makes for great people-watching, while its kitchen makes great grill classics. Steaks and chops are supplemented by upscale comfort foods (like chicken pot pie and meatloaf), pastas, and fish. Although the Grill is located in an alley near Wilshire Boulevard, you can simply follow the streams of devotees to find it.
