Laurel Tavern at 11938 Ventura Boulevard, Studio City, Los Angeles, California.

Very cool place. Feels very cozy for a drink after work. Staff is friendly and responsive, even at the bar (shocking). This is made more impressive with the fact that there really aren't people walking around to your table so all transactions are made at the bar. Food was good. Specifically we got the short rib bites which were darn good. I only took one star off because even though everything was good, it didn't blow my mind so take that for what you will. I would come back if I was in the area but probably wouldn't go out of my way.
