Horses

Horses is both classy and edgy, the ideal spot to slide into a big red booth with your boo and chew on the same noodle without judgment. The menu is eclectic, with French and Italian influences. Try the Pork Chop Milanese with a haricot vert remoulade, Pappardelle with saffron and speck, or keep it close to home with their celebrated Cheeseburger and Fries.

In Hollywood, even the dining rooms have star power. Horses recently opened in a space that used to be The Pikey, and before that it was legendary Ye Coach & Horses, a Hollywood-style British pub that was popular with titans like Alfred Hitchcock, Jim Morrison, and Quentin Tarantino. Horses is ready to live up to that legacy with an elevated classic California menu; there is pasta and steak, Veal Sweetbread and Pork Rillettes, and a particularly good and fancy Cheeseburger. Drinks are similarly excellent, and the energy level in the dining room is appropriately high.
