We came here on the night before clubbing at Tao I believe so we didn't really want a heavy dinner. We had been walking through the Forum Shops for most of the afternoon and by the time we got to the end, we were somewhat hungry and I think it was either here or Trevi. We chose this place I guess because at least we knew of Wolfgang Puck's other restaurant in LA. \n\nThe restaurant is kind of divided into two dining areas, with the patio serving cafe style food and with the main dining room serving more fine dining cuisine. Both areas are nice, but I think I prefer the cafe because it's kind of like sitting outdoors because of the changing sky colors outside. Upstairs they have huge plasma televisions and more dining space that goes unused. The coolest thing was that in the men's bathroom they have these padded urinals with splash guard. If you're a guy, you know that sometimes when you pee, you get splash (come on, we've all had that happen because of the damn porcelain). Well this anti-splash guard absorbs all the droplets of urine, and I've never seen that before so that was cool (see how fancy Spago can be?) \n\nAnyway, their bread is pretty good. They have three different kinds: this Parmesan bread, olive bread and this flat cracker bread. It comes with cream goat cheese spread (but the goat cheese isn't very strong at all so it was quite good). We started off with an appetizer of Skirt Steak Quesadilla with Sour Cream, Guacamole, and Pico de Gallo. The waitress said we would never taste anything like this in a quesadilla and she was right. It was probably the best quesadilla I've ever had because the skirt steak was just like eating buttery steak. But after that, everything else was just average. I had a chicken sandwich on walnut bread and also tried some of the duck from the dinner menu and some type of pasta. Anyway, everything tasted overpriced. But at least the food sat well for clubbing!
