The food, the service, the bathrooms - disgusting. We eat out a great deal in Los Angeles and would rate this restaurant poorly on every level. Starting with the staff at the bar - poor on customer service and ability. Move onto the atmosphere - cramped and unclean. Bathrooms that were filthy - unsanitary, no paper, no service and overflowing toilets. The menu lacked imagination and truth. A "chicken breast" plate that showed with leg, bone and skin all attached and a medium-well hamburger bloody and cold inside. The waiter was rude, sarcastic and lacking in anything that appeared to be wait staff experience. Village Idiot? Maybe a better name for anyone that dines there...... This was a horrific experience!

Antonio's is a decent place to do this, but it's on the expensive side for an average Mexican restaurant. The Village Idiot, with sliding front windows, will make a better subsistute. We were disappointed in both tarts (the goat cheese and the apple), and the fries are like In-N-Out's (whether you like that or not). The brussell sprouts with bacon were delicious though.
