    My only complaint is the full corn in the cob and peppers in my wedge salad. I mean why?! Our table assistant was incredible, he was on top of it with water and clearing plates.

    There was a very loud band playing next to their outside dining area and it was a cold night, so we opted to sit inside at a table. The room was nearly empty and well insulated from the noise. My wife had the blackened salmon and I had the salmon carbonara, both excellent. I loved the white wine sauce on my dish. We shared a very large Caesar salad which was good, but was a bit skimpy on the dressing. They had an interesting cocktail menu and a nice wine list. We will be back.

    Excellent barbecued baby back ribs and chicken. Must have the fried onion strings, our favorite appetizer. Love the warm ambiance with large fireplaces in a historical building. Have been going to MacArthur Park for over 30 years and always pleased with the excellent food and service.
