EVERYBODY’S A CRITIC

Brentwood Bar and Grille on San Vicente Boulevard is a knockout. Try their grilled chicken breasts with linguini and radicchio for lunch and their lamb chops for dinner. When we don’t want to splurge, we go to Bob Burns Restaurant in Santa Monica. Try sharing their bouillabaisse for dinner, or else order their swordfish and start with the Caesar salad.
