I just made an ADR for one of these in December. We’re going to Mama Melrose. I tried to get Hollywood & Vine but it was completely full (this at 7:45 on the day I could make the reservation. Oy).
The only problem is that it’s at 2:45 which is a little late for lunch if you have small kids, but we’ll just have a late breakfast that day. I think this is a good solution for parents who are hesitant to take kids out for dinner at a sit-down place. I know mine sometimes start to get cranky that time of day if they’re not running around so this is a good option.
Chris — Great point on the cranky kids front — late lunch is a bit easier than dinner sometimes, I’d imagine. It might also be a slow time at the restaurant, so the kids can go explore… Something I really liked about MM the last time I was there was the table-side interaction from streetmosphere characters. Very cool.
