Have you ever checked yourself out in your rearview mirror while stopped at a red light? Basked in the glow of a fellow driver's brake lights? Admit it. You have. And therein, you know what it's like to be at Ketchup. The red tomato paste theme is slathered all over this Sunset Boulevard scene. The draw is its prime real estate above The Strip. Yes, the fact that you're about 3 stories off the ground ups the ante (pun intended) here. Plus, with one wall rigged entirely like a giant sliding glass door, the view from across the restaurant is fantastic and Hollywood Hilly. Enjoy that sight with a cocktail from the adjacent, retro-plush lounge. Oh wait...you're probably gonna be there for dinner. In that case, bring plenty of green and prepare yourself to go into the red. Par the course for LA, the menu is overpriced compared to the food portions. At least your ""snack"" entree tastes good. I recommend the pistachio encrusted chicken. As for their five specialty ketchups--call me old fashioned--I prefer the original. Tip: The last time I was there it was a Sunday and everything was 50 percent off. At those prices, Ketchup is sweet.
Pros: Decor
