Went to Ketchup with a 4 of my friends from work and had a blast. We got sat like 15-20 minutes after our res but we didn't mind because we hung out in the lounge. It looks over Sunset Blvd into the hills. Very cool. Ketchup is a real overall experience. It's a beautiful open space, with red and white everywhere (see pictures above) and it has a buzz which gives the place a sort of night club atmosphere. Pretty much I think we talked about the restaurant for about half the time we were there. A lot going on from the shot cart that goes around and gives you samples of their cocktails (complimentary but tip the girl) to the Fun-titled menu items like the Three Some (an assortment of unique fries served with an assortment of homemade ketchups). The waiter gave us a description of some 'must haves' and we took his word and WOW the food was awesome. Get the Fries, the Kobe Chili Hotdogs, the Mac & Cheese with crab and truffle oil (oh my God!), The Jack Daniels glazed 14 oz Pork Chop, The Scallops with wicked ale and lobster mashed potatoes, the Pistachio Chicken Breast with a raz sauce (called a Shake N Bake) or grilled cheez w/ Tomato Soup. Again, couldn't stop talking about how good the food was. Get the ice cream sandwich for desert. Simple but awesome. We had fun at Ketchup and left full. People working there really nice too. Great date place...lots to talk about. Go.
Pros: Food, Ambiance (party scene), Staff, Something Different w/ Quality
Cons: Not a quiet place if that's what you are looking for.
