THE GET DOWN


A Hollywood landmark since the 1950’s, this old school steak house/Italian joint should not be missed! The experience at The Dresden outdoes the food, but it’s definitely delicious enough to give it a go.

You’ll appreciate sinking yourself into a high, circular shaped, leather booth while you think to yourself you should have put on your finer threads… until you hear the words “Mama, I need to pee!” and your fantasy becomes reality real quick. Makes for a cheesy date day I must say.

The early hours are more forgiving with the peepsqueaks. If they get out of control, the high booth serves as a place to hide (for you or them) and there’s plenty of pasta to enjoy.

The Dresden has live entertainment 7 days a week starting at 9pm. Jazz musicians Marty and Elayne have been a crowd pleaser for years and years.

It’s our goal to make exploring LA either with the kids or with grown ups as easy as possible. Click through the tabs above to check out our rating system.

For those with little
runners & screamers:

Easily forgiven:

Here, you can forget the fact that it’s your rambunctious child that’s screaming and STILL enjoy most of your meal.

Not promoted, but you should take the chance:

If your toddler is at the stage when an iPad or some other colorful distraction can be used for an un-interrupted 20 minutes, then go for it.

Uh-uh, NO WAY, don’t even think about it!:

I don’t care how cute your toddler is. Pop your head in… turn around… walk away. PERIOD.

No contained area:

A place you cannot leave your toddler alone, not even for a second.

Enclosed, but space is tight:

If YOU can’t fit between the tables then you know you couldn’t catch your toddler if they tried – this isn’t Norm’s.
