Le Ka (CLOSED)

Le Ka is a Downtown restaurant with a neighborhood vibe. The setting—high-ceilings and large windows that look out onto some of the nicest skyscrapers in the area—is decidedly urban, but a warm, knowledgeable staff and tasting-style menu and relaxed vibe lend a coziness to the dining experience. Le Ka's upscale Continental menu features crisp pork belly, grilled marinated octopus, hanger steak and flatbreads. Drop in for a business dinner, post-Staples Center stop or post-work happy hour (from 3pm-7pm) on the outdoor patio, perfect for lounging with a drink from the impressive beer and wine list and specialty cocktail menu.
