 The Grill on Hollywood Restaurant Review: The Grill on the Alley, a Beverly Hills institution and perennial favorite among Hollywood agents and their clients, has established a branch at another hotspot of America's entertainment industry, Hollywood & Highland. The restaurant, adjacent to the Kodak Theater---home of the Oscars---offers the same dark, opulent bar-and-grill interior and snappy, professional service as the original; as a matter of fact, the two locations share many staff members. Like the original, the menu concentrates on comfortable American classics like Cobb and Shrimp Louie salads, heavy-duty burgers, steaks and chops, consumed with hand-crafted martinis or full-bodied wines. Guests begin with Grill standards like steak tartare or signature chopped salad with blue cheese dressing before moving on to Prime steaks, trout amandine or chicken potpie. The menu is extensive, right through to a dessert selection that includes signatures like strawberry shortcake and Key lime pie. The Grill, a refreshing change from more trend-conscious eateries in the neighborhood, remains a throwback to a more down-to-earth era of Hollywood. That said, it is not quite the same pampered experience as the Beverly Hills original. Conscious of its tourist-friendly locale, the Hollywood & Highland location offers a wide patio of outdoor tables overlooking the whole H & H scene from a top floor balcony.
