Trattoria Toscana

Toscana's CEO Francesco Greco greets many of his guests by name as they negotiate their way through the crowds of happy eaters. Big with the Westside Hollywood crowd, Toscana does a mean risotto but also makes terrific ribeye steaks and T-bones.

Supposedly a great spa that lots of LA stars will go for a quick get a way.

I've been to Ojai a few times (we used to do our annual offsites here for rustic canyon)... Mark and I considered getting married here as they recently completed a huge renovation and it is BEAUTIFUL. The spa is gorgeous, and they have tennis, golf, horseback riding, yoga, walking trails, etc.

My co-worker raves about the Sunday brunch here. Rooms are pricey. If price is an issue, we could stay at another place nearby and eat there in the morning.

Mindy - thanks for doing all of the research on hotels! I would be fine with any of them, although as much as I love Shutters, I think the price is a little steep. Re: Bev Hills v. Santa Monica... Do we think we might want to spend some time lounging on the beach in SM? If so, SM might be a good choice. Alternatively, if we'd like to hit Rodeo drive for a little shopping, BH might be better. I'm completely fine with either. Another option is the Le Merigot Marriot hotel in SM. They have an internet special that includes one massage (105 value) for 349, so implied room cost is 244. If we're doing the spa at the hotel, that might be a good option (Mark and I have stayed there.. it is nice); but, if we're doing Burke Williams (which I'm totally fine with), then it probably doesn't make sense. Again, I'm totally fine with any of these… Mindy you can just surprise me!

Re: dinner... if we stay in SM, and if you are all up for Italian, then I'd suggest Toscana (in Brentwood). It is my favorite restaurant in LA... great service and the food is impeccable. That said, I'm always up for other places, too :)

maybe you and Jen should carpool and I drive separately since I have to leave early for LAX... you guys should stay longer and enjoy it :)
