Let’s get real. These days, it’s all about “the aesthetic.” The chic European interior at The Draycott (15255 Palisades Village Ln, Pacific Palisades 90272) will fit perfectly on your feed, but the $25 Lunch and $39 Dinner menus are perfect for a feed. Order some of their crowd favorites like the Chicken Milanese for lunch or sticky toffee pudding for an after dinner treat.
