Foodcourt at Century City Mall

In a weeks time, during the holiday rush, I ended up eating at the newly built foodcourt at the Century City Mall. The modern architecture, real plates and glasses, and good quality foodcourt fare makes this worth a trip.

In fact, Rommel had a visitor last night and in his search for a restaurant near West Hollywood, I encouraged him to check this place out.

Harpers

Hungry one night while hanging around Marvin's place, we decided to walk to the nearby Century City mall and after much deliberation tried this restaurant, the very few at this used to be quiet local hangout of the rich and ultra rich neighborhood next to Beverly Hills.

Harper's claiming to be Italian is well located at a busy corner next to Houston's and Gulfstream restaurant. We sat ourselves at the patio, though cold that night, the host was nice enough to turn on one, yes only one, heater. Yes, it wasn't much help. We were served bread, and soon our dishes were served. I am not sure which canned pasta sauce they opened, but certainly not one I would care open myself. Now if it was only me complaining about the blahness of their entrees, I probably wouldn't say this, but with all of us unsatisfied, our recommendation for this place: Head to the foodcourt.

Overly creamy, too cheesy fettucini with smoked salmon: $15.00
