(There is, technically, a dress code \u2014 an ominous little sign near the door simply reads \u201cDRESS CODE,\u201d offering no further guidance \u2014 but the reality inside feels delightfully unpretentious.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Taylor\u2019s has been around, in one form or another, since 1953, and it feels like very little has changed over the decades. The menu leans classic to the point of stubbornness: London broil, onion-topped steaks in multiple variations, French onion soup that arrives bubbling and unapologetically cheese-laden. You will know your server\u2019s first name and can linger at your table longer than feels reasonable. Enjoy a small bottle of prosecco sent over by a mystery group of Italian men four tables over, as my dining companions and I did. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/la.eater.com\/maps\/best-steak-steakhouses-los-angeles\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">steakhouse world<\/a>, a genre of restaurant that can sometimes feel exclusive, Taylor\u2019s endures for its affordability and warm atmosphere..<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Consider the vibe both aspirational and come as you are. No reservation? If it\u2019s a weeknight, probably no problem. Order a martini or a beer! Kick back and relax! Taylor\u2019s remains the retro-kitsch spot for grabbing a well-cooked steak, a perfect shrimp cocktail, and an <a href=\"https:\/\/la.eater.com\/maps\/best-martinis-los-angeles-bars-restaurants\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">unfussy martini<\/a> that will nonetheless be fun to sip on while you trade stories with friends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph n2hx75i _1knl15h1 _1knl15h0 cej01i1\">Taylor\u2019s has its own parking lot with a $5 valet \u2014 an almost surreal luxury in notoriously space-deprived Koreatown, where parking is typically a blood sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Los Angeles does Old Hollywood well, but it rarely does it cheaply.
