Breakfast was served on the sun-dappled patio, reportedly one of Nancy Reagan's most favorite places to eat. It truly was a lovely meal. But I was a little shocked at how few customers were there given it's reputation as one of Los Angeles' most popular Power Breakfast spots. A sign of the times, I suppose.

But I did see the former Chairman of Warner Bros. and the former Chairman of the Dodgers, Bob Daley leaving as I was going in. So despite the economy the place still has some wattage.
