Best Place to Eat Alone
Wolfgang Puck Pizza Bar
Staff Pick
- Natrice Bullard
You can wander in anytime and get a seat at Wolfgang Puck's large but friendly bar, which is great for chatterers, but there are smaller tables for solo diners who want to be absorbed by the food or a Kindle. In the kitchen, Chef Scott Wallen produces consistently well-crafted dishes from time-tested recipes.
