"Daily Grill in Studio City has returned again, though the owners never left! For some reason unknown to me, they had closed a few years ago and then reopened as Laurel Pointe, which had a nautical theme and associated cuisine. Midlife crisis perhaps or sign of these crazy, polarized times? But the reincarnated Daily Grill has returned to the essentially same interior as Laurel Pointe but now back to most of the old menu. Comfort food favorites, like meatloaf and chicken pot pie, are back! I did notice, however, that their delicious gazpacho soup is MIA. Our very sweet and excellent server, Maya, said it may return because a number of previous customers like myself have been asking about it. Prices were reasonable, though the menu could benefit from some clarification. Entrees include two items listed under Side Dishes, but there is a price after each item shown there, suggesting the price of each choice is added to the price shown after each entree. Maya clarified those prices were for customers ordering more than the two sides included with your entree. Free parking, a growing anomaly in our city, is readily available. I was surprised they are open only until 10 PM on weekends, especially since they have a nice bar in the dining room. Maybe that will evolve over these challenging times for restaurants. Old time customer or new, give it a try!"
