Lalla Grill
1400 Del Monte Center, Monterey
324-4632
Whether you’ve just watched the most transformative on-screen performance of a generation, or a film so bad you feel like it stole precious time that you’ll never get back, Lalla Grill gives moviegoers a modern day salon d’art (of food and drink) for film discussion within a stone’s throw of Del Monte Center’s Century Cinema. Amateur film critics can nosh on appetizers like Thai chicken lollipops or crab cakes and entrees like Korean beef short ribs or mushroom-stuffed brick roasted chicken. Let’s not forget about the cinema screen-sized liquor display that produces cocktails like the Mad Mandarin or the Liquid Venom, which deserve their own Hollywood star for their mind-numbing effects.
