Two of my favorite sheep-friendly friends that I love to dine with are Daryl & Miki. After a lot of confusion on the dinner location (Miki almost got on a bus to Santa Monica), we ended up at Taste. Miki is entertaining on her own, but with a pre-dinner cocktail in her tiny frame, she was quite the one-woman-show that night. Daryl and I were happily entertained. 
Although we showed up sans a reservation, the host sat us quickly, al fresco style,and we sat facing this awesome Asian guy with a mohawk and headband. Too bad he wasn't Hawk from "So You Think You Can Dance." We ordered the following apetizers: ahi tuna tartare (with mint, avocado and spicy mayonaise), green salad and calamari with a lime aioli. We also enjoyed (just one) main entree - orecchiette pasta with spicy Italian sausage & rapini. 
It was the perfect place to dine with friends in the middle of a busy work week. The portions were good and all of the dishes complimented each other nicely. Plus there was no Hollywood attitude served up in this lovely little restaurant. www.ilovetaste.com
