THIS RESTAURANT IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED Pacific Dining Car Restaurant Review:

Pacific Dining Car is possibly the best (certainly the priciest) restaurant in L.A. that is open 24 hours a day. The family-owned power-dining venue (we're talking politics, not Hollywood) has been around since 1921. This downtown institution is a fun place to visit: the front room is a railway car from the halcyon days of the Union Pacific, with a warm and rather clubby ambience. The service is always good here, with professional waiters, not aspiring actors, catering to your needs. At breakfast, which is actually a terrific (and less expensive) way to experience the "PDC," you might find local pols debating issues over eggs Sardou or roast beef hash. But this is a venerable steakhouse, and you'll never regret such staples as crab cakes, iceberg lettuce with Roquefort and USDA Prime beef --- buttery filet mignon, nicely marbled rib-eye and prime rib --- with baked potatoes or creamed corn. For dessert, finish with a chocolate soufflé or cheesecake with shortbread cookie crust. The wine list features legendary names from around the globe, with plenty of full-bodied reds to match the beef-centric menu.
