I've been to 208 a handful of times, as it's one of the few places to drink down on my end of Hollywood. Last time I went for the lunch special (2 courses, $158) when I had to fend for myself for lunch.
You're given two options at lunch time: set lunch upstairs, with no salad bar, or salad bar and lunch downstairs. I picked upstairs.
Being thirsty, I absentmindedly ordered still water. Don't do that; at $70 it's half the cost of the lunch itself.
First they start you off with some bread that's pretty much pizza without the sauce and toppings:
I'd recommend just skipping this; there's enough food in the lunch set that this just takes up room in your stomach, and it hasn't got much taste to it anyway. CFor my first course I had the Caesar salad:
The salad has anchovies, hard boiled eggs, croutons, parmesan, and romaine. I found that they went completely overboard with the dressing, and it wound up being overly creamy and hard to eat. I like a light touch on my salads; this was a heavy, heavy first course. Get something else. C+The main course was pizza:
I got the diavolo with spicy salami. The pizza itself was decent. The way it's cooked, the crust in the middle is soggy and more or less uncooked. The slices can't be eaten by hand until you've consumed or removed the floppy soggy parts in the middle. I haven't been to Italy, so maybe that's how they like it-- I myself could live without. The cooked part of the pizza is pretty good, and the salami is surprisingly spicy. Not overwhelming or anything, but spicy as advertized, which is rare. The toppings have a tendency to come of en masse; they can't really be cooked into the dough if the dough itself isn't cooked. B-My total wound up being something ridiculous like $310 for lunch, when you add in the still water ($70), a beer ($58), and the service charge. I guess I technically have that sort of disposable income, but I'm not sure this is the best way to dispose of it. The place is nice and all, it's just nothing special, not considering the $$$.
