Fundamental LA
1303 Westwood Blvd (very small sign, if at all so keep an eye out for it.)
Lunch - get the $1 add on for salad or chips. Think of this place as Meat and Bread, but personally, I think it's better.
Dinner - Make a reservation and let them know you're from out of town, visiting the restaurant upon recommendation. The menu changes weekly but you will be getting a fresh meal. I believe they have a $35 price-fixe menu but your mileage may vary.
Parking: Street parking. Bring change or park on the residential streets if you don't mind a 1 - 2 block walk.
Service: Wasn't bad but a little casual. Staff and owner are very friendly. Feel free to chat it up with them to learn more about the food and influences.
Price: Nothing baller not cheap. A good lunch would cost $10 - $14 depending on what you get. Dinner is more, of course. Accepts cash and credit.
Clientele: More affluent folks given that it's in Westwood and a lot of researchers since UCLA is literally down the street. You don't need your $3000 D&G suit to eat here. It's very casual.
