So every now and then one encounters a restaurant adjacent an SC that is considerably better than it needs to be. A pleasant surprise, even.
Such is the case with Midici, adjacent the Hawthorne SC in the 1st floor corner of the Marriott.
Open late, their pizzas, salads, and in particular the chicken piccata and seared salmon puttanesca are deeeeeeelicious.
Icing on the cake is the staff. Every person I’ve encountered here has been great. This is not necessarily the usual state of affairs in SoCal. Just saying.
More icing - they have off-menu Tesla specials - just show them yer app or fob or card or point to whichever chariot is yours as most of the SC spaces are quite visible from inside the restaurant or from the patio.
