night? Or for that matter at any time, as I’ll have to eat the other days I’m there too, of course! Thanks, Robert Thornton Pasadena, CA

Civic Center area, quiet, open after 10 on Friday: Absinthe, Jardiniere, Paul K, Zuni. Maybe Cav ... quiet when they’re not busy, I don’t know how crowded they are at that time.
