"We wanted to lunch at a nice place near downtown - McKay's is wonderful - great location, on Figueroa, near USC. Good parking and it's free if you say you're having lunch at McKays.
Nice menu - lots of variety, from salads to sanwiches and entrees, too. Friendly service, nice atmosphere, moderately priced and the food is delicious. I definitely recommend it, and I will be back!"

"I think the previous ratings must have been influenced by "SC" passion, because the restaurant really is a solid 3-star, in every respect. I've been to ten DTLA restaurants in the last three months, and know an average offering when I experience one. There are many other "true" fours out there."

"Food was good but not great; server was friendly and attentive. Dark room with no windows was a bit creepy, as was the mostly male crowd in suits at the bar."

"Well prepared food, fast service, perfect to go to before any events at Staples or USC. The only drawback? Parking is terrible. If you're lucky to find anything within 2 blocks!"
