Sunset Grill, American restaurant on Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, United States.
Sunset Grill is a restaurant on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, serving American and international food. It has an indoor dining room and an outdoor patio, both open to guests.
The restaurant was opened in 1957 by Joe Froehlich, at a time when Sunset Boulevard was already a busy strip of bars and eateries. The original building was torn down and rebuilt from scratch in 1997, while keeping the same address.
Don Henley named the restaurant in a 1984 song, which gave the place a lasting connection to the Hollywood music scene. Visitors who know the song often come as much for that reason as for the food.
The restaurant sits on Sunset Boulevard near the Guitar Center Rock Walk, making it easy to spot from the street. It works for a quick bite or a longer meal, though visiting outside peak hours makes it more relaxed.
Even though the building was completely torn down and rebuilt in 1997, the restaurant kept its original name and stayed on the exact same spot on the strip. That means the name has been on that same stretch of Sunset Boulevard since 1957, which is rare for a street that has changed so much around it.
