Whenever I am in the United States, there are two restaurants I find enjoyable:

WASHINGTON DC: Cafe Mozart

LOS ANGELES: Chalet Edelweiss ( near LAX )

Highly recommended, reasonable, authentic.

I had a missing checked-in case recently with AA, and was told it might be in on the next flight 2 hours later. I walked over to kill time at Chalet Edelweiss, had a nice meal, a glass of wine, and pleasant conversation with Karin, the Manager.

2 hours later Voila ! The case had arrived, and I was back on track again.
