Thanks everyone who has gone to such lengths to share all these memories wth the rest of us! I'm really going down memory lane as this is where I took my prospective bride to ask if she would marry me back in July of 1982. Well, it worked as we will be celebrating our 25th this year. Don's was one of our favs, both Hollywood & Marina del Rey locations. Such atmosphere! I'll let you in on a little secret about this restaurant. If you want to see the interior, rent a copy of "Loverboy" starring a little known young man at the time, Patrick Dempsy! (of Grey's Anatomy fame). It is actually a funny little show & I think you'll enjoy it. At the end of the movie, the parents celebrate with a party for something, anyway, they hold it at Don's & you'll see quite a bit of the interior before it was destroyed. Enjoy! Kahuna
