Best Thai or Seafood place in LA? Cool place to visit?

[jackdaniels]

Heading out for the weekend - any suggestions? Looking for decent places but I don't want to spend more than $100 per person (excluding drinks) at the restaurants.

As for "cool" places to visit - don't suggest Universal Studios. Do suggest anything that has to do with entertainment (comedy clubs, shows, audience participation stuff etc...).

Thanks! (To pre-empt: I tried the search function but I prolly didn't use it right or these things are buried too deep for me to find).
