Place to eat near Griffith Park

[Disneygrl36]

Looking for a cool place to eat lunch close to Griffith Park as we want to spend the morning exploring there & then go to the 12:45 planetarium show.
Any suggestions?

There's a cafeteria inside the Observatory that serves really nice food and is surprisingly not too expensive. I had an awesome salad there and the kids loved their soup. Plus the coolest part is that you can eat outside on the patio which overlooks LA on one side and the Hollywood sign on the other! It's a truly awesome place to grab a bite. When you're done you just head up a small flight of stairs to the planetarium.
