David Allen wrote about Lettuce Toss It in 2016.   I wanted to give them a try because fresh salad is always a good choice. Lettuce Toss It is in the same shopping complex as the Chino Hills location of Shi Foo, a damn good Chinese restaurant.

At Lettuce Toss It you can choose between one of the salads or you can pick you own ingredients to make a salad.

I made my own salad, $9.95 and $4.95 for eight well seasoned and cooked shrimp.  I got half spring mix and spinach as the base.  Then I had mushrooms, shredded carrots, broccoli, roasted corn, and black beans.  Honey mustard dressing on the side.  This was a huge salad, all fresh and the best part- there was no water on the vegetables.  So the dressing stayed on!!  I liked the shrimp, and felt it as worth the $4.95 price.  But, really $9.95 for salad, isn't a good deal. 

Service was good.

While I liked my salad, and thought the ingredients were fresh, I won't go back to Lettuce Toss It.  It's too pricey for what you're getting.  Even if the portions are huge.

Rascal is across La Brea from the original, though now closed, Umami Burger- which is now a Tru Burger,  and just one block south of the now closed New York BBQ,  which was first replaced by  Obo Burger and is now a Mo Better Burgers.   A Battle Burgers on La Brea maybe in the works!

Rascal is a neighborhood gastropub with a nice beer selection and good menu.  It's a fairly good sized bar, but the noise level is really loud here.  It wasn't too crowded on the Friday night I came here.

Seared Tuna salad, $14, avocado, tomatoes, mixed greens, scallions, and wasabi mayo dressing.  The seared tuna was fresh but served a little too rare for my tastes, they could have stayed on the grill for a minute or two longer and they would have been perfect.  But, they were fresh and tasty.  The greens and avocado were all fresh.  The wasabi mayo was pretty mild, I was expecting more heat, but was a nice touch to this salad.  While the salad was good, it wasn't great and not worth the $14 price tag.  I know ahi tuna isn't cheap and they put a good sized portion in the salad, but $14 for this?  Not worth the price.

Service was good.  The server was nice and friendly.

I know people don't usually get a salad at a gastropub, you go for comfort food.  While the salad was good, it wasn't outstanding.  The burgers looked good, so if I come back here, I will give them a try.  Overall a good place to have a beer but I say the salad is overpriced.
