FILLMORE - Pac Heights' Roostertail has a solution to the tough parking outside: take-out curbside concierge service. When you pay for a take-out order with a credit card over the phone, they'll give you an ETA. Show up outside with your hazards on and they'll run your order out. The service is available Monday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. [EaterWire]
