Could it have been Hardy's (not to be confused with the fast food Hardee's)? Hardy's was a little diner somewhere downtown that served the best steaks, salads with fresh blue cheese dressing and loaded baked potatoes. It was open in the '60's and '70's but I don't know when it closed.

Hardy's Steak House was where the Better Business Bureau is today. It was adjacent to what's now Film Row. I remember eating there when my father worked at Sears downtown. Hardy's had dozens of Hollywood celebritiy autographs on its walls. I remember John Wayne, Clark Gable, Charles Laughton, Betty Grable, to name a few. I have often wondered what happened to those priceless signatures when the building was razed.
