One of the best dining experiences in all of LA- a truly magical combination of exciting and meticulous technique, confidently showcased fresh ingredients, and an intimate and warmly friendly atmosphere that blends the line between fine dining and something closer to a dinner party that just happens to be presented by a world class team. This was our second time and we will absolutely be back again.
