There is a new and a very unique restaurant, on the restaurant map in L.A. This is a one of a kind place with a great location. As we all know in order to have a great restaurant we need three things, ambience, very good food and exceptional service. If I had to grade this place on one/ten scale I will give it twelve. Not only the ambience is a master peace of art but having a real French Chef that knows what he is doing is pretty exceptional. If you do not make reservation in advance the chances to get in are very slim and on top of it on Wednesday nights and Saturday nights there is a Jazz bend live performance.
Also a big advantage that I have seen in very few restaurants, is a wonderful wine and beer and hard liquer collection. They are using a new system for the bar called NAPA TECHNOLOGY MBX 8 WINE STATION . This technology keeps the open bottles fresh. For a long life, you put the open bottles to the machine, adjust the hose, and a gas keeps it fresh (this machine is also adjusting the temperature control of the wines). This is a high end technology that operates with a help of computer and the gas that comes in automatic and keeps it closed like a cork (it is like if the bottle was never opened). The selection of the wines is just unreal from the best wineries Price per glass ranges between $9-$20, and $30-$340 for bottles. Take care of an impeccable service and operations of the entire restaurant there is an amazing manager Greg Woodbury. I have never met in all my years working as a chef , such a man with so much knowledge about wine and restaurant management. He is super professional and the clients just love him. With Joey Nader (manager) they are making a very good crew.
Executive chef Marcel Vignion is one of the best I've met. His sauces for the food are the reason to perfection your finger leaking techniques. I have tried almost everything on this menu and I was never disappointed. As you might know, it is very hard for a chef to compliment another chef but his menu here is exceptional. To mention a few must try things: Thai Red Curry Coconut Soup, the variety of salads, Grilled Loch Duart Salmon, fresh penne, Angus Natural Beef Lion Filet, Seasonal Mussels, amazing chicken dishes and of course very interesting desserts . Back the bar collection there are premium beers, 50 different wines by the glass and 280 bottles of wines (italian, french, californian, south american wines and selective private wineries), and a nice collection of martinis are on the menu>
I must mention one more person, that is the creator of this amazing place the owner Steve Hamile who is always greeting the customers.
