1. Providence
Los Angeles, CA 90038
(323) 460-4170
Categories:
American (New),
Seafood,
Asian Fusion
Neighbourhood: Mid Wilshire
Perfectection. 6 courses of euphoria.
Providence is a perfect little restaurant off of Melrose, and has a very relaxed vibe. The inside decor almost reminds me of being in a H. Murakami book. Not so much in the bizarre way, but those random…More »
2. Barbrix
Los Angeles, CA 90027
(323) 662-2442
Categories:
Wine Bars,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Silver Lake
In my dictionary, the term Barbrix is synonymous with a delicious meal.
Upon arrival, the restaurant is easy to miss. It looks like a house or cottage or something quaint and cozy. The exterior of the establishment has a rustic appeal, with a…More »
3. Raku
Las Vegas, NV 89146
(702) 367-3511
Category:
Japanese
Neighbourhood: Chinatown
Thank you, Raku, for such a delightful dinner, though it would probably be more suitable to describe it as a wonderful experience. Everything from your great service to dish presentation to flavor was impeccable.
The meal started with a wonderful…More »
4. Avec
Chicago, IL 60606
(312) 377-2002
Avec, oh Avec. I was going to leave Chicago thinking that the town had nothing to offer in the culinary aspect. I mean, I went to a Spanish tapas place people raved about and found it quite disappointing. I went to Top Chef Rick Bayless's…More »
5. Restaurant Komasa
Los Angeles, CA 90012
(213) 680-1792
Categories:
Sushi Bars,
Japanese
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Little Tokyo
Word of advice: Don't get the sashimi combos. You get what you pay for.
The cuts a la carte are waaaaaaaaay fatter, fresher, and more delicious.

I have never had beef or crab in my life before my meal at Kagaya.
Ten stars. Not five.
Arrived at Kagaya around 740PM, before our 8PM reservation, but were seated promptly. There were a couple groups waiting outside. Inside, every seat was…More »
7. Jazz Cat Restaurant
Time for an update!
I haven't been back in so long...
The seats are now regular height so you don't need to be a giant to enjoy personal hot pot!
Hokkaido milk tea is back so you don't have to grumble about not having milk tea!
And the shabu set is…More »

Lounges

The Wellesbourne is a large civil parish in the county of Warwickshire, in the West Midlands region of the UK. At least this is what Wikipedia tells me. Not that I was ever confused where I was. I think if I could use a couple words to describe…More »

Categories:
Japanese,

Yuzu is... love.
Yuzu is one of those places you walk into wondering if there will be anyone inside because from the outside, it looks as though it could be empty. But rest assured, it has wonderfully dim modern ambiance inside, full of Japanese…More »
11. Amandine Patisserie
If you come before 10:30, you can't order a croque madame since it isn't "brunch" time yet.
If you come after 10:30, they likely will have already sold out of almond croissants.
I never truly understood the phrase "you cannot have it all" until now.…More »

Culver City, CA 90232
(310) 558-0436
Category:
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: Culver City
When I have a couple extra minutes in the morning, I like to swing by this cute little cafe. It is usually overridden with the studious, smart looking hippy types of the modern side of Culver, a la Dwell magazine.
Expect teas seeped at the right…More »

Class 302 ain't got nothing on Blockheads.
It might be a bold statement. But, a true one, nonetheless.
Why? It isn't too sweet. But if it isn't sweet enough for you, add toppings, no problem! And black sesame ice is a positively definite check…More »

I am in love with Chef Bailly! I usually try to grab a seat inside where I can watch him do his magic, though in a non-stalker and non-gazing way.
For brunch, the awesome chef makes delightful dishes with his own twist. I did very much like the…More »

Bricks and scones is a wonderful oasis for people studying, reading, or just hanging around chatting with friends. There is ample room upstairs, inside and on the patio, though it can get quite packed. The best idea is to come around lunch time on…More »

'Heaven, I'm in heaven. And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak. And I seem to find the happiness I seek. When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.'

If you haven't tried the jalapeño bacon cheddar flavor. You have not lived, my friend.

22. Sea Harbour Seafood Restaurant

26. LudoBites 5.0 - CLOSED
I think Ludobites attacks every single taste you could think of. A bit of salty, a bit of sweet, a bit of tangy, and a bit o' Jesus. I mean, I'm not trying to be sacrilegious or use the name in vain here, but CLEARLY, there is something going on…More »
