Dark and Cozy Wine Bar
Tasca has a selection of rich phenomenal food and tasy wines. The restaurant is dark, romantic and cozy; it's not good for parties or kids. Instead, it's more of a special occasion or date place. Although its literally a block away from AOC, it's a world away on the inside; it is decidedly not a scene place. Don't let this fool you; the service, food and prices are all great! The only problem is parking. 3rd street between La Cienega and Fairfax is probably the only stretch of road in LA with more valets than normal spots (which are typically poached by the valets.) Plan on either parking in one of the few spaces in the back or on a sidestreet by a meter and walking a block or two...but it's worth it!
