Joachim Splichal's downtown glass house cafe is about as good as it gets. Although it is perfect for a meal before the theater, this place is worth the drive just for the meal alone. The steak fries are perfect, the chicken is delicious, and the lamb is so tender you can forget your knife. During nice weather, diners enjoy the patio, which is by far one of the lovelier spots in this part of the...

The quality of work was superior; much better than any other contractor because you have a shafran construction. The materials used were of high quality. The workmen were polite,knowledgeable and always explained in detail when you have any questions. Every aspect of this project was a pleasure and the finished results are fantastic.

Diners "delight" to this "Downtown hideaway" from Joachim Splichal providing "wonderful upscale Cal-French" dishes and "very good" wines that fit the "pre-theater" bill (plus servers are adept in "getting you out in time" for the show); most distinctively, the "tranquil" patio "overlooking the gardens" of the Central Library "adds a magical element" that makes it "worth the price tag."

Los Angeles' 20 Most Underrated Restaurants, Mapped

Generally, the same establishments are included in these compilations: Animal, Gjelina, Spago, or Providence. What even makes a place "underrated"? It's the one that most people don't think of first when recommending a...

Cuisine as we know it would not be where it is without the influence of French cooking, its techniques and methods, thanks to generations of great chefs and restaurateurs. LA may no...

A Comprehensive Guide to Valentine's Day Dining in LA

Arguably the biggest dining night of the year, Valentine's Day is a spectacle to be seen by diners both seasoned and amateur. Dates dress up in their fanciest garb, flowers in hand, perfume sprayed, hair curled and ready for a night on the town. Restaurants know their part — pricey prix-fixe menus that make it easy to choose the evening's array of aphrodisiacs. Lovers and would-be-lovers toast...

A Guide to Christmas Dinners in Los Angeles

Christmas is always a festive time to meet with family and friends over great food and drinks. Sometimes that's in the comfort of someone's home, but there are also plenty of seasonally inspired menus and dishes put forth by restaurants around the city, some with traditional European slants such as the Feast of Seven Fishes. Either way, it takes the stress away from some who don't want to...

Great place for business lunch. Quiet and good service. Sat outside and enjoyed the fresh air- ok as fresh as air can be in LA.
