Dalida
Steven invited me to lunch (and we had some work things to talk through). I threw him some options and he picked Dalida. The only other time I went here was almost 2 years ago, so I was glad to revisit. We ordered a la carte (there is a prix fixe lunch that looked pretty…

Californios
Booked this right after the announcements for their 3rd star. This is Andrea’s favorite restaurant so this was our 8th visit together (9th visit for me) going back to 2019 when they were still in the Mission. I hadn’t realized we hadn’t been here since last May (I was here in November) until I looked…

We were looking for something a little more low key and since we were in LA we were hoping to get some tasty Mexican food (unlike our failed attempt last trip down here). I found this place not too far from our hotel with open reservations and more importantly it was founded by Enrique Olvera…

Hayato
I admit I am sometimes drawn to the challenge of getting a reservation at a place that is reported to be difficult. This one was difficult to get a reservation upon release, but wasn’t too difficult on waitlist. In fact, i received an reservation offer several months in a row from waitlist, but kept declining,…

Savoca
We arrived mid-day in LA and just needed something to nibble on. We were staying at the Ritz, but it’s interesting since the building is shared with the JW Marriott. The JW occupies all of the lower floors and this area with the restaurants, etc. and the upper floors are the Ritz (there is a…
