I hate to be too snobby, but if you are from L.A. you will hate this place.
We made a late reservation, got a nice corner table upstairs. Its dark inside, tables a little cramped downstairs, not upstairs. They have a sleek but simple small wine/cheese bar and a regular bar, both downstairs.
The food is served tapas style (little ""bites"" you share) and it is excellent: its avant-garde french cuisine with a wine menu to match (...see? its snooty). If you don't like tasting new food the way the chef wants you to, or if you can't understand why a resturant can't just make a simple steak/pasta/salad for you, then don't bother with this place. Here you pay alot to (1)try new things and (2)enjoy the company you are with. I did both here, and loved it. My credit card hated it, but we knew what was coming.
Pros: Excellent Food, Amazing WineSelection, Good date dinner
Cons: Very pricey, Small Portions, Pretentious
