I went into Petite Comptoir on a Saturday morning on a whim, as I've lived right around the corner and had RARELY seen anyone inside. When I walked by to go to work one morning, there were people eating! I went in and got something small, a slice of Brown Butter cake. It was HEAVENLY. I've never had true butter cake, only Jeni's Gooey Butter Cake, and these two were vastly different and the same. This Butter cake was perfectly moist, with a toothsome crispier crust on the bottom from browning on the cake pan. The top was this soft, slightly subtle vanilla tasting buttery goodness and I ate it very fast. I will be coming back to try the eggs and espresso.

EDIT: went in to try an egg dish and was blown away! Soft French style scrambled egg texture, salty prosciutto, semi sweet, nutty emmentaler cheese on fried sourdough with fresh dill and chives garnished on top. A cappuccino finished off my breakfast and the whole thing was lovely! This place has definitely become my favorite place to eat on Saturday mornings when I'm home alone. Chef Gary Menes is so nice, and I love his interactions with guests.

Small and quaint place inside Hotel Normandie. The food was fine, expected more for how much it cost. It became a bit repetitive at some point and I was still hungry afterwards. Without any add-ons, it seemed to be a fully vegetarian menu.

Wow. The best 1 Michelin star I’ve been to, even better than some 2 stars.

The story telling and seeing the chef and apprentices cook and plate a few feet away from me was amazing. Service was excellent.

My favorites were the corn soup, the lobster (supplement), truffle pasta (supplement), the beef (supplement), and the cheese. Their supplements were actually better than their vegetable mains. If you’re going with +1, I recommend that you choose different dishes between the two of you so to taste everything.

Wine pairing was also fantastic. I shared a pairing with my partner.

Most guests were wearing smart casual such as button down and jeans for guys or blouses for the ladies.

If you like fine dining and vegetables there is no better option in LA. The meal was amazing but the show was just as good. Getting to watch chef cook and plate every dish specially the fruit and vegetable plate was a really awesome experience

Underbar middag på en av de första restaurangerna i LA som fick en Michelinstjärna vi de kom in redan 2019. Kocken Gary Menes tränade under stora kockar i hela New York och Frankrike. 8 rätters måltiden var fenomenal. Varje kurs var självständig och speciell. Smakerna var fantastiska. Litet intimt utrymme - bänk sittplatser - så att du kan titta på magi. Rekommenderar starkt.

Du får en väl genomtänkt - ut avsmakningsmeny, alla - veg som standard, men med kött alternativ om du är benägen. Fransk teknik och såser, färska råvaror. Det är en kocks vision, en förstklassig restaurang reducerad till väsentligheter.

Vi sitter först på lördagskvällen. Min vän hade aldrig sådan erfarenhet med speciell presentation och vinparing, men jag gjorde mycket. . .
Bra mat var OK, jag blev överraskad av mycket bra recension. Ja det är väldigt trevligt och unik erfarenhet för koreansk stadskvalitet och förväntningar, men $ 250 per person om du vill [para det med vin (valt för dig) gör det då. . . Jag skulle gå någon annanstans. Jag tyckte om musik, men vissa människor gjorde inte eftersom det är svårt att prata, och du måste gilla det. Jag förstår och uppskattar viner, urvalet var OK. En presentatör, jag gissar co - Chef misspoke på Pinot Blanc och Noir, ta bort från en klassupplevelse. . .

Början av middag, kock tar dig från Normandie Hotel, det är historisk byggnad och hotell, men det är 3 stjärniga anläggning med mycket nedsläckt, så lite chockerande för vissa. . . Du kan (om du sitter först) ha vissa komplementära vinsmaking på hotellet när du väntar, men publiken är läskig och jag tror att det kan skämma bort många datum. . .

Det är inte mycket historia bakom varje maträtt, så jag vet inte om jag skulle ge den ännu 4 stjärna för erfarenhet, potioner är små, alla grönsaker (kött är tilläggspris). . . beviljas ekologisk, fräsch från gården, men när jag bad om en bit bröd för att avsluta min maträtt, var deras svar att allt var förklarat och de kan inte spara ett stycke för mig. . .

Kaffe presenterades som den dyraste i världen, jag vet inte om det var brist på konditori, men talar om äcklig smak. . .

Kul plats i koreatown nära hotell normandie, cassell hamburgare. Intim räknare för 8 + personer. Amazing Farm - to - Table Åtta kursen + amuse bouche Vegetarisk smakprovning med alternativ för fisk och skaldjur, fläsk eller ost. Jag fick köttbytesbyte för 7: e kursen och ångrade inte det en bit. Fantastisk upplevelse, mycket tillfredsställande, som att ha din egen privat middag fest med en mästare kock / jordbrukare. Vinflygningen väljs personligen av kocken och introducerade mig till några mycket smakrika viner som jag aldrig har hört talas om tidigare. Tack igen!

En sådan spännande upplevelse och gourmetbåt att äta middag på "The Counter"! Vi lyckades helt och hållet att få en sista minuten reservation förra fredagen. Försök att anlända några minuter tidigt för att placeras i ankomstordning när sätetiden kommer. På det här sättet kommer du att vara i full synhållning för att bevittna matberedningen och plätering precis framför dig. Kocken Gary Menes, hans lärlingassistent och diskmaskinen (en tyst hjälpare som ständigt rör sig som stekpannor, tallrikar och vinglas, kurs efter kursen, virvlar genom hela måltiden) upphör aldrig med sin lugna och avsiktliga dans av perfektion för 2 5 timmar, som du tittar på, smutta och njut av varje god bit.
