The food is very good, the service is excellent, the decor is okay. But serious wine folks will be disappointed to learn that they can't bring their own wine...period. The wine list is loaded with very young, mostly over-priced bottles. The white is served at refrigerator temperature, and the reds are stacked around the too-warm room. Looks nice, but room temperature does not really mean 75+ degrees. When we questioned the manager about the policy, he did not have a good reason for it, and shrugged when told that virtually all other restaurants in Los Angeles welcome wine geeks and their bottles, including the esteemed Valentino, Spago, La Cachette, La Terza, Patina, and the list goes on. \r

Too bad, because they had some other good things on the menu that I would have liked to try.
Pros: good food, good service
Cons: no corkage, wines overpriced and too cold or too warm
