I recently moved to LA and a friend recommended this place on a shortlist of top places to eat in the West Hollywood area. I've gone back twice already. The place is pricey, and each time we spent about $100/head on moderate drinking, but the food is great and ambiance really good. The room is always busy, but you can have a conversation which is key. The garden in the back is lovely. The food is rich rich rich, and if you want a salad and a fish you've got precisely one choice of each. So go there on weekends when all (my) diet rules are null and void.
