Overview:

Gjelina is a the name that jumps off everyone’s tongue when you ask about restaurants in Los Angeles. On hip Abbot Kinney in Venice, they are a little too cool for school, but the food is warm and inviting. Either way, the Sunny Duck Egg will brighten up your brunch.

Overview:

What a great throwback, serving classic comfort foods. Sandwiches are not only a meal but an experience. The dessert cases will make you drool upon entry. Great place to start a shopping excursion through all the vintage furniture shops and galleries on North Palm.

Special Dishes:

Reuben and smoked salmon

I was a little late to the party – Au Cheval has been open for months. And everyone has been raving. The best part of these pics is that they really speak for themselves. The liberal use of herbs is a bonus.

We ordered the Salmon Rilette with brioche, a perfect egg and pickles, a burger and super crispy frites with garlic aioli. The burger was perfect with two patties of heaven; it was love on a bun.

Special Dishes:

Salmon Rilette, Burger

On Watch312 we recently checked out some fun sushi spots. Midori, up on Bryn Mawr, has been serving sushi and other Japanese dishes since the 80s. Chef Roberto is the main attraction – rocking the sushi bar.

The Dynamite Shrimp is one of the most popular and best selling dishes. It has spice to it – but is also fresh with shrimp flavor.

Gorgeous sushi rolls made by Chef Roberto. My Favorite is the Green Line Maki with eel shrimp, cucumber tempuraki rice, spicy sauce with hot wasabi tobiko.

Special Dishes:

Green Line Maki, Dynamite Shrimp

Overview:

Arami was recently named one of the best new sushi spots in the US by Bon Appetit. Chef BK Park never disappoints with his selections of the freshest ingredients and playful plating, all in a simple neighborhood setting where the food really pops.

Favorites bits and bites:

The Toro Tartar Bite is precisely minced fatty tuna with scallions and asian pear for crunch.

Spicy Maguro roll with a secret sauce. Why are secret sauces always so intriguing and addictive?

Beautiful presentations with fresh floral and decor that BK swiped from one of the arrangements at the restaurant.

Special Dishes:

Toro Tartar Bite, Spicy Maguro Roll
