My wife and I enjoyed our dinner very much. The food was delicious and interesting. The service was excellent and thoughtful. We will definitely return and will bring friends. Bacari is a nice addition to the neighborhood. We each ordered a main course and we shared two sides, which was ample. We couldn’t resist dessert, and it was worth it!

A.O.C. is a Los Angeles treasure! Their Lucques Sunday Supper was the most luxuriously delicious comfort food... I'm going to say it... on the PLANET! Decadent, thoughtful, scrumptious. And their mocktail game is so strong, not to mention their astute knowledge and honoring of wine. Brittany and Laura's hospitality were so kind and attentive. You can't achieve higher! Please treat yourself to a visit to A.O.C. and you'll join the club of why I am (like so many Los Angelenos) such a fan of Chef Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne.
