Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Downtown

Wonderful food and ambience. We really enjoyed the special Thanksgiving service. Parking was easy, noting the $12 valet charge +2$ with card to simply park behind the restaurant. Waiters were very fast and professional. Rest rooms were clean. Nice selection of alcohol free cocktails. Noise level moderate when busy so table conversation can be hard if your hearing isn’t in top form.

Everyone was very kind, attentive, and friendly during our Thanksgiving Lunch! I really appreciated the attentive service and was very happy with the experience, the food, and the staff! Everyone was exceptional & welcoming.

Four of us had the Vegan Afternoon Tea. It was wonderful and the best we have ever had. We have had Afternoon Teas in Los Angeles, NYC, Paris, London, San Francisco and Toronto. This was by far the best and it was without compromise. There were no eliminating ingredients to make it vegan and no funny textures in the sweets. What a find!

Their menu changes completely every few months, but we've been going regularly for over 2 years, and have never had a bad meal. We've always had good service as well. Although not inexpensive, their meals offer a reasonable value compared to other restaurants within easy walking distance of the Chandler Pavilion/Music Center.

This was our first time to see a performance of the LA OPERA. I wanted to have dinner before the performance and felt that something at the Music Center itself would be best because of the traffic. Good call. Viewing the menu in advance of our evening, it seemed good but frankly, I had only moderate expectations. Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! We started dinner out with a shared Caesar Salad which was excellent and the bread was fantastic. For dinner, my wife had the Steak Frites and I had the Brick1/2 Chicken. They were both superb. Our server was extremely polite and attentive. The noise level was low. You can talk and actually hear what the other person is saying. This is going to be our new go-to restaurant prior to attending performances.
