Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Suzanne Goin

MICHELIN Plate2022

From the OpenTable editors: AOC isn’t just a classic because of James Beard Award-winning chef Suzanne Goin’s California-French food, it also has one of the most beautiful patios in town. It’s pure romance, outfitted with a wood-fired hearth, trees, and ivy curling up the side of the restaurant. It’s the ideal place to linger over bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with Parmesan and clams sherry with green garlic—as well as a glass from co-owner Caroline Styne’s deep wine list.

The Food was under-seasoned and underwhelming. Drinks and ambience are above average.

Overrated. Honestly we have had a couple bad experiences here but we wanted to give them another chance because we used to love this place, but, the service was terrible (we didn’t even know who our server actually was) and it’s supposed to be shared plates but everything took forever to come out so you couldn’t really pair plates together. The food is good, however, it’s not even close to being worth what you’re paying for it, and just all around weird vibes from the staff all night.

Without doubt, one of LA’s, if not California’s best places to dine. The menu is consistently inventive and delicious, and the staff always makes you feel like you are “coming home,”. Brunch was so marvelous yesterday that we are going back for an encore today!
AOC - 3rd StreetResponded on 19 February 2025
Thanks, Amy. We think you're one of California's best diners!

We left hungry. I never complain but the portions were actually offensive. I don’t mind paying for a nice dinner but they actively tried to rip people off on Valentine’s Day

Food was great, drinks were great, service was excellent. The Valentine’s Day fixed menu felt overpriced for two people.
AOC - 3rd StreetResponded on 28 February 2025
Diego, So glad you endjoyed!! Cost increases all around - as I'm sure you're seeing everywhere - have made in harder and harder for us to keep menus pricing where we've always liked it. Completely understand your comment. Please be assured though, that we are now and will continue to be dedicated to giving the best possible value even in the face of rising expenses. Thanks for sharing and very appreciative of all the kind words and the five stars!

Maybe it is because it’s Valentine’s Day. I was expecting everything we ate would be really good. The only thing my wife and I liked was the halibut. Perfectly cooked and excellent flavor.

Sorry you won't completely happy with the Valentine menu but pleased to know that you enjoyed your halibut. Hopefully you'll be back with us soon and can sample from the full a la carte menu.
