I’ve been meaning to check out La Tache in Andersonville for a while now. I recently heard that the former chef left to take over Trio’s new incarnation. Has anyone been there recently? Is it still at the same level...

It’s been a little over a month since the last review of La Tache. Since that review was mostly “eh” (see link below), I will post mine since it is somewhat better. I went to La Tache on Saturday night with Mrs....

According to Morsels, "The neighborhood has discovered La Tache", the new upscale French bistro at 1475 W. Balmoral Ave (in the location of the old Dellwood Pickle). As a more clueless denizen of the neighborhood, I had no idea a...

, but to me, this is in perfect drinking shape right now. Up until the next wine of the evening, this was probably the best wine I’d had in over a year. 94.5 1997 DRC La Tache When first opened, this was very stemmy. But as...

Just reporting on my food shift last night and early this morning. Started at 7pm at LaTache-Great ambience, even the bathroom, dark wood, small tiled floors, white table clothes, etc. Good stirred dry Bombay Saphhire Martini...

I love the Pacific Dining Car in down town L.A. Been there since the 20’s, 24/7, great dry aged beef, excellent wine list. old world vibe. expensive.

To poorly paraphrase a famous line from Star Trek: LA Mill takes the traditional coffee house “boldly… where no man has gone before.” We stopped by today to try the coffee we so loved at Hatfield’s and taste their...

Can someone recommend a place that is unique to LA that has great food? Was thinking it would be great to be “California” style cuisine but we are open to other types of food if it is a great place.

I will be in LA for 24 hours in April (prior to a flight to Thailand). My friend and I will be staying at the Beverly Hills Hilton (will take taxi anywhere for good food). I am a total foodie and want to make sure to hit the...

I’ve heard a lot about Grits (in movies & such) and I’m curious to try them out. Any recommendations for places where I can get some good ol grits in LA? Thanks in advance! P.S. If this has been covered recently, please...

I visited LA MILL on its first day of paying business – work precluded my visiting on the freebie day – and I left with a less-than-favorable impression. The espresso drinks were miniscule, the pastries were boring,...

Luna Park on La Brea has a really good version of mac & cheese with broccoli, and you can have it with or without Neuske Smoked Ham.
