I often wonder if Virbila resides on the same planet as I do, as her recent LA Times review suggests Patina is something extraordinary. On the contrary, my recent group lunch experience was anything but. Our menu started with a...

Hounds, My husband and I are dining at the new Patina this weekend for our anniversary. We are being comped, due to a connection. We’ve never been there, and read some derrogatory comments on this board recently about it,...

Visiting LA in a few weeks and plan to have one high-end dinner. Thinking of eating at Patina, but wanted to get some opinions, before taking the plunge. Comparable to the likes of Daniel, French Laundry, Gary Danko, etc.?...

Went to Patina tonight, rather reluctantly after the last few forays, which were less than spectacular (except for the one predictably spectacular aspect: the bill). The “tomato prix fixe menu” was as unexpected as it...

Although we most frequently home-cook our picnics for the Hollywood Bowl or get boxed picnics to-go (excellent from Bistro Garden) we’ve been entertaining clients in our box this summer and have ordered from the Patina...

Well it certainly isn’t Swill Hut, the restaurant they operate in my building. Swill Hut is otherwise known as "C2 Café brought to by the folks at Patina Group." Awful, awful disgusting food. The Spichals should either beg...

just food or total experience? Just food- Maybe Water grill, total experience PATINA no doubt. Especially for dinner. If you are not paying go to PATINA! No doubt. Propose Providence versus Patina and you might get a different...

SO took me to Patina for my birthday last night and we had an excellent meal. I was a little concerned after reading some not-so-flattering posts here, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good everything was. I had asparagus...

I’m headed to Patina (finally) this Saturday for an anniversary dinner. I’ve tried both search engines Chowhound offers and I can’t find the report and pics from Perceptor! Anyone able to help?

Hey everyone! Here are my thoughts on Patina and Blair’s. ==Patina (located at Walt Disney Concert Hall)== After hearing mixed reviews about Patina, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but thankfully, from start to finish, it...

For those of you who work in the CC area, the Patina Group Food Court opened today in front of the twin towers (2029 & 2049 CPE). Lots of options: terrific looking salad bar, asian stand, mexican stand, pizza/pasta and grill. I had...

Anyone been to the newly opened Patina? Has gotten some good press lately, touting a “renewal”,etc. Wondering if anyone who’s been recently has any opinions.

I must have been living under a rock or something – I just heard that Patina is doing truffle dinners next week. I guess it’s an annual event for them – is anyone going this year/has anyone gone before? I called...

Spago... NO QUESTION. Patina is horribly inconsistent, though when they’re on, they’re great... but it is a HUGE gamble. L’Orangerie is shaky right now... although I’ve had awesome meals there, just a...

by Coconut sorbet and Tangerine foam. Mignardises including a Grape Marshmellow and a Tomato chew All the food was superlative. I haven’t eaten at Patina since the remodel of the old Melrose location and was not expecting an...
