Went to the Bowl on Saturday night to see John Williams music show (great, BTW). Our group of four people each ordered a different prix fixe meal. So I can report on all four of the options offered. Overall, it’s a decent...

Many of you probably have heard that Patina has hired Tony Esnault (former exec chef at Ducasse’s Adour) to be the new executive chef at Patina. Since I had tickets for a concert at Disney Hall, I decided to check it out....

I just found out the Patina Group may be changing their corkage policy as of 1/1/08. I don’t know all the corkages for each location, but Nick & Stef’s is now $8. Of course that is still very reasonable and not at all...

Any recommendations off their lunch menu? Dessert? Thanks!

Isn’t it usually the last week of January that they do the special 3-course $20.0X lunch and 3-course $30.0X dinner? anyone heard?

Hello fellow Hounds, I am organizing a group event at Disney Hall in downtown that will include a lunch for 40 people at the new Patina Any recent experiences there? Must-have dishes? Must-avoid dishes? Thanks for any input!

I did a search for Patina in Yahoo’s yellow page in the Los Angeles area. Two Patina Restaurant listings came up. Which one is the one that this board talks about, the high end restaurant? One is on Hope Street. One is on...

Help! We are being comped at Patina Sat. night, and although it wasn’t our first choice based on recent negative postings here, a comp is a comp! Having said that, is there anything you’d recommend ordering that has...

an impromptu lunch at the new PATINA. The room, as many might say, sings and puts a smile on your face with its lightness and sense of fun. Started with a pumpkin soup for $10 that had just the right flavor and silkiness. A...

Has anyone tried Patina since their new chef Tony Esnault joined? I had a horrible experience at one of Splichal’s other restaurant many years ago, and never been compelled to try Patina; but I am now intrigued with this...

My husband and I eat everything. Any suggestions on what to order from the current menu at Patina?

Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo. Just returned from DineLA lunch at Patina. Had never been before, was dying to try, can now say that I will probably never return. I went with a group of seven people. Two couldn’t find an appetizer...

There is a new place on this block but it has no signage in front. Clearly a fine dining establishment with the white tablecloths and candles on the tables but I have no idea what this is. Does anyone know? I’ve only been...

We’re doing an LA Phil concert with a friend who’s also celebrating a birthday and he appreciates a good meal. Anyone have ideas that go beyond the usual downtown suggestions I’ve seen on older Hounds threads (...
