After a year in LA where upscale food was considered a taco stand with chairs, I’m off to Patina. Any suggestions on what’s best? (13 replies, last updated by Fidelixi March 14, 2002)

I’d like to compare notes with anyone who has been to the new Patina in Disney Hall. I’d like to think that my less than wonderful experience was a fluke. The room was attractive. The square plates look sleek but make... (7 replies, last updated by Griller141 March 1, 2004)

Last Friday we finally made it out to Patina. Overall it was a solid restaurant despite a few missteps. We had both the Ocean Menu and the Chef’s Menu with wine pairings. The menu in brief: Ocean Menu 1: Quartet of the Sea... (5 replies, last updated by slacker August 15, 2007)

I know that Patina gets dissed quite often on this board, but to me it’s always been one of my favorite restaurants in LA. I go there more often for lunch than dinner, but last night I had the opportunity to do the latter... (13 replies, last updated by russkar October 21, 2006)

Went to Patina for my second time for lunch today. Horrible. Had half a dozen oysters, which were served over a ton of salt, perhaps to cover up the fact that they were not fresh. Yuck. Worse, one type of oysters that was served... (13 replies, last updated by dtud July 3, 2006)

Just wondered if anyone here has been to the new Patina location downtown. A friend has a birthday coming up, and she’d love to go – but only if it’s still as good as it was before it moved! (2 replies, last updated by sqrl November 22, 2003)

We will be going to the Disney Hall tonight and mom wants to eat at Patina Grill (or whatever that outdoor place is called in the Music Center Mall area). Does anyone have any suggestions of what is good? TIA! (6 replies, last updated by Amanda February 16, 2006)

I just called Patina to make a reservation for 4 on Friday . (Thought I would try my luck & see what happened.). The Reservationist told me their computers were down , had been for 2 days & please try back in 2 days to see if... (4 replies, last updated by Alison April 28, 2004)

We decided it had been too long since our last trip to Patina. I hate to admit that I had not been there since the extensive remodeling. From the outside it now looks more like a fine restaurant than the apartment building that... (6 replies, last updated by Just Larry April 22, 2002)

I’m going to a concert at Walt Disney Hall on Friday night and made a reservation at Patina based on its proximity and also what the name used to mean. I’ve never been but have read several mixed reviews recently and... (9 replies, last updated by HWOODHUNK May 19, 2009)

I think the food at Patina is better, although I haven’t been in a while. The food at Cafe Pinot is good and sometimes very good, but it’s nothing amazing. The setting is beautiful, though. Have you considered Water... (11 replies, last updated by dtud November 8, 2008)

Trying to decide if we should go to Patina or Campanile for Thanksgiving dinner. Has anyone been to either? Campanile seems a bit more traditional; their dinner is $65, and Patina's is $55. The Campanile website is down but below... (9 replies, last updated by maxzook November 24, 2008)
