A primer on Persian, a.k.a. Iranian, food.

Been to SONA 3 times for the 9 course Chefs Menu, will not be returning, totally underwhelmed ea time. Providence, been 30+ times always wonderful. Chef’s Table , 12 courses. other options are OPUS , Melisse, La Cachette,...

thumbs up? thumbs down? Recent impressions?

've ate at Providence (amazing), Hotel Bel Air Restaurant (beautiful), the former Dining Room at Pasadena Ritz, and Water Grill. Patina, Sona & Melissa are on my list to try but I cannot decide which one for next month. Any...

Without a doubt Sona! There is nothing special about La Botte; usual Italian fare that’s prepared decently and an arrogant wine list. To be fair, this is based on one experience over a year ago. As for Sona, I was highly...

Although I haven’t been to Melisse or Ortolan yet (will be going soon) I have always had great experiences at Sona.

There’s lots of discussion about these two restaurants, but most of it dates back to last year and the year before. I’m looking for a current, 2008 review and comparison. Have you been to Sona recently? Providence?...

Want to have a romantic, foodie-worthy dinner with the S.O. pre-Valentine’s day — narrowed it down to La Terza and Sona. I’ve never been to either. Weighing food experience and ambience, which would you choose?

I am going with a group of 6 this Thursday night for dinner. Does anyone know of this place? I wi was the Sona on La Cienega but it is the one on Ventura Blvd.. CitySearch and Yelp reviewers gave it very poor marks. What do the...

Considering taking Mr. Bite-Bite to Sona for his birthday. Have heard mixed things and would love to get some Hound opinions. He loved French Laundry but did not love Providence — found it too fussy and the tastes a little...

I’m traveling up from San Diego and have read many good reviews for Table 8, AOC, Sona we only have time for one. Any suggestions?

Sona, period!

I know Sona has been dissed alot on the boards of late, but I’m eating there tonight on the company’s dime. So, any menu recs? Thanks, hounds!

I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things about Sona. Any advice on what to order/what not to order? Are there prix fixe or tasting menus? Wine pairings? Are they worth it? Where’s the best place to sit with a date?...
