No. 6 of Fine Dining  in Los Angeles

Nobu Los Angeles is pure perfection &mdash; hands down one of the best dining experiences I&#39;ve ever had! 🌟 The moment you step in, the sleek, modern ambiance with its warm lighting, stylish decor, and buzzing yet intimate energy sets the tone for something special.We started with the legendary Yellowtail Jalape&ntilde;o &mdash; fresh, buttery sashimi slices topped with just the right kick of jalape&ntilde;o and cilantro, drizzled in that signature ponzu Absolute heaven in every bite! Then came the Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna &mdash; crunchy, addictive, and perfectly balanced. But the star of the show? The Black Cod Miso &mdash; melt-in-your-mouth tender, caramelized to golden perfection with that sweet-savory umami explosion that Nobu made famous. Paired with some fresh sushi and creative sides like crispy okra, every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with innovative Japanese-Peruvian flavors.The service was impeccable &mdash; attentive without being overbearing, and the staff really knew the menu. Whether you&#39;re celebrating or just treating yourself, this place delivers an unforgettable, upscale vibe. It&#39;s worth every penny and more &mdash; I&#39;ll be dreaming about that black cod until my next visit! Highly recommend sitting at the sushi bar if you can. 10/10, no notes. Nobu never disappoints! 🍣🔥

No. 15 of Fine Dining  in Los Angeles

Carlitos Gardel is a fantastic steakhouse with an incredible atmosphere that feels both intimate and welcoming. The attention to detail in service truly enhances the dining experience.

I recently dined at Koi in Los Angeles and was thoroughly impressed by the entire experience. The ambiance was elegant and serene, with soft lighting and stylish decor that made it perfect for a romantic evening. The food was exceptional&mdash;especially the crispy rice with spicy tuna and the miso bronzed black cod, which were both beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Service was attentive and warm, with staff making thoughtful recommendations and ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout the night. While the prices are on the higher side, the quality of the dishes and the overall atmosphere made it well worth it. Koi is definitely a go-to spot for special occasions or when you&#39;re craving upscale Japanese cuisine.

Such a disappointment- great views over LA but zero for service from the car jockeys to the outside desk to the inside desk to the waiters &hellip; and 1 out of 10 for the food - boy was it bad: pasty salmon nigiri and stringy inedible asparagus and broccolini! The wine list needs a thorough revamping too - G&amp;T was awful and the reds by the glass low quality. Will take the Griffith observatory for the views and will never come here again!
