    We visited the San Laurel for the Thanksgiving experience. We were so pleased they could accommodate our 24 hour notice. Our table was outside on the 10th floor with a gorgeous view of the city lights and neighboring Disney Concert Hall. They provided blankets and a heat lamp to add to the cozy ambiance! The service was impeccable and food and wine pairings were spot on. Each course was a delight to our taste buds. Would highly recommend this restaurant .

    I am absolutely thrilled about the reopening of Somni! Four years ago, I felt very sad when I heard the news of its closure. Somni is irreplaceable among all the restaurants in Los Angeles and has always held the top spot in my heart. When I knew that Somni was coming back, I was filled with excitement and emotion. After months of anticipation, I can finally indulge in this feast for the eyes and palate once again. Hope Somni continues to thrive and flourish!

    Great pick after visiting the Enchanted Forest of Lights at Descanso Gardens. Friendly, knowledgeable service able to help our 'wine guy' get the flavors he was seeking. We (4) selected a few tapas and an entree, decided we needed one more dish and everyone enjoyed all the variety and felt they had enough to eat. Food came out with relaxed spacing. Even on a drizzly night the covered patio with heat lamps was comfortable.
