Many greasy spoons offer zero atmosphere with 100% comfort food. Finer dining offers superb presentation, the finest ingredients, sensual atmosphere and compromise nothing. One of the most creative new restaurants Foxtail is all ambiance and features European bistro fare. Foxtail is so exclusive you cant even take a look around, you need a reservation just to even get in the door. Dishes by Top Chef Antonia Lofaso include selections featuring artisan cheese plates, roasted chicken with caramelized fennel yet down home nostalgia such as warm cookies and warm milk. If the marble tables, plush armchairs and stained glass are quite boring to you, you can check out Foxtails plush nightclub if you are lucky to get in. This is old school Hollywood glamour at its finest.

Its not just all about the food anymore as Akasha boast its eco friendly location as Barbara Streisands former chef features organic and sustainable food, superb wine and decor and very visually appealing wait staff wearing organic cotton Levis. For carnivores they still cater wild pepper scallops, pork chops with sambazon acai to round off your palatte. Like many eccentric blends, this healthy organic offering has very scarce reservations and evenings can be loud as no one wants to leave. Akasha has a bakery counter with teak communal tables to enjoy coffees, organic teas and a plethora of gourmet baked goods.

If you are looking the most sophisticated and flavorful cuisine in the world, you could take a trip to Northern Italy or join Chef Alberto at Melograno. Although set in the shadow of the most prolific clubbing scene of Hollywood Boulevard, you must experience the ambiance in the Murano lamps, service in white linen and Italian designer stemware. Some of the showcase dishes of Piemontese cuisine include tenderloin Carpaccio with tonnata sauce, nettle gnocchi with butter and sage. Its exactly what you would expect for a restaurant named in essence of pomegranate. Keep in mind that during late evening and on weekends that the outdoor dining in the courtyard is louder due to clubs in the area. Either way, you wont want to miss the expanded menu Mediterranean offerings as well.
