Chef Christopher Beischer oversees the ethnically eclectic menu\, which includes appetizers such as steamed shrimp salad with avocado\, mushroom and tomato in a Champagne vinaigrette or fresh mozzarella and cherries with green and purple basil\, and watercress. As for entrées\, we recommend the New York strip with gingered shiitake mushrooms\, caramel soy-infused sauce and french fries as well as the steamed skate with tarragon\, sesame seed\, asparagus and sushi rice.

Sepia-toned photos\, louvered shutters\, potted palms and lazily rotating ceiling fans set the stage for exotic meals. Despite somewhat tightly packed\, white-clothed tables\, there’s something downright romantic at play. It’s important to note that dishes are puny and pricey compared to those at the more authentic spots on Argyle Street\, however. Still\, the food tastes especially good in this evocative setting. Fresh rice-paper salad rolls and grilled shrimp wrapped around sugar cane are among the openers. The lovely selection of salads includes bracing\, spicy beef salad redolent of lemon grass\, basil and chili. Typical entrées include crisp\, whole red snapper in spicy sweet-tart sauce\, ginger-marinated roast duck and a complex coconut-milk chicken curry.

Night is another story when pulsating music\, strategic lighting and striped carpets set a trendy scene. The hip setting fits the menu’s refined but adventuresome New American cuisine\, which is enhanced by seasonal\, local products. With chef Adam Stevensen\, the restaurant has found its grounding. Instead of forcing the issue of whether ingredients are from the sea or the earth\, there's a more traditional bent. There's also an impressive offering of artisan cheeses and house-made charcuterie. Memorable entrées may include roasted moulard duck breast with braised cabbage\, pancetta and pine nut purée\; sea scallops with braised radishes\, endive and bacon\; or vanilla-poached lobster and wild Pacific salmon.

Come to the restaurant dressed as you wish. Order\, drink what you want\, and even eat with your fingers if that pleases you." This is the motto of chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo\, and the explanation behind the name of their first restaurant venture. They've been a team for ten years\, and have cooked in Florida and at other restaurants in LA\, catered\, and traveled the world discovering other cuisines. The minimalist décor is composed of natural elements: beech wood tables\, ash banquettes\, a copper-topped bar\, brewed green tea-colored walls. There is no sign on the street\; the twosome preferred to spend their dollars on food and dishware. And indeed\, let us now talk about the cuisine. They are having fun changing the menu daily\; either the produce or the preparation of an ingredient that might have been on the day before\, all seasonal and fresh for an interesting comfort foodexperience. Start with melted petit basque (ewe cheese) with chorizo to spread on toasted garlic bread\; an heirloom tomato salad seasoned with pickled onions\, fresh garbanzo beans\, feta and kalamata olives\; mustard-crusted sweetbreads on a bed of jambalaya shrimp rice\; or soft shell crab with pork belly. The pair likes to mix fish and meat\, as in the two aforementioned starters\, or in the grilled halibut with bacon and lima beans. The flat iron steak is topped with corn with an unusual poblano vinaigrette\, a fun wake-up call for your palate. But the pièce de résistance is the impressive 109 (a butcher's term for a Tomahawk rib-eye chop) for two with a foie gras sauce. Chocolate fans will like the jar of chocolate pudding and will love the bacon (yes\, and homemade) chocolate crunch bar with crème anglaise. Other desserts are made of fresh organic fruits\, therefore changing according to the season. Shook is in charge of the wine and buys no more than 24 bottles of any given label. It's an ever-changing global mix\, served by the glass\, carafe or bottle." - Gayot.com URL;VALUE=URI:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4768191/ UID:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4768191/ DTSTAMP:20091022T022003 LAST-MODIFIED:20091022T022003 CATEGORIES: ORGANIZER;CN=:X-ADDR:http://upcoming.yahoo.com/user/215708/ LOCATION;ALTREP="http://upcoming.yahoo.com/venue/652903/":Animal @ 435 N.

Of course\, Georgia Brown’s---a downtown Southern-food mecca---is really for sophisticated adults\, with its upscale décor\, bar area and menu\; just check the place during cocktail hour or at lunch. But the warm country biscuits and cornbread sticks\, the crispy catfish fingers and the cherry pepper vinegar are lush reminders of traditional Southern (that is\, South Carolinian) home cooking.

Instead of forcing the issue of whether ingredients are from the sea or the earth\, there's a more traditional bent. There's also an impressive offering of artisan cheeses and house-made charcuterie. Memorable entrées may include roasted moulard duck breast with braised cabbage\, pancetta and pine nut purée\; sea scallops with braised radishes\, endive and bacon\; or vanilla-poached lobster and wild Pacific salmon.

Despite somewhat tightly packed\, white-clothed tables\, there’s something downright romantic at play. It’s important to note that dishes are puny and pricey compared to those at the more authentic spots on Argyle Street\, however. Still\, the food tastes especially good in this evocative setting. Fresh rice-paper salad rolls and grilled shrimp wrapped around sugar cane are among the openers. The lovely selection of salads includes bracing\, spicy beef salad redolent of lemon grass\, basil and chili.

Come to the restaurant dressed as you wish. Order\, drink what you want\, and even eat with your fingers if that pleases you." This is the motto of chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo\, and the explanation behind the name of their first restaurant venture. They've been a team for ten years\, and have cooked in Florida and at other restaurants in LA\, catered\, and traveled the world discovering other cuisines. The minimalist décor is composed of natural elements: beech wood tables\, ash banquettes\, a copper-topped bar\, brewed green tea-colored walls. There is no sign on the street\; the twosome preferred to spend their dollars on food and dishware. And indeed\, let us now talk about the cuisine. They are having fun changing the menu daily\; either the produce or the preparation of an ingredient that might have been on the day before\, all seasonal and fresh for an interesting comfort foodexperience. Start with melted petit basque (ewe cheese) with chorizo to spread on toasted garlic bread\; an heirloom tomato salad seasoned with pickled onions\, fresh garbanzo beans\, feta and kalamata olives\; mustard-crusted sweetbreads on a bed of jambalaya shrimp rice\; or soft shell crab with pork belly. The pair likes to mix fish and meat\, as in the two aforementioned starters\, or in the grilled halibut with bacon and lima beans. The flat iron steak is topped with corn with an unusual poblano vinaigrette\, a fun wake-up call for your palate. But the pièce de résistance is the impressive 109 (a butcher's term for a Tomahawk rib-eye chop) for two with a foie gras sauce. Chocolate fans will like the jar of chocolate pudding and will love the bacon (yes\, and homemade) chocolate crunch bar with crème anglaise. Other desserts are made of fresh organic fruits\, therefore changing according to the season. Shook is in charge of the wine and buys no more than 24 bottles of any given label.

The mahogany bar is attractive\, the lounge separated from the green-stippled\, votive-lit dining room by plush velvet curtains. Service is friendly\, generally crisp\, attentive and knowledgeable\, and though chefs have come and gone\, the food has remained satisfying. Tapas\, available in the lounge\, tantalize. Mojo mussels strewn with chorizo are fragrant with orange and lime\, and romesco sauce accompanies sweet\, garlic-marinated grilled shrimp. Goat cheese ravioli can arrive tossed with lemon butter and served with portobellos and asparagus. The seasonal bistro menu usually includes such staples as tender\, meaty leg of duck confit paired with lima beans glistening with lemon-chive oil\; individual paellas filled with creamy\, saffron-scented arborio rice and studded with chicken\, seafood and choriza\; and bacon-wrapped filet mignon.

The watermelon and shaved fennel salad with goat-milk yogurt dressing is bright and vibrant\, while the sirloin steak tartare with a raw farm egg is comfort food with a college degree. We also recommend the veal breast entrée with mint noodles and cipollini onions. Desserts---fresh fruit bread pudding\, chocolate soufflé---have the same rustic-yet-refined appeal as the rest of the menu.

The chef brings his Midwestern sensibilities and direct-from-the-farm passion with him in a to-the-point menu that emphasizes organic\, sustainable including the green oriented surroundings. This is American fare that utilizes the best of Southern California's farms in upmarket style. Don’t expect overly complicated plates\; instead anticipate big flavors. Dolinky’s appetizers show off his nimbleness.

Chef Kendal Duque (Everest\, TRU) works with seasonal\, top-quality ingredients and then stands back and lets their flavors shine. The watermelon and shaved fennel salad with goat-milk yogurt dressing is bright and vibrant\, while the sirloin steak tartare with a raw farm egg is comfort food with a college degree.

Executive Chef Simon Dolinky\, a protégé of August’s John Besh\, has landed in Los Angeles. The chef brings his Midwestern sensibilities and direct-from-the-farm passion with him in a to-the-point menu that emphasizes organic\, sustainable including the green oriented surroundings. This is American fare that utilizes the best of Southern California's farms in upmarket style. Don’t expect overly complicated plates\; instead anticipate big flavors. Dolinky’s appetizers show off his nimbleness. The market vegetables---just-picked radishes and cucumber turned into an ultra light consommé---accompany yellowtail tartare and equally star on the marquee. Dolinky harvests herbs like basil\, mint\, thyme and rosemary from an on-site garden. This enterprise has inspired dishes such as the pappardelle pasta with mint\, English pea ragout\, roasted cipollini onion and French butter sauce. Beef is sourced locally and amplified by wine-soaked cherries and Point Reyes blue cheese. This is creamy comfort food that does not weigh you down. Be sure to taste one of the restaurant’s creative cocktails\; The BLVD 16 infuses vodka with ginger liqueur and citrus juice.
