Brad A. Johnson of Angeleno Magazine bestowed his awards on the best of Los Angeles, as he does every year, and it was time to celebrate. Thankfully, I had the opportunity to participate in this celebration, and boy did it impress. So I didn’t get to try everything before the tastes ran out – but [...]

Welcome to the real Melrose Place. Aaron Spelling is nowhere to be found, and sure, Area – an SBE nightclub – is just a block away, but you’d never have guessed it from inside Bastide’s enclosed, quaint and olive tree and garden lined patio. In fact, dining at Bastide is somewhat like dining at someone’s [...]

I love FIG. Probably one of the best ever cheese plates I’ve ever had was there. Their ingredients are always fresh and inspire the very recipes Chef Ray Garcia creates in his kitchen. The natural light accommodates the beautiful furnishings of the dining room well, making for an ever-pleasant, cheery yet sophisticated ambiance in Santa [...]
