When it comes to dining, Los Angeles is one of the prime locations to find a high end meal that will leave guests speechless with everything from the impeccable, doting service to the romantic, upscale atmospheres, and of course: the food that’s simply beyond words. Enjoy world renowned chefs, platings and pairings never before seen or thought of and tastes that you won’t even be able to describe. Make sure you share the night with someone because no one else will “get” what you just experienced. And bring a credit card with you, none of these are going to let you out the door for anything less than $1,000.
