Fodor's Expert Review Lucques

$$$$ West Hollywood and Fairfax Modern American

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Formerly the carriage house of silent film star Harold Lloyd, this ivy-laden, brick building has morphed into a chic restaurant that has elevated chef Suzanne Goin to national prominence. The California-inspired menu features seasonally changing dishes like grilled duck paillard and chanterelle lasagna, and staples like Goin’s famous short ribs. A James Beard Award–winner, Lucques never ceases to impress; just make sure you ask for a reservation on their stunning patio.
