Mélisse 
$$$$, French, Santa Monica
User Rating: ***** 4.8
Fodor's Review:
In a city where informality reigns, this is one of L.A.'s more dressy -- but not stuffy -- restaurants. A crystal chandelier hangs in the dining room, above well-spaced tables topped with flowers and Limoges china. The garden room loosens up with a stone fountain and a retractable roof. Chef-owner Josiah Citrin enriches his modern French cooking with seasonal California produce. Consider seared sweet corn ravioli in brown butter-truffle froth, lobster Thermidor, or seared venison in chocolate sauce. The cheese cart is packed with domestic and European selections.
