Los Angeles Restaurants

Mélisse

Mélisse Review

In a city where informality reigns, this is one of L.A.'s more dressy, but not stuffy, restaurants. The dining room is contemporary yet elegant, with 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 enhances his modern French cooking with seasonal California produce. Consider seared sweet white corn ravioli in brown butter-truffle froth, lobster bolognese, slow cooked rabbit, or duck confit. The cheese cart is packed with domestic and European selections.

    So I ate at Melisse about, 2 months ago and it was fantastic! On Wednesday there is a deal going on on Preferdine.com ($50 for $100 at Malisse) that I’m really excited for – I love a good deal at a restaurant that I had a good experience with.
