Fodor's Review:

Certainly one of the most romantic and architecturally dramatic dining venues in L.A., Cicada occupies the ground floor of the 1928 art deco Oviatt Building. The glass doors are Lalique, carved maple columns soar two stories to a gold leaf ceiling, and from the mezzanine a glamorous bar overlooks the spacious dining room. With dishes like tuna carpaccio with lemon-ginger sauce, and lamb chops with rosemary-mirin sauce, "Modern Italian" best describes a menu that is a bit overshadowed by the ambience.

Reviewed by jahlie from Los Angeles on 2/18/09
One of my favorite romantic restaurants because of the ambience; low lighting, art deco charm, and the hush of quiet conversations. The food is very good and service top notch.
