We had a wonderful evening at Gracias Madre. We went because it was highly recommended, but it surpassed my expectations in every way. The food was superb (and I am a harsh critic), the place was lovely, the tables were well-spaces so the noise level was low, and the service was outstanding. I'll definitely be back next time we're in Los Angeles. (In the meantime, the food was so good I bought the cookbook!)
