After four magical years as a small independent restaurant, COVID-19 would force its forever closure. But 17 months later, fate would have it that the community would come together to help resurrect this very special restaurant. Thanks to you, Here's Looking At You is back.

    Very few places in Los Angeles will provide this level of creativity, originality, attention to detail, or an experience as memorable as Vespertine. One of the best restaurants in the world for sure. It is also so refreshing to have such a diverse set of fixed courses and just trust the chef. Dinner for two with drinks can easily surpass $1,500 once you include the tip, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it is totally worth it.

    I recently dined at Mélisse, and it was an incredible experience! The waitresses, Mia and Scarlet, were outstanding—so knowledgeable and attentive. The food was simply fantastic, especially the duck; it was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend Mélisse to anyone looking for a special dining experience! (Much love for the Cesar salad ❤️)
