The Palm - Downtown
Address: 1100 South Flower Street, Los Angeles, LA 90015
The Downtown Los Angeles installment of the venerable Palm empire of restaurants offers reliable steaks, seafood, and Italian specialties in a posh setting. Located at 1100 Flower Street in an enormous space that was formerly a Packard car dealership, the Palm Downtown is the largest in the country. Since 2002 The Palm Downtown has managed to execute the same stellar food that original owners Pio Bozzi and John Ganzi started serving three generations ago in New York City. Today, The Palm restaurants are still a family business run by the original owners’ great-great-grandsons.

Cicada is a fine-dining establishment that’s especially popular for birthdays, weddings and the occasional marriage proposal.

A.O.C.
Address: 8022 W. Third Street, Los Angeles, CA 90048
Sandwiched between a temple and a clothing store on West 3rd Street, A.O.C. Wine Bar doesn't look like much from the outside. Inside, however, there is a great deal to dazzle the wine and food lovers of Los Angeles. Born of the collaboration between Chef Suzanne Goin and Sommelier Caroline Styne, both of Lucques fame, A.O.C. offers a unique dining experience. With the aid of the distinctive cruvinet wine storage system, Styne can offer over fifty wines by the glass, half glass, and carafe. Diners can sample from this list while trying some of Goin's small plates, which vary from traditional wine bar accompaniments, like pate, to the more playful fried chicken.
