[Cafe Del Rey - Restaurant Review
Gaze out over the marina and allow your mind to drift lazily like the boats against the docks as you savor the fresh and tantalizing fare Executive Chef Niederkorn serves up daily. Only twenty minutes from the harried rush of LAX, Café Del Rey transports diners from the bustle of humanity to the calm oasis of a foreign seaside town. Chef Niederkorn presents elegantly prepared and simply adorned seafood dishes that shine by their own freshness and flavor. The Black Spaghetti is made with prawns, calamari, lobster, and bay scallops; and the Mediterranean Meatloaf is taken to another level by a topping of black truffle gravy.

XIV
Address: 8117 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90046 (Map)
XIV is the latest (and “fourteenth”) restaurant project from gifted chef Michael Mina. The unique New American menu offers a la carte selections but is more readily recognized for its signature tasting menu where you can mix and match from a medley of 35 small bite-sized portions. This serving style is meant to promote a “social dining” experience and allows for countless sampling variations. Illustrious designer Phillip Starck has decorated the interior of XIV with traditional European château accents contrasted with clean contemporary elements. A popular outdoor patio boasts a marble-clad bar, ivy-cloaked trellis, and fanciful wheelbarrow-shaped chairs.
