Koi - Restaurant Review
Sumptuous and stylish exoticism lure both celebrities and locals to West Hollywood’s Koi restaurant. Its décor suggests the simplicity of a Zen garden, the lush seclusion of a bamboo forest, and simultaneously the sleek modernity expected of L.A’s fashion-forward populace. Its menu is similarly influenced by a spirit of eclecticism, with a cuisine firmly based in the Japanese tradition but executed with an experimental and distinctly Californian flair. With a variety of enticingly elegant dining environments featuring two patios, an atrium, and a sushi bar, Koi supplies an ambiance that is open to interpretation, be it romantically intimate or fashionably social.

Ago
Address: 8478 Melrose Avenue, West Hollywood, CA 90069 (Map)
This Italian restaurant offers the comforts and atmosphere of Florence. The courtyard dining room hosts a trellis that dims the light that streams down, but still lights up the room without a problem during the day, and is candlelit by night for a hint of romance. Lush orchid vines hang above the tables to illustrate the restaurant’s emphasis on wine which is featured at the bar that can be located in the main dining room. Along with ah large selection of wine, the menu is a poutporri of flavors from the different sects of Italy. Off-the-menu items are available as well for more ‘American’ flavors.
