Yamashiro
Address: 1999 N. Sycamore Avenue, Hollywood, CA 90068
Set in a landmark 1914 building on the eastern edge of the Hollywood Hills, Yamashiro is renowned for its views over Los Angeles. But while the vistas are stunning, the spectacular CalAsian cuisine should not be overlooked. The menu is vast, encompassing sushi, sashimi, sushi rolls, soups, salads, steaks, fish, and more – but whether you’re here for drinks at the bar, to dine in the sophisticated dining room, or in the beautiful interior courtyard, you won’t be disappointed. You might leave with your wallet noticeably lighter, but it'll be worth every cent.

Cafe Sevilla Long Beach
Address: 140 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802
Rogelio and Janet Huidobro opened the first Café Sevilla in 1987, honoring their homeland with a Spanish restaurant in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter. After finding additional success in Riverside, they launched in downtown Long Beach in 2006. Mid week, the old-world setting draws business types. Weekends attract a younger crowd for upstairs dancing and dinner shows. Café Sevilla specializes in pans of paella and traditional Spanish tapas. The reasonably priced wine list is especially strong on full-bodied Spanish reds like Tempranillo and Torre Oria.

Geisha House
Address: 6633 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90028
Building on the success of Dolce, Lonnie Moore, Mike Malin and Shereen Arazm opened their sprawling Japanese restaurant in November 2003, helping to bring Hollywood Boulevard into the 21st Century while honoring Japan’s past. Geisha House pays tribute to tradition with fully costumed “geishas” who walk the dining room. The restaurant is especially popular with twenty-somethings, who grab dinner before hitting neighborhood bars and clubs. Chef Paulo Soares delivers delicate but flavorful dishes incorporating premium ingredients like Kobe beef, while Sushi Chef Genichi Mizoguchi presides over an innovative sushi bar. To drink, expect a sake list representative of Japan’s diverse prefectures.

L'Opera
Address: 101 Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802
As you ascend the marble steps and enter L’Opera between two massive columns, it is as if you are stepping off a great Florentine piazza into a historic monument. Once inside, the dining room appears surprisingly modern, and it is this mix of antiquity and modernity that gives L’Opera its elegance. Serving Northern Italian cuisine in a refined setting, L’Opera offers a stunning dining experience, with warm and friendly service, a comfortably elegant ambiance, and exquisite cuisine.

La Boheme
Address: 8400 Santa Monica Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90069
La Bohème rhapsodizes with a quintuplet of dazzling crystal chandeliers looming majestically overhead in a large, yet intimate two-tiered dining space. The opulent ruby-red décor glimmers softly under the glow of two huge open fireplaces. This longtime retreat from the bustle of Santa Monica Boulevard boasts moderate prices and a globe-trotting menu that sweeps culinary terrain from comfort food to exquisitely sophisticated dishes. Specialties like the Red Caviar Spaghetti, the Lobster Saffron Risotto, and the Berkshire Pork Chop offer a fine balance of familiarity in flavor and innovation in vision.
