...wow...so many amazing dishes served with care and amazing flavors! The wine pairing was expensive, but worth it. Same for the truffle addition. We loved the intimate environment and kind staff. The "hidden door", was fun! The whole thing was worth going at least once!
The chef's dining room is upscale, but cozy with only 5 tables, all located across from the open air kitchen. The chefs and servers partner in serving you each course, telling you about the ingredients for each dish... like little stories. Such a special experience! The food was fresh, precisely mad
Alright, better late than never. The menu has probably updated since I ate back in August, but still worth sharing the beauty. This is my first 2 Michelin restaurant experience and I gotta say, it was worth the experience. I was not disappointed by the flavors. I was not let down by the portions. In
I’ve been to so many underwhelming fine dining restaurants in LA that I was beginning to wonder if I should take a break from the ultra refined, high end dining altogether. Mélisse was a surprising delight and solidified itself as one I hope to visit regularly.
The welcome cocktail, a yuzu grapefru
I never knew food was capable of giving me chills and bringing me into complete ecstasy. I have been to several other michellin-rated restaurants, but still none come close to Melisse. This restaurant will always hold very special place in me and my girlfriend's hearts. I have been here a handful of
I am convinced that Mélisse is one of the most intimate restaurants in LA where you can enjoy various sophisticated fine delights. The creativity of renowned Chef Josiah Citrin shows in every dishes, served in astonishing presentations with scrumptious delicacies. Pairing champagne & wines with the
We visit California at least once a year, and I'm not gonna lie, visiting Melisse is one of our top reasons. It's always fantastically delicious, exciting presentation, and kind and engaging folks work there. We've been coming in since before the pandemic, and the experience has remained amazing thr
Melisse is a gastronomic and sensory delight. The restaurant itself is small and intimate seating about 14 people at a time. There are 5 tables, each with a wonderful view of the open kitchen.
The service here is impeccable as would be expected from a 2 Star Michelin rated establishment. From th
First time here and I’m a fan. Thanks to Dine LA was able to try a few items dishes and loved them all. The duck was my favorite, but then, it was all good. Service was incredible as well and the setting very beautiful as they made up their parking lot into a permanent looking patio. Not at all like
Perfect example of a solid 2 star - Great food all around with several excellent dishes, high-quality ingredients / well-executed techniques, and refined service. For us, the meal's highlight was the turbot.
The 14-person dining room is fantastic. While the price point is certainly up there, I'd re
YUM! We went into this meal at Citrin with high expectations, and we were pleasantly surprised. Every dish and drink was elevated, delectable, well balanced and truly delightful. The presentation of the food was beautiful, and all of the flavors truly danced on your tongue. The service was also exce
This restaurant is perfect fine dining. They serve you many very small and delicious artistic plates of food. The service is extremely attentive. You might leave hungry but it would be hard not to appreciate the delicious food
Exquisite restaurant. Small, thoughtful. Fun features are the solid silver duck press for the jus and the turntable playing classics like Stevie Wonder.
Excellent food and overall experience. Yes, it is pricey, but worth it. Did the tasting menu and all the dishes had great and complex flavors with beautiful presentation. Service was impeccable and the staff was very attentive. We would definitely go back to try other dishes.
Unbelievable dining experience with the best service I have ever had. Literally the manager is from Paris (Jean-Jacques was his name?, district 19) and he was engaging, knowledgeable, and very funny. This was an experience of consuming a pre fix menu with all five of your senses. The caviar egg was
We had the 10 course meal. It was great!! The waiters and staff are attentive to your needs and requests. It is one of the great places to go for a special occasion. Please be aware that meal times are 3-4 hours for the 10 course meal. Overall, an excellent experience for french food in LA.
Very limited seating means high levels of guest attention. The food is very good and has interesting Japanese influences scattered through the menu. I especially loved the “lobster toast” with furikake; and the broth with the mackerel was simply divine. I was a bit disappointed with the use of the t
The food was great and so was the wine pairing and service. Loved the little touches like a small stool for purses next to the table. The attention to detail and even having a coat check and a ticket to pick up any take out on the way out. Very very classy. But $800 for a 2 person meal... Ouch! That
