Thank you! What would you get or recommend? Also heard portions are sorta small
What we get depends on a group, but usually an appetizer (favor prawns or scallop) +/- soup, share lobster bolognese (kind of a signature dish from the old Melisse), either individual seafood mains or dover sole (I like this preparation better than republique) for 2. if we are a group of 4 we get dirty chicken which is wonderful, but quite a bit of food. So, portions are generally small, but not tiny, and kind of expensive. Sole and chicken are large and sharable.
I’ve never thought of portions being especially small there. You must order the hits (lobster bolognese and egg caviar) but beyond that just order what you feel or ask; it’s also maybe (definitely?) the best service in LA.
Their happy hour at the bar is still a great deal. The 10 glass of wine is pretty great too, get the feeling it’s just something they have open because neither the white now the red tasted like 10$ glasses of wine.
I had the Buri, Pea risotto, lamb papardelle & duo of Brandt beef.
Great deal highly recommend.
I drank dessert as well with a Rare wine Co Sersial Madeira and Chateau Climens sauternes
