Top Restaurant Reviews in Long Beach : The Sky Room Long Beach Restaurant and Bar
Restaurant Reviews in Long Beach:The Sky Room Long Beach Restaurant and Bar by Foodie and Chef Natacha Mannhart. This place has an amazing view from the Long Beach Sky Light and has been there for quite a long time in a beautiful Art Deco Style Building opened since 1926. Best time to come is a few minutes before the sunset to admire a beautiful sky illuminating the marina. In the darkness it become a romantic setting with a romantic ambiance with candlelight. The food and the service is good. I particularly love their cocktails that are strong and tasty. Their wine cellar is in a great display, near the entrance, so every guest can enjoy it.

Bar Bouchon Bouchon Bar Bar Bouchon in Beverly-Hills
Restaurant Reviews in Los Angeles for Bar Bouchon in Beverly-Hills by Foodie and Chef Natacha Mannhart. For a great taste of France in the heart of Beverly Hills, there is Bouchon, part of the Thomas Keller Restaurant Group, famous for the French Laundry. It has become known as the world’s best restaurant, even better than French restaurants in France, if you can believe that! I’m still looking forward to trying the French Laundry when I go to Napa Valley!
Back to Bouchon. The Bar Bouchon, along with the restaurant that is located upstairs, is one of the new baby gem restaurants in Los Angeles. The giant complex, in which it is housed, was built in 2009 and was one of the most expensive projects since Rodeo Drive. The result is astonishing. This is a beautiful park in the middle of Beverly Hills. It’s like a breath of fresh air!
When I dine or lunch in Bar Bouchon, I am always amazed by the relaxing time and the quality of the service. It’s also a great place to come for happy hour to relax after a long day at work. Restaurant Reviews for Bar Bouchon in Beverly-Hills, their website is http://www.bouchonbistro.com

Il Fornaio Il Fornaio Fornaio Il Restaurant Beverly-Hills
Restaurant Reviews Los Angeles for Fornaio Beverly-Hills by Foodie and Chef Natacha Mannhart. Il Fornaio cooking school was started in Italy in 1972, and then they bought a local neighborhood bakery to save it. Their bakery concept was imported to the US by Williams-Sonoma, who later sold it to a group of investors. Eventually, the new owners created a restaurant-bakery chain concept with numerous locations.
In addition to serving dinner, this place is open for breakfast and lunch, because it’s also a bakery. It’s always busy, attracting both locals and tourists. Being conveniently located in the center of Beverly Hills helps alot.:)
My favorite dish is “Pizza Christina” with truffle oil, and I also like the spinach salad, the lasagna, calzone pizza and lobster ravioli. They have a beautiful selection of Italian wine, which received the Award of Excellence by the Wine Spectator in 2011. Il Fornaio has a catering service, as well as a take away menu.

Melisse Melisse Restaurant Restaurant Melisse Santa-Monica
Restaurant Reviews for Melisse Restaurant in Santa-Monica by Foodie and Chef Natacha Mannhart. Chef Josiah Citrin is a two-star Michelin and multi-award winning restaurant owner in Santa Monica. At a young age, he was inspired by his French Grandma’s cooking. Born and raised in California, he traveled to France to follow his passion for cooking. When he returned to LA, he worked with Wolfgang Puck and other celebrity chefs.
Chef Josiah only chooses fresh daily organic ingredients grown locally at the "Gun Ranch" in the Malibu Hills alongside the Santa Monica Farmer's Market. Melisse was named after Mediterranean lemon palm herbs, accenting his attention to ingredients.
His elegant, creative and sophisticated cuisine is divided into a variety of menus. Beside the delicious a la carte menu, they have price fixe menus from which to choose. You can order from the "Foie For All" Menu, built around Foie Gras, Specials built around Truffles, Carte Blanche (Degustation Menu), and others according to the season.
My favorites are Egg Caviar, The Hot and Cold Foie Gras, the Liberty Duck Breast and Confit, and the cheese selection, of course. I also appreciate that a vegetarian menu is available.
A wine pairing selection is available for every single item, or just ask the knowledgeable Sommelier if you need help getting your way around the 1,000+ references available on the wine list.
It's a sophisticated place for your palate. Meticulous and attentive service. For example, they brought a little stool to lay my purse on. It doesn’t get any better than that!
They have two private dining rooms available for special events. Restaurant Reviews for Melisse in Santa Monica and their website is : http://www.melisse.com

Cicada Cicada Restaurant Restaurant Cicada and Club Olive Street Downtown LA
Restaurant Reviews Downtown Los Angeles Cicada Restaurant and Club Olive Street Downtown LA by Foodie and French Chef Natacha Mannhart. Located in the heart of downtown LA, in the historical 1928 Art deco Oviatt Building (some say is haunted), this place has been featured in numerous Hollywood film productions, such as in a scene of one of the best films of the year, "The Artist." (It's a back-in-time sensation from the Glamour and the Golden Ages of the early bloom of the entertainment industry. It spans the era of Al Capone through post-World War II--the 1920s to 1950s.)
You are strongly encouraged to dress with vintage attire. But if you don't want to do that, their dress code policy is a jacket and tie for the gentlemen and a cocktail dress for the ladies.
They feature an Italian menu, with an option for vegetarians. My favorite item, “The Valentino's Pizza Romantic,” is named after my favorite celebrity of that time period. A selection of classic Gin and Bourbon Cocktails are served. My favorite is the Maxwell's Side Car.
Every Sunday, a live broadcast session is streamed online with dance performers, live band performance, inspired by retro bands, actors and artists, in a sensational ambiance swing, groovy, Mocambo and Orchestra. Check out the dance contest events and have fun. Restaurant and Bar Reviews in Los Angeles, Cicada Restaurant and Club in Downtown LA. http://www.cicadarestaurant.com/club.php

The Foundry The Foundry Restaurant Restaurant The Foundry Melrose West Hollywood
Restaurant Reviews Los Angeles for The Foundry on Melrose by Foodie and Chef French Natacha Mannhart. This Restaurant is suitable for vegetarians and foodies alike. The menu concept has been designed around small plates to share. With some name categories like Earth, Sea, Land and Foundry Classics, there is something for everyone. A tasting menu is also available.
You will enjoy the unique Grilled Cheese sandwich. Butter and Tallegio cheese give the sandwich a unique and delicious taste. An interesting cocktail to try is “The Chorizo,” it’s an Old Fashion cocktail.
Celebrity Chef Eric Greenspan, who has appeared on "Iron Chef," strolls around the dining room almost every night to greet his patrons. I love my table outside in the patio. The service is attentive and friendly.
A band plays every other night in the bar area, and they are in tune with the nightlife scene in West Hollywood. Check out the calendar on their website to see who is playing http://www.thefoundryonmelrose.com Restaurant Reviews Los Angeles for The Foundry on Melrose Avenue.

Osteria Mozza Mozza Mozza Restaurant Osteria Los Angeles Restaurant Mozza Mozza
Restaurant Reviews Los Angeles for Osteria Mozza Los Angeles by Foodie and French Chef Natacha Mannhart. Difficult to get a reservation but it is worth the wait. To my surprise it was not that busy the night I visited the restaurant. Mozza is one of the rare restaurants to have a Mozzarella Bar in LA. Combine some delicious and fresh ingredients directly imported from Italy will make you feel alive. My favorite spot is sitting at the Bar to watch the cooks preparing numerous dishes right in front of my eyes. Don't forget to also try the Pizzeria next door with a more relax atmosphere, the same Chef and open for Lunch and Dinner.
