welcome, enjoy the menu!

i imagine that you stumbled across "the little menu" for one of the following reasons:

1) you are hungry
2) you have a hungry date
3) you have hungry friends or family in town
4) you have an exceptional palate and demand the best of the best when it comes to food, service and decor
5) you want to know the cost, the wait, reservations needed, what to wear, who to take, the wine selection, the size of the bar, the lighting, the portions, what you must try, what you must skip and so on
6) you want to know if the food at that place on the corner with all the people waiting outside is really worth the wait or if you should go to that hole-in-the-wall because the friend of a friend recommended it

whatever the case may be, you are here for the opinion of a little lady with a big appetite that knows a thing or two about what it takes to be a noteworthy restaurant in Los Angeles. i trust that you will find each review to be informative and precise. but if not, please add your input so that others may gain from it.

Note: each restaurant has been dined at on two occasions or more
Reason: every restaurant deserves a second chance

Bon appetit!
