W: this restaurant has continually improved since it opened. It is easily one of my favorite ten restaurants in LA. The chef is a genius.
P: really good. Very exciting. The chef is very creative.

Menu change at all or still the same?

It’s changed some. For example, there is a new Margaret River wagyu dish that is very good. We’ll post a menu later.

job’s tears
bass
steak
dessert

All those were in the mix. The online menu below is accurate except: (1) they have a choice of Margaret River wagyu (great); (2) they have an optional course of avocado and caviar (good); (3) they gave a few extra treats, including the sweet potato / salmon roe / cream dish that oddly has become a bit of a culinary cliche, as I’ve also seen it at Rustic Canyon and Alma Fonda Fina.

Meteora has really hit its stride and keeps improving. There are a lot of new dishes now (the weekend menu online is not accurate). I love the adventurous spirit, incorporating more and more unusual ingredients (mocambo, cacao fruit, tiger nuts, plantain butter). It’s a unique and refreshing fine dining experience.
(Peony post pictures, perhaps, pretty please?)

Today there was a collab with Johnny Ortiz.
I was wowed. The food was extremely creative and unusual. I liked it too. I thought about how much of music is a collaborative work but paintings generally are not. In this regard chefs are like painters. But why? (for both the chef and the painter)

I also really liked it, I’ve had Ortiz’s food before and knew it was great but I knew he would pair well with Meteora’s sensibilities.

Memorable moment:
Chef Kahn comes out and talks to a table. Apparently they asked him to compare his restaurants. He responds:
Destroyer is like smoking a joint
Meteora is like taking shrooms
Vespertine is like a three-day ayahuasca trip where you talk to your ancestors

Based on my one visit to Meteora (for the Alain Giraud pop-up) and then @PeonyWarrior informing me that Vespertine is indeed Meteora taken to a ridiculous level, I actually kind of, totally get Kahn’s statements and think they might be brilliant.
But I really loved the entirety of my Meteora experience (not just the food), so…

lol, making my first post here to say that I, in fact vomited after my dinner at Vespertine.
(*should add that I don’t fault the restaurant for this incident. I think partially due to the amount of food - my partner was not very good about finishing her plates and I didn’t want it to go to waste. That, plus the drink pairing, and maybe my semi-neglected kiwi alergy… my stomach protested when I got back home)

Yikes! Yeah, I can imagine that might’ve contributed to the nausea.

I love destroyer (it’s near my house and a great spot when you have visitors in town) and like meteora more each time.
I really dislike vespertine. The first time I went I have never been so bored and wanting to leave a restaurant in my entire life. Vespertine 2.0 only a marginal improvement in my books.

I used to say kiwi when a server asks if I have any allergies/restrictions, but 99% of the time they just laugh… the 1% has been Jordan Kahn restaurants
