Your favorite top/fine dining experience in LA?

Melisse’s food reminds me of Vintage Cave’s - good execution and there’s talent there, but it’s a little boring for fine dining (on the other hand, most of “fine dining” in the US is maybe boring)? Sometimes I do wish that LA had an exciting world-class fine dining restaurant, but I often go to LA to hit up solid go-to’s for ethnic foods or for specific dishes.

Melisse was exceptional in the “aughts”.

Now? Like time has passed it by. In a decade or so, it might be whispered in the same hushed tones as one speaks about Taix.
