Ortolan

Extravagant preparations and a striking space help this WeHo establishment stand out from the rest. Whether you opt for the 11-course prix fixe dinner (entire table only; wine pairings available) or choose something from the à la carte menu, you'll encounter creations like egg and caviar cooked in hot ash, seared escargot, cauliflower panna cotta with black truffle, or roast squab with macaroni gratin. The main dining room is elegant and quiet; snag a seat at the 24-foot-long communal table in the lounge if you're looking for a livelier experience. If you're vigilant, you may even catch sight of actress Jeri Ryan, a co-owner along with fiancé and chef Christophe Émé.
