Tastings in LA

We have chatted about dreaming of travel. A short trip to LA, allowed me to experience a new, chic restaurant in the heart of Hollywood. The Gordon Ramsay Restaurant. Located in the new, hotel, London West, the dining experience was exemplary. 

Ramsay, the famous/infamous British chef opened the restaurant to rave reviews last year. The gastronomic delight begins when entering the bar and dining room.  The restaurant is sleek, glimmering and the lighting is such that everyone looks fabulous. The tables are arranged in comfortable patterns, not too close, but well designed for good service. Chef Ramsay enjoys using only fresh products for his food preparations. 

The selections chosen were the Chef's tasting menu for the evening. Seven courses, bites, were presented with lovely touches.  Wine pairing, by the sommelier, were very good and a list was available for diners to take home. 

You can find Chef Ramsay on TV, his show airs once a week. Filled with great ideas, simple methods of prep. for a busy schedule, yet allowing for a gourmet meal. 

It is fun to find a new product out there that is a real value. Give it a try and Bon Appetit.
