Downright terrific. Two Michelin stars? Easily worth three. Impeccable, exquisite and precious. The plating, the tastes, the flavor profiles - just spot on. That coddled egg caviar with the cauliflower mousseline and the creme fraiche/whipped cream with lemon zest topped with caviar? That's what fine-dining is all about. And oh yum - all manners of interesting hits to come after that - lobster bolognese - just Heaven. I travel for food - I mean i'll fly to Chicago just to go to Alinea, or Italy or France and just go from restaurant to restaurant - and Melisse holds it's own and then some. Bottom line - is is delicious? Do you crave certain dishes to keep you coming back? Big yes on that. Service is impeccable, waiters are fun to chat with, wine pairings are spot on and the sommelier gives you a great run down on what flavors to focus on. And a GREAT wine list. Especially if you like Bordeaux with some age on it. 89 and 90's? They've got 'em. And stick to those 3rd growth bargains. L.A.'s best restaurant.
