Designed by chef Stan Ota, the February 16th meal starts with wonton spoons cradling a sautéed Cajun shrimp with mango ceviche to go with Nickel's Media Vineyards Chardonnay and another Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Cabernet later ends on Fuji Apple Muille Fuielle with far Niente's Dolce. The full menu is below and reservations can be made at 213-236-9600.
