The Scene – This chic dining room is all about subdued modern stylings in beige and white--the action peaks at the bustling wine bar, where a handsome Hollywood crowd flirts and buzzes. Those seeking refuge from the scene can seek out the charming starlit patio upstairs. – – The Food – The menu is about great wine--and a landscape of Mediterranean small plates to pair with it. Servers recommend two to three dishes per person, and will adeptly pair them with some 50 wines by the glass. A list of dreamy European cheeses range from Sardinian goat to Corsican sheep; the…

HIghly recommend!

Susanne Goin is one of the best chefs in LA and AOC is fantastic. I recommend sitting at the bar. The food is great, the servers and bartenders are helpful and friendly and they have a great wine selection. The bacon-wrapped dates are a must.

Great small dish menu
by jasoncoberfest at Citysearch
The first time went to AOC I loved it, but I have since backed off on that. The dishes are great (farrow w squid one of my faves) but while the atmosphere is fine it feels a little sterile-- kind of a like a big coporate restaurant.
- Pros: Wide variety of options, super high quality.
- Cons: Crowded, noce but sterile atmosphere.
The Details on A.O.C.
What to Drink:
A prodigious wine list offers some hard-to-find labels from France, Spain, Italy and the New World; one top feature is the off-menu half-glass pour for half the price, which allows for experimentation or a perfect pairing with every dish.
Where to Sit:
Larger groups can reserve the patio in the smaller downstairs back room, or in the upstairs alcove ideal for one long table.
Parking:
Street parking isn't easy along this stretch--your best bet is the $5.50 valet.
