    Roast turkey focaccia sandwich
    Vivian Q.

    I have been here for brunch a few times and it has always been a nice experience. The avocado toast and chicken+waffles are reliably good, and recently tried the roast turkey focaccia sandwich which I enjoyed a lot. The ambiance is quiet and fairly empty the last few times I've visited.

    Among this round of Dine LA restaurants, we found this place offering a vegetarian menu, which I really appreciated since my friend is vegetarian. That's what made us decide to give it a try. Overall, the experience was quite good. The menu offered a nice variety of dishes, and the portions were generous. We were definitely full by the end of the meal. The pricing felt reasonable, the environment was calm and quiet, and the service was attentive and well paced. While the food wasn't particularly flashy, it was satisfying and well balanced, and we were able to enjoy a wide range of vegetarian dishes with good nutritional variety. Overall, it's a solid choice and a good recommendation for anyone looking for vegetarian options during Dine LA. The only small letdown was that the dessert wasn't as appealing as the rest of the meal.

    I've dined at A.O.C. a few times, but was never able to try Chef Suzanne Goin's and business partner/sommelier Caroline Styne's first LA restaurant, Lucques, now closed. They were known for their Sunday Suppers at Lucques, which became a bestselling cookbook. A.O.C. recently held a 20th Anniversary dinner Celebration of Sunday Suppers at Lucques, which I attended, on a Sunday. It was a fabulous and "star-studded" dinner, chef-wise. A.O. C. has a warm indoor dining room and an especially lovely patio, which is where I've always dined. There's another more make-shift outdoor area on the opposite side. It was used during the pandemic and maybe for large events, but was closed for this dinner. The dinner consisted of 5 courses, dishes all from the cookbook. The meal began with delicious bread from Suzanne and Caroline's Larder Baking Co. and small dishes of olives and almonds, as is Suzanne's penchant. I tried two of their non-alcoholic drinks, the Shaddock Shandy and the Viola Fizz, with the Fizz being my preference, as it was fruitier. The dishes presented were: 1) james' broccoli with burrata, pine nuts and warm anchovy vinaigrette 2) pancetta-wrapped trout with verjus, crushed grapes and fennel gratin 3) grilled squab with farro, kabocha squash, cavolo nero and pomegranate salsa 4) Portuguese-style pork and clams with chorizo and fried potatoes 5) jessica's favorite meyer lemon tart with a layer of chocolate All dishes were fab, with my faves being the broccoli, trout and squab. I recognized chef David Lentz at the next table; he's chef Suzanne's husband. I would learn through social media other chefs who attended; I recognized Elizabeth Falkner and Shirley Chung. Even on non-event days, A.O.C. is a highly recommended dining spot. I remember most fondly their Farmer's Plate with roasted veggies, muhamarra, hummus and burrata, and their "Ode to Zuni" Roasted Chicken. I'd like to try their brunch someday.

    I will follow a.o.c. wherever they are. Originally a customer of the OG location further down on 3rd, this place has always consistently felt like home. Suzanne and her team work hard to create consistent flavors across their menu to always make you feel like you're having some of the most elevated flavors in the coziest of places. In terms of what to get in addition to their seasonal dishes which rotate: - bacon wrapped dates - a must and an original staple - farro - seriously so good with anything but especially a meat dish - ode to zuni - for a bigger group, a true tribute to some of the best chicken I'll ever have from Zuni Cafe in SF They'll rotate some dishes in and out based on ingredients and the season so you know you're going to get some quality items every time. And the space is so charming - think Californian Spanish style with a warmth and charm of home. They have patio areas and valet parking. Street parking can get tricky with meters and restricted parking signs. Valet is also available for a fee.

    Had a great dinner at AOC, sitting on their patio. Had an early res and we were one of the first parties seated, so the restaurant lacked a bit of energy which was unfortunate. But by the end of our meal, the place was PACKED and there was big energy happening, so plan your dining time according to what kind of atmosphere you desire. Cocktails and wine were excellent, the small plates were wonderful. (I think we had the Parmesan dates, one of the focaccias, the bass, and the corn pudding. Dessert was the sampler for two. The pot de creme soared. The peanut butter cups and other items were delicious. Though the little smores fell a bit flat. (Overall the dessert board was a win!) Couple things to keep in mind. Here, like lots of other places, if you just go for dinner and stick to the foods, you can have a totally reasonably priced meal. We were celebrating, so the drinks and the desserts kept coming. So what could be a great spot for a weeknight dinner can get super pricey (if you're worried about such things) because the alcohol and dessert expense really drives up the bill. Don't get me wrong - not complaining. The experience was worth it. But just be aware. Couple other things. One, they add a 6% (at the time of this review) charge to apparently provide health care or other benefits to their staff. Well intentioemd, but it would be nice to have been aware of this ahead of time, or for more details about where that money goes. Also, they will require a credit card to guarantee the res, with a $25 per head fee if you no show. Having gone to culinary school and understanding the challenges restaurants face, I get it. And no-shows are rude. But I'm not a fan of the practice. So just be aware that that's a thing and make sure you're really committed to your day and time before you book. Overall, they're getting 5 stars because the atmosohere, food, service, and experience were great, despite some minor hiccups. Go! Enjoy!

    First off the servers were amazing and friendly no issues at all there, quick and fun! Good recommendations for drinks and meals. I had the chicken and waffles but it's completely different than any I had before. Cornmeal waffle and Spanish fried chicken with cumin. The chicken was great and flavorful and moist. The waffle was divine in fact I want one right now. I had the green goddess and a bloody Mary. The green goddess was definitely the highlight for drinks. Three of the group had the omelette and said it was good but nothing amazing. Chile Verde pork though I tried and the focaccia egg sandwich i had a bite of and those were also both amazing so I don't know if I trust the omelette folks opinion. Looking at it I think I would have liked it. They wanted more cheese but that's exactly why I don't order omelettes usually they have too much cheese. Avocado toast looked good as well. I digress but the point is the food was amazing. We sat in the courtyard a party of 8 and they took care of us exceedingly well. It has a very nice covered outdoor area even on a hot day it was pleasant there. They also have a great whiskey list.

    We hosted a private dinner for 30 here at AOC and it was executed perfectly. Their private room is ideal, with its own entrance, separate bathroom, and plenty of room to move around with your group. If your dream dinner takes place at one long beautiful table, you have found your spot! The food and service were topnotch. The chicory salad with apple created a lasting memory for me, as did the Spanish fried chicken. And I loved my clementine fizz! Alex M was great to work with. He greeted me and showed me to the space when I arrived to set up, and introduced me to the staff who took such great care of us. Our group had dietary restrictions and they were accommodated seamlessly. I'd trust AOC with any important meal: engagement party, rehearsal dinner, launch event, board dinner, etc. They handled all the details so I could focus on my people--and that's all any host wants, right?

    We had approximately four different waiters. The older lady with glasses was very confusing. We were asking her about cocktails mainly martinis and she told us to look at the menu to see if they carry what we wanted she was just sorry no wonder she wears thick black frames on top of it she just didn't want to help & she didn't so sad l guess it was to late for her to be there it showed she was to old so why was she there there wasn't any customers she expected us to do are due diligence, when we wanted to order a specific vodka she just didn't want to be helpful disappointing then there was a Second Lady waitress very sweet and nice and then there was a wonderful, amazing black guy that was outstanding what was really confusing is ordering they had salmon unfortunately they didn't ask me how l would like it cooked, I assumed it was be cooked medium it was rare only option was with beets horrible option, we did order bread however They didn't tell us how much that would cost after we receive the bill. It was just two of us. the bread was $12 for each side l order additional bread l had no idea it was $ 12 , The bread was a total of $ 24. It would be nice if they would let you know what the cost are Please let me know , the wine that they give you in a glass is a quarter not half a quarter for approximately $24 , The total bill came to for two people with no dessert $194. They do charge additional for healthcare which does not apply to all of the employees since most of them work part-time so it's a scam then they charge an additional five dollars for mini martini glasses. They call it top off. They make up their own prices they need to be reported there's nothing special about this empty place, The restaurant in my opinion is a complete total rip off. I would never go there if it was on the house extremely disappointed the only thing that I liked about it was the two waiters please let the customers know when they order something how much things are, three drinks, two entrées and one salad $ 194 during the week , definitely not worth it, It was in my opinion A total waste of time will not be returning. We got there approximately at 8 pm there were maybe five customers there empty and you don't have to wonder why ! it's a switch in bait. Who n their right mind would spend $24 for bread there's a war going on how embarrassing shame on you no one the bread must have been flown in from Paris, not in a million years would I spend $24 on some table bread easiest way to lose a customer It was the worst experience ever super up charging you for health insurance adding on everything & the kitchen sink is an add-on extra charge quadruple just put n on the menu prices no ripping ure customer off sad& it's across the street from the parking structure to the hospital no atmosphere , when I got home the after affect of the alcohol l felt like I had some bootleg alcohol effect after I got sick to my stomach from the food, l had a migraine headache l had to take two headache pills, one pain pill and one acid reflux nausea pill I feel horrible. What a nightmare from hell experience several others experience similar experiences

    DineLA Dinner at A.O.C., A Cozy, Flavor-Packed Night in West Hollywood We visited A.O.C. last night for their DineLA prix fixe dinner, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The four of us opted into the $65 menu, and while every dish was thoughtfully prepared, a few standouts truly elevated the evening. The grilled market fish, which turned out to be trout, was the unexpected star. I would've never ordered trout on my own, but that's the magic of DineLA; it nudges you to try dishes you might normally skip. I'm genuinely glad I was "forced" into it because it ended up being one of the best bites of the night: perfectly cooked, beautifully seasoned, and paired with fideos and salbitxada that added depth and brightness. The cauliflower with curry and red wine vinegar was another standout. Spiced just right and bursting with flavor, it was one of those sides that could easily hold its own as a main. We also loved the Spanish goat cheese with chorizo and honey; rich, savory, and balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and crunch. It quickly became a table favorite. I ordered an amaretto sour, and it was perfectly crafted; smooth, balanced, and easily one of the best I've had in Los Angeles. The ambiance at A.O.C. is always inviting, but the fireplace made the evening feel especially cozy on a chilly LA night. It added warmth and atmosphere without feeling overdone. Whether you're a longtime fan or visiting for the first time, A.O.C.'s DineLA menu is a wonderful way to experience their seasonal, chef-driven cooking, especially when shared with family.

    FOOD We came for the DineLA menu and it was a great experience. We ordered a mix of the menu items. They bring it out as tapa style almost with the intention to share. My favorite was surprisingly the grilled salmon and also the broccolini. AMBIANCE There's both indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is darker with a more romantic vibe. Indoor is more pub-like. PARKING Street parking was relative easy to find on a Saturday evening at 5pm. Tip: they do reservations so make sure to utilize that. There was a large crowd waiting when we left at 8pm.

    spanish fried chicken & cornmeal waffle
    Mae M.

    Love coming to AOC! Recently dined in for lunch on the weekend and had a great experience. The Bacon Wrap Dates are sooo yummy and for a first time I tried the Sticky Bun and Fried Chicken and Waffles. Both were good! The waffle is a cornmeal waffle so it's bit more wheaty/grainy textured than a normal waffle which I think makes it unique.

    roasted carrots
    Sarah K.

    Super trendy atmosphere and good options for Dine LA. My favorite dish was the roasted carrots with beet purée, monte enebro & hazelnut brown butter. The menu was a bit confusing though because each dish had a letter next to it--D, N, or G. D is for dairy, N is for nuts, and G is for gluten.

    Mariel K.

    This venue at AOC is always amazing. The food being the number factor! Everything was delectable to perfection. Lots of favorites!!!

    Best cornbread I've ever had in my life

I happened to visit during the work week, so I couldn't get too crazy. lolol Mr. Roake: 5/5 There's aloe in it!

    No food I just stopped by for a drink. The sign outside caught my attention the unique design and…read morelayout on the inside is what drew me in. It's spacious and clean. One of the dopest bars I've seen thus far. Gives you that airport feel. From being in one of the airline's lounges to having a seat while sipping on your flight. The bartender was real cool. A group of 4 others inside and he was attentive to us all. He actually looked bored like he was hoping to get some action lol. I enjoyed my Old Fashioned. It was just right. And so was the flight lol. I came during happy hour but I would love to come back during the evening or late hours to see what the experience is also like.

The place is so cool and oh, so fun! The Aviator is a magnificently decorated and themed airplane bar which has a first class and coach section seats that are exactly like being on a real airplane along with seat belts, trays and movable arm chairs and a Flight Attendant bell to request service! Food: we were treated to fries which were delicious! The Aviator offers a nice appetizer menu along with specialty drinks themed to the bar. We ordered Aperol Spritzes and they were delicious and refreshing! All reasonably priced too, yay! They have "cart" service too which added to the airplane themed experience! Service: Splendid! The Bartender and Flight Attendant were attentive and friendly! My friend and I had a blast of fun and plan to visit again soon! If you haven't been to The Aviator yet, plan to do so! You'll be glad you did!
