Providence (Los Angeles, CA)

Providence 5955 Melrose Ave Los Angeles, CA 90038 Dining date: 1/16/14 I’ve generally considered Providence one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles since it opened in 2005.

Ohshima (Orange, CA)

Ohshima 1956 N Tustin St Orange, CA 92865 Dining date: 12/21/13 Ohshima is one of Orange County’s notable and more popular sushi shops.

Nopa (San Francisco, CA) [2]

Nopa 560 Divisadero St San Francisco, CA 94117 Dining date: 12/26/13 Nopa opened almost eight years ago but continues to be one of the more popular restaurants in San Francisco.

Perbacco 230 California St San Francisco, CA 94111 Dining date: 12/23/13 Perbacco has been open for some time now (2006) but this was my first visit. For a number of years, I kept hearing good things about the restaurant but it never quite made it high enough on the list to actually go. On my…
