I wouldn't count Four Seasons or Palm, because they're displaced NY restaurants. And, quite frankly, I find the Palm very ordinary, in NY, LA, Chicago, Detroit, Mexico City, and everywhere else it's been franchised. But I agree with the rest of your list. I would certainly add Ivy, Chinois, Crustacean, Mimosa, Matsuhisha (sp?), and many many others.

Fact is, good eating establishment snob that I am, I used to live in the Bay Area (Concord) and frequently ate in San Francisco, at the better places, like the Blue Fox, etc.
Some of those were well established when L.A.'s Tommy's was still a displaced White Castle...
Still, L.A. has come from behind very well, hasn't it.


Four Seasons, Chez Melange, L'Orangarie, Palm, Valetino, Spago, Vito's, Michael's, Four Oaks, Le Deux Cafe, Regent Beverly Wilshire, and that's only a few that come to mind, and all without leaving town...
These are also places I've personally visited and found exceptional.


I only listed as many as I did, so anyone planning to visit L.A. need not stray very far to locate a fine restaurant.

So it goes.

I thought San Francisco and Seattle were pretty decent places to eat as well.

Yup. Lots of great places to eat in the San Francisco Bay Area. (And let's not limit it to just SF.)
And the scenery is pretty. But, never mind, LA has come up from behind, after all.
Hehehehehehe.
