Few evenings overlooking LA’s 405 are as thrilling as Hotel Angeleno’s Monday night dinner and jazz. Already rating a 9 in terms of terms of food, atmosphere and service, on Mondays, from 7:30 to 9:30, the blues-scented Cross Hart Jazz Experience renders the Angeleno a 10. A “must” destination for connoisseurs of mood, the Angeleno’s West Lounge and Restaurant offers the ultimate urban seduction. There is something curiously mesmerizing about being 17 stories above the teeming traffic, watching the rest of LA struggle bumper to bumper as you swill a potent pomegranate martini. The luxe-yet-casual vibe is the perfect backdrop for talented chef Mark Mittleman’s complex and mouthwatering six-course gourmet Italian taster menu, which features a pear and arugula salad, a decadent rack of lamb, luscious tiramisu and molten cake. The wine selection is tempting. The 2004 Newton Chardonnay and Kenneth Polk Pinot, 2004, proved excellent choices. If you do get carried away, enjoy the night tucked safely between 300-count Italian linens. For more information, visit www.hotelangeleno.com or call 866-Angeleno.
