Mid-city's A.O.C. is one of L.A.’s most lovely restaurants with a secluded outdoor patio and a wine room for private parties as well as French-influenced cuisine made with of-the-season ingredients.

Beloved by their customers and revered by the national food press, Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne are the team behind A.O.C., Lucques, Tavern and the Larder. A.O.C.’s new location is one of the most romantic in town. The outdoor patio is the coveted spot; greenery and bistro-style seating combine for a most pleasant way to enjoy Goin’s James Beard Award-winning Cal-Med cuisine.

Open for lunch and dinner, menu items here indulge the senses while honoring the season. Co-owner and sommelier Caroline Styne has put together a top notch wine list that emphasizes biodynamic and organic wines as well as a seleciton of French vintages. Desserts are expertly executed here: the chocolate desserts especially so.
