Description

The cheese-and-charcuterie-intensive inspiration for L.A.'s new generation of wine bars, Suzanne Goin's pan-Mediterranean A.O.C. is a fantasy of a modern small-plates restaurant, the kind of place you drop into for a glass of Friulian Tocai and a plate of sliced prosciutto, a Cairanne and some bacon-wrapped dates with Parmesan - or basically anything that comes with Goin's spicy Catalan-influenced romesco sauce, which would probably be irresistible even if you garnished it with a brick. You could drink and eat like this all night if you remembered to make a reservation - and if A.O.C. didn't unreasonably stop serving so early.

    The Joy of Cooking . . . and Kissing

    Photos by Anne Fishbein There was a lot of kissing going on at A.O.C. the other night. Couples at the bar, mostly. Nothing wrong with kissing, it's just that I'm not so used to seeing such PDA in L.A. Paris, along the Seine, yes. West Third Street... More »

    Not a big place so a reservation is recommended, although I have eaten at the bar before as a walk-in. Definitely a restaurant where you want to take advantage of the specials and let your waiter recommend wine for your meal - they know what they're talking about. Stand-outs on the menu are ANYTHING on the cheese or charcuterie lists (OMG, the bacon wrapped dates), the beet salad, the grilled skirt steak, and the broccoli side dish.

    Delicious tapas and excellent wine selection, but pricey.

    You love cheese. This place has it. Lots of it. Fun with a big group to sample everything from the menu. Great wine list. $20 corking fee.
