14 Splurge-Worthy LA Restaurants Perfect for Special Occasions

"Michelin-starred Maude is a 24-seat treasure opened by chef Curtis Stone in 2014. Stone, along with chef de cuisine Osiel Gastelum (formerly of Somni), collaborate on the restaurant’s nine-course menu inspired by seasonal California produce for $215 per person. Savory courses are served in the main dining room that peers into the kitchen, while the final courses including cheese and dessert are presented upstairs in the restaurant’s wine loft. Two tiers of wine pairings are available to enhance the menu; the classic pairing is $155 per person and the reserve pairing is $255 per person. Reservations are available on OpenTable." - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
