"Modern — and even modernist — French fare gets pride of place at Partage, a partnership from the French trio composed of chef Yuri Szarzewski, pastry chef Vincent Pellerin, and manager Nicolas Kalpokdjian. Szarzewski’s three-, five-, and seven-course tasting menus rotate seasonally but consistently offer dishes prepared with equal parts technique and whimsy. Duck breast is plated with vibrant yellow sweet potato puree, lobster carpaccio comes with a quenelle of icy mango sorbet, and high-pigment flavorful sauces color in the negative space between slices of white fish. And the adjacent Le Club offers an impressive selection of Champagne.—Janna Karel, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest Know before you go: Allow at least 15 minutes to find parking in the too-small and rage-inducing parking lot." - Matthew Kang
