"Chef José Andrés’s Downtown stunner, San Laurel, has some of the best views of the San Gabriel Mountains and the cultural Walt Disney Concert Hall. Spanish food rules the menu with dishes like fennel soup made with crab and Manchego foam and a lobster salpicon. The staff prepares other specialties, like the mole rack of lamb, but the tasting menu is its own experience. On chilly nights, indoor dining is also available." - Rebecca Roland
