"At this iconic Californian restaurant and arts enclave, walk down a long, dark hallway to find the glowing dining room with the kitchen at one end and the bar at the other, and a big fireplace centered between. Foreign Cinema might be known best for the movies flickering on the patio, but on a chilly night, it’s not wrong to snag a seat by the fire and feast on that Madras sesame fried chicken." - Becky Duffett, Eater Staff
