Los Angeles’s Best New Restaurants Of 2017

"A lot of LA dinners involve sharing plates in a loud restaurant while yelling over a hip-hop soundtrack, but sometimes you just need something different. Something really special. That something is Dialogue. It’s hidden inside a food court on the Third Street Promenade (stay with us), in a tiny, fairly quiet room, and they do a 21-course tasting menu that changes with the seasons. Despite what that last part might make you think, the magic of Dialogue is that it isn’t the least bit stuffy. The food is super creative, but more importantly, all 21 courses taste incredible. This is a once-in-a-lifetime restaurant (you’ll end up spending around $700 on dinner for two), but Dialogue is one of the greatest special occasion dinners you can have in LA. Or anywhere." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
