"It’s perfectly normal to think you’re the most cosmopolitan person in Los Angeles at Camélia. You drink umeshu-infused martinis under a sultry glow from orb lights and eat French-Japanese food that injects fun into bistro classics, like duck frites and a ham katsu croque madame crowned with an orange yolk. Upscale doesn’t translate to stuffy, though. The early 2000s hip-hop playlist bounces off the wood paneling, and the staff sneaks jokes into every menu suggestion. It’s all of the pomp and sophistication of a high-end restaurant without compromising on the fun, so prolong your night here for as long as your budget permits." - team infatuation

"A restaurant in the Arts District that typically operates only for dinner pivoted to lunch service beginning June 13, maintained daytime hours through the weekend, and then returned to abbreviated evening hours on June 16. Co-owner Courtney Kaplan said the perception that the area has been chaotic is inaccurate and is hurting business; she expressed gratitude for customer support and encouraged people to come dine." - Rebecca Roland
"An Arts District Japanese bistro that adjusted hours in response to curfew guidance, opening from 4:00 to 7:30 p.m. and running early specials — $12 martinis or champagne, half-price oysters and half-price burgers — to draw early-dinner customers before resuming its regular menu for the remainder of service." - Mona Holmes
"Located inside the curfew zone, the restaurant shifted to daytime service and began running hours from 12:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. starting Friday, June 13 to comply with local curfew restrictions and changing neighborhood conditions." - Rebecca Roland
