Patina calls itself "a quiet haven from the stress and tumult of everyday life," so leave your cell phone behind and dive into this famed restaurant that makes its home just inside the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown L.A. It's the place that made Chef Joachim Splichal famous, where the German-born, award-winning tocque melds French and California cuisine into something uniquely his. The menu is ever-changing, but if his Octopus á la Plancha is available, don't miss it, for it's some of the best we've ever tasted. Try the tasting menu, six courses for $120, or go for the famed Pepper Crusted Jidori Chicken, the plump and sweet Diver Sea Scallops or the crispy Wild Striped Bass served with a potato confit. The Peanut Butter Torte tops off any entree with a flourish with a mix of sensual flavors; the whole dining experience at Patina is practically orgasmic!
