One of my all time favorite restaurants in LA. The vibe is cool and definitely pleases your palate with an explosion of unique flavors. The ambience is casual but at the same time classy and romantic

Eater

With a new full bar and revamped California-style menu, the tastefully designed eatery is perfectly poised for drinks with friends at the bar up front or a quiet date in one of the back booths .

Everything is delicious there! We had a cheese plate and then the sweet potatoes/bacon and the curried cauliflower , everything was very tasty and the service is great too.

Richard Morris

Utterly delicious and the staff was completely cool and fun. I'd recommend this place highly and although I didn't get it for myself, I almost at all of my friend's chix & waffles ... Amazing!!!

The stunning Spanish-style patio at the new location of AOC looks out onto a lemon tree-lined street, making you feel like you're a world away from the L.A. crazy. Brunch goes from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Read more

Tons of small plates , as well as larger platters. Large selection of wine , beers and cocktails . Great ambience, great service. Loved the polenta with mushrooms !

Connie Chiu

Love the beef cheeks ! So tender and flavorful. Chicken liver crostini and Spanish fried chicken were among the favs. Focaccia and winter squash and cheese plates are good too.

Nathan Kam

Fantastic menu and the fried chicken is a must have! The bacon wrapped dates shouldn't be missed either.

Thomas Colton

Concede the fact that you will have to valet. Concede the fact that a cocktail is $14 minimum. Concede the fact that it's packed. Now what? You have just an outstanding wine bar . Get the silver fox.

Yvette Liu

Must order fried spicy chicken & the fusion flavor Suckling pig conflict fish with coconut rice ❤️ try and reserve the patio seats

Epicurious

Order the rustic pãtés and the lamb skewers with sunchokes and niçoise olives . There are about 50 wines by the glass and many more by the bottle, most well chosen. Read more

Great seating on the patio in this old Spanish style building. My lunch was the Vintner's Platter. Delicious. Great to see my son, sister and brother-in-law

Danny Nathan

Had a delicious dinner here the other night. Standouts were the clams and cherry cobbler for dessert . Quiet/cozy. Good for a date night .

Jared Northrop

Visual cues puts you in southern France. Very cool space. Upstairs lounge sets a great romantic mood. changed wine format, still good but no more short pours and carafes .

Cynthia S

Everything was delicious! Pictured are the Polenta with Mushrooms , Scallops , Chocolate Tart and Butterscotch Pot de Creme.

Carlos Pacheco

If you're dining here with a group you have to go for the Lamb Tagine . It's a must!

Epicurious

Small plates of delicious food like rustic pâtés are the norm here. Make sure you book your table well in advance, as it is still hard to find a seat at this popular spot, five years after opening!

Fig panna cotta with melon sorbet is really, really, ridiculously good

Morgan Greenwald

The most incredible meal! Must get the chicken panzanella and the green goddess cocktail !

Dave Huth

AOC has lost a little lustre in my eyes. A little pricey and food is good, but not off the charts. Much prefer Cube on La Brea. Amazing cheese and the food is phenomenal!
