Christopher’s at Wrigley Mansion
Revered Valley chef Christopher Gross takes it to the next level at his newest and best restaurant. The décor, views, multi-course French-inspired menu ($250 per person) and service are all spectacular, so cough up that $500-plus and fasten your seatbelt.

Renata’s Hearth
The seasonal menu at this Latin-influenced eatery at the Arizona Biltmore zeroes in on seafood-focused small plates (oysters, ceviche, grilled shrimp) and shareable platters for the table. Massive slabs of fatty pork belly, roasted to an umber crunch, are supremely satisfying.

FLINT by Baltaire
This gorgeous L.A. import is all about wood and smoke – turning out wood-grilled or wood oven-roasted dishes such as steak, seafood and chicken, all given a Middle Eastern or Mediterranean accent.
