Looking for French or Cal-French, must be delicious. I am thinking Opus, Ortolan, or Little Door. Spago is out because he's been there before. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Of the three you're thinking of, I suggest Ortolan. The noveau cuisine and regal decor and dim lights will sweep them off their feet.

If you want something more traditionally French, in a lovely setting, and food, setting, and rubbing shoulders with celebrities, I'd suggest LaCachette, Bel Air Hotel Dining Room, Ritz Carlton Huntington Restaurant, Melisse, or Jiraffe.

Melisse. Perfect. But expensive.

La Cachette?
