482383 Wed Jan 23 17:48:06 -0800 2008 10 2 Los Angeles Area 0 3326190 I'm looking for something new. I've been to the Providence, Grace, Hatfields, Valtentino, Campanile, Water Grill, Josie, Joe's, Bastide, etc. etc. restaurants already. And I love the smaller joints, the bistros, the ethnic places, and the various dives, but that's not what I'm after right now. I don't always keep up with the new openings, so tell me where to try! A good-to-great wine list is a plus. Wed Jan 23 17:48:06 -0800 2008 20598 OliveBelle 1 3326203 Let's just cut to the chase. Have you been to Urasawa? If not then it should be your first stop on your quest for the Holy Quail.

Is Urasawa a straight up great sushi bar, a la Nozawa? Or do they offer things with a twist and a good wine list to go with it? Any idea about the wine lists at Comme Ca or Osteria Mozza?
