New Year's Eve dining guide

Know something we don't?
Located on the street level of the shiny Disney Concert Hall, Patina is one of the easiest restaurants to find in downtown L.A. Just follow the glare to the corner of 2nd and Grand and wait to be seated. Everything about Patina is upscale, like the building that houses it, and though a palpable soullessness pervades the highly modern space, it’s hard to find fault with the menu. Items such as wild Scottish salmon filet, seared yellowfin tuna, duo of Berkshire pork (“Roasted loin and crispy belly,” the menu helpfully explains) and crispy jidori chicken breast are just a few of the remarkable main courses available. The knowledgeable staff is always happy to make a wine suggestion to accompany your meal, although even the by-the-glass prices can be substantial. The best dining area is on the outdoor patio, screened from the street by bushy bamboo hedges and shaded from the sun by wide umbrellas.
