This Little Piggy Went: L.A. Market

L.A. Market is within walking distance of our old condo.

It looks pretty cool for a hotel restaurant.

Sadly, the food is only ok and not nearly as exciting as the modern decor.

Tuna dynamite -- lump crab, tuna, sushi rice, red chili aioli ($14).
010

Winter wild mushroom cappuccino soup.
016

Dungeness crab, petite gem lettuce, whole grain mustard, Jerez vinaigrette.
019

Pan-roasted Scottish salmon, Japanese pumpkin ravioli, roasted broccolini, truffle broth, crispy shallots.
021

Herb-roasted chicken, blistered baby tomatoes, garlic French beans, piquillo pepper polenta.
023

Short rib, pomme puree, blue foot mushroom, cipollini, merlot reduction.
026

Cotton candy.
035

Apple pie, caramel rum sauce.
037

Pumpkin cheesecake, egg nut crème.
038

Vanilla crème brûlée, vanilla cookie.
041

I think brunch is better than dinner.

A hefty bread basket and amuse bouche didn't hurt.

Tuna dynamite -- lump crab, tuna, sushi rice, red chili aioli. Yes, again. I like this.
024

Grilled figs and Serrano ham, aged goat cheese, port reduction.
030

Kaffir lime boneless lamb loin, truffle garbanzo bean puree, roasted eggplant.
035

L.A. Market Burger -- fresh Angus chuck, Bravo Farms white cheddar, applewood bacon, balsamic grilled onions, lettuce, tomato on grilled brioche bun with fries.
040

Brick chicken, chorizo, black olives, green pea coulis.
050

Chocolate truffle cake, vanilla bean ice cream.
052

Lemon tart, wild berry compote, meringue.

L.A. Market is lucky that it is in the Marriott. I'm not sure it would survive on its own.

  2. It's sad to think that any place with cotton candy doesn't live up to the hype.

  3. Agreed. I went once for lunch and it was underwhelming.
