Electric Bleu — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I almost don’t want to write this because soon it’s going to be impossible to get a reservation here.

First off, my partner has a ton of food allergies, and the staff handled everything flawlessly. Huge points for that. We started with a half dozen oysters, fresh, cold, and perfect. They came with lemon, horseradish, mignonette, and (by request) a little hot sauce. Simple, classic, and delicious. The heirloom tomato salad was next, and it tasted like summer. Juicy tomatoes tossed in a vinaigrette that was just right—not too salty, not too acidic. Definitely grab a baguette and use it to soak up what’s left on the plate. The fig and eggplant dish was a standout. The smokiness of the fig with the creamy eggplant purée was such a good combo, unexpected and so good. Then came the halibut, cooked perfectly. It sat on a fresh herb purée that tied it all together. I just wanted a little more of that sauce because it was so good. We sat at the chef’s counter, which I highly recommend.

Watching the kitchen work while getting such great service made the whole meal even better.

Run, don’t walk. This is hands down the best restaurant in Mar...

Electric Bleu is an absolute gem. The food is clearly the star here and every single dish was phenomenal. We got the tasting menu and were blown away! Dishes that look simple have complex flavors and the sauces — WOW! We adored the duck, but the chicken and pepper steak were going to diners all around us and looked incredible. Also, loved sitting at the bar and watching the action in the kitchen. The chef/owner even stopped by to see how we were enjoying our meal.

Huge plus that they have seasonal dishes. The tomato salad (one of their seasonal offferings) was getting rave reviews from diners on both sides and looked incredible (I don’t even like tomatoes but I want to try this dish!).

When we left we promptly made our next reservation. Can’t wait to try everything on their menu.

Also worth noting that their prices were on the mark. Absolutely recommend...

We dined in several times, and the food has been beautifully delectable. Chef Craig created an experience that completely transformed the definition of neighborhood fine dining without pretension. The food is wonderfully refined, the setting is beautifully robust without being overtly elitist. This restaurant hits the spot for a subdued yet elegant regular stop. It feels gastronomically great yet not pretentious. I love the vibe it possesses. Food is a living and breathing experience, and I felt real connectedness being there. The service staff is super passionate and possess a level of energy not seen elsewhere. Way da go owners! What gift it is to have a beautiful local bistro in our elegant yet sleepy...
