Wife and the Somm — Restaurant in Los Angeles

We’ve dined here several times when visiting LA, it’s always been a standout choice for us. Unfortunately, tonight was disappointing.

I made a reservation weeks ago, yet when we arrived, we were met with a film crew and a table dining that was set up for what appeared to be a reality TV shoot. No one on staff acknowledged what was happening. While we were likely seated outside the camera shot, the whole atmosphere felt off.

As we left, we noticed a waiver and liability sign placed to the side of the entry door - something we hadn’t seen when entering. It basically informed us that by entering we agreed to this.

It’s disappointing that we weren’t informed of the filming when booking, confirming the reservation the day prior, or even upon arrival. I understand this may bring in revenue for the restaurant, and it’s LA, but customers deserve the choice to opt out of that experience. Not having made a drive to the restaurant and maybe or maybe not see a sign - what would have happened if we had seen the sign and decided not to enter? Do we get penalized for a “no show”, do we need to make last minute dinner plans at 7:30pm on a Saturday? It’s disappointing.

We’ve always enjoyed dining here, but based on tonight, I’m not sure...

Not a place I would have found without truly looking. Known for their fine wines and charcuterie, we went for tapas as we already started that earlier. The table split, the delicious Wagu Steak, July pork chops, poached pear salad ad the sautéed mushrooms, and a side of potatos. for dessert, we had a delicious chocolate cake home made on premises. the service was amazingNot a place I would have found without truly looking.

We are neighborhood locals and before we talk food we need to talk how FAIR their prices are. As a white gentrifier, I have noticed Glassell Park change in a lot of ways good and I’m sure many, bad. However, This quality driven restaurant is not even for a second attempting a $22 glass of house wine unlike some spots who currently exist in Los Feliz and are breaking ground here in GP at some point. I think and hope we can make sure spots like La Esquina and Wife & Somm all get lots of love and traffic while respecting the evolving demo of the neighborhood. That being said, I have enjoyed so much from the menu and we are coming back again excitedly now that we see new, seasonal mouth watering additions. Charcuterie and cheese - yep. All of the sausage board offerings- yep. The shrimp app - omg. Pasta of the month, chicken main, lettuce based dishes- sublime. Eyeing the Octopus and new fish dish!!! We leave so full and happy that we haven’t left room for desert yet but intend to...
