"Extravagant preparations and a striking space help this WeHo establishment stand out from the rest. Whether you opt for the 11-course prix fixe dinner ($125/person; entire table only) or choose something from the Menu Plaisir, you'll encounter creations l..."

"The extravagant special-occasion restaurant with maxed-out service, exquisite appointments and a menu with breathtaking prices is losing ground just about everywhere. But there has been a shift in tastes, and restaurateurs are struggling to catch up...."

"Again, I have to say that for the most part, the food was delicious. however, given the slow service, the repeated issues with needing to return items that had nuts in it, and absolute disregard for serving us the wine that I was paying $75 for, I have to..."

"You will at Ortolan, a new French bistro on Third, whose name refers to a tiny songbird in the bunting family. Renowned chef Christophe Emé (of L’Orangerie) and girlfriend Jeri Ryan (yes, of Star Trek and Boston Public) have created a dreamy sp..."

"Chef Christophe Emé, and partner Jeri Ryan, acquired the space formerly occupied by Linq and after an extensive redesign have opened Ortolan (in French, a tiny, rare game bird). Where do we start: the bar and lounge, the vault with its 24-foot-long commu..."

"The main room is as decadent as the French fare served, with long velvet curtains, crystal chandeliers and creamy leather booths and banquettes. Fresh potted herbs creep up the walls of the dark, romantic bar; couples canoodle next to a crackling fire in..."

"Opened by Christophe Eme (formerly of L'Orangerie) and his girlfriend/actress Ryan, Ortolan is bedecked by 14 crystal chandeliers, flickering candelabras, antique mirrors, cream-colored booths and the cake taker: a "living wall" of plant life under a glas..."
