The food here is absolutely delicious. We came for their prefixed menu on New Year’s Eve and every single item that we chose was absolutely amazing, it was also the perfect portion size for us. The crab fritters was so good and every ingredient that was combined for the dishes were so perfect. The cheesecake was phenomenal and I would definitely go back to try their regular menu.

I must say I had such a pleasant experience at this restaurant. Firstly the valet service was really on point. Walking in we were greeted by pleasant people. You really felt like they were happy to have you. We were offered a nice booth which still was spacious and separated from others. There are options here to eat on the patio area also but we chose indoors. Had a great experience with our server Suzanne and also Mike. There was another guy can't remember his name but I know that his son also worked there before or presently he was great. We felt like royalty, thank you. The food was great and tasty. To top it off the wait wasn't long and it was Mother's Day oh, wow.

We had a perfect dinner at AOC last night. The food was delicious, the portions generous, the cocktails and wine were wonderful, and again, portions generous (no 4oz wine pours here !) the Farmer’s Plate was especially great. Our server, Jake, was attentive, courteous, helpful, and kind. The environment is beautiful and reminded us of some long dinners we’ve had in Spain. We’ll be coming back again soon, and cannot recommend this place highly enough. The service and environment alone are worth your time, and of course the food is incredible too. What’s not to love?

Lovely atmosphere to have Sunday brunch. Made a reservation and was seated right away. The waiter was nice and attentive without having to ask for anything. My only negative was that my party and I were sharing all of the food and we requested that everything be brought out at the same time and it was not leaving some of the food cold. We were also a little disappointed in the Spanish Friend Chciken and waffles as it wasn't as flavorful as we thought it would be, but thankfully we also ordered the sweet potato hash which was much better. We came around 1030 am or so which was perfect because it can get really crowded especially on Sundays. There is some street parking and valet is available.

A.O.C is a cute wine bar serving market focused small plates that highlight the fresh flavors of each season. The wine list is extensive and the cocktails are all unique with a twist. This was the perfect setting for a girls night as we got to try a variety of menu items paired with our delicious cocktails. @eatswithedith on Instagram for more detailed reviews! ?Ordered: 1. The farmer’s plate - roasted vegetables, hummus, burrata & grilled toast: 10/10 I could taste how fresh the grilled veggies were and the toast was so great with the different dipping options. The burrata was super fresh and light while the hummus was dense and flavorful. 2. Focaccia with grilled white trumpet mushrooms, asiago, taleggio & sherry: 9/10 This dish was decadent and pungent. The mushrooms had an overpowering fragrance and added an earthy taste to the strong cheese. 3. Grilled sea bream, coconut rice, spicy greens, cashews & kumquat sambal: 10/10 This was one of the highlights of the night! The spicy marinade was so delicious and the coconut rice gave this dish a nice balance of sweetness. 4. Clams, sherry, green garlic & toast: 10/10! All I can say is.. I could eat 10 pieces of toast with the amazing sauce that the clams were cooked in. This dish reminds me a lot of the clams dish at DAMA which I adore as well. 5. Weiser farm fingerlings, crème fraîche & chives: 6/10 The texture of this dish threw me off as I like crispy potatoes a lot more than mashed. Also, the creme fraiche was a bit overpowering and overall the dish lacked flavor. 6. Chocolate torte - hazelnut praline, espresso cream & candied hazelnuts: 7/10 This dessert had a strong chocolate flavor which I liked! ?Price: $88/person with 2 drinks

My first review on google after years of dinning. Firstly the ambience was very comfortable, truly a warm inviting environment. We sat on the patio which was eloquent and comfortable. A.O.C deserves at least a 4.8 overall and a full 5 stars for me. Our server was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu and paired each dish with a wine pairing that truly complemented the dishes. Each course was delicious!. We tried the farmer’s vegetables which was surprisingly our favorite dish, definitely give it a try. The scallop and clam entrees were both perfectly cooked and seasoned. And for dessert the butterscotch moose with a port pairing, was one of the best pairings and dessert in my life. Definitely give this restaurant a try if you’re in Los Angeles.

Everything about AOC is special ✨ The food is delicious, the setting is beautiful and the service is top notch! I can’t choose a favorite dish but the fried chicken was very tasty and moist, the fish tajine was wonderful and the butterscotch pot de crème was perfect. The homemade assortment of chocolate were out of this world delicious! ?

Love everything about this place! So charming, inside and out. It’s 9am on Sunday and I was able to book a prime brunch time reservation for 12:30pm. Upon arrival, we were promptly seated on the terrace and from there, the experience just gets better. The service was efficient and before we even decided on food, we were imbibing on two silky cocktails. Even though I had chicken and waffles the weekend before, I couldn’t resist getting it here. Spanish Fried Chicken and Cornflour Waffle with Jamon Serrano. Say no more! There’s a reason why many photos of this dish exist. The A.O.C. Brioche was also a hit! If you enjoy a croque madame, you’ll be all over this dish. The frisée provides a great balance and helps cleanse the palate so you can easily finish the whole plate without feeling like a blob. Overall a wonderful dining experience. Perfect for a date or catching up with friends and family.
