Local restaurants
The fun and stylish Blue on Blue restaurant at Maison 140's sister hotel, the Avalon Hotel, is definitely worth paying a visit. Boa Steakhouse (+1 310 899 4466) at the Grafton Hotel on Santa Monica Boulevard is a contemporary steakhouse with a buzzy ambiance. Koi (+1 310 659 9449) on North La Cienega Boulevard may be a Japanese restaurant with more style than substance – but what style! The flagship restaurant of celebrity chef Walter Puck, LA's king of Asian fusion food, Spago (+1 310 385 0880) on North Canon Drive has an open kitchen and is renowned for its blend of US, European and Asian cuisine and excellent service. The 8-course tasting menus are definitely worth the extra dollars. Incidentally, Puck's first apprenticeship was at L'Oustau de Baumanière. Cut (+1 310 276 8500) at the Beverly Wilshire hotel on Wilshire Boulevard is one of Wolfgang Puck's many projects, and is a stylish modern take on the classic American steakhouse.Local bars
