Providence

Though Providence may not be on the coast, it is one of Los Angeles' best dining choices when it comes to the world's premium seafood. Presenting wild shellfish and seafood in its purest form, this sleek restaurant is designed to reflect the ocean, with subtle design nods to coastal living. Owned by Donato Poto and Executive Chef Michael Cimarusti, Providence allows the food to be the star, with a menu that will make you want to move in permanently. Plus, according to many guests, you must make sure to save room for the cheese cart!
