LA Restaurant Week - Michael's on Naples

Well, it is that time of year again – LA Restaurant Week. For those of you who are not familiar with the event, restaurants from all over LA offer a fixed menu for a fixed price. It is a great opportunity to try a new restaurant (only downside is it excludes Saturdays). This time I chose Michael’s on Naples. Their menu is below (it looks really, really tasty), and the cost per person is $44, excluding alcohol, gratuity and tax. I hope you can make it!
