it’s dineLA restaurant week ! a great opportunity to check out restaurants in the los angeles area for a discount, and possibly find new favorites i had lunch at vinoteque on melrose yesterday and was pleased with the delicious food. it’s a cute lil place with both garden and indoor seating. my dear friend and i sat outside, right next to an herb garden! the service was attentive, although a bit slow in bringing out each course. we each ordered something different so we could share. everything tasted amazing, and i especially loved the mascarpone panna cotta. i would definitely go again!

and now, i present to you the delicious food!
