Providence // 6-20-2023

This is my favorite restaurant in LA, and quite possibly my favorite restaurant to revisit. As such, I will spare you the prose, and leave with you the visual story, indulged as part two of an unbelievably thoughtful present commemorating my graduation.

Ambiance:

Providence is an understated, yet richly luxurious dining experience. You will not find mahogany. The space is a modern LA bungalow, easily missed if not for a subtle entryway around the block from valet. While the team will be dressed Formal you can expect diners ranging from elegance to leisurewear, yet no ones experience is dampened in the slightest as the service gives the space and ease to match the diners' energy.

They recently reopened after a refresh that just as much gives "modern art aquarium" as it does "Incredibles-Metal-Balloon-Escape-Sequence," and yet it incredibly works, and avoids the easily overtly-brutalist concrete box feeling.

Teal velvet cradles the diners back with a marine respite from the minimalist tones. The lighting is not the easiest on people's faces for photography, but absolutely perfect for filtering the room.

Supplements:

They have wine pairings, A5, and truffle options.

We opted to skip the truffle, mainly due to a personal sense that truffle is frankly overused in fine dining. I should say, it has been over-represented to my palette. Certainly, this is because if you like truffle, you Like truffle—and want to indulge.

My feelings on it is that truffles are very much like Thor — he works best as a character that is sprinkled into his movies, timed right for maximum impact (Ragnarok was certainly a Hela movie). Too much, and it becomes overwhelming. I want movies featuring Thor, and dishes featuring truffle.

All too often you get All Truffle and then it overpowers the dish it is showcased in. I have had one too many Truffle-featuring pastas that obliterated the other flavors.

Pre-Seating Mocktail: my favorite, cranberry mint bubbly

Amuse Bouche: miscellaneous delicious things

I'm going to defer to my post on Jeune et Jolie // 3-30-2024 for my thoughts on fine dining's obsession withthe casual-snack-but-gourmet opener, but 'cheez it' aside the meal kicked off with art at no less a standard that I've come to know and love. The honeycombing, the perfect petals, and the unironically-delivered spritz of flavor a la vintage perfume bottle are all you need to see to know what kind of evening you are in for.

Course 1: One Potato, Two Potato

"golden kaluga caviar, garden herbs"

Resisting harping on the eternal Alina callback, this was respite; we were permitted to enjoy however we liked, and it was delicious.

Course 2: Shima Aji*

"armenian cucumber, basil from our garden"

My dining companion reports this was delicious. I however, was not in the mood to flirt with mortal peril, and thus was met mysteriously by a large pan of crystals that would soon be revealed to be incredibly hot salt in which fresh prawns were currently being cooked (though I pray, not alive).

While I don't love eating a thing while its face looks up at me (a commonality, I suspect, with my pescatarian colleague), I accept this meta commentary of my role in the food chain as a small price for the wild luxury of having a man in suit prepare a special dish tableside.

Course 3: Uni

"white asparagus, salted egg yolk"

I hate uni. It always feels like a human tongue. I liked this uni.

Course 3.5: Bread Course

Ah, red fife sourdough. Where would we be without a mission-driven carbohydrate resurrected through love and investment in local grains.

Course 4: Halibut

"clam bouillon, grilled fava bean"

Providence is known for their seafood and not one plate let us down. I particularly loved the diningware, which thankfully was heavy in the use of Actual Plates and also came with utensil holders that tickled our table. I love the design choices here - rather than Pollack with sauces, the food is served clean, while decorative elements baked into stone look painted with the ocean itself.

Course 5: Santa Barbara Vermilion Rockfish

"morel, sorrel, miner's lettuce"

Crisp. Light. No notes.

Course 6: A5 Wagyu

"charred eggplant, spring garlic confit, jus de boeuf"

I stand by the controversial opinion that the best* wagyu I have ever had was at Providence, a seafood restaurant of all places. This remains true even with 2023. Unlike many places who make wagyu a hyperbole, mixed into ground meats or flavored into nothing, the chefs here take care to allow the standout sear to remain the star, served with merely accents in a constellation of flavors. My far my favorite part of the meal despite not a single poor serving preceding it.

*best tied with the larger portion I ordered at Cut Beverly Hills, where my server, coincidentally a former Providence host, informed me that they curate the same cut of beef from the exact same supplier

Course 7: Desserts

peach, almond, shiso was served with house-made hawaiian dark chocolate (coconut, indonesian long pepper) and I'd elected for a light tea as we made our way through the additional plate of petit-fours. The artistry in the chocolate course was magnificent, and I counted at least five preparations in that one plate alone.

Overall Impression:

I have no hesitation; this is my favorite LA restaurant. I come anytime I can. I suggest you do too, even if you are not at heart a seafood lover.

I cannot be grateful enough for the magical evenings I have been blessed to enjoy.

@lachrymosestorm

There's a low laugh in his chest. "Say less."

A flash of ruby and an electric zap crackles through the air between them. There's now a table, draped with a fine red cloth and diningware, decorative candelabra as the centerpiece and drinks in high quality crystal glasses, all set and ready. And oh, would you look at that, they're now both seated across from one another in some luxury dining chairs. Soft music begins to play, softly setting a mood. When she looks down, she'll find herself in comfortable pajamas, they're red and covered in yellow duckies.

"I never could pass up on a woman who knows exactly what she wants~" honesty from the King of demons.

"And don't you look comfy~" he teased in an off-toned voice, different from his typical one.

Well, well, well.. That sass was certainly heard. But she couldn't help but grin.. He was funny wasn't he? She placed her hands on her hips to try to appear at least a little huffed over it, but she was fighting the urge to erupt into a series of giggles. "Listen, I'm a woman who knows what she wants, so if I have to buy you a drink to know if you own a pair of duckie pajamas I will!" She leaned forward but this time she did giggle a little. It was impossible not to. "But good to know that if you accept I get to wear the duckie pants tonight. I'll dive into them so quick your head will spin.. But just know that's the only thing I'm quick in." A playful wink shot his way. Lucifer was quite the funny charmer wasn't he?
