Having loved Momofuku Ko so much, I couldn't pass the chance to visit Majordomo, David Chang's first LA outing. The food here couldn't be more different to Ko Ep; sharing plates of comfort food rather than a finely crafted tasting menu but certainly no less satisfying.

The restaurant itself seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, within a huge industrialised space. Half the tables were outdoors where we were seated, which unfortunately did get a bit chilly despite the heaters.

Luckily the food redeemed the whole experience; interesting flavours yet felt like comfort food you've always wanted. My favourite was the Pork Belly, it's a marvel how the skin was light & crispy, yet the meat remained juicy & tender .

1 Roast Pork Belly.
2 Bing with Spicy Lamb - a Korean pancake with cumin-spiced lamb - Where has this been all my life?!
3 Stuffed Peppers Benton's sack sausage, buttermilk.
4 Tapioca Lo Mein - perfectly balanced with garlic & chilli oil.
5 Marinated Black Cod
6 Strawberry Trifle - served with panna cotta and crispy biscuits. Probably the best version I've ever eaten!

An amazing meal from start to finish! This Scottish langoustine raviole with carrot purée was one of my favourites, and looks stunning.

The restaurant has a very smart interior, having the same architect as it's namesake in Paris. The bar wall is lined by blue/green glass bottles and wood panelling throughout gives a classic feel. The staff were immediately both welcoming and informative, and was excellent throughout the night.

The seasonal tasting menu was just right for the cold autumn/winter . The foie-gras, passion fruit, mango & toasted brioche was the perfect combination. The diver scallops were cooked with butternut, walnuts & chestnuts and was surprisingly delicious. Another highlight was the Scottish saddle of venison, which was tender and game-y, served with the richest veneer sauce, yum! The first dessert of coconut & mango combo was refreshing, and finishing the meal with a masterful chocolate creation.

Their name comes from having 110 wines on their books (!), too bad I don't have the enzyme to try all of them. But all I need is a Gruner Veltliner and I'm happy!

We originally reserved seats at the bar counter, but was offered a table downstairs which had views of the open kitchen. Overall, the restaurant decor is very smart and modern. The ambience downstairs was warm and comfortable, served by a French waitress who was immediately friendly and enthusiastic.

We opted for the tasting menu, which started off with a couple of hors d'oeuvres, including a fried salmon skin which was nice and crispy to tease your palate. The starter was foie gras with rhubarb that goes very well with the bread, although the rhubarb made the dish slightly too sour. The second fish course , Arctic char glazed in a coat made of seaweed and wild garlic, was almost too beautiful to eat. The fatty fish was balanced well with the accompanied drops of smoked yoghurt, miso and bergamot. For mains, we had perfectly cooked lamb from Elwy Valley, served with slightly underdone artichoke and goats curd, which complements the lamb extremely well.

Last but not least, the lemon dessert coated with kalamata olives and rosemary mix, with shards of crunchy meringue was the perfect combination of sweet, yet refreshing and fresh. Overall, a uniquely presented tasting menu, although not completely French, the international ingredients definitely worked well.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch with live jazz. It was a vast venue on the first floor overlooking Cabot Square. The window seats were popular but we sat in the middle, which was closer to the live jazz musicians. The decor was a throwback and dated( but pleasantly nostalgic with portraits of jazz musicians littered around.

We had the three course menu. The starters of smoke salmon and prawn cocktail were underwhelming. Roast beef was okay, but the Yorkshire pudding was huge and perfectly made. The sides of carrots and broccoli were unseasoned and bland. For desserts, we had chocolate torte and the apple crumble which were average.

The highlight of the meal was the live jazz music.
