Michael Mina has a new restaurant in L.A. called XIV that's on Sunset (at Crescent Heights I believe?) The entire restaurant is tasting menu...I don't believe they serve any true entree-sized portions there. We dined there a couple weeks ago and it was actually really good. There are various tasting quantities (8, 11, 14, and 30 items)...we chose the 11 item option...three hours and two uncomfortably full stomachs later we were done. I can't imagine ordering the 14 or 30 item option.

One of the tasting options was a foie gras terrine which I'm a sucker for. Only downside to me was we were seated outside in a converted bar/patio area which didn't seem to have the same atmosphere as the interior, which was designed by Phillipe Starck.
