Combine a breath taking venue with unorthodox food pairings, fold in 1940's styled uniforms {designed by MAD MEN costumer Allison Leach} and you've got First and Hope of Los Angeles. Saturday evening we reserved a table for four at this mid-century vibe eatery. I'm always impressed by an establishment that offers an amuse bouche accompanied with a tangible theme. Therefore, I was instantly smitten.
We only dined for dessert, but were dazzled by the odd selection. I had a marshmallow, lemon custard macaroon. Husband had the NYPD Shakedown consisting of mini Boston creme doughnuts, a decadent chocolate dipping sauce and a mini strawberry milkshake. My pal Rachel had the 7 Deadly Sins of Chocolate. All in all the confectioner was new best friend. This is definitely a stop worth your time and money. {images via L.A. Times}
