Monsieur James Beard Outstanding Chef Michel Richard returns to L.A., where he established his culinary fame with Citrus in the '80s. The Citrus of the new millennium is set in Social Hollywood, of all places. Luckily, the restaurant's massive door is offset from the sanctimonious velvet rope, and the whimsical lemony-lime interior with vaulted ceilings easily helps you forget the club scene right next door. And the food? Well, with dishes like lobster with fake "begula" caviar and chicken faux gras, it's the playful magic of Chef Richard—with the lofty prices to boot.
