First visit to Baroo https://www.baroolosangeles.com/ , a fine dining Korean restaurant in the Arts District in downtown LA was really impressive - ranging from the high quality cooking, pacing, service to the laid back ambience. Also, in many restaurants non-alcoholic pairings are often an afterthought but here they might be more interesting and thoughtful than the alcohol ones. If this restaurant would be in SF we would be visiting once every month.
