Providence walks a fine, but assured, line between molecular gastronomy techniques and simple, tasteful preparations. Dishes range from a Pierre Gagnaire-ish trout belly with many textures to simply grilled prawns with flowers.

Months after saving up for the excursion, I finally had the chance to dine at the L.A. gem that is Providence.

We have a couple hours after getting off the plane from Seattle to clean ourselves up and get ready for H's birthday dinner at Providence, which I've read loads about but hadn't yet tried.
