Aioli Review

Le Méridien's signature restaurant offers French and Mediterranean gourmet specialties in an exquisite French setting. Wrought-iron chandeliers, hand-painted Talavera vases, original artwork, and candlelit tables define the elegant dining room. To start, the foie gras medallions and caramelized figs with a cherry brandy sauce is the clear winner, although the Caesar salad tossed with jumbo shrimp is a worthy competitor. Favorite mains include the red snapper with a Spanish sausage risotto, and tender rack of lamb with couscous. The in-house pastry chef (whose dessert preparation you can watch in action) creates decadent sweets -- I recommend the rich "Fifth Element" with chocolate and a berry sauce. Live music accompanies the highly attentive service.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
