A member of superstar-chef Joachim Splichal's L.A. restaurant empire, Café Pinot is less formal and lighter on the palate -- and the pocketbook -- than his Patina restaurant at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. The restaurant's location, in the front garden of the L.A. Public Library, makes it a natural for Downtown business folk; at night there's a free shuttle to the Music Center. Be sure to request a table on the shaded patio. Splichal has installed a giant rotisserie in the kitchen, and this is where the best meals come from. The moist, tender mustard-crusted roast chicken is your best bet. Tip: There's an unofficial kids' menu with items like chicken fingers and burgers and fries, depending on availability, but the restaurant is well adept at catering to young palates.

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.
