I can tell you without hesitation that I really like Dominique’s Kitchen.  The food is consistently well prepared and Chef Dominque Theval is very hands-on in his kitchen.  To add the to overall experience, the staff is knowledgeable about their offerings and everyone is quite friendly.

Dominique’s is offering a 3 course prix-fixe menu for only $24.99 on Easter Sunday, March 31.  If you don’t have plans, you may want to experience Chef Dominique’s excellent food during this holiday.

If you think that I’m over-hyping Chef Dominique Theval, don’t take my word for it.  He was just named as part of the inaugural Best Chefs America  2013 and the restaurant was also reviewed by the highly selective GAYOT.com.

The Best Chefs America  nomination is awarded to chefs by chefs. The award committee interviews over 5,000 chefs to determine who they consider the most talented, most exciting and most influential chefs in the United States. There were only 11 chefs selected from the Beach Cities to be included in the book: four in Redondo Beach, six in Manhattan Beach and one in Hermosa Beach.

GAYOT.com has also reviewed the restaurant, calling it “solidly executed classic French bistro fare in a cozy setting.” The review went on to praise the lamb sausage with quinoa and the “fork tender” braised short ribs. The full review can be found here.
