L.A.'s Top New Eateries

CitySearch has compiled its list of the Top 10 New Restaurants of 2004. Sad to say, Maria and I have only been to one on the list (we blame the new house and the new baby. What's your excuse?) Here's their list and commentary:

Gino Angelini's Orlando Hotel-adjacent eatery specializes in wood-fired meat and romance-inspired dining.

2. Norman's (8570 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA )
