Sur in W. Hollywood with creative chef Nicolas Medina serves delicious dishes- March 2024
What a wonderful dining experience at Sur in W. Hollywood. We had the following dishes that were exquisite. Their bread to start was off the charts. The Hamachi sashimi with avocado and citrus was the first course followed by the sauteed Crab Cake, Octopus, Branzino and the Squid Ink seafood pasta served in courses. Just fabulous.
