Chef Melissa Perello gained acclaim – and a Michelin star – for her work at her two San Francisco restaurants, Frances and Octavia. She had an opportunity to open a restaurant in Los Angeles but was initially "ambivalent" and uncertain about splitting time between the two cities. "The more time I spent in Los Angeles, I realized how dynamic it's become and ... how much the food scene here has blown up," she said. Her highly praised restaurant , named for her father's mother, opened last fall at the Row DTLA in the downtown Arts District area.
