After opening critically acclaimed Lucques in 1998, the duo of 3 time James Beard Award winning chef Suzanne Goin (Best Chefs in America - California 2006, Best Cookbook - Cooking from a Professional Point of View 2006, Outstanding Chef 2016, Who's Who of Food & Beverage in America 2017) and Caroline Styne (James Beard Foundation’s Outstanding Restaurateur of the Year 2018) embarked on A.O.C., the pioneering wine bar that first paired an indulgent list of wine by the glass with a menu of market-driven small plates.
In December 2024, A.O.C. was inducted into the prestigious Los Angeles Times Restaurant Hall of Fame.

AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT
CELEBRATING A BELOVED CLASSIC!
Twenty years ago, with the publication of Sunday Suppers At Lucques, the world was introduced to the market-driven cuisine of Suzanne Goin and to an LA tradition that began in a little carriage house on Melrose.
Join us as we recall the delicious warmth and comfort of those Sundays and come together to celebrate this enduring award-winning cookbook.
"When I opened Lucques in 1998, my partner, Caroline Styne, and I envisioned a place where food would be the catalyst for so much more. We wanted the restaurant to be part of the community—a meeting place where friends could gather, relax, escape, celebrate, and, of course, eat.”
