Per the LAT:

The menu's signature item is the RH burger, a hunk of black Angus beef topped with morels and foie gras. What does a $35 burger at the RH offer you that a $14 burger at any of L.A.'s other top eateries doesn't? The knowledge that you're the kind of person who can afford to spend $35 on a burger.

Good to know. The review of the place also noted that RH boasts one of the "most open kitchens anywhere in Los Angeles," and the decor, which includes white marble countertops, gigantic windows, and floor-to-ceiling glass cases with fresh produce on display, is definitely one of the highlights of the experience. As for the menu:

The menu emphasizes market-to-table, local produce. So much so that it comes with a confusing addendum called the Market Menu, which allows diners to choose any combination of the restaurant's nine proteins, 14 vegetables and 11 sauces and chutneys to create a made-to-order meal.

[...]If the concept of choosing your own meal seems too tedious, RH also offers dishes such as seared scallops, chicken breast stuffed with house-made foie gras and a double-thick pork chop topped with pancetta cubes.

The overall review seemed kinda "meh," but the Times did give RH major style points.

If those style points are worth $16 cocktails, $8-$22 apps and $15-$35 entrees, check out the full article here.
