Dining

Item Description

This certificate is valid for dinner for 2 guests at Crustracean Restaurant in Beverly Hills!  This experience if valued at $250.

One of the area's only Vietnamese restaurants, Crustacean was heralded by Esquire magazine as one of the country's top 10 restaurants. It quickly became one of Los Angeles hottest restaurants and the spot for celebrity sightings. Since then, Crustacean has been featured in People, InStyle, Bon Appetit, Town & Country, Wall Street Journal and seen on CNN, Oprah, The View, among others.

The Crustacean story begins in Indochina, a land of beauty, elegance and glamour. This was the world in which Chef Helene An spent a noble childhood within the Vietnamese Royal Court. Helene's great-grandfather the Emperor's Royal Representative of Tonkin, Vietnam, and her father regularly entertained dignitaries from around the world.

Opulent dinners were prepared by the family's three chefs
Vietnamese, Chinese and French. As a young girl, Helene already had a passion for the culinary arts. Many hours were spent watching the chefs at work in the kitchen so that by a very early age, she'd learned how to create menus, manage a kitchen, and entertain in a style spectacular in its simplicity and elegance .

The Secret Kitchen is a fascinating element of Master Chef Helene An's culinary legacy and the An Family's success story. It refers to a completely concealed kitchen within the main kitchen, off limits to all employees except the An Family and chefs with over 10 years of employment with the family. The magic begins in the Secret Kitchen as Chef Helene prepares her famed secret recipes.

This certificate has no cash value, meaning that you will not receive any "change" for usage under $250.  It does not include tax, gratuity, or alcohol purchases.  The winner will need to pay for all applicable taxes, gratutuities, and alcohol purchaes upon redemption.
