The music coming from the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall isn't always played by the orchestra. In fact, we've been moved by the magical symphonies composed inside the neighboring Patina kitchen. Maestro Joachim Splichal collaborates with seasoned corporate chef David Féau, who knows the Patina Group inside and out. Find Féau turning out modern but measured courses that are as bright and daring as the restaurant design itself.
