“Cicada has been featured in many feature films, including ‘The Artist,’ ‘Indecent Proposal,’ ‘Wall Street,’ ‘Pretty Woman,’ and ‘Bruce Almighty.’ You might have also seen the location on many television shows such as ‘Mad Men,’ ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ ‘90210,’ and ‘Heroes.’ If you’re a music fan, maybe you have seen the place in music videos for many popular artists such as Eve & Gwen Stefani, Maroon Five, The Jonas Brothers and more.”
Guest can chose between two options.

Option 2: Dinner with a movie and happy hour combination. Guests enjoy a formal dinning experience as part of Dine LA Week in one of L.A.’s historic treasures. Dinner option is an additional $45 per person.
Cicada is a masterful combination of Art Deco style and contemporary cuisine. The food is the star and the restaurant is the cinema. From the 30-foot gold leaf ceiling to the plush custom-designed bar and lounge, Cicada has combined 1920s Art Deco with contemporary design elements to create an extraordinary atmosphere. The European style is further complemented by a sophisticated Northern Italian and California fusion menu.
