- SStevenVIPNew York City •10 reviews5.0Dined todayVespertine delivered one of the most extraordinary dining experiences we’ve ever had in the United States, rivaling the caliber of Michelin three-star restaurants abroad, such as Boragó in Santiago. The food was a stunning combination of originality, flavor, and artistry, each dish a masterpiece that delighted the palate and the eye. Service was impeccable, with the timing of each course orchestrated to perfection. The building itself is a marvel, adding a unique and modern dimension to the experience. While the evening was nearly flawless, there were a few minor areas for improvement. The final dessert felt overly elaborate and heavy, making it challenging to fully enjoy at the end of such a substantial meal. The dessert room, located near the entrance, was uncomfortably chilly on a cool evening, requiring us to retrieve our coats. Lastly, the $20 valet charge came as an unwelcome surprise, especially considering the restaurant’s high price point and the fact that the parking lot is private and on-site. A clearer sign or complimentary parking would have better matched the overall premium experience. These small critiques aside, Vespertine was a truly unforgettable dining journey—one we would highly recommend to anyone seeking a world-class culinary adventure in Los Angeles.More infoVespertinePrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Culver City•4.8

Hard price to swallow before being awarded stars, but it was definitely worth it. I expect a 2 star debut. Thanks team!More infoSELINEPrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Santa Monica•5
- RRussellVIPLos Angeles •767 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a nice Christmas Eve dinner here. The food was excellent as usual, however it was served family style and since there was only the two of us, it was too much food! We took about one-half of it home, but I think there should have been a choice of appetizers and entrees offered.More infoLunettaPrice: Moderate• Californian• Santa Monica•4.7
