A "go to" place to dine if you're visiting the Getty or just looking for an elegant lunch or early dinner (depending on the season). Beautiful setting with amazing views of the ocean and mountains, impeccable service and well prepared food. Not as pricy as one might expect for such a semi formal setting. Can't recommend it enough! And, you have the museum at the front door!

STK Los Angeles is the spot if you’re looking for a vibe that screams luxury and fun. Think juicy steaks, epic cocktails, and a live DJ to keep the energy up all night. Perfect for content, btw—this place is a whole aesthetic. Here’s the rundown from my night: •The Food: I went with the Ribeye (highly recommend), and the Cheesecake was next-level. It’s definitely a splurge, but worth every bite. •The Vibes: Chic, trendy, and buzzing with energy. It’s not just a dinner; it’s an experience. Great lighting for photos, too! •Service: Shoutout to Danny (my server), who made everything seamless and fun. Whether you’re celebrating or just want to treat yourself, STK delivers. Pro tip: make a reservation early because this place gets packed. Check them out on OpenTable to book your table!

This was FANTASTIC! We went for the special Hanukkah prix fixe dinner featuring Olio Nuovo olive oil. So delicious. Standouts were latkes and brisket with brussels sprouts. Out of this world unusual pistachio dessert. Very elevated meal. Nice surprise twist on what I thought would be more of a traditional dinner. Would return for a meal like this 10 times out of 10. I hope they continue with other Sunday night dinners.
