Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Bel-Air

Magnificent service. Some of the best. The Yule log—sublime! The pigs in a blanket—imagine what that might be like with a master pastry chef! Shrimp cocktail—how often is it merely passable? Here it is of a uniformly exquisite tenderness. I want to say again, the SERVICE. This place is an industry standard but is generally underrated. Visit it again.

Each time I step into Catch LA, I feel like royalty. The ambiance is sexy, but it is the service that truly steals the show each time! Every member of the staff exudes professionalism and genuine warmth. They anticipate our needs before we even realize them, making every experience at my favorite LA restaurant impeccable - so much so that we've made coming to Xmas Eve dinner at Catch LA an annual tradition with my chosen family! I have no notes on the effortless quality of food, beverages, and, most importantly, THE SERVICE and THAT is why Catch LA is a step above the rest! Come for a cocktail at the bar, enjoy stunning rooftop views of the city while having delectable food and beverages, and experience dining at its finest! Thanks Catch LA - until next time. - Rodney and Friends.

Mastro’s offers an upscale dining experience that’s perfect for steak lovers. The ambiance is elegant and inviting, with attentive, knowledgeable staff. The dry-aged ribeye was cooked to perfection, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a beautifully caramelized crust. Side dishes like the garlic truffle cauliflower and scalloped potatoes are a must. Five stars!

Perfect ambiance and delicious food. The devil is in the details; the ossobucco alla Milanese was a standout (paired well with Chianti), as was the ravioli di Spinaci e Ricotta. We also enjoyed the desserts—tiramisu especially, as it was not too sweet and paired well with espresso. A major plus is that it felt like we were the only diners, despite being fully booked for Christmas Eve; a crowd had gathered at the host stand by the time we left, so I strongly recommend early supper 4-5pm for anyone with young children! It was intimate and private, and my toddler’s needs were always addressed patiently and with genuine warmth, as were my mother’s dietary requirements (gluten, dairy and nightshade allergies). Highly recommend for family meals especially.

We had the Pecan Salmon, Tuna bowl, guacamole and black truffle fries….everything was excellent in taste, presentation and timely delivery. Drinks were great as well. Great evening overlooking the area and pleasant weather. Highly recommend. We’ll be back for sure.
