Best Live Music Restaurants in Mid-Wilshire

visited on a friday night at 6:45pm with a reservation for 4. our party ended up only being two people, and when i mentioned this to the hostess she said it would not be a problem. as i waited for my partner to arrive, i was invited into the bar area to wait. the bar was fully seated, so i sat at one of the coffee tables just adjacent to the bar area. ambiance was classy, warm and elegant. the four-piece jazz band was providing excellent music. i was offered water while i waited, then was asked if i wanted to see the menu and order a drink. i placed my drink order, and was seated before it arrived. (it was re-routed to our table with no issues) my friend & i ordered the house rolls (a must-order!), duck confit (excellent!), the short ribs (tasty!), the side of brussels sprouts (delicious!) and the macaroni & cheese (yummy!). would absolutely recommend any of these items. our server was attentive & helpful, especially with our questions about the food. (she was also super helpful with explaining some of the dessert options; which we ultimately opted not to have.) upon receiving the check, there was an error that was immediately corrected with no issues. i would highly recommend somerville for a special night out at a black-owned restaurant in the neighborhood! it was a bit pricey, but well worth the cost!

I absolutely love this place. If you’ve been, you know. If you haven’t, imagine a glamorous speakeasy with no windows and soft lighting. The food is great. The chicken parm is a must. And the cocktails are amazing.

I was freezing the entire time. Hard to enjoy the ambiance

We celebrated my mom’s birthday and the staff was great. The ambiance was amazing. Perfect dinner.

Took my daughter for her 18th birthday with 4 of her friends & her father. Let me tell you what, it was literally the most beautiful restaurant we have visited in LA. We will be back 🤍
