Restaurants near Walt Disney Concert Hall Downtown

Our experience was good. The disappointment came when the menus were presented to us totally different than the menus that were online. We had selected this restaurant because of the menus and when we get there, we discovered that the restaurant is going through a transition of chefs so the menu was changing other than that Service was a little off. I think it took too long to bring the initial drink order about 10 minutes and the restaurant really wasn’t that crowded at the time when the food did arrive it was absolutely delicious. We tried some new things the roasted avocado, the shrimp/prawns. The honey butternut squash was amazing And overall, with an exception of that menu, which I think is a big thing experience was good.

They rotate new chefs and cuisine here every few months. We eat here a lot before the theater. Usually not disappointed

We went to Vespaio before an event at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. We planned an early dinner, knowing how busy the restaurant gets. We sat outside and had heat lamps to warm us. Because we were eating a bit early, we had exceptional attention. The food, as always, was fantastic. As we finished our meal, the restaurant became packed with diners. Lesson: For exceptional service, dine a little bit early or a little bit late, 6 to 8 pm is very crowded.

Splendid experience all around! Our server, Alex, was lovely. Our food was presented so beautifully. My friend and I had a lovely time dining & catching up before we went to see a show across the street. It was just such a divine experience that I am planning to take others back to San Laurel.  The only problem was that my mocktail was made with alcohol. I don’t drink because I’m sober so it was very concerning that such an error occurred. That’s never happened in all my years of ordering mocktails at other fine establishments. After two sips and having my friend try it, I was convinced that there was indeed tequila added to my lime-based drink so I asked the waiter about it and he quickly whisked it away and brought me a true mocktail that tasted of citrus and definitely had no alcohol in it. That was a weird experience. The evening ended on a great note with a surprise complementary flan dessert for my friend’s birthday that included a candle and song-a very nice touch. Of special note is that the chef is actually accommodating to guests’ dietary sensitivities such as the need for gluten and dairy free ingredients. Such a breath of fresh air since other fine dining spots don’t usually like to make such modifications to their menu items. It was very much appreciated by this diner. Thank you San Laurel!

It was fantastic!! Our server Vincent was amazing! It was our first time here, we went with what Vincent suggested and it did not disappoint. I only wish I found out about this place sooner. We will definitely be back- so much more on the menu to try. Parking was a breeze and the car was there as we walked out. We went to a show at the Ahmanson- and timing was perfect while also not feeling rushed. My friend and I shared a ribeye- perfect amount and the taste was great- so flavorful!
