Food portions are small, but you come here to sit in the unique space and stare out the window. The best glass of wine I had all week was also the Chardonnay that I had here. The salad and bread were also great.

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!
