The restaurant at the Getty is a beautiful space and obviously in a marvelous location. We truly enjoyed our Easter lunch there. If I had one suggestion I would say that they need to have more healthy choices on the menu. I will definitely be back though. It’s hard to find more beautiful surroundings!

Service was fair at best. We had to ask for everything. Food came out quickly. The warm popovers were cold, the short rib hash was overcooked, and not tender. The chocolate dessert was a deconstructed mess. Food was expensive for the quantity. I loved the restaurant a couple of years ago. I will not go back.

The cheese plate was so much different than 5 years ago. And the fish wasn’t boneless. It was really bad experience compared to 5 years ago.

One of few restaurants where a dull grey day does not feel dull inside. The filtered light through windows is always warm and inviting. Service also warm and inviting. Best of all is the food. Soups excellent with a hint of garnish to make them elegant. My husband had the Cobb and I had the pork bao buns. Everything fresh, wines very good and my husband’s martini as he likes it. Our favorite museum restaurant.
