- EEuniceLos Angeles •25 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoEverything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We started with the octopus and the caviar. While the octopus was decent, it was slightly overcooked and just okay. In our opinion, the Little Door Caviar was the standout starter—its flavor was far superior. For mains, the Branzino was perfection—crispy and flaky on the outside, tender and soft on the inside. The ribeye was equally fantastic, cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. We finished the meal with the crème brûlée, which was the perfect dessert—smooth, creamy, and with a perfectly caramelized top. The service was impeccable, making the evening truly special. We celebrated my friend’s birthday, and it was a memorable experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!More infoThe Little DoorPrice: Expensive• Contemporary French• West Hollywood•4.6

- LLenaLos Angeles •3 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 28, 2024We had a wonderful time celebrating Thanksgiving at the Langham. It's pricey but the quality of the food was very good. Sometimes you don't know how the food will taste at buffets but the food was fresh and tasty. The service was excellent. Loved the jazz trio, they were very talented. Great desserts. I would recommend it if it's in your budget.More infoHolidays at The Langham Hotel PasadenaPrice: Very Expensive• American• Pasadena•3.8
