Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Westwood

RoofTop by JG elevated our Thanksgiving experience to new heights—literally and figuratively. Their specially curated Thanksgiving course was a feast for both the eyes and the palate, set against the stunning panoramic views of Beverly Hills. The multi-course menu was thoughtfully crafted, blending traditional Thanksgiving flavors with a sophisticated, modern twist. The roasted turkey was perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful, accompanied by rich and creamy mashed potatoes, a delightful cranberry relish, and a velvety gravy that tied it all together beautifully. The pumpkin soup starter was a warm, comforting embrace, setting the tone for the meal. For dessert, the pecan tart was a standout, with its buttery crust and caramelized filling—a perfect ending to the feast. The staff ensured that the evening felt special, delivering impeccable service with warmth and attentiveness. Each course was perfectly timed, and the team was happy to accommodate dietary preferences without missing a beat. The ambiance on Thanksgiving night was magical, with the soft glow of city lights in the background and a lively yet intimate atmosphere. The combination of exceptional food, stunning views, and attentive service made this holiday dinner unforgettable.

What a beautiful spot! The ambiance was incredible. The service was spot on. And the food was even better. Our table had a variety of salads, fish entree and steak and everyone was so happy. We celebrated a birthday and they made it extra special. Can’t wait to go back.

This was founded by the original owners of Mastro’s and, before tonight, most of my wine buddies had been here and told me how much they loved it. “Best Steakhouse in LA” they told me! I was somewhat skeptical. Tonight, I experienced it for myself and it was truly wonderful! We had a very attentive and thoughtful server, Jess, whom I will absolutely request on my next visit there. She knows the menu inside and out, is not timid about making suggestions, and was not at all flustered by our “Sally-like” requests (from the movie with “everything on the side”!). We had one minor issue (the kitchen’s not Jess’) and after Jess fixed it for us to our complete satisfaction, the Manager came over to make sure. He was incredibly friendly; took ownership; comped dessert; and, frankly, reinforced the incredibly positive vibes I had gotten interacting with our servers and the hostesses on our arrival. All-in-all this is a fantastic restaurant with top-quality food, presented beautifully, and served lovingly. 5-Stars all the way!

Had a great brunch prior to attending a play at the Geffen nearby. Great service by our waiter Danny.
