Restaurants near J Paul Getty Museum

It’s winter, and we had a table by the window. Watched sunset and the beautiful colors in the sky and in the waves. And the sound of the waves added another dimension.  This kind of atmosphere and scenery is rare, and that’s why we would come back. Whereas the food? It’s OK. To us it seemed overpriced for the quality of cooking. For example I had a filet mignon, which was more medium done than medium-rare, not much flavor in the sauce, the mashed potato rather bland. The quality of the meat seemed excellent, very tender, but also that’s spinach was boring and a bit of overcooked. So I think in summary, if you want to come for an atmospheric romantic night and enjoy the scenery, this is the perfect place . The service was wonderful.

Quiet neighborhood gem. Tasty menu, large portions and excellent service. Our waiter, Rudy, was terrific! He let us sit and talk and kept the coffee coming long after we finished eating.

It was my first time at this restaurant. We ordered whipped eggplant with that famous “balloon”bread that is sooooo delicious! We also got Broccolini, Wild Mushrooms, Scallops and squid-ink Pasta. everything was delicious but Broccolini and wild mushrooms really stood out for me and my boyfriend. The Tiramisu was a bit heavy, I am used to a smoother texture but the delicious taste was there - not too sweet and right amount of espresso.

Fantastic service. Food was top notch. Highly recommend this location. The one downtown is a bit too loud for my taste. The ambiance here is amazing. The music was a perfect volume level where you can hear everyone at the table and the music at the same time.

I have been waiting years to experience the Getty Villa Tea and it exceeded my expectations! Everything was lovely.
