Restaurants near The Umbrella

Vespertine delivered one of the most extraordinary dining experiences we’ve ever had in the United States, rivaling the caliber of Michelin three-star restaurants abroad, such as Boragó in Santiago. The food was a stunning combination of originality, flavor, and artistry, each dish a masterpiece that delighted the palate and the eye. Service was impeccable, with the timing of each course orchestrated to perfection. The building itself is a marvel, adding a unique and modern dimension to the experience. While the evening was nearly flawless, there were a few minor areas for improvement. The final dessert felt overly elaborate and heavy, making it challenging to fully enjoy at the end of such a substantial meal. The dessert room, located near the entrance, was uncomfortably chilly on a cool evening, requiring us to retrieve our coats. Lastly, the $20 valet charge came as an unwelcome surprise, especially considering the restaurant’s high price point and the fact that the parking lot is private and on-site. A clearer sign or complimentary parking would have better matched the overall premium experience. These small critiques aside, Vespertine was a truly unforgettable dining journey—one we would highly recommend to anyone seeking a world-class culinary adventure in Los Angeles.

I frequented Zaytinya restaurants in DC and NYC over the last ten years, and was delighted when it opened on December 17 in Culver City. We just had our first dinner there, which was exquisite and almost brought tears to my eyes. I highly recommend it to one and all. The blend of Spanish, Greek, Lebanese, and Turkish recipes and flavors is out of this world. Many thanks to Jose Andres and his fabulous team and wonderful work.

I left my black leather gloves on a two-two at Terra's patio on 12/25 about 10:00 P.M. I've called and called. I've emailed. I even made faux reservations with the hope that the hostess will read and do something. What's wrong with people in hospitality today? Does the fish stink from the head down in this case?

You can never go wrong with a Steak 48 dinner , as a repeat customer my expectations are always high because just when you think the last time was top tier they out do themselves , this was my sister birthday dinner and it was nothing less of amazing , the Server was very professional and on point , but even when he got busy with other guests the rest of the team came through , they was always someone in the corner ready to make out dinning experience amazing , the food amazing is an understatement most of the party had steak ( Petit filet , ny strip ) while others had Salmon , everything was well cooked to personal preference , the side which we all shared where just enough for 6guests , might I add we where personally served which made the experience even more personal , overall the experience was a 10/10 .👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is a great neighborhood hidden gem - great service, wonderful ambiance, really nice for getting together with friends.
