This is an annual tradition for us. The Getty Resturant offers consistent high end artistic foods, best view of Santa Monica mountains, and incredible service. This is now a tradition with other friends as well. Looking forward to the next visit.

Took an early lunch, 11:45 -- no noon reservations available, though the room was mostly empty during my meal and not a crowd when I left at 12:30. Sea bass was cooked right, nothing fancy because the bed of Dungeness Crab Brandade made the dish marvelous. Service was excellent.

It was spoilt by the bill being brought - before I had finished the meal - and an enormous bill obviously for another table I almost had a heart attack when I saw the total amount. And I have a pacemaker.

Service was on the slow side - excessive wait between appetizer and entrée - but otherwise a very nice experience.
