- MmarieSeattle / Eastern Washington •9 reviews4.0Dined 5 days agoThe Apple/fennel salad was excellent; I enjoyed the pomegranate mocktail as well. The servers were very helpful and made sure that we lacked for nothing. I prefer outside seating; one does have to reckon with traffic noise from San Vicente; I could hear my companion and vice verse..More infoAOC - BrentwoodPrice: Expensive• Californian• Brentwood•4.5
- SStevenVIPLos Angeles •14 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe Vespertine experience is off the charts amazing. This was our second visit (our first was pre-pandemic). Some things have changed about the experience, but what you truly are there for, the food, hasn't and it is absolute art. I've been a Jordan Khan fan for a long time, and every time I'm at one of his restaurants, I'm always awed by his creativity. The menu items always work together to tell a story, but the flavor profiles are so different with each course. The service is first rate knowledgable and friendly. Both times we've visited we've had a great time with the service staff. They know the menu deeply, and love to talk about it, or any other fun topic that comes up. The restaurant isn't pretentious at all. It's a bit like being at home, especially if you sit upstairs with a larger party, sitting on your patio or deck and being served the meal of a lifetime. If you do sit upstairs, definitely bring a jacket b/c it's open air. There's heaters and blankets, but it still can be chilly. We went two days ago and all of us are still thinking about he experience, and not the cost. Which is pretty remarkable considering how costly this restaurant is, but both times I've gone to Vespertine, I've left thinking, 'That was totally worth it!'More infoVespertinePrice: Very Expensive• Californian• Culver City•4.8
