Best Restaurants for Groups in Universal City

Brunch at Carmel is amazing! We’ve always enjoyed dinner there and brunch may even supersede that. Must tries: Jerusalem Bagel with the eggplant/feta brûlée (i don’t like eggplant and this was delicious); the Tel Aviv omelet; and their Shakshuka. Also the host and our server were so welcoming, friendly, pleasant and had wonderful energy.

Dining at Barton G. is an experience for multiple senses! The food and drink presentations are stunning and the service super attentive! Don’t forget to end your perfect night with a dessert, it was my personal highlight! ✨

excellent service and all good vibes! Food and drinks were delicious and music and ambience were amazing.

My brother and I loved our experience at Bicari! It was recommended to us by a friend who lives locally and it did not disappoint. We were greeted by the hostess before we walked through the 3/4s tunnel that gave off Harry Potter vibes. When you walk through the tunnel it opens up into a beautiful outdoor courtyard with trees shading the tables. As the night went on, the glow emitted from the lights was magical. We enjoyed our server Jordan for getting us off to a great start and everyone who checked in on us throughout the evening was kind and professional. We loved the sea bass, scallops, pear and Brie pizza, Brussels… basically everything is amazing and you can’t go wrong! We will definitely be back!

A Night toDining at Craig’s was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable without ever feeling intrusive. It’s clear that the staff takes pride in creating a seamless experience, anticipating every need with grace and precision. The food? Absolutely delicious. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, with flavors that were both comforting and elevated. Every bite felt like a celebration of quality ingredients and culinary craftsmanship. What truly set the evening apart was the energy of the restaurant. The ambiance struck a perfect balance—intimate yet lively, making it easy to settle in and savor the moment while also feeling part of something vibrant and exciting. Whether it was the soft glow of the lighting or the gentle hum of conversation, the space had a magnetic charm that made the night unforgettable. Craig’s isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to experience. I’ll definitely be back.
