Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Westwood

We love going to Mastros Beverly HIlls in the Penthouse. For a high end restaurant, it only has 20 or 25 tables. Service is impeccable and the staff well trained. We were shocked to see a manager we knew from Manhattan Beach. He recognized us and personally oversaw our service. The food was awesome as usual. We had one small problem for am item we were charged without being informed by our waiter. The manager was great and offered us a credit when we came in next. We were celebrating my oldest daughter's 27th birthday with our family. The menu had her name across the top and they gave her an amazing piece of cheesecake for dessert on the house. We do not go ofter as it is our "special place" for birthdays and Christmas. There are many choices for high end restaurants in Beverly Hills but the staff, and now manager, know us and recognize our family. You cannot find a better place to celebrate the special occasions for your family and business associates as well. We are loyal customers and will be back many times.

Our server was awesome! She was helpful, didn’t rush us and made great recs.

Went with a group which half were fans of the show and half have never heard of it or the restaurant. Everyone enjoyed the cocktails and the food. We tried different cocktails and had appetizers, salads and main courses. We had a great time and enjoyed it all. The atmosphere was definitely unique and the staff was very friendly and excellent service. Peter and Guillermo were there the night we visited and both were so gracious with everyone we saw that wanted a photo with them. It is quite pricey tho so be ready for that. We walked around the restaurant to check out the other rooms and it was fun to see it all, and feel the different vibes from the pink room to the garden room in the back. Well done Lisa V

One of our go to places. Today was the first time for lunch and the first time indoors. Service and food have always been exceptional. Love being able to get just a few appetizers or a full meal with paella. Keep trying different things and haven’t been disappointed.

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We started with the octopus and the caviar. While the octopus was decent, it was slightly overcooked and just okay. In our opinion, the Little Door Caviar was the standout starter—its flavor was far superior. For mains, the Branzino was perfection—crispy and flaky on the outside, tender and soft on the inside. The ribeye was equally fantastic, cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. We finished the meal with the crème brûlée, which was the perfect dessert—smooth, creamy, and with a perfectly caramelized top. The service was impeccable, making the evening truly special. We celebrated my friend’s birthday, and it was a memorable experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!
