Restaurants near Neutra VDL Studio and Residences

Had a wonderful time at Saffy’s last night — I have high expectations for this restaurant “group” and y’all deliver great food and service every time. This was also the first time in a long while that I’ve received a bill and thought “this is less than what I was expecting,” a rare joy in these economic times. Happy holidays and thank you!

The food was absolutely delicious, and our server provided exceptional service throughout the evening. We were celebrating my birthday, and the ambiance added a special touch to the occasion. However, the night ended on a disappointing note due to an unprofessional encounter with one of the security staff in the upstairs bar area. When we attempted to take a group picture in an open section that was accessible to everyone and not reserved, the security guard rudely demanded that we move, despite our explanation that we were just taking a quick photo. To our frustration, minutes later, we saw another group use the same area without issue. This inconsistency left us feeling singled out and deeply disappointed, especially after spending over $1,500 on dinner alone. While the evening was otherwise enjoyable, this negative experience overshadowed what should have been a memorable celebration. I hope this feedback is taken seriously to ensure better treatment of all guests in the future.

The Bacari restaurants are my LA go to.  Tonight I brought family who had been to other locations but never to Silverlake. What a magical place it is, especially during the holidays. It was festive, the food was great, the server was fun and patient. Those folks work so hard in a location like this that is busy and multi leveled, serving a lot of different plates and knowing a large and varied menu. We were impressed with all of them. Loved our meal and our dining experience.

Our dining experience was top notch. The open fire cooking infused our dishes and every one of them was delicious. The highlight was the ribeye, cooked perfectly and was accompanied with bone marrow and sea salt to sprinkle over the meat. They also had a great playlist for a great vibe.

Loreto was amazing. Came here for my partner's birthday and we'll definitely return with friends soon. We ordered a toro sashimi, a ceviche, croquetas and a pasta and it was all above and beyond delicious, as were the cocktails. Service was great and so was the ambiance. Good prices for the quality of experience, too.
