Restaurants near Salt Lake Park

This place is absolutely my favorite restaurant in LA! Every dish on the menu is delicious. You just can’t go wrong with anything!! My favorites are hummus with pita, king oyster mushroom kebab, grilled prawns, and whole lamb rack. The pita bread is freshly baked and it’s so soft that I want to scream when I dip it in the hummus! The mushroom kebab has a good balance between the smoky flavor and fresh lemon zest on top. The avocado sauce on the bottom also has a refreshing touch to it. And the whole lamb rack - you need to order this. Period. Unfortunately, they don’t have the braised beef cheek with coconut rice anymore… But they now have pomegranate sauced ox tail, which I need to try next time I go. Service is good. My server always checks to make sure everything is good. Every dish is introduced and explained when they are presented to the table. The atmosphere is great as well. The patio seating has heaters on so you don’t get cold at night. I absolutely enjoy every single bit of my dinner at this place every time! Not to mention I really like their hand soap… I need to get those for my own place.

Probably my favorite restaurant when I come to LA. The staff are as great as the food. The room is beautiful and I've never had a bad meal there.

Bestia is a sleek restaurant with an industrial chic vibe. The ambiance of this place is energetic with high end quality food. It is one of my favorite places to go have dinner and the drinks are on point! The food is Italian inspired with innovative flavors making your palate salivate for more! Some of my favorite dishes that I would recommend from the menu are the bone marrow, homemade ricotta, cavatelli, branzino, and the ribeye. Whatever you choose from the menu you won’t be disappointed! I would definitely recommend Bestia over and over again but make sure to get reservations in advance!

Wonderful meal. Decibel Martini and Army Navy cocktail were both delicious. Black sesame Parker house rolls with butter and house cured ikura were so good! Abalone and shrimp pot pie was very good, and Koji-roasted chicken was juicy and wonderful. Very attentive service.

great hosts; very cordial - great valet, great server
