Best Restaurants for Foodies in Century City

Without doubt, one of LA’s, if not California’s best places to dine. The menu is consistently inventive and delicious, and the staff always makes you feel like you are “coming home,”. Brunch was so marvelous yesterday that we are going back for an encore today!

The plants throughout and staffs uniforms give the entire place a warm earthy vibe. We dined for valentines, and each plate was thoughtfully put together. From the amuse to dessert, each plate was perfect in portion and mouthfeel. My favorite was the beet agnolotti, which surprised and delighted me with a dehydrated beet crunch. My partner’s favorite dish was the main course steak, which featured a savory and craveable truffle sauce. Our special mention goes to the beefsteak tomato milk bread. The buttery crunch of the edge pieces left me wanting another to take home. Our server was perfectly attentive and always timely with our drinks. It was a truly wonderful experience and I will be recommending to friends.

Let me start off my saying I’m very picky but this place was amazing!! Best valentines dinner prefixed menu I’ve ever experienced. Everything was delicious and portions were perfect. From valet to the host to the waitress, everyone was so nice and pleasant. Will be back for Mother’s Day !!! 💐

Amazing violinist, an exceptional evening, seafood tower is a must

A Journey Through the Cosmos at Vespertine There are meals, and then there are experiences—transcendent, immersive, and otherworldly. Vespertine is not just a restaurant; it is an odyssey, a symphony of senses, a dialogue between space, sound, and taste. Returning after six years, I found myself stepping into a realm where time dissolves and the familiar constructs of dining are reimagined. The architecture, stark yet poetic, sets the stage for an experience that unfolds like a dream—each course a revelation, each sip of wine a new movement in an unfolding sonata. The cuisine at Vespertine is alchemy—flavors that collide and intertwine, textures that surprise, an interplay of hot and cold, soft and crisp, delicate yet profound. Each dish is composed with the precision of an artist and the curiosity of an explorer, designed not only to be eaten but to be felt, contemplated, and remembered. The service is a quiet choreography, an effortless ballet of knowledge and intuition. The servers—guardians of this ethereal space—hold within them a depth of understanding, guiding guests through the journey with a reverence that matches the art they present. From room to room, the experience evolves, shifting in tone, in light, in sensation. Each space within Vespertine whispers a different story, pulling the diner deeper into its gravity, blurring the line between reality and reverie. Six years have passed, yet Vespertine remains a beacon of avant-garde gastronomy, an experience not merely consumed but lived. It is not just a dinner; it is a meditation, a crescendo, an awakening. To dine here is to surrender—to the unknown, to the surreal, to the extraordinary.
