Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Atwater Village

The food was delicious, the restaurant is beautiful and the server was terrific. The restaurant was a bit cold, and as it filled up it got disproportionately noisy (lots of hard surfaces).

Had a great dining experience Fri., 11/22/24. Our server Matt was wonderfully attentive and had extensive knowledge of the menu and cocktail list. The food was great, thoughtful preparation and complex flavor profiles. The live music and holiday decor elevated our experience. Looking forward to our next visit.

This was a GREAT dining experience. We frequently visit high-end restaurants in LA and this was easily one of our favorites. Dinner and a show, with a level of entertainment and a quality of food we were not expecting; a welcome surprise. The decor is vibrant and beautiful and there are varied seating options, no matter what ambiance you're looking for. For those who like to be close to the action, there's seating near the open kitchen, but for those who want a more intimate dining experience, there's plenty of table space elsewhere to accommodate. Live music and dancing during dinner were exciting and fun, adding to the experience, but I would not say this is a "quiet" dining experience. We LOVED it. The food was EXCELLENT. Top tier, especially for high-class dining. Often in LA County, you get good food or a good vibe but Katsin has both. The portion sizes are large and very delicious. The beef cheeks are rich, buttery, and savory, while the Mediterranean-style lamb chops were some of the best I've had in SoCal. Dishes are well-cooked and seasoned to perfection. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and attentive and the service was 10/10.

Overrall, great experience, flower package was a plus for anniversary celebration

The mezza without kabobs was quite filling and definitely delicious. A couple people in our party ordered entrees as well and the lamb kabob was cooked perfectly. Carousel is always a special treat!
