From the OpenTable editors: Housed in an architecturally stunning structure in Culver City, Vespertine is more than a restaurant—it’s an all-out sensory experience. The choreographed 16-course meal, which takes diners through different levels of the building, weaves in music, sculpture, and scent. Chef Jordan Kahn’s highly conceptual two-MICHELIN-Starred menu pays tribute to the four regions of California through a variety of wild-foraged and regenerative ingredients.

    I thought the experience here was one of a kind even compared with other fine dining experiences. It's a once of a lifetime experience, but you'll certainly have to pay for it.

    This was, without a doubt, one of the top 5 dining experiences of my life; I told the waiter it was the USA's answer to Noma. Unbelievably creative, visually stunning, absolutely delicious food with exquisite service; it should be on everyone's bucket list.

    Another impeccable experience at Vespertine. Second time visiting since the reopening in April. This visit was intended on experiencing a similar caliber experience as before, but not sure if the regained two Michelin stars have made a difference but it was surely a completely different experience than last time. Food - The menu was very similar to last time, but the flavor profile and balance has improved significantly. The tedious details in the dishes also including presentation - well noticed and very well executed. Service and ambiance - very very casual chic. It is as inviting and humble as a two Michelin star can get. Black uniform could be intimidating, but open a conversation - they are very easy to have a casual conversation with. I understand why this could be a hit or miss for many - my personal assumption would be that this type of effort and orchestration is naturally more appreciated by the more experienced diners who consider these special occasions an immersive experience rather than a dinner night out. I would strongly recommend if anyone is looking for a very well organized immersive gastronomic experience. From herbs to proteins and techniques they use - if you find everywhere else quite boring, then it may be the best time for you to go dine at Vespertine.

    A beautiful 14 course tasting. Where architect, art and flavor collide. Grab the juice parings instead of the wine.

    Great visit to a very special restaurant. Incredibly upscale and complex offerings, but the service team…and you get a full team…were amazingly warm and welcoming.

    Spectacular…. Artfully crafted experience with extreme attention to detail and the dining journey. The wine pairing with the full tasting menu is a must. The sommelier is insanely talented and we loved the curated selection. When you’re trying to find every bottle you tasted for your home collection, you know someone’s doing something right.
