Best Contemporary European Restaurants in Los Angeles / Orange County

We chose Vespertine for our anniversary dinner while visiting Los Angeles from Chicago, and it made the evening feel truly special. The food was outstanding, beautifully executed and genuinely delicious. The service was exactly what you hope for at a Michelin-starred restaurant, without ever feeling stiff or overly formal. The building itself is stunning too. Its architecture makes the entire experience feel unlike any other restaurant. We have been fortunate to dine at many wonderful places over the years, and Vespertine easily ranks among the top 10 most memorable dining experiences we have had. We are already looking forward to coming back the next time we are in LA. Highly recommend.

The food was delicious. The Open bar was awesome despite not being big drinkers. We enjoyed ourselves so much !! It Only makes sense to make Moreton Fig a tradition!!

Very nice little cafe with solid offerings. The honey cake dessert was the luncheon highlight.
