Best Modern European Restaurants in Century City

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.

Zori‘s new menu and exquisite drinks are tantalizing to the pallet.  They have drinks like crème brûlée that actually takes like one,  perfect espresso martinis obviously made with espresso and happy hour wines, even on the weekends.  With their new menu of Wagyu dumplings, short rib, and Hamachi dumplings Zori has everything you would need! YUM

5 stars. Market is a great new spot in Venice. We went last night and everything we ordered was a 10 out of 10, in both taste and presentation. We started with the house focaccia, then the beets. The beets looked seasonal and were the best thing we ate all night. The lumache came next, and the spicy vodka sauce was fantastic. I’d go back for that alone. The hanger steak was cooked well and beautifully plated. We finished with the cheesecake, which was phenomenal. The room is lovely and the service matched it. My only knock is the inside seating. The tables are very close together, so you end up in everyone else’s conversation. The patio looked great, especially on a warm night, so I’d ask to sit outside. Great food, great vibe. We’ll be back.

So delicious and beautiful and kind people. I will be coming back for every single dish on the menu! The borscht was incredible and breakfast is so unique and delicate!
