Restaurants near University of California Los Angeles

I often find the food at nice restaurants in LA to be lackluster and not worth the money, prioritizing looks and ambiance over food and value. However, I found Terra to be well worth the meal and filling as well. We ordered the roasted meats for the table and it came with a number of grilled meats that had a nice charred taste owing to the wood-fire, and the seafood appetizer was light and refreshing. For our anniversary, the waiter brought us a cream puff, which was delicious as well. Overall, a great experience and would come back again!

Dinner for 3 x persons Food and service was on fleek - we had the octopus salad to start - super fresh - and tasty - octopus can be hit and miss but this one was definitely a hit, also big enough to share; spaghetti vongole - better than the one I had in Italy this summer - in fact best one I have had ever - branzino - this whole fish was to die for - light but flavorful - roasted mushroom pizza (we added Italian sausage) - also very tasty - would probably ask for it be cooked well done as the pizza dough was a little doughy but that’s just my preference - broccolini - probably my least favorite dish - for desert we had the chocolate torte - rich and decadent and 2 x affogato (espresso, vanilla ice cream and caramel)…never had it with the caramel - was a nice touch - wanted to eat another one of these - sooo good - add 2 cocktails. Surprisingly our bill was approx $230 ..I was expecting it to be more - great value for money It is a little loud and the crowd is young - dress up a little for this place - smart casual at the very least and enjoy! Bon Apetit

Excellent as always. Servers are always so kind and accommodating. Thank you!

It ain’t cheap Mexican street food but you get what you pay for at Javier’s!!! And that’s really high quality ingredients, well prepared and executed by the back of the house with outstanding service and ambience. So if you’re businesss entertaining or on a hot date, you won’t get any complaints dining here!! I came for lunch so could not enjoy their bar delights but I’m sure their Margs definitely highlight the overall experience!!

Server and dining experience were amazing. Prosciutto & burrata, charred octopus are a must. Soup season is basically here, so get the French onion. Save room for dessert, breading pudding and butterscotch pudding together are delicious.
