A.O.C. BRENTWOOD

What a disappointment. The food was not worth the price. Sometimes it was the portion sized (the bacon wrapped dates were the size of small olives) sometimes it was the food itself just being “nothing special”. Very very underwhelme.

Nice, relaxed environment with some good dishes

The food here is INCREDIBLE! Their dishes are American family style so they recommend the table to get a few plates to share. We ordered 4 plates for 2 people and it was too much food but we really couldn’t decide when we’re ordering. They also validate parking which is nice to find in LA

TERRIFIC FOOD, SERVICE & AMBIENCE I’ve been two times to A.O.C. Brentwood, and each time both the food and the service were excellent, as well as the restaurant having great ambience. The dishes that stood out were the Spanish fried chicken, the cheese plate, the charcuterie board, the roasted almonds and the cauliflower. Oh, I almost forgot, the seared salmon was delicious as well. The first time I went with my spouse and son, and met two friends from school, and the second time was with two former work colleagues. It’s not cheap but the experience is well worth it. Vegetarian options: They have a great selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes which were tasty. Parking: You can park in the parking lot and they validate but it still costs $8 if you are there for 2 hours. Kid-friendliness: Our son who is 13 had a great time there but I would not recommend it for children under 10.

We enjoyed a nice birthday lunch on a mellow Sunday afternoon during the LA Marathon, it was pretty light crowd. We ordered one burger which was very good, perfectly medium cooked. The fries are ok, barely warm. We also ordered 2 of the Stout brisket mash with fried potatoes. This is a very fatty dish, more fat than meat. My friends had more meat than mine. The soft poached egg runs into the fatty sauce making it less appealing to eat. The potatoes, spinach, and onions were good. I would not recommend this dish, also has too much salt. Service was nice. I'm very put off by their default 6% extra service charge for employee health. The plandemic is long over, most restaurants don't add this tax, and for an expensive place to charge this seems very tacky. You can ask them not to charge it but that's more hassle, so I just deduct 6% off my tip. I don't expect to return. Dinner menu is better in my experience. The pistachio dessert was ok, a little sweet.

Stellar location, great food, amazing atmosphere. If you visit, I highly recommend choosing one of the tables outside. As a midwest resident and frequent Brentwood/Malibu visitor, this is one of my favourite places to catch a bite and watch the impeccable vintage sports cars that saunter by. People in this particular neighborhood have exceptional taste and it makes for a lovely back drop. 10/10 would recommend.

Obsessed with the egg sandwich

Horrible service. They forgot our appetizer - didn’t course the meal properly and forgot 2 dishes after. When I talked to the manager she told us that she was sorry they didn’t explain us this is how the restaurant runs - took zero accountability and kept making excuses for her team instead of handling the issue.
