Restaurant at The Getty Center

My boyfriend and I went here a few weeks back and the energy in this place was weird. We were hungry so we just walked into this place to get some lunch, and one of the waiters/ host (white male) looked us up and down in a judgemental way, and didn’t even say hi nor acknowledge us. We had to wait until a hostess acknowledged us but even then she looked at us in a judgmental way. An older probably upper class white couple walked in behind us and he immediately greeted them and acknowledged them… your employees need to humble themselves. Ignoring us yet acknowledging guests who came in right after us? Overall this place is unwelcoming and has bad energy. Don’t come here if you’re not a rich white family or an older couple I guess.

The food is not only delicious but visually appealing and suited the atmosphere of a restaurant inside of an art museum. We started our meal with the cheese plate and tuna carpaccio both of which were an amazing first course. I then ordered the pan seared cod and my girlfriend ordered the octopus. Both were cooked to perfection and full of rich flavors and complimentary accoutrements. Finally to finish our meal we ordered a serving of ice cream which is always a good choice and the Cloud de Maron. The latter of which was not only visually stunning but also deliciously decadent. You can tell that folks in the kitchen really care by how perfectly cooked and meticulously plated everything is. The front of the house was no different. I never felt rushed and the staff was friendly and attentive. 10/10 will definitely return. Dietary restrictions: Vegetarian options are available and they are willing to accommodate any dietary restrictions if they are given advance notice.

A must see for anyone who enjoys art.

The only reasons to eat there are the convenience and ambiance..

We were put on the worst table of the restaurant even though the restaurant was only half full. People were walking by all the time. My wife was freezing as the door was so close and opened frequently. Salads were good.

The black truffle mushroom pasta was superb. The varieties of mushrooms, aged Parmesan, and seared trenne pasta were wonderful.

Fantastic views and great food, highly recommended!

The prices are a little high, I guess it's ok. The food looked and smelled delicious.

게티 레스토랑이 일찍 문닫아서 바로아래층 카페에 왔다. 특이하게 김치볶음밥이 있었고, 고추장스테이크도 있었다. 특히 스프가 완전 맛있다.
