I ended up dining alone unexpectedly, and what could’ve ended up being a Saturday night I’d rather forget has become one that I will rave about to whoever will listen. The food was great, but the service is what made the night worth every dollar spent. Sean and Allen behind the bar treated me with so much warmth and familiarity, making me as a first-time visitor feel like a lifelong regular. This sense of hospitality and kindness was present from every staff member I interacted with, a quality that feels increasingly rare today. It’s no wonder this place continues to have a cult following, after tonight I am a full convert. And this is coming from someone with a pathological fear of the animal that is this place’s namesake.

Tasty food – especially the albacore and tomato salad. Everything else was good and the vibe of the restaurant was lovely. Only let down was the pasta al limone which was a bit soupy compared to the traditional version – I would give it a skip despite its popularity.

Self-paid, honest review

Would totally go back JUST for the burger

✔ Burger ($30): Yes, $30 is steep, but honestly one of the best burgers in LA. Perfectly cooked medium, super juicy, soft fluffy bun, and that melted cheese just tied everything together. The fries? Extra crispy and addictive.
Secret tip: mix their house sauce + ketchup = game changer

✔ Off-menu pasta: Ask for it! Oven-baked with a golden, crispy top, soft and creamy inside with a subtle spicy kick that keeps you coming back for more. The toasted parmesan layer adds the perfect crunch with every bite. Absolutely worth it.

✔ Steak: Honestly… passable. The watercress on top had such a strong flavor it took over the whole dish. Should’ve gone for another burger instead

Vibe: casual but classy! perfect for date nights or small gatherings. Pricey? A bit perhaps, but for LA standards, pretty fair.

Next time, I’m definitely trying their famous Caesar salad!

Food was fantastic. We started with the Caesar salad. It was slightly different from your typical Caesar, and oh so delicious. My husband had the Cornish Game Hen and he just devoured it. It was so flavorful. We really loved the sauce. It was amazing. Especially having those bits of bread to soak it all up— we are obsessed. I had the off menu pasta, which was really tasty. We finished our meal off with the Eton Mess and it was divine. We hadn’t gone to a restaurant where we loved every single item we ordered in a long time. The cocktails were great as well.

Service was good. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and very helpful in his suggestions. The food menu options are limited, which we prefer, because I think it allows a restaurant to really perfect their selections and they definitely have. Quality over quantity, always.

My husband and I are both older adults, but I was honestly delighted that our waiter provided us with crayons for the table. I wasn’t expecting it at a restaurant like this. We had a lot of fun doodling and playing “tic tac toe” and “hangman” in between courses.

Overall, we loved the entire vibe. The little horse details were cute. We’ve been doing a lot of horse track betting lately, so we wanted to continue on with the theme for dinner, which was perfect! We will definitely be back.

We went for the burger, and it was a huge disappointment. We had some great surprises along the way though. Their butter is just amazing. And I would come back for that alone. Dessert was pretty good as well. Staff was very friendly. Shame the burger wasn’t to our liking.

Feels like a cross between old Hollywood and NYC’s best modern restaurants. Cooking is killer, with subtle creative twists, yet entirely unpretentious. Cocktails are great. What more do you want?

Horses on Sunset is one of those rare places that consistently delivers the kind of night out you hope for in Los Angeles but almost never get—unpretentious but stylish, effortlessly cool without trying too hard, and above all, solid. The front bar area is fun, approachable and great people-watching—like dining inside a curated Instagram account of “hot LA with a literary past.” Loud, alive, and always entertaining. If you’re more in the mood for a low-key dinner, the main dining room offers a more comfortable, quieter energy, and the outdoor patio has just enough twinkle to make it feel like a proper date spot.

The menu? Small. Purposefully so. And that’s part of the brilliance—no Cheesecake Factory novel of options here. Just a few dishes done extremely well. The butcher’s steak is a textbook example of why less is more, the hamburger and fries are classic in the best sense (like, if you had friends visiting from France and wanted to show them what an LA burger should taste like), and the Caesar salad is oddly genius—its own thing entirely. Last night I tried the rockfish for the first time, and I say this as someone who tends to approach restaurant fish like a trust fall—it was one of the best meals I’ve had in months. Perfectly cooked, full of flavor, light and rich at the same time.

Cocktails are strong, both literally and creatively, and the service is on point. The waitstaff is always well-versed in the menu, never upsell-y, and Amanda at the host stand is basically the unofficial mayor of the place. She makes the chaos look effortless, and somehow everyone gets seated, taken care of, and seen.

And yes, there’s a not-so-secret off-menu pasta—Herman’s Pasta—that comes out in a metal pan with crispy, caramelized edges and a perfect al dente center. You’ll want to ask for it every time once you know.

Lastly, the sheep’s milk cheese cake + poached plums; one of the best deserts…full stop!

Five stars, no hesitation. Horses is a modern LA classic that’s managed to stay relevant without becoming a caricature of itself—and that’s no small feat.

Loved this place! Trendy restaurant with Italian/French cuisine. Great for dates or groups! I recommend sharing a couple of starters such as the Caesar salad (this is brought with cheddar cheese which was interesting), the smoked salmon flatbread and bread with butter (they make the butter in house). For entrees, I ordered the cheeseburger with a delicious side salad. The stripes trout was also a lighter option that was great. For dessert go for the chocolate cake with marshmallow. Service was a little slow. Prices are high.

Finally made it to Horses LA. Dubbed a “cult favorite,” and despite what you may have heard, the hostess Amanda at the front was actually very nice and seated us right away.

We were placed at the back bar near an exit door—which probably shouldn’t be a seat, but hey, it’s an LA restaurant squeezing you in without your comfort in mind. Between getting bumped by boxes, cold air blowing in and servers squeezing past all night, it wasn’t ideal. That said, we still had a great time. The bar was packed with lesbian couples, a gay server, and an eclectic crowd that made me feel like I’d stepped into a liberal Hollywood movie. Shout out to our server who was super cool and genuinely hospitable and the people at the bar who really added to the experience.

The decor is old Hollywood and lively, and overall the atmosphere is great for grabbing drinks with friends and embracing a night of chaotic fun. Probably not the best spot for a romantic date with my girlfriend, but perfect for a rowdy night out.

For drinks, we ordered a dirty martini and a Midori sour. Thankfully, they didn’t mess up the martini, but the Midori sour was pretty watered down. Oh well.

Now, the real reason we came: the food. We tried the fan favorites—the salmon lavash (something I could easily make at home), the Caesar salad (the clear star of the night and easily could’ve fed five people; salty, creamy, and delicious), and the burger. After all the hype, the burger didn’t come close to being one of the better burgers in LA, but it did come with a massive portion of salty fries to soften the disappointment.

All in all, I’m glad I finally made it to Horses. I loved the atmosphere and the eclectic crowd, but the food really didn’t hit the mark. I don’t totally get the hype, but I’d come back with friends for a night out on the town.

I had been told to visit Horses for a while now and finally decided to go on my birthday. It was extremely busy starting around 8pm for a Wednesday night. We were a few minutes late and the hostess wasn’t very impressed but still managed to get us a nice booth for dinner even though we didn’t request it beforehand on the reservation which we didn’t know we could do. You can also get food at the bar if there are no tables available. The drinks are delicious. I got the Horse’s Bramble which was delicious. Note it’s premixed so you can’t change the alcohol from vodka to gin for example. I also got this rum drink which was delicious but I forgot the name. For dinner we were highly recommended the off the menu baked vodka pasta dish which was amazing. That along with the Caesar Endive salad are the best things you must get when you go. Don’t bother with the pork. I could have missed that and instead should have done the cheese burger which everyone recommended to me before going.
The parking is difficult and so I’d recommend doing valet. Overall I left very satisfied and would definitely go again.
