Artful, seasonal American dishes & picturesque views in an elegant space adjoining the museum.

Everything that we had here was delicious. It’s a small menu but the quality is better than the quantity of items. Staff all made us feel very welcome, very attentive and warm service. Beautiful dishes and fantastic desserts.

Pricey $$$. $20 for cocktails, $27 eggs Benedict, $9 side potatoes, $13 glass of sparkling water. Eggs Benedict was good, the salad it came with tasted like actual dirt, potatoes were tasty, and the cocktail was not worth $20…..cocktail was not balanced with the flavors just overwhelming taste of whiskey.

Had lunch here before heading into the Getty Center, and it was a perfect choice. The restaurant has high ceilings and big windows all around, letting in tons of natural light and offering great views. 
The menu was straightforward but had enough variety to choose from.
• Getty Cobb Salad: Loved the addition of apple and blue cheese—it added a nice twist.
• Crispy Pork Belly Bun: Totally forgot to snap a photo, but my friend couldn’t stop raving about it. The pork belly was tender and moist.
• Pasta with Braised Short Ribs: The meat was tender and flavorful, and the pasta was perfectly al dente.
• Organic Roasted Chicken with Rosemary and Thyme: This was the standout dish. The skin was crispy, and the meat was juicy and flavorful. It came with a vegetable shepherd’s pie that had sweet diced veggies under mashed potatoes and carrots—really tasty.
Service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better.
Overall, a great place to grab a relaxed lunch before exploring the museum.

One of my favorites.
Staff is attentive, knowledgeable and overall wonderful.
The atmosphere is calm and the view is wildly scenic.
The food was amazing. They were serving the bass this time around, perfectly prepared. Dessert was great as well, involuntary expletives abound.
Wonderful place with wonderful people.

The Restaurant at the Getty Center is a gem! I love coming here for lunch for fine dining. We have come here to celebrate an Anniversary or Birthday, or just to get a fine dining experience!
Reservations were made easily online. We showed up 20 minutes early, but the staff said it was perfect timing and brought us in immediately. The menu changes very few months and I love the choices the chef makes each Season.
The staff is VERY Attentive, kind, polite, and not intrusive. We each ordered an appetizer and a main course and shared a dessert!
The LOVE LOVE LOVE their desserts. The chef always produces a work of edible art, so ask the staff! I truly felt like my birthday was a special one, thanks to THE RESTAURANT.
I highly recommend going at lunch during the week. On weekends, the menu changes to a Brunch Menu. We prefer the weekday menu.

We had a 7 pm reservation on Saturday night. The restaurant was 25-30% filled. The 2 appetizers & 1 dessert were amazing. The 3 entrees were mostly misses – too much salt all 3 & my medium steak was overcooked. The tuna tartare & grilled octopus were excellent. Tuna tartare was light & refreshing. The grilled octopus was smoky & cooked perfectly, tender & not chewy. The accompanying arugula salad mix & dressing were matched perfectly for a balanced taste. The star of the meal was the chestnut river rocks dessert. The mochi like rocks in 2 contrasting colors were filled with a dense chestnut mousse, accompanied with a brown sugar crumble underneath with a touch of blueberry honey sauce. As you can see the presentation is top chef worthy. Next time we will order small plates, salads, & desserts.

“The Restaurant at The Getty Center” offers a truly luxurious dining experience. The food was exceptional, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and bursting with flavor. The stunning view of Los Angeles added an unforgettable touch, making it perfect for a special occasion. The staff were friendly, polite, and attentive, adding to the upscale atmosphere. Their wine selection is outstanding, catering to even the most discerning palate. While the experience is on the expensive side and service was a bit slow, it’s well worth it for the quality, ambiance, and overall experience. Highly recommend for a sophisticated and memorable meal!

The view is spectacular. You are paying for the view when you eat here. I had a pork banh mi (traditional Vietnamese sandwich with a slight twist) – it was good but you are definitely paying a bit more for the atmosphere. The glass of cabernet wine went well with my sandwich. Friend had a healthy salad.

The views are breath-taking, the food is scrumptious, and the service is outstanding. I can highly recommend the Wagyu Burger, Cheese Board, Cobb Salad, and the Cold Gazpacho soup. The Cheese Board itself is a symphony of flavours that’s worth the visit. Given the panoramic views of Los Angeles, and the excellent food, no visit to the Getty would be complete without dining here. It is moderately expensive, but just about worth it.

My parents were in town so decided to take them to the Getty, and even better their restaurant.
Service was fabulous! The ambiance was lovely.
The food was out of this world. Everything was amazing and entertaining as well. I recommend the halibut, scallops, beet salad, and flourless dessert.
Simply amazing!
