Hermon’s is pure charm, warm lighting, a touch of nostalgia, and a menu absolutely worth the Westside trek.
The scallop crudo is bright and clean, like it practices breathwork. The tuna carpaccio is silky and hypnotic. The loaded potato fritters were the runaway favorite and aggressively elbow guarded.
The salads slap, full stop. The zucchini and burrata tastes like summer behaving its best.
Then the mains roll in and Hermon’s really flexes. The mushroom bourguignon is comfort food that studied abroad in Paris and returned a star. The whole branzino is bronzed, flavorful, and now living rent free in my head.
Lemon baked Alaska arrives like the headliner, perfect, dramatic, unforgettable.
Hermon’s is that rare new spot that nails every detail. Inviting, polished, and genuinely happy you’re there. The food hits, the drinks are generous, and the whole place hums with rizz. Last Word Hospitality did it again.
Already planning my return.

About three months in and reservations are already tight. It’s an ode to the American bistro, familiar, spacious, buzzy, and elevated just enough to feel current. The meal starts with the chopped chicories salad that balances bitter greens with an anchovy black garlic dressing that’s present but never domineering. While the yellowfin tuna crudo is clean and competent, it’s quickly eclipsed by the loaded potato fritters with trout roe. These are plush, golden bites topped with a literal cream cheese cloud and trout roe. Cut into four for sharing, though you’ll immediately wish you had the whole plate to yourself.
For mains, the two-sheet vongole is abundance on a plate, featuring wide sheets of pasta in a cream sauce with clams and breadcrumbs. The cheeseburger leans classic with a juicy, beef forward profile and a sesame milk bun absorbing the juices without collapsing. Fries are crisp and dependable. Then comes the whole grilled branzino. Beautifully executed dish with crisped skin, smoky exterior, tender fish, and balanced accompaniments. Dessert keeps the momentum. The skillet cookie is warm, gooey, salted with melting vanilla ice cream and the lemon baked alaska is visually impressive, layering bright custard and airy meringue around a vanilla ice cream core. Hermon’s is food designed to please with the overall experience comforting and appealing.

We were lucky to secure a reservation for Hermon’s on their opening night! There was definitely a healthy line of walk ins, so reservations are recommended. First off, the vibes of the place are cozy and comforting. Exactly what you would want in a neighborhood spot . The cocktail list was impressive to me (and I love my cocktails) so I adored the thoughtful attention to this part of the menu. My only note would be the drinks often took a long time to arrive (although the food was well paced) but I have full confidence the team will soon work this out….it was opening night after all.
We enjoyed the fries, garlic bread, burger and mushroom bourguignon. Everything was delicious and I’m excited to see the menu expand as this was limited to start.
Of note, there didn’t seem to be any items marked vegan on the menu, but there could be some coming down the line or when modified. We also brought our five month old daughter who fit in perfectly for the seating, and we saw a family with their two year old and a 9 week old as well. However, it is unclear if there are high chairs available so families take note.
All in all, excited for Hermon’s – when you are here, you are in Hermon!

Had a great time. The owner is friendly and approachable. The staff is on it and nice. Just be mindful that seating is difficult to get. This place hasn’t been open for a month yet, so it’s very trendy right now. You may want to get a reservation or you might end up waiting for a long time, or have to try again on another day. Keep checking the reservation page for reservations. The drinks are great and well priced. Most drinks are under 20$, so you can try many different drinks. The old fashion was on point if you’re a whisky drinker. The braised stuff looked amazing. I sat near the kitchen and saw the charcoal oven they used for braising and it looked legit.

So excited for this place!!! Wow they did a spectacular job. Gorgeous design, incredible food, really blew me away.
The burger was quite possibly the best burger I’ve ever had. Blew my mind. The potato fritters were stellar, crunchy, decadent. And the citrus salad was perfect. Everything was divine.
Staff is super friendly. And the interior design is so beautiful and homey. A perfect addition to the neighborhood.
Also, the coconut fizz with scotch was delicious. Wow.

I had a reservation weeks in advance for 6pm on Monday night. The vibe was cool and cozy just like I have seen on IG. However I had a feeling like our server was rushing through the night from the moment we got in. They were advising everyone to order everything at the same time including appetizer and main. Ended up getting 2 appetizer, 1 veggie, 1 main dish for two people. It was described as family style but portion could have been larger. Overall it was a nice dining experience but couldnt agree with all the hypes.

With expectations as high as the wait list and line outside suggested, the food was mid at best. The drinks, crudo, and atmosphere were highlights, and if you skipped the rest of the menu, it might seem worth the hours or months of waiting, but frankly I was perplexed. We’ll be back, because I cant understand what the hype is, but I worry that its just that, hype.

Hermon caught our eye just from driving by before it opened. We were excited to try it right after the grand opening. Seating was fast with a reservation, our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive, the old fashion was perfectly balanced and the burgers full of flavor and decadent. The atmosphere reminded me of a dim light restaurant in New York. Perfect low key but upscale spot for a date.

Im so happy that Hermon finally has a restaurant! Not to mention the food, service, and atmosphere are amazing. I’ve been once for happy hour and twice more to dine with neighborhood friends, and everything I’ve sampled on the menu was amazing.
The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and they even allowed us to order a drink while we wearied for our table. If you love Classic upscale American fare in a warm enviting space, you will love this place. I sure do.

A must! I think this might be one of if not the best burger in LA! The space and design is also top tier. Martinis are and the booths are a great vibe.
