After spending a relaxing afternoon at the beach and at the hotel, we decided to stop by the restaurant for dinner. It would have been beautiful to sit outside, but the sun had already gone down and the temperature dropped, so we chose a cozy indoor table instead. The staff was very nice and polite, although it did seem like they were a bit disappointed that we didn’t order wine. There was a sommelier on site who even stopped by to ask if we were interested in non alcoholic options.

We ordered the roasted eggplant, the grilled dates, and the melitzanosalata. Every dish was genuinely delicious and so well prepared. The dates were definitely unique. We really enjoyed everything and appreciated the quality of the food.

However, waiting for the bill was a different story. It took longer to receive the check than it did to get our entire meal, and we weren’t sure what caused the delay. It left the ending of the experience feeling a bit off compared to the rest of the evening.

Overall, the food was wonderful and the ambiance was lovely, but a smoother finish would have made the visit even better.

This is a nice upscale restaurant. It says it’s Mediterranean, but it’s more of a fish restaurant with fish from the mediterranean. We think that the menu was more Mediterranean aware. The hummus was unique and tasty, and the roasted chicken was delicious. The fish was good as well. The menu was just limited. Yumi served us well and was a highlight of our experience.

From the moment we walked in, we felt completely taken care of. Next level service! The setting and design of the restaurant are stunning. And the food was amazing. Hard to pick favorites but the trio of dips, lamb and Greek yogurt dessert were incredible. We sat outside and it was chilly but worth it. Heat lamps and blankets kept us warm and we got to enjoy the stunning view.

Dining at Studio Mediterranean with a friend was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The food was delicious, light, and full of flavor — every dish was fresh, perfectly balanced, and beautifully presented. We chose different plates and couldn’t stop eating, as each bite revealed a delicate harmony of ingredients that reflected both creativity and precision in the kitchen.

The setting is simply gorgeous, with a breathtaking view of the ocean and the most stunning sunsets that paint the sky every evening. The elegant yet relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect place to enjoy great food and conversation while soaking in the beauty of the coast.

But what truly makes Studio Mediterranean stand out is the warmth of the service. The entire team — from the server and bartender to the manager, host, and sommelier — brings an authentic kindness and professionalism that elevate the whole experience. Their genuine hospitality makes every guest feel cared for and welcome, creating a sense of connection that’s rare to find.

If you wish to share a wonderful experience with family or friends, Studio Mediterranean is truly the place to be. A perfect blend of elegance, flavor, and heartfelt service — unforgettable from start to finish.

Seafood heavenly options, immaculate views and wonderful staff. I had the whole lobster with orzo, eggplant and pork skewers. Definitely the place you go to if you don’t want to be disappointed. Sad I couldn’t get a shot of the ocean but if you do go, sit on the patio and reserve it around sunset!

Beautiful experience! From the welcome to the farewell. The hummus trio platter is incredible. The pita bread, amazing!

Freshest, buttery branzino I’ve ever tasted!

The baklava pistachio sundae is a must have.

Upon arrival we were welcomed by Dee who was just a warm embrace of what was about to come. I was celebrating a very special weekend with my fiancé and he accommodated us with seating that in the end was worth it 100%. Priscilla was our server for the night and made the dining experience extremely easy and casual. Just what we were looking for. The food was incredible and had such an elegance to each plate I couldn’t help but stop and stare before eating the plate and basically licking it clean. Chef Dennis, we appreciate the food experience truly.

Also want to give a shout to our sommelier, Claude, for the information about Cahors.

Thank you to the staff and everyone there. We’ll be back without a doubt.

The view is absolutely phenomenal, and while the food is acceptable, the service is truly unbearable. From the moment we walked in, it was clear there was a double standard. Other guests were warmly greeted by Mr. and Mrs. [Last Name], while my husband was addressed by his last name and I was awkwardly asked and what should I call you? I replied, “Just his wife is fine,” and from there, the experience only went downhill.
It took nearly an hour before our actual waiter showed up. The waitress checked on us maybe twice the entire evening and didn’t even offer the complimentary valet—despite our car being parked right out front. My husband drives something quite nice, so this lack of courtesy was hard to miss.
The manager, who seemed more interested in gossiping with the staff than ensuring guests were taken care of, did not help the situation. As locals and Waldorf members, we had high expectations, but this restaurant simply doesn’t compare to the service at Bourbon.
It’s disappointing that such a beautiful setting is overshadowed by the unprofessional and indifferent attitude of the staff. Our community and neighbors are close-knit and love supporting local venues—we would have loved to become regulars here, but unfortunately, this experience made that impossible

Excellent food after a long time. Chef Dennis is incredible, The flavors were perfectly balanced! You’ve brought out the best of Mediterranean and Greek cuisine. Julia was an amazing server to us, always smiling with positive energy.
I encourage other LA restaurants to follow or do the same or better.
Give 10/10 to them, kudos!
