New American Restaurants near Hollywood, CA

“What a friendly and hospitable breakfast place in the Loews Hollywood hotel. We were looked after by Lilly and what a sweetheart she is. Made us feel like we were in her home and looked after us like we were 5 stars. So much appreciated. Will be back for the service and morning sunshine views!“

“Hollywood's Best & Most Consistent Food & Drinks by far!“

“The staff was great, and food was good ! We’ll be back!!!“

“We visited almost 30’mns before closing time but the crew was very attentive and nice when preparing our meal . At no point did we feel rushed to finish our meal . Elizabeth at the Hollywood location went the extra mile to make sure our dinninh experience was a pleasant one.“

“love the Quality of Food😍😍😍“

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“Stopped by for dinner to check out the place. We are having an event there in a few weeks. AWESOME EXPERIENCE. Food was wonderful, service was perfect, management went out of their way to be gracious and welcoming. Can't wait to return in a few weeks.“

“I came across Playa Provisions when in town for business. It was a short Uber from the airport, so I figured I'd give it a try. This place is an absolute gem! It is a unique setup that has everything you'd possibly need from morning until late at night: Cafe in the front for coffee and fresh baked good, as well as full breakfast menu. Later in the heat of the afternoon, take a break from the beach (right across the street) and enjoy hand scooped specialty ice cream cones and shakes. Oh look, it's dinner time... and Playa Provisions opens their dining room and bar, some of the best, most relaxed ambience you'll find for miles around. But don't let the casual setting fool you, this is some incredible, elevated cuisine. Chef owners Nick and Brooke (who you might recognize) crafted a menu that's I've been eating my way through, and have yet to find a dish that's not delicious. You've been eating and drinking all day, and are exhausted? Don't leave yet! Wander into the back 'secret' whiskey bar, (Grain Whiskey Bar) and enjoy hand crafted cocktails from award winning bartenders (no, literally), in a gorgeous wood laden atmosphere. I consider myself a foodie, and try as many different restaurants and cuisines as I can. And yet, Playa Provisions remains my favorite restaurant in LA (and that's saying something, considering the amazing places in LA). Run, don't walk, to Playa Provisions. You'll thank me.“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“We had excellent food and service from Kenni!“

“The tasting menu is full of unique seafood dishes, and the portions are generous.“

“For it being u first timing dining out for Thanksgiving I was worried that the nostalgic feeling of a family gathering would be missing but I was definitely wrong. Everyone in the restaurant was having a great time and you could feel all the love and energy in the air. Started with some sourdough and truffle butter and some mezcal cocktails. Both were amazing. Dinner consisted of a 3 course menu and between our party, we were able to cover all items offered. The appetizers were a choice of scallops, crab cake, or pumpkin ravioli. All 3 were so delicious that we wish we don't want to share haha. The main courses were turkey, osso-bucco, or aJohn Dory fish plate. Again, all 3 were so delectable but the turkey and osso bucco were stars because they came with heaping sides. We paired our dinner with a couple bottles of Pinot noir from France. Dessert had a pumpkin pie, French applie pie, or a dark chocolate ganache tart. The pumpkin pie was probably the best I've had. The apple pie was also very good. The ganache tart was decent but very strong chocolate and orange flavors which I wasn't quite ready for. Service was excellent from all staff members and the decor gave you this feeling like you were at home. I will definitely be coming back to have a regular dinner because everything was on point.“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“What a wonderful discovery. The dining room is spacious yet creates a sense of intimacy. The food is delicious and interesting. The service is exceptional. This was my third visit and each time has been better than the last. Thanks to Billy and Laurissa for their special attention. “We see you and we care” was evident the entire evening.“

“Went for special holiday meal. Food was delicious. Probably the tastiest chopped chicken liver I've ever tasted. Fabulous brisket, potato pancakes, noodle kugel. Service was extremely good. The server helped make the evening fun. Terrific cocktails helped too. Will eagerly come back to the restaurant for brunch and dinner.“

“The food was delicious and a great place to dine. Next time bring some friends and enjoy the food“

“Great food and wine with a view“

“The little plates are yummy. I love the pita bread that came with the hummus (Salatim plate). The other plates were good also. I loved the bread pudding (I think it's better than the best cake). What I like the most about Bacari, besides the beautiful ambiance, is the friendliest staff.“

“We dined at Meteora for the 6-course tasting menu with the hybrid drink pairing and added the grilled avocado with Kaluga caviar, and overall it was a memorable, well-executed Michelin-star experience. The food was highly creative, with interesting and thoughtful twists throughout the menu - my standout dish was the diver scallop crudo, where the sauce paired with horseradish cream was so compelling I wanted more with every bite. The avocado and caviar add-on was undeniably expensive but absolutely worth it for the depth of flavor, while my boyfriend especially enjoyed the yam course. We both agreed the dry-aged duck was cooked beautifully, but flavor-wise it landed on the more average end compared to the rest of the menu.

The experience was incredibly generous: complimentary wine, a sourdough bite, and an extra dessert were all included, and between those additions, the avocado course, and the tasting menu, we left very full - I was ready to tap out after the fourth course. The hybrid drink pairing was decent and appreciated since we didn’t want a high-ABV experience; the wine stood out as the favorite, the beer and sake were fine, and the juice pairing wasn’t for us. Desserts were solid, though not especially memorable.

Service exceeded expectations based on some prior reviews - we were welcomed by knowledgeable, warm servers who clearly understood the menu and made the evening feel special, even writing us a card for our celebration. The ambiance was beautiful and cohesive, and the entire meal felt polished and intentional. While this is an experience I’m glad we had once, it’s not something I’d personally return to at this price point, as there are other restaurants I’d choose for a repeat splurge. Still, it was a lovely evening and a worthwhile one-time visit for those interested in a creative Michelin-starred tasting menu.“

“It’s tradition now — every time Adobe MAX is in town, I make it a point to stop by Yard House at L.A. Live! The team is always so welcoming, attentive, and genuinely courteous — they make every visit feel like coming home.

The truffle fries and tacos are always on deck, and they never disappoint! Perfectly crispy, flavorful, and just the right portion. And of course, I was so happy to see they still have my favorite Woodchuck Pineapple Cider — that’s my go-to every single time.

The soundtrack always hits just right, and the overall atmosphere is unbeatable — lively, stylish, and fun without being overwhelming.

Every year, this spot reminds me why it’s part of my Adobe MAX tradition — great food, great service, and great vibes all around.“

“Great service, tasty food, and amazing views. Good brunch spot.“

“This was a delightful, casual dining experience. The space is adequate, but I imagine it's packed during busy hours. Early brunch is a great idea. The service was friendly, the vibes were immaculate, and brunch was actually so much more than I expected!!! I read the reviews, but nothing prepared me for how delicious everything was!! Do whatever it takes to get those special pancakes. And if you like bread pudding, you'll LOVE their bread pudding bites!!“

“The best place for an incredible night out in LA!

As soon as we parked the smell of the outdoor grill hit us. We knew we were in for something special.

We were sat immediately with a reservation, and had the best service. Mike was our waiter and was everything you want in a server and more. He was present but not overly so, he knew his wines well, and was clearly very passionate about the food. He’s service absolutely made our night!

The food was the only thing that overshadowed Mike’s excellence, every bite was divine.

We shared the hummus toast, zucchini, Japanese, sweet potato, Shishito peppers. And for mains enjoyed a chicken skewer, lamb chops, and ribeye.

The lamb was seasoned and cooked perfectly, being my best bite of the night, but the chicken skewer won the hearts of the larger group.

We finished off with their chocolate cake which was perfectly gooey in the center.

There is so much more I would come back for. The atmosphere was just spectacular! Beautiful outdoor seating area, suitable for larger groups or small tables. Good music and great vibes.

All in all I’m just upset that I didn’t come try this place sooner. Definitely going to be a staple of mine moving forward.

If you go ask for Mike (Big Chicago Bears fan). You’re in the best hands with him!“

“Love the vibes here, you can come for a casual date, dinner with family or friends. I’ve had lunch and dinner here and I’m always pleased. My dad can’t get enough of the nachos. Sitting at the bar for just drinks is always fun too. Staff is very friendly and never really have to wait for a table.“

“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.“

“This place has an incredible musical vibe and an amazing staff of great humans!!!“

“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.“

“Excellent service and Food. It was Dine LA so we ordered that menu and the food was coursed out. Absolutely superb! What a great way to sample the chef’s specialties. Our waiter was the best!!!! Looking forward to dining again.“
