Food is delicious. Staff is very friendly. Great place to hang out and have a good time.
Outstanding afternoon tea service. Everything was beautiful and pleasing to the palate too. We are going to return again.
Expensive for grab-n-go but pretty good offering. Chickpea and greens wrap was quite good. Loved sitting under high ceilinged dining area.

The Garden Terrace Cafe at the Getty Center offers a delightful dining experience with stunning views and a menu that caters to various tastes. Visitors can enjoy a glass of Chardonnay from the renowned Liquid Farms winery while indulging in dishes like the Black Truffle pasta, the pan-seared scallops, and Mary's chicken entrΓ©e. The restaurant's spacious atmosphere and fine-dining presentation create a well-rounded experience, complementing the impressive exhibits at the J. Paul Getty museum. While the menu may not be particularly innovative, it features classic dishes such as Cobb salads and pasta with truffles. The Banana cake with Banana banoffee crΓ©meux and chocolate-hazelnut praline is a standout dessert, and the Grasshopper cocktail adds a fun, nostalgic touch.
Recent reviews highlight the fantastic food as a small celebration on a plate. The restaurant continues to be a consistent and predictable place to dine, with prices that reflect the logistical challenges of its location. The view is marvelous, and the tranquility, whether inside or from the pleasant gaze, is highly valued. Meals are well-prepared and served by an efficient and enthusiastic staff. The dining and restroom facilities are extremely clean, receiving praise from guests. One server, Arwen, was noted for being professional, attentive, and knowledgeable, enhancing the dining experience. Reservations are recommended due to the popularity of the cafe. Though some suggest more healthy choices on the menu, the beautiful surroundings make the Garden Terrace Cafe a must-visit for those exploring the Getty Center.
