Modern European Restaurants near Los Angeles, CA

“It was our anniversary, as I had mentioned when making the reservation, and unfortunately, nobody even acknowledged it. It was quite disappointing and not a good feeling to have on such a special night. We also felt a bit forgotten between our appetizer and main course. By the time the main course arrived, we were both kind of over the experience, which was unfortunate. Nobody came by to check on us or ask if we wanted another drink. The atmosphere itself is beautiful, and I would recommend coming here for a regular night out, but based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend it for a special occasion.“

“Loved this place. We came in on a random Tuesday when the world cup happened to be on and they still accommodated us and went above and beyond to give us excellent service. The food and the drinks were also good. Overall great experience and we'll definitely be back.“

“Delicious brunch today at Lemon Poppy. The whole family enjoyed it.“

“As someone born and raised in Greece,
I’m very particular about what I call authentic Greek food—and Taverna at The Mar Vista is the real thing. 🇬🇷

The food genuinely brings me back home.
The recipes have been passed down through three generations, and you can taste that tradition in every dish.
This isn’t Americanized Greek food; it’s the kind of simple, flavorful, traditional cooking I grew up with in Greece.

A special mention to Maria, the consulting chef—she is absolutely incredible.
Her passion, knowledge, and respect for authentic Greek cuisine come through beautifully in the food.

Their Sunday lunch/brunch and traditional Greek BBQ are a must—beautiful grilled meats, fresh Greek salad, tzatziki, warm pita,
and all the flavors you expect from a real Greek taverna.

The service is excellent—warm, attentive, and genuinely hospitable—and the ambience is amazing.
Sitting outside under the trees honestly gives you that relaxed Mediterranean feeling of a Sunday afternoon back in Greece.

Three generations of recipes, authentic Greek flavors, wonderful hospitality, and an atmosphere that feels like home.
The most authentic Greek experiences in Los Angeles. 🇬🇷💙“

“Kashtan is our favorite deli and restaurant. We recently catered for a birthday and everyone loved the food. We had leftovers that we enjoyed for days so the portions are more than generous. The people are nice, friendly, humorous, and helpful. We recommend Kashtan for any occasion. You will love it. 10/10“
