New American Restaurants in Los Angeles, CA

“love the Quality of Food😍😍😍“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing 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.“

“Tonight we, my husband and I, with our dear friends, the Crays, dined at Tomat for the first of what will be many times. The restaurant features a dining room and a roof top patio. A welcoming, comfortable space. The staff were all friendly and very knowledgeable about all menu items. Our server Miley took excellent care of us throughout dinner and dessert. She assisted us with choosing items that would pair well with each other. She was never too busy to stop to see if everything was to our liking. She brought the chef to our table so we could let him know personally how much we enjoyed his creations. He gave us a bit of background on his plan of sustainability and creativity for his restaurant. The food was amazing. We had several appetizers. The tuna carpaccio was amazing, light and dark tuna with the freshest tomatoes. The welsh rarebit was so delicious. The weiser melon with strawberry kimchi was a delicious surprise. The house milled saffron rice was amazing. Our mains did not disappoint. The trout and chips were excellent. Everyone at the table said “best trout we have ever had”. The vegetable chips were outstanding. The vaca vieja ribeye was perfectly cooked. The pork three ways with chamoy was also perfectly cooked. Dessert was madelines, warm from the oven, with the strawberry sorbet and the saffron ice cream. All were outstanding. Overall, this was a fabulous dining experience. Great food with great service in such a comfortable atmosphere. And, we have already made reservations for next month!“

“This place is amazing! They have an AWESOME happy hour and the setting (half open air bar and seating + half inside spacious restaurant) is honestly perfect for LA. Great vibes. Fantastic staff across the board. I love everyone there and wish I knew all of their names because I have only had good experiences, but Aria and Jake are two recent favorites. Highly recommend The Henry for brunch, dinner, drinks, or as mentioned - happy hour!“

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

“Ordered the off-menu Pomodoro pasta and it did not disappoint. The tomato and petit basil sauce was bright, fresh, and perfectly balanced. The wax beans were a standout - snappy and bright with serrano chile, toasted hazelnuts, and a tangy Frenchie vinaigrette. The garden lettuces were crisp and well dressed with radish vinaigrette, fresh dill, walnuts, and shallots. Good vibe, happy staff, great mix of flavors. The orange wine pairing tied it all together. Highly recommend Updated from previous review on 2026-03-29“

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

“I brought a small group to Meteora to celebrate a special achievement. The experience exceeded expectations in every way possible! The food was outstanding, with some really creative presentations. The service was absolutely impeccable ... the staff are all so personable and helped accentuate the overall experience. And the atmosphere/setting was truly unique.

I've eaten at numerous Michelin star restaurants in my life, including quite a few triple stars. This overall experience was among the best of my life, and was the very best for several of my guests. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!“

“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.“

“Great food and wine with a view“

“Had a lovely dinner and our server Jade was excellent! The shrimp cocktail was delicious and the hot fried catfish and fried hen sublime! A wonderful experience!“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“Absolutely fantastic. The best farm-to-table concept I've ever experienced. Extremely clean flavors: the quality of the ingredients shine through in every dish.

The Pastry chef is a standout: the truffle snd lemom pot de creme were the best i have ever had. Definitely get dessert.“

“Such an enchanting restaurant. I went there for the second time taking my girlfriends . It was such a hit and WE all had an amazing time . The food, service and atmosphere all are superb . We all got together after a long time and the relaxed atmosphere gave us the opportunity to catch up and enjoy the food and the drinks !!!“

“I’ve never been here before so decided to come in for happy hour before we went to the Saint Felix and had a nice little visit. The interior is a little bland and it’s not very cozy but the large bar area is nice especially for socializing. Hannah served us and she was friendly and attentive. I ordered a skinny margarita and she made it very well. Nice and skinny how I like it! My second drink, I ordered a glass of the champagne from the happy hour menu and I enjoyed it because it was extra brut nice and dry, but served in a tiny tiny glass. We had an order of the jalapeño cheese sticks and they were pretty darn good but really lacked presentation. Good happy hour prices. Might be back to try some more of their food. Love the happy hour!“

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

“If you need to host a last minute group lunch / brunch / dinner in LA…

We had a truly great experience at STK Westwood.

Booked online. No back and forth emailing and trying to figure out a PDF. They were very communicative. Logos on the menus. Generous mimosas. Multi course menu with variety for different dietary needs.

Bonus is that our event was on the weekend so the lot next the restaurant was flat rate.“

“good place and highly recommend.“

“The ambiance, food and service is great! Will be back definitely 💯!“

“Great service. steak was good. A but spendy. Enjoyed the atmosphere.“

“Food is a 4 star but the atmosphere and service were 5 stars. Group of us ordered most of the menu and everything was good but not great. Everything just lacked that punch of flavor but the standouts were the bruschetta and the ribeye with chimichurri were my favorites.“

“Amazing food, the place wonderful. Excelent service. I love it.“

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

“Fantabulous place to watch a game!“

“Fast friendly professional service and hot delicious food! I’ll definitely return 🥰“

“After our Altadena house burned down, we relocated to Barker Block and absolutely love being so close to Manuela. We used to have a fire table like yours, so dining here always carries a sense of home. Last night we brought friends, and they said, ‘This makes it hard to go out to eat in Monrovia—our restaurants cut corners with cheap ingredients and fast turnover.’ What your chefs create is the opposite: dishes with not just incredible flavor but extraordinary texture and detail. Their expertise is off the charts, and I highly recommend.“

“get the Hash! and some pie“

“The servings at this restaurant are HUGE! Just know that before you make my same mistake of ordering an appetizer and a meal AND a salad.

Queso was quite good. Vegetarian options plentiful. Side salad was easily the size of a main salad. The fettuccine was on the drier side, but I’m willing to forgive them for having Gardein on their menu.“

“Fast and good Nice people“

“I recommend Botanica to everyone. They use fresh hand picked ingredients and the food is delicous! Their cocktails and desserts are so yum. I picked up some chile oil and pickled local veggies for gifts for my friends! Chef Zarah and the staff are best. Will definitely be returning soon.“

“Food is worth of every penny, I know food is little bit costly (if you compare it with other restaurant), but surely you'll definitely like the food. The only thing which I don't like is the atmosphere of the restaurant, I mean I was there at dinner time, and lots of rush was there, and because of over crowd surrounded by me, I cannot eat peacefully.
But overall my experience was good. 4/5 rating from me“

“Best bakery...love their pastries.“

“I visited Vicky’s All Day in the morning and had a really relaxed breakfast experience. The restaurant had a bright, casual, and welcoming atmosphere that felt perfect for starting the day without any rush. The seating was comfortable and the overall vibe felt easygoing and friendly.

We ordered breakfast plates including eggs, toast, pancakes, breakfast potatoes, and coffee. Everything came out warm and fresh. The pancakes were soft and fluffy, the eggs were well-cooked, and the coffee was smooth and refreshing. The portions were generous and satisfying for a full breakfast.

The service was attentive and polite, with staff making sure everything was served properly and on time. The pace of service matched the relaxed morning setting.

Overall, Vicky’s All Day is a great breakfast spot if you want simple, filling food in a comfortable all-day dining environment.“

“Friendly Comfortable neighborhood spot“

“Amazing cocktails in a cozy environment“

“BADMAASH never disappoints. Easily one of our go-to spots for modern Indian food in LA. Everything was amazing as always. The chaat was super refreshing, the chicken tikka was oo lala level yummy, and the cheese naan with the curry was absolutely outstanding. Perfect mix of bold flavors, comfort food, and a cool vibe. Always looking forward to coming back.“

“My favorite place to hang in LA. The staff is super sweet, the food is fantastic, the drinks are amazing, particularly the Ginger Margarita, the atmosphere is gorgeous—whether you’re inside the stunning deco bar or outside on the beautiful patio. It’s a true gem.“

“Loved this place. We’ve passed by a bunch of times but finally decided to try it and was pleasantly surprised. Honestly everything was delicious.. we got the wings, the fried chicken sandwich, and lobster roll. The service was great too. Dave was amazing. Will definitely come back to try the burger.“

“The menu are all small plates, delicious doesn’t matter what you order. The place was packed on a Monday night, a sign of good food and good service. The parking is $11 for dinner. In Los Angeles, this is very fair.“

“Harbor House is the kind of place that makes it easy to slow down and enjoy a relaxed meal by the water. The waterfront setting really adds to the overall atmosphere and gives the restaurant a calm, scenic feel that works well for both casual lunches and dinners with friends or family. The seafood consistently tastes fresh, especially dishes like the fish tacos and grilled seafood platters, which are full of flavor without feeling overly heavy. The menu also has a good mix of seafood and classic American options, so there’s something for different tastes. Service feels friendly and laid-back, matching the overall vibe of the location. Overall, it’s a reliable spot if you’re looking for good food, waterfront views, and a comfortable dining experience.“

“Delicious! Really interesting and tasty food.“

“The food is good, but the management and the staff are out of this world. Keith, Mel, and the rest of the establishment thank you. Dennis and Stacey will definitely be back.“

“We came here for a birthday lunch and ordered the Truffle Mushroom Pizza, the Market Chop salad and the Shrimp Pasta. The salad and shrimp pasta was absolutely delicious but the pizza was... okay. The service was great and I would definitely come back again for another meal.“

“Always great service and great food“

“Great food. Large selection. Beautiful atmosphere. Amazing staff. A+!“

“Excellent burgers!!!!!!!!“

“Nice location for an large event. www.Instagram.com/MG4Synergy/“

“Unlike most beautiful, scenic restaurants in LA, where the atmosphere is stunning and the food tastes like it came from a prison, Cara Cara has managed to smash every single mark out of the ballpark. From the incredible food and drinks to the delightfully sweet and helpful staff, the cherry on top of all of it is the incredible view of DTLA. As a certified NYC food snob, I have been deeply underwhelmed by SO many restaurants out here. So grateful I found Cara Cara. It is hands down my new favorite spot.“
