50 Best American Restaurants near Pacific Palisades

“We shared the pub burger. Very good.“

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

“What a wonderful restaurant! It's in the Hammer Museum, but there's no museum fee. Just go to the second floor and it's a new world. Calm, wonderful menu that varies weekly, fabulous service, lovely wines and non alcoholic drinks. We will definitely be back“

“Exquisite creative brunch!“

“My brother and I had the most amazing night of superb jazz and food this past Sunday, entertained by Betty Bryant and ensemble. Her fingers moved like liquid gold on the keyboard and her compositions were witty and mesmerizing. The word that kept coming to mind as they performed was "subtle." The music was powerful, but so discrete as to be gentle and gentile. Woodwinds, Bass, and Drums - all played with the kind of delight that makes everyone love the performers as well as the music. As for food, one dish stood out particularly: the creamed spinach with blue cheese. Please tell Chef I would love that recipe! I'm back home in Tennessee now and plan to attempt to copy it, but having the authentic recipe to serve to friends when we entertain would be over the top! Can't wait to visit my brother in LA again and return to Herb Alpert's Vibrato Grill, Jazz, Etc. Just wow! And Thank You!“

“I have dined here twice, once for breakfast(which was amazing) and once for dinner. My recent visit was two weeks ago for dinner for my sister's birthday. Our food was absolutely scrumptious, everything we ordered was extremely DELICIOUS. There were five of us and all of us enjoyed our selections. The best part of our dining experience was our dining attendant, Michael. He was attentive, joyous, professional, knowledgeable, fun and gave awesome recommendations! We will be back very soon.

“An Unforgettable Dining Experience at Spago Beverly Hills“

“food and drinks were so good!“

“excellent service. very rich“

“I can't say enough good things about Jeff's gourmet. The food is fresh, well prepared, tasty, generous portions, reasonably priced for L.A. - Fast deliveries and always care to include napkins and forks. Really a wonderful restaurant. Thank you“

“My wife and I had a wonderful meal at Tar & Roses last night! Every dish was perfectly executed and our server, Katie, could not have done a better job! The receptionist squeezed us in, with a cancelation just before we called and gave us a terrific table. We were greeted warmly. The wine list had a good selection of wines by the glass and just the wines I needed to pair with my dishes. We can highly recommend the oxtail dumplings, octopus skewers, balsamic glazed short ribs,
Singapore crab cake, fried cauliflower with lavender honey, roasted brussels sprouts, cheesy whipped potatoes, the mushrooms and white beans and especially the strawberry crostata with vanilla ice cream for dessert! The vibe was good and my only disappointment was that we couldn't eat the entire menu in one sitting:-)“

“Great owner,staff,food,locations! Conscientious of patrons allergies, and very safe for celiac's“

“We had such a fantastic time at the Great White Cafe! The atmosphere was great, and the food was even better. My burger was absolutely tremendous - juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. My girlfriend loved her chocolate mousse, which was rich and decadent. Highly recommend this spot for a delicious meal and a great vibe!“

“Always great service and great food“

“Love the burgers and sushi.“

“biscuits “sent from heaven” Keyshia Cole voice Stopped by John O’Groats for some pre archery lesson fuel. Off rip, I knew it was gonna be bomb because my boyfriend actually has great taste and recommended it. I mean why would I date him otherwise? But I still had to be the one to taste it to believe it. Those biscuits put them on the MAP! I had lost faith in biscuits & gravy in this city. I have been let down time and time again because it was so weak. But these gave me hope for the future 🥹 I could see this place being my breakfast new normal. So if you ever want to stop by there, hit me up beforehand and we can brunch together🫶🏼🍽️ this is the type of place I would have FOMO over“

“A pleasant pitstop while traversing the beach. The food is great, staff very polite and friendly. Would post a Pic but this isn't that type of place. Very chill, put your phone away and enjoy the beach, volleyball courts and smiling passers.“

“The Apple Pan is one of those places that just gets it right. Great burgers, zero fuss and the same old-school vibe that’s kept people coming back for decades. Grab a burger, save room for pie, and you’ll understand why it’s an LA classic.“

“Dinner ,breakfast coffee, staff were so friendly and welcoming“

“This was my first time to a restaurant in the Culver Steps area and I LOVED it. Wonderful ambiance, sophisticated and classy, and staff certainly marched. Wonderful service and the food, every dish I tried, was SPECTACULAR. I had the ribeye and it was the best steak I have ever had outside of a dedicated steakhouse. Can’t wait to go back again soon!“

“A group of 4 of us had dinner together at this restaurant, and we ALL enjoyed the food. It’s a tapas / Family style and has a lot of options to choose from. we ordered the cauliflower, meatballs, shishito peppers, tagliatelle pasta, spicy Korean fried chicken wings… it was Enough to feed a small family! Cooked to perfection. Also we had the fluffernutter dessert.. honestly everything was Delicious!!!
the tagliatelle pasta and Korean wings were my favorite.
And given that I don’t drink, I love that they have a pretty decent mocktails menu! Thank you to our server, very accommodating!
The service was perfect.
Great ambience.
What more could you ask for?!
10/10 experience!
Highly recommend“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“Exellent !!!!!!! Good service !!!!“

“The food is phenomenal!! Everything is amazing“

“Been coming to North End since 2010. Best gem of the south bay. Some favorites from the lunch menu are the Manhattan, el guapo, Alicia, bolsa chica. The cobb salad. We also get fuego burger or the Jimmy salad. Get the breakfast potatoes too. Pretty awesome place and is right by the strand. My order lately is Bolsa Chica sandwich or old Cobb salad.“

“Excellent service and enjoyed the St. Patrick’s Day Menu! Thank you for a great experience.“

“Terrible place duchie not mad“

“Great place and a fun place to be“

“This is a hidden gem just off PCH. We absolutely love Country Kitchen!!! Best breakfast burrito in LA in my opinion. The potatoes are seasoned perfectly, the ratio of egg/cheese/potato is perfect and their salsa is delicious! There is parking and some tables outside, great to pick up to-go. We drive from Venice to Country Kitchen almost every weekend to get these.“

“The service was top notch. There is also a rooftop pool overlooking the city. Cool!☺“

“The experience was good, and some bites were amazing, but once you enter the second part I found it a bit inconsistent.

Tartare was too salty, and didn’t taste like it belonged at this price point. The mixed pairing was a bit confusing. It felt like there wasn’t enough for the price and the wine pours were incredibly stingy. The white wine pour in particular was so small I thought it was for the one dish, but it was for two, and they didn’t even top me up.

Ultimately the food is pretty good, but it’s not good enough for the price, and being forced into a mediocre pairing sucks.“

“As most of old Hollywood fades away silently, this one is going out with a bang! please consider stopping by, and stepping back into the days of Frank, Dino, and the rest of the Rat Pack..... you won't be disappointed.... if you can't stay, take home a fabulous TV dinner, from the menu.... again, it's not to be missed.... but don't wait too long, sadly it won't last forever, and another treasure will only be matchbooks and memories😞“

“Best nik naks & steak strips ever!“

“😃very clean place to visit“

“It was such a lovely venture out for my Mom’s birthday, on Friday. Alex and Dominique (management) are quite lovely, and helped make our dining experience all the more, a joy! Love the new additions to the menu, particularly the Mini Steak French Dips. The Chicken Parmesan was excellent with the twist of those ‘pepper-like sweet’ tomatoes. If there is ever something you want to bring back to the menu I would highly suggest the sliders, they were missed for sure lol! Looking forward to dining again here, soon. Cheers! ✨💖🥂“

“Our second time being there. Truly amazing experience. Food is absolutely outstanding, dessert is not as impressive. Typical pricing for testing menu is worth it BUT charging twice as much for ALMOST the same food and charging twice as much for valentine evening was not justified.“

“Craig’s is our go to place to dine and celebrate all important occasions. It is truly our home away from home close to where we reside. Craig and his team are like family. The food and service are excellent and always consistent. This is definitely an incredible place for people watching as well. Thank you Craig for always warmly welcoming us.“

“Great tasting food! Highly recommended.“

“Our server was excellent particularly being patient in describing menu items to my 104 year old mother in law who is hard of hearing. There is a very nice variety of appetizers and main dishes. It is one of those restaurants where it is hard to decide what to order because so many things sound good.“

“Great atmosphere friendly staff and amazing food 😎“

“great place to visit and dine it’s an icon“

“Great service @ amazing food!“

“Stopped in after an errand on an early weekday evening. Forgotten how much I enjoy being there. Above all, a wonderful, welcoming staff. Sat in the bar area at a table, the gentleman bartender is just so outgoing & friendly, wait staff is great too. A nice happy hour menu, but ordered off the regular menu with a glass of great wine.

Only callout to management. You have a great vibe with awesome staff. Upgrade your menu for customers who want more for dinner, than what everyone else on Main St serves: burgers, tacos, fried options. Your food quality & presentation is great, just don’t be content with “bar food”. You are sandwiched between multiple bars, sushi & Mexican food and nowhere on the street is there a nice, casual mid priced venue. You can do better on the menu & also add some more premium wines by the glass. The neighborhood will appreciate it.“

“Good prices, great food and fantastic staff.“

“Sat down in an outdoor patio for a quick glass of wine and bruschetta Saturday afternoon. Pleasant and helpful wait staff, relaxing environment, definitely recommend!“

“Only in town one day and ate here twice. Such a beautiful find. Kind staff. Good food. I wish I lived closer.“

“We went with my friend who has raved about this place since arriving in the area and let me tell you it did not disappoint! Ordered the seafood tamales and sweet potato quesadillas (pictured) The service was great, the staff was very friendly and attentive, and the owners were friendly and attentive to their customers. Highly recommended!“

“Muy buen trabajador los a tendió muy bien“
