Fun, interesting, and delicious meal with attentive and unfussy service. Hybrid paring was refreshing and the NA options all were top notch. Will be delighted to return.

Beautiful experience. From the second you walk through the gate, it's abundantly clear Seline is worth the price of admission. Top level service, artisan level food in both plating and taste, in a warm, welcoming environment. Stellar.

From the first moment we entered the restaurant and were escorted to our table - we knew we were at a Michelin two star venue. Service, ambience, and especially the food was out of this world. As good or better than the French Laundry. All 14 courses of their “Fall” menu were delicious. (Although the caviar dessert wasn't our favorite). The wine pairing menu was also very good (the “hybrid” was even better. ). One exception - the young barbaresco wasn't the best match with its course - too young, tight and tannic. Again - Seline was fantastic a could easily be given three stars by Michelin. It is that good

Chef Dave is a master at mixing ingredients and textures. This was probably the most creative menu I've ever experienced, and it was all presented within the theme of “Autumn Exploration.” This is definitely three star caliber and possibly the most innovative culinary journey is Los Angeles.

We had the most amazing meal and experience at Seline — our second visit, and it was every bit as incredible as the first. The flavors, presentation, and attention to detail were perfection. Chef Dave Beran was phenomenal — his creativity and passion truly shine through every course. We can't wait to come back again!

We've followed Chef Beran's journey in LA from Dialogue to Pasjoli, and were looking forward to trying Seline. Unfortunately, the experience felt like a restaurant trying too hard to impress rather than focusing on what truly matters: flavor and consistency. Out of all the plates we tried, only a few stood out, the simplest ones. The cod with miso was beautifully balanced, clean, and perfectly executed, proving that restraint often leads to the most memorable dishes. Sadly, many of the other plates suffered from the opposite problem: too many components fighting for attention, resulting in either overwhelming (salty or sugary) or completely muted flavors. One dish featuring black truffle had no trace of truffle aroma or flavor, a clear miss. Seline's team should prioritize genuine, balanced cooking over social media-driven presentation. At its current price point, higher than many Michelin-starred restaurants, Seline doesn't yet deliver the quality or refinement to match. We truly wanted to love it, but left wishing the team would lean less into gimmicks and more into the elegant simplicity that once defined Chef Beran's best work.

Exceptional from every perspective. The food, the presentation, service and ambiance were all top shelf. Great experience.

Chef Dave and his team are incredible. My husband kept asking how each dish could be better than the next. We were blown away by the food, ambiance and service. I hope this place gets the recognition it deserves! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Service was amazing, food was like eating small pieces or art, even the dinnerware was entertaining and different. We did the multi course tasting with wine pairing, just know it is going to be a bit spendy..... but it was an amazing gastronomical experience and worth it. The Chef stopped by and gave a little back story to his style of cooking and that was a nice touch. Walking into the kitchen to eat liquid nitrogen mustard leaves dusted with ginger powdered sugar made for an incredibly unique experience. If you are a foodie, looking for a memorable experience I would highly recommend this dining journey.
Wonderful service and delicious food made for an unforgettable dining experience. Looking forward to returning for the next season's menu!

We had a superb experience and will definitely be back soon. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fine dining experience. Chef Dave Beran has exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed the Autumn menu and looking forward to the Winter menu. Thanks to Chef Beran and his crew who made our evening memorable one.

The service was what was to be expected for a Michelin restaurant. The food was nice, fresh but nothing stood out comparatively The most awkward, was we did not order beverage pairing. We preferred water and to choose our own wine with dinner. The 2 selection's for white wine by the glass were poor and we were not asked if we would like a som to help choose a bottle(s) to accompany the courses. Instead we were served Kambucha pairing (which we did not ask for). The first glass came out and we thought it was part of the 1st course. Midway through after several other Kambucha pairings we realized there was a mistake. However,  we felt awkward to ask due to the way things were presented and different staff members delivering our courses. Towards the end of dinner, we were one of two or three tables left in the restaurant and felt as though we were ending our dinner in the midst of them wanting to close up the restaurant. The bill came and it wasn't the $300 person that was an issue, it was the additional $500 for the kombucha's :( (3 of us) And again feeling awkward, not that it was the price so much as it felt. It was a sneaky slight to increase the overall bill at the end of the night. I live in Santa Monica and I understand many restaurants, especially the higher end restaurants are suffering due to the film industry decline and the recent fires - I am happy to support our local restaurants and have no issue paying the price but an additional $500 for something we didn't ask for makes for an uncomfortable experience.
