This place exceeded my expectations. The food, the vibe, and the service were all flawless. Will definitely coming back here again
Omg. What a menu. Who ever thought Brussel spouts could ever taste so good. I could take a big bowl of those with a huge spoon! Wow! Everything was great!
Fantastic food and atmosphere

Verse is a distinctive restaurant with an inviting atmosphere that feels like a private speakeasy club. The dimly lit room features cozy home library decor, complemented by live soft jazz music performances that create a lively yet intimate setting. The staff, serving as guides, provide a warm welcome and share interesting details about the restaurant’s history and design. The menu includes incredible dishes, with standout items such as the Peruvian Scallops, Pork Risotto, and Milk Buns. Guests enjoy the amazing service and beautifully decorated space, which was converted from an actual recording studio, offering excellent acoustics for the live band. The Milk Buns with butter are highly praised, and dishes like the Lobster pasta, mushroom pasta, smashed potatoes, and broccolini are described as heavenly. The Olive Oil cake is also well worth trying, and a surprise dessert for a special occasion adds to the memorable experience. Portions are perfect, and every dish is considered top notch, with food that is better than many Michelin star restaurants. The service is outstanding, with each dish explained as it is served. The ambiance, drinks, and music make for a complete and enjoyable experience. Parking is convenient with plenty of street options available, making Verse a must-try destination that many are eager to visit again. Visitors describe the sound experience as perfect, with incredible sound, food, wine, and vibe. Celebrations and special nights are common, with guests being treated to personal stories from staff and even a tour of the kitchen, including meeting the chef. The combination of great food, music, and service makes it a truly unique spot in Los Angeles that leaves guests eager to return.
