Fantastic experience! Jon our curator was amazing with recommendations for both food and wine selections. The music was flowing and relaxing. The food was great! Perfect for date night, friends night out, or solo date.

Not going to lie, this was tremendously underwhelming. The food was ghastly, the live jazz sounded like I was on hold waiting for an insurance agent. It was hot and claustrophobic inside with no windows, and the place is too hip to have a sign out front, so fellow party members found it hard to locate. They pack you in very tight, however, if there was one high point it was the excellent service.

Fantastic hideaway. Perfect portions, great acoustics, you could hear the live music perfectly and still have a normal level conversation. A very rare find to have great food and an acoustically perfect space.

We love Verse and it was a treat to attend the Chef Oscar Torres' dinner with an Australian wine pairing of Mac Forbes wines from the Yarra Valley region. It was a lovely room with very impressive high-end service, and everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves. The price was very reasonable, and I understand they have these monthly, so I look forward to coming back.

This place is a hidden gem... How anyone could give Verse LA less than 5 stars is beyond me, it deserves 2 Michelin stars, or at least one. The staff is outstanding, the food is top notch (better than a lot of Michelin star restaurants in LA) and the different live music every night sets it into another class of restaurant. Love this place and even though it's packed every time I've been, it still somehow feels like one of LA's best kept secrets.

The etxebarri beef chop (a ribeye, is what the server explained) was executed so perfectly, I’ve never had a better steak. It came rare, but it melted in your mouth. Perfect on its own with just the Murray River salt, but it was accompanied by an amazing Bordelaise sauce with bone marrow that I wanted to take home with me…I wanted to spoon that sauce over everything!
Ambience is cozy, avoid the two tables that are right next to where all the servers come in and out of the kitchen, especially when sitting facing them - that’s all you see. Hard to turn to the left to view the music. But all the other seats seemed fine.

This restaurant is simply amazing. I have eaten at some of the best restaurants in the world and seriously this might have been the best meal I can ever remember. Every dish was fantastic. Each one was so good I could not pick my favorite. Just an amazing chef. He came out to meet us and said. Never trust a skinny chef. LOL. Portions were perfect and food was a 10 out of 5. The best!! Service unbelievable, as every dish was explained to you as they served you. I simply can’t wait to go back Thanks Ross
Make reservations if you're trying to get here on a weekend. Great spot for date nights. Live jazz music adds to the luxe atmosphere. The milk buns are divine and an absolute must have. Tartare is the other appetizer worth grabbing every time. Dry aged duck breast and the branzino are excellent entree choices. Desserts are the weak link in the menu. Of all the options, it was the olive oil cake that was a pleasant surprise.
We are SO LUCKY to have a restaurant of this caliber in our neighborhood. I’ve lived in the neighborhood for 11 years and can say without a shadow of a doubt, Verse is the best thing to happen around here in all that time! Beyond that, it’s become one of my (and many other people’s) favorite restaurants in all of los Angeles. The food is great, the service superb, and the music WOLRD CLASS. It’s always a safe bet when taking someone here, or recommending it, that they will absolutely fall in love, too. Thank you Verse!!

My wife and I had an incredible experience at Verse LA. From the moment we walked in, we were struck by the stylish, intimate atmosphere — perfect for a night out together. The staff was welcoming, attentive without being intrusive, and made us feel right at home.
The food was absolutely outstanding — each dish was not only beautifully presented but bursting with flavor. You can tell a lot of thought and passion goes into the menu. The wine selection paired perfectly with our meal, and the cocktails were creative and balanced.
On top of everything, the vibe of the place really sets it apart. The live music and acoustics created such a unique ambiance — it felt like dining inside a performance.
We left already planning our next visit. Verse LA is a gem in Los Angeles, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.
