The atmosphere is unbeatable. although the food was good, not sure it was 5 stars for what we ordered. Really wishing I got a steak, since they looked amazing. Bread dish was excellent. Steak tartare and coffee cake and ice cream were pretty good but not my favorite. Service was very good. Definitely want to come back and try a few entrees that looked amazing.

Food was mostly good. The ambience was perfect for a date night with the wife! We ordered the beet salad, Brussels sprouts, rigatoni and the filet mignon. All items were excellent EXCEPT the filet mignon. The filet mignon was NOT a real fillet mignon. It was steak glued together using Transglutaminase. It was priced very high, but a complete let down. The taste was covered up with a sweet steak sauce. I felt duped and ripped off.

My husband and I just celebrated our wedding here September 6,2025 and there are no words for how magical this place is. We had 75 guests celebrate with us on the Fountain Patio and Amanda with her team (Mariya, Krystal, and Karla) made the day stress free and unforgettable. The venue is accommodating, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is beautiful. We had the pleasure of getting ready and staying the evening at The Amethyst Inn next door and I highly recommend for weddings or even just staying the night! Amanda, Mariya, Krystal, and Karla were always checking in and really did give us a worry-free evening as well as the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen (although I may be a little biased). We even had the pleasure of enjoying brunch the next day!

First timers... we had the weekend brunch in celebration for our anniversary. OMG!!! So wonderful. The salads, I had the arugula walnut, the quinoa, and the beet, (and threw in some pickled onions). Soooo good!!! For the mains, eggs benedict, jumbo shrimp, chicken, and mushrooms. Yum!!!! Did the deserts of course, so good. EVERYTHING was on point! Don't think I'll eat for a week 😂😂 The servers were kind and we enjoyed ourselves in this outdoor, covered woodland setting. We will be returning for sure!!

The Inn of the Seventh Ray is absolutely amazing! The vibe and atmosphere are so relaxing and beautiful. Everywhere you look, there are fresh flowers that make the whole place feel magical. The food was delicious, and everything about the experience felt special and serene. Truly one of the most beautiful dining experiences I’ve ever had!

Wow! Our daughter recommended this place and it was a beautiful location and the food was delicious. We enjoyed the Sea Bass and Tri-tip. The banana bread pudding was amazing! Parking can be challenging but that's Topanga.

A phenomenal meal made even better with a gorgeous ambience and scenery. The food was delicious. (I recommend the six hour slow cooked short answered me rib with a nice heaping of mashed potatoes). The desserts were also to die for and the service was attentive and quick.

Most of all you feel like you are in a tucked away corner of LA and you really feel the spiritual elements that make the end a special place for any occasion. Whether you are sitting under an old tree or in one of the beautiful chandelier raised gazebos, you’ll have a magnificent experience.

Our entire downstairs had no power, and it turned out to be a single fuse. They replaced it quickly and even tested the appliances connected to it. Really great service and very trustworthy people.

Unfortunately it was not a good experience. Prior to paying for my rsvp I had spoken with management and expressed we were a group of ladies and 6 of us were to celebrate our birthday together in their location. I asked if we could get the creek and was explained it s not rsvped ahead because you don’t know what the weather might be. Which makes sense. The day prior to the event, I checked the weather and it was going to be a fabulous day. I called several times and even left messages. No one never got back to me. They explained later that their phones don’t work. The day of the event, I had checked on Google for their opening time being 9am. I arrived at 9:10am. The hostess went to seat the family that preceded me, then I spoke with her. I requested to visit the grounds for my later time brunch. Very annoyed, she explained that they were actually closed and would open at 9:30am. I pointed that the website says 9am opening and she just sat people down. She awkwardly insisted that she is closed and will open at 9:30am. Mind you, it s my birthday and I want to have a good day. I smiled and said I will wait. Thus, I stood there at the reception and observed quietly how she helped everyone walking in. Small detail, I was the only black person there. By the time she called a manager to come help me, it was 9:50am, I was there at 9:10am for a visit of the grounds. This encounter made me late for my 10am pickleball class near by. After our pickleball game, my group and I went to the restaurant on time. The hostess walked us by the creek and sat us on very dirty tables and chairs covered by big umbrellas. It was obvious the umbrellas were placed after the tables were already dirty and no one bothered to wipe them. We did it ourselves. One of our tables didn’t have an umbrella, so we had to move the umbrella ourselves after waiting for staff to come help. My group had been there once and we have decided to never return.
