I wish I can leave more stars for the venue and Amanda (our wedding coordinator.) When my husband and I were looking for venues in the Los Angeles area, we stumbled upon Inn of the Seventh Ray. We were both floored at how professional, personable, and creative Amanda was on our intake meeting. Since our initial intake till the end of the wedding, Amanda has delivered and exceeded our expectations as it relates to her communication; clearly an expert in her field, by ways of creative solutions she would immediately respond with to any potential issues we foresaw. Amanda is also genuine and personable and saw the vision I laid out for her and delivered on all measures. The wedding was beautiful, beyond exceptional, the bar was flowing, the food was phenomenal, cocktail hour was beautiful and all our guests have commented that they’ve never been somewhere so beautiful before or that they’ve never attended a more beautiful wedding.Thank you Amanda for making our day memorable, exactly as we discussed, and with no drama! You are amazing!!

What is there about Inn of the Seventh Ray that hasn't already been said? If you know, well, you know; if you've yet to visit, treat yourself.This restaurant frequently doubles as a wedding venue, and for good reason. Its natural, whimsical atmosphere is evocative of A Midsummer Night's Dream, especially when a chorus of frogs is singing and the canopy of trees above the creekside veranda is lit by twinkling fairy lights after sunset. There is a quaint indoor dining area with a fireplace, but it's almost always empty, because it pales in comparison to the tables, sights, and sounds outside.Equally as impressive are the service and menu, as you can tell the staff, both in the front of the house and in the kitchen, are happy to be here. Granted, there are always bound to be exceptions, but I've been fortunate to only ever have the most positive of experiences. Whether you're a carnivore, pescatarian, or vegan, you'll be delighted to find plenty of options.
This is the perfect place for a leisurely brunch. The food is good, and the location is perfection!

One of the most amazing dinner experiences I have had, our server Saul was an amazing gentleman who was very knowledgeable and very pleasant to deal with. We had an eight course meal, and each one was brought out on time. Our plates and silverware were replaced between every course.

Nestled in a magical forest-like setting, the Inn Of The Seventh Ray offers a dining experience that feels like stepping into a secret garden filled with enchantment. As the sun sets, the restaurant truly comes to life with dazzling lights that sparkle and a symphony of nature sounds, including the gentle babbling of a creek and the chorus of frogs and other creatures of the night.Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the hostess and promptly escorted to our seats. Having made reservations in advance to celebrate our anniversary, the restaurant held a special place in our hearts, as it was where I had proposed to my partner 18 years ago.The true highlight of the evening, however, was our waiter Saul, who provided impeccable service and truly elevated our dining experience. His attentiveness and friendly demeanor set the stage for a memorable evening. I entrusted him to curate our meal, and he did not disappoint.Our culinary journey began with the Crispy Shrimp Cakes with sauce Louie, piquillo peppers, parsley, and fennel, a delightful starter priced at $20.00. The flavors were expertly balanced, and the shrimp cakes were perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside.Next, we savored the Beef Tartare served with truffle egg, green apple, soy, sesame, and brioche for $21.00. The dish was a harmonious blend of textures and flavors, showcasing the chef's skillful execution and attention to detail.For the third course, we enjoyed the Yellowfin Tuna Crudo with white ponzu, herbs, cucumber, and olive, priced at $22.00. The freshness of the tuna shone through, complemented by the bright and zesty flavors of the accompanying ingredients.Our fourth course was the Seared Diver Scallops with wild mushrooms, snap peas & tendrils, artichoke creme, and charred lemon, a luxurious dish priced at $48.00. The scallops were perfectly seared to a golden brown, and each bite was a symphony of flavors and textures.For our fifth course, we indulged in the Oven Roasted Sea Bass with saffron fumet, sancerre-braised leeks, and fennel, priced at $44.00. The sea bass was cooked to perfection, with a delicate flakiness that paired beautifully with the aromatic saffron fumet and tender braised leeks.Moving on to the sixth course, we delighted in the 8-Hour Braised Short Rib served with creamy rosemary polenta, duck bacon Brussels sprouts, and caramelized onion & fig jam, priced at $55.00. The short rib was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the accompanying sides added layers of richness and depth to the dish.Our penultimate savory course was the 8oz Oven Roasted Filet Mignon accompanied by truffle whipped potatoes, watercress, salmoriglio, and vinegar-braised cipollini onion, priced at $64.00. The filet mignon was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, showcasing the quality of the meat, and the sides enhanced the dish with their complementary flavors.To conclude our exquisite meal, we enjoyed the Banana Bread Pudding with caramel, candied banana, and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, priced at $14.00. The warm, comforting flavors of the banana bread pudding paired with the cool sweetness of the ice cream created a delightful end to our culinary journey.In conclusion, our dining experience at the Inn Of The Seventh Ray was nothing short of exceptional. From the enchanting setting reminiscent of a hidden secret garden to the impeccable service and the masterfully crafted dishes, every aspect of our evening was a testament to the restaurant's dedication to providing a memorable dining experience.I wholeheartedly recommend the Inn Of The Seventh Ray to anyone looking for a magical escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, where every bite is a journey of flavors and every moment is infused with a sense of wonder and delight. It is truly a gem waiting to be discovered, and a place where culinary dreams come true.

We been here for wedding. It's beautiful place for wedding, too. Romantic and gorgeous place for wedding. It's been 2nd times for wedding as flower shop.
Great ambiance and beautiful place! The food was good but not the best.The sea bass was overcooked and not so tasty. However, my friend got the steak, I tried it and it was great! So tasty and delicious! I forgot to take a picture of the appetizer, which was so good (we got the mushroom and cheese plate). The desserts were good as well.And that picture from the beautiful chandelier above our table, but in the picture, it looks like...! ?

I sent an email with this feedback to the restaurant a few days before posting this review. They did not respond.What a disappointment of an anniversary dinner. Dined on Monday, March 25th at 7pm. We’d been wanting to try out Inn of the Seventh Ray for a couple years now and have heard so many good things so we booked a reservation for our anniversary. We arrived and made our way down to check in with the host. All of the dirty kitchen mats were hung out to dry along the walk to the host stand and you could smell them.We were sat at our table and water arrived quickly. The space is beautiful, of course, and the table was great. However then we waiting nearly 20 minutes for our server to arrive. She arrived out of breath and did not apologize for the wait or even welcome us to the restaurant. Just stood with her note pad ready to take our entire order at one time.Drinks and bread arrived and were tasty, then one of our appetizers arrived but the salad never showed up. Our server never checked on us for an opportunity to tell her. We informed the busser about the missing dish as he cleared our first course plates but it still didn’t arrive. Our main courses then arrived and still no one checked on us. Halfway through our main dishes our server finally came by and checked on us at which point we told her we never received our salad. She did not apologize or seem concerned just asked if we still wanted the salad. We declined and she just walked away. The chicken dish was not good. It was underseasoned and the skin was soggy and had no color. The short ribs were dry but tasted good.At the end of the meal we declined desert as we just wanted to leave. We gave our credit card to our server and it was returned by someone who looked like a manager who also did not ask how our meal was.There was a wedding happening at the restaurant that night but I feel like you should still be able to maintain the service and food for the guests who had made reservations. The space is beautiful but the food and especially the service were so disappointing. Frustrating to spend that much money on an anniversary dinner only to leave so disappointed.
