Best Restaurants for People Watching in Westwood

The seating experience was great! Were brought to the bar for a drink and then our table, staff was very nice. The food was great, but our server was not very friendly. Seating was fast and course timing was perfect. Would recommend!

Great experience. Food was excellent and staff were outstanding.

Great staff and service, always makes such a difference.

This was founded by the original owners of Mastro’s and, before tonight, most of my wine buddies had been here and told me how much they loved it. “Best Steakhouse in LA” they told me! I was somewhat skeptical. Tonight, I experienced it for myself and it was truly wonderful! We had a very attentive and thoughtful server, Jess, whom I will absolutely request on my next visit there. She knows the menu inside and out, is not timid about making suggestions, and was not at all flustered by our “Sally-like” requests (from the movie with “everything on the side”!). We had one minor issue (the kitchen’s not Jess’) and after Jess fixed it for us to our complete satisfaction, the Manager came over to make sure. He was incredibly friendly; took ownership; comped dessert; and, frankly, reinforced the incredibly positive vibes I had gotten interacting with our servers and the hostesses on our arrival. All-in-all this is a fantastic restaurant with top-quality food, presented beautifully, and served lovingly. 5-Stars all the way!

Greeting, I had never heard of LAVO until I saw it on Instagram. It was my first visit at LAVO LA. I was celebrating my birthday. It was absolutely phenomenal. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends. You guys are doing a great job! Connie - Tiara64 💕
