Best Fun Restaurants in Mid-Wilshire

Outstanding food, ambiance, and service. We enjoyed everything and some items were simply perfect. The Buffalo Mozzarella with Garlic bread and anchovies were mind blowing. Grilled octopus was sensational with the subtle potato salad underneath. Oxtail Ragu was great, could’ve been a bit saltier. Braised Veal Cheek was great and well made with the mashed potatoes, yet the flavor of the beef got buried a bit by the potato. We got a well done hanger steak, it was a bit dry, and we’ll for sure get it medium next time. Crispy Duck was easily one of my favorites as the sweet sauce and the lemon combination it was served with definitely gave it an adventurous taste that makes you full in the best way possible. The desserts were simply magnificent, starting with the Torta Della Nonna, Pistachio Gelato, and our top favorite item, Apple Borsellino. Overall, an amazing experience for a great price in Los Angeles. 9.5/10

Filet mignon is always perfect, fries and creamed spinach w a wedge salad to start is a tasty go to. Finish it w coffee and bread pudding. There’s about a hundred combos I love. Lobster thermidor and sand dabs crush as a main course as well.

We went during the day during winter break. Wait time was no more than 5 minutes for be seated and to get out drinks after we ordered. Decor and menu items were well done in line with the Arcane theme. We're planning on coming back if we have time before the event is over.

The food was outstanding and the service was excellent. There are so many "fancy" restaurants in Los Angeles where the food is disappointing, but this was not one of them. Having known about Republique for many years and seeing it on many "best" lists I was prepared to be disappointed, but it met my expectations. My parents and I were very pleased with our meal, the service, and the ambience which is beautiful. It qualifies as one of the best restaurants we've eaten at in Los Angeles, and is deserving of its designation as one of LA's top restaurants.

This place is always amazing. Unique and so much fun. The people I took with me were floored, hah.
