Best Historic Restaurants in Topanga

We had a fantastic dinner here last night. Everyone enjoyed their meals (veal parm, veal picatta and seafood pasta dish) the sauces were excellent. We subbed vegetables for side pasta. Calamari app was the best we’ve ever had. Good value and great service. It was my son’s birthday and they presented him with a Happy Birthday dessert. Would love to return.

Edgemar Restaurant is a beautifully day lit space facing Frank Gehry’s Edgemar courtyard. Loved the cocktails, food, vibe and service. In addition, it’s convenient on site parking.

There was a beautiful table, generous cocktails, and a delicious dinner. But the topper is that I did not finish my dinner; it was beautifully packaged and placed in a black take-out bag for me. I forgot the bag when leaving the restaurant. I was walking down San Vicente, and I heard someone calling my name. It's Quentin, our waiter, bringing me my leftovers. Amazing, above-and-beyond-service. Baltaire is in my top five restaurants in LA. Quentin, thank you again.

No good. Food was either cold or terrible. Their idea of a Cacio de Pepsi pizza was horrible. The pasta came cold. Food was not good

So many staples in Westwood have closed since the pandemic, so we had shifted to restaurants in the San Fernando Valley before going to the Geffen Playhouse, but decided to try Wolfsglen last night for the 1st time. Am very pleased to say we have found our new "go to"! Food was exceptional (best Caesar I have ever had) and the seared salmon prepared perfectly (and there are so many ways to mess up salmon). My friend had the artichoke pizza, which would not have been top of list for me, but she had me try it and it too was delicious. Wine options were relatively few but of high quality so we unusually had two glasses each. Service was also exceptional, felt attended to without being overly interrupted, offered a not-on-the-menu side salad when I asked about their salad size as I wanted a salad ahead of the main course, and more. Noise volume and energy increased during the meal, and it got hard to hear each other along the way, but worth it all around and just might find a corner table next time. Will definitely be back and will be bringing friends and family.
