  • Neighbourhood gem
Delicious and colorful California-fresh ingredients are the soul of our thoughtfully crafted and constantly evolving Mediterranean-inspired menu. Savor the spectacular array of seasonal vegetables, lean proteins, seafood, whole grains and artisanal pasta, breads and cheeses that invigorate our kitchen in healthy and exciting ways. Steps away, our comfortable and welcoming dining room is complemented by a bar/lounge and two outdoor patios that take full advantage of Southern California’s mild climate and the vibrancy of the UCLA campus to create an unforgettable year-round al fresco dining experience.

Seating at Plateia is first come first serve, as we don't guarantee location of table with a reservation, but if you have a reservation, you are guaranteed a table!
Plateia is a dog friendly restaurant, but even with a reservation, a wait may be necessary if the patio is full.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Plateia offers a "hidden gem" experience on UCLA campus with "amazing food" and a "welcoming atmosphere." The Greek salad, halibut, and pork chop are standout dishes. Enjoy outdoor dining on the "lovely patio" and appreciate the "no tipping policy." Service can occasionally be slow but remains friendly.

    One of the most outstanding outdoor eating venues in Los Angeles. Beautiful courtyard, more secure than curbside outdoor dining -- and great food and dazzling restaurant/conference center.

    I have dined at Plateia quite often since it opened. Mostly I’ve eaten lunch but occasionally dinner. Almost always my experience has been very positive, last night however, I was very unhappy. There were three of us for dinner, myself, my wife and a guest. We started with the gem salad which was ample for the three of us to split and very good as usual. For the main courses, I ordered the bolognese, my wife the scallops and our guest the lamb. My wife did not want the vegetables (Brussels sprouts) that came with the scallops so I requested that they substitute with some potatoes. The waiter said he would try. We didn’t have any alcohol and one of us had lemonade. When the food came they served us and my wife got a side of Yukon gold potatoes. We had finished about half of our meal when I noticed that my wife was picking at her scallops. She said that she thought they were undercooked so I tried one and first of all it was cold and second it was barely cooked (scallop sashimi more than seared). I tried to flag down our waiter but evidently his shift ended. After about 5 minutes a different waiter came and I asked him about the scallops, he said he would send someone over. In a few minutes another waiter came and I asked him to ask the chef if the scallops were cooked properly. He took what remained and didn’t return. As we were almost done with our main courses I assumed that they would address my concerns on the check. We had dessert (2 apple tar tarts) and two coffees. When the bill came I was surprised that that’s no adjustment for the cold undercooked scallops, in fact no one came by to say anything about them. In addition the potatoes were not a substitute for the Brussels sprouts we were charged full price as an additional item. The bill was a bit over $200 - I am extremely disappointed with the service, the food and the value. Hopefully this was a fluke.

    The pasta bolognese wasn't as delicious as my previous experience there, and the pasta was too undercooked. I would have wanted at least a small piece of vegetable or roll with the pasta. It was strange that you did not have steak sauce or Thousand Island dressing. I think the game day menu is far too limited.

    The Plateia is a lovely place to go on the campus of UCLA. You. need to, of course, make reservations but you can choose to eat inside or outside if weather allows (no problem in California! The serves are verh attentive and helpful. IIf we choose to stay there a little longer & there are no people waiting, they do not bother you. I choose to go there to meet my friends on the Westside!

    I was expecting the harissa spiced lamb to be spicier. Failing that, it would have been nice to be served harissa on the side so might have adjusted the heat.
