One of few restaurants where a dull grey day does not feel dull inside. The filtered light through windows is always warm and inviting. Service also warm and inviting. Best of all is the food. Soups excellent with a hint of garnish to make them elegant. My husband had the Cobb and I had the pork bao buns. Everything fresh, wines very good and my husband’s martini as he likes it. Our favorite museum restaurant.

Our lunch at the Restaurant was amazing! It was our first visit to the Getty Museum and the lunch made it just that much more memorable. We had the Cobb salad and the Bao selections. Both were delicious and the service was top notch as well. Of course the view was fabulous!!
