Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Mid-Wilshire

My wife and I enjoyed our dinner very much. The food was delicious and interesting. The service was excellent and thoughtful. We will definitely return and will bring friends. Bacari is a nice addition to the neighborhood. We each ordered a main course and we shared two sides, which was ample. We couldn’t resist dessert, and it was worth it!

A delightful brunch with our family- who requested a return visit to Petit Trois this trip and it exceeded expectations! The atmosphere, new outdoor decor, the expanded menu, the absolutely delicious food, good vibes excellent service — a perfect Sunday afternoon, thank you!

We go to many Michelin Star restaurants and enjoy the tasting menus. We decided Meteora was next after having experienced Vespertine, both restaurants by Chef Jordan Kahn. The culinary experience begins the moment you walk through the elegantly designed entrance. Once inside, you are enveloped in an ambiance of sophistication and warmth by decor of harmonious blend of modern aesthetics and subtle nods to nature. There were plenty of soft lighting and organic materials to make you feel like one with nature. The service by our waiter Daniel and staff was impeccable. They guided us through an exquisite journey of flavors. The culinary creations at Meteora are nothing short of art. Each dish is a testament to the chef’s dedication to innovation and quality, showcasing locally sourced ingredients that are transformed into masterpieces. The tasting menu is a must-try, offering a series of meticulously crafted courses that take your palate on a delightful adventure. We asked for something more than the 4-course tasting menu and the staff came back with the 7-course menu. Our party of 6 embarked on the latter journey. As the meal progressed, it became clear that Meteora is not just about food; it's about storytelling. Seated in the private dining room called “The Nest”, our group enjoyed the culinary experience and said this is up there with a few of our favorite Michelin star restaurants.

Delicious food but portions are small. They have “big plates”, which I didn’t try and they said were a bit bigger, but it’s different entrées than the other ones so I wasn’t interested in. But aside from that, everything was really delicious. Had the charcuterie platter, focaccia, brisket and cannoli and everything was really good.

This is third thanksgiving had La Bohème and was not as good as a previous two years. Turkey with a little dry and could have used more gravy and mashed potatoes or not hot. I’m not having dessert. Options was also a disappointment. I love the restaurant, the energy and the service, but the food needs to improve.
