Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Playa Vista

Not sure how I missed chef Mairinger having a restaurant opened up again since January. I loved his “Bierbeisl” restaurant back in the day. “Lustig” was absolutely fabulous! We started with the “Bigeye Tuna Canoli”, and we had a veal “Wiener Schnitzel” and a Sausage Sampler as mains. Absolutely excellent food. We finished with the “Strudel Cigars” and added a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream to it. Icing on the cake. Service was also top notch, and Chef Mairinger came out at the end to ask for our opinion. While it is on the pricier side, it is worth every penny, and we definitely will be back! Glad to see he’s back on the map, so to speak!

My wife and I have been going to MEET in Paris for years. Last night's meal was the best we've ever had there. My steak was tender and delicious and all the food was excellent.

Superfine brunch with kids: breakfast burrito was rated “very tasty,” as were the burger (“this is huge!”), fried chicken sandwich (“very good”), and the kids’ chicken fingers with fries (“these are like *fancy* chicken fingers!”). I had the farro with roasted vegetables and it was tasty and filling - I had enough for leftovers. As for the 4 kids I brought - all plates were clean at the end of the meal! Great atmosphere to chill on the weekend. Football games were on for those interested but kids were fine hanging out and able to run around outside at Runway when they needed to.

Cute little restaurant with a great partially covered patio in back. Amazing gluten free food, wide selection of wines from bargain to opulent, great service and fun music.

Next level. More people need to be coming here. Essential.
