   It was definitely an excellent experience. If you have never been to a gastronomical type restaurant I would recommend dining at this restaurant. The price is on par with other restaurants that focuses on creating experiences. The food is creatively presented and tastefully prepared. The various drink pairings work well with the offerings. The staff is superb, providing insightful commentary on the cuisine. The ambience is nice with a low noise level and artsy vibe.

   Great experience and really wellcome stuff. The menu is just incredible and the combination of some Latin ingredients bring a really distinct flavour, When you get in you have the opportunity to look the chefs in action in the kitchen, is a really good thing that the chef bring the opportunity to engage the customer with his laboratory. Thanks again.

   A Journey Through the Cosmos at Vespertine There are meals, and then there are experiences—transcendent, immersive, and otherworldly. Vespertine is not just a restaurant; it is an odyssey, a symphony of senses, a dialogue between space, sound, and taste. Returning after six years, I found myself stepping into a realm where time dissolves and the familiar constructs of dining are reimagined. The architecture, stark yet poetic, sets the stage for an experience that unfolds like a dream—each course a revelation, each sip of wine a new movement in an unfolding sonata. The cuisine at Vespertine is alchemy—flavors that collide and intertwine, textures that surprise, an interplay of hot and cold, soft and crisp, delicate yet profound. Each dish is composed with the precision of an artist and the curiosity of an explorer, designed not only to be eaten but to be felt, contemplated, and remembered. The service is a quiet choreography, an effortless ballet of knowledge and intuition. The servers—guardians of this ethereal space—hold within them a depth of understanding, guiding guests through the journey with a reverence that matches the art they present. From room to room, the experience evolves, shifting in tone, in light, in sensation. Each space within Vespertine whispers a different story, pulling the diner deeper into its gravity, blurring the line between reality and reverie. Six years have passed, yet Vespertine remains a beacon of avant-garde gastronomy, an experience not merely consumed but lived. It is not just a dinner; it is a meditation, a crescendo, an awakening. To dine here is to surrender—to the unknown, to the surreal, to the extraordinary.

   We were quite disappointed with the service. Not the service you would want for 1000$ meal :(

    Very few places in Los Angeles will provide this level of creativity, originality, attention to detail, or an experience as memorable as Vespertine. One of the best restaurants in the world for sure. It is also so refreshing to have such a diverse set of fixed courses and just trust the chef. Dinner for two with drinks can easily surpass $1,500 once you include the tip, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it is totally worth it.
